Supply air and extract air control with a master-slave setup

Application

  • Offices, large and small meeting rooms, kitchens with special requirements

  • For demanding requirements on volume flow control


  • Data communication with a higher level system


System setup
The system consists of a VAV terminal unit with a TROX UNIVERSAL controller for supply air, and a VAV terminal unit with a TROX UNIVERSAL controller for extract air. A plug-in communication cable connects the two controllers. The system can be expanded: Up to 24 TROX UNIVERSAL controllers can be connected to a communication cable. You can activate the room management function on a supply air controller or on an extract air controller, depending on project requirements. The controller with the RMF then acts as the master controller for the room.

  • Extract air led system: Based on extract air flow rate setpoint value for the room; extract air controller with room management function as master, supply air controller as slave

  • Supply air led system: Based on supply air flow rate setpoint value for the room; supply air controller with room management function as master, extract air controller as slave

Use the controller with the RMF to set the room parameters. The master controller sends the volume flow rate actual value (and other values) via the communication cable to the slave controller. The slave controller uses this value to determine the flow rate setpoint value. In case of air transfer a constant supply air to extract air difference will be maintained.

Room management function

  • Setpoint volume flow rate default setting for a room

  • Centralised operating mode default setting for all controllers in a room (standard mode, reduced operation, increased operation, shut- off, OPEN position)

  • Connection of BE-LCD control panel, optional

  • Consolidated alarms for a room


Connection to higher-level systems
The controller can be connected to higher level systems with expansion modules for open bus systems (LonWorks, Modbus, BACnet). The function varies according to the controller equipment function.

  • Master controller (RMF): Central interface point for room data

  • Slave controller: Local data interface for this controller

Application

  • Kitchens with special requirements, isolation wards, clean rooms, operating theatres

  • For demanding requirements on volume flow control and pressure control

  • Data communication with higher level systems


System setup
The system consists of a VAV terminal unit with a TROX UNIVERSAL controller for supply air, a VAV terminal unit with a TROX UNIVERSAL controller for extract air, and a room pressure controller. A plug-in communication cable connects the controllers. The system can be expanded: Up to 24 TROX UNIVERSAL controllers can be connected to a communication cable. Only one room pressure controller can be used per room. Whether room pressure control is based on supply air or on extract air depends on the project. Use the room pressure controller to activate the room management function. The controller with the RMF then acts as the master controller for the room.

  • Extract air led system: Room pressure controller with room management function in the extract air flow; the extract air controller controls the volume flow rate for the room based on demand; the supply air controller follows the extract air controller; the room pressure controller ensures that the setpoint pressure is maintained

  • Supply air led system: Room pressure controller with room management function in the supply air flow; the supply air controller controls the volume flow rate for the room based on demand; the extract air controller follows the supply air controller; the room pressure controller ensures that the setpoint pressure is maintained 

The master controller sends the volume flow rate actual value (and other values) via the communication cable to the slave controller. The slave controller uses this value to determine the flow rate setpoint value. The room pressure controller maintains the variable or constant setpoint pressure by opening the control damper blade to a greater or lesser degree. Use the controller with the RMF to set the room parameters.

Application

  • Clean rooms, ICUs, operating theatres

  • For demanding requirements on volume flow control and pressure control

  • Data communication with higher level systems


System setup

The system consists of a VAV terminal unit with a TROX UNIVERSAL controller for supply air, a VAV terminal unit with a TROX UNIVERSAL controller for extract air, and a room pressure controller. In the room there is also an enclosure that is to be provided with supply air. A VAV terminal unit maintains a constant duct pressure in the supply air duct. A plug-in communication cable connects the controllers. The system can be expanded: Up to 24 TROX UNIVERSAL controllers can be connected to a communication cable. Whether room pressure control is based on supply air or on extract air depends on the project. Use the room pressure controller to activate the room management function. The controller with the RMF then acts as the master controller for the room.

  • Extract air led system: Room pressure controller with room management function in the extract air flow; the extract air controller controls the volume flow rate for the room based on demand; the supply air controller follows the extract air controller; the room pressure controller ensures that the setpoint pressure is maintained

  • Supply air led system: Room pressure controller with room management function in the supply air flow; the supply air controller controls the volume flow rate for the room based on demand; the extract air controller follows the supply air controller; the room pressure controller ensures that the setpoint pressure is maintained 

Use the controller with the RMF to set the room parameters. Room pressure and duct pressure values can be configured with the respective pressure controller and are output on that same controller. The room pressure controller is used to maintain the variable or constant setpoint pressure by opening the control damper blade to a greater or lesser degree. The master controller sends the volume flow rate actual value via the communication cable to the slave controller. The slave controller uses this value to determine the flow rate setpoint value. In case of air transfer a constant supply air to extract air difference will be maintained. The duct pressure controller maintains the constant or variable setpoint pressure; the duct pressure controller can also be fitted with an optional volume flow rate measuring point. The controller then transmits the volume flow rate actual value to the system such that it can be used for room balancing. Control of the damper blade of VAV terminal units with a a pressure controller is a closed loop.

Room management function

  • Connection and use of BE-LCD control panel

  • Centralised operating mode default setting for all controllers in a room (standard mode, reduced operation, increased operation, shut- off, OPEN position)

  • Setpoint volume flow rate default setting for a room

  • Consolidated alarms for a room, including pressure alarm


Connection to higher-level systems

Expansion modules for open bus systems (LonWorks, Modbus, BACnet) can be used to connect the controller to higher-level systems; these modules can be used as follows:

  • on the controller with the RMF: central interface point for room data

  • on the slave controller: local data interface for this controller
