The RWF40... is a universal digital boiler temperature / pressure controller with
functions designed specifically for the control of heat generating plant.
The RWF40... and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which integrate
the controller in their products!
Mechanical design
The controller is supplied complete with housing for flush panel mounting. The
RWF40... is matched to the controlled variable and the required setpoint range by making parameter settings. The control parameters can be set and optimized while the
burner is running. All settings are made with 4 buttons located on the unit front and are
directly displayed.
LEDs on the front indicate the following operating states:
- Control ON / OFF
- Positioning pulses ON or OFF for driving the burner´s air damper when using
modulating burner control, or stage I / stage II when using 2-stage burner control
- «2-stage» operating mode
- Position of the configurable contact «K6»
- Manual control ON / OFF
During operation, the digital display above the LEDs shows the setpoint (green), the
actual value (red) and – when making parameter settings – the relevant parameters.

Function of the controller when used for burner control
Low-fire operation
In low-fire operation, the RWF40... operates like a control thermostat or pressurestat.
This means that it operates as a 2-position controller maintaining the required setpoint
by switching the burner on and off. The switching differential for 2-position operation
can be adjusted within a wide range. If the demand for heat increases, the controller
switches to high-fire operation only when an adjustable limit is exceeded. This function
is aimed at optimizing the burner´s switching ratio.
High-fire operation,
2-stage control
In that case, the RWF40... operates as a 2-position controller with adjustable switching
thresholds. Using the relays of the 3-position output, the RWF40... drives the actuator
to the 1
switches between the minimum signal for the 1
for the 2
st
and 2nd output stage. In this operating mode, the optional analog output
nd
stage.
High-fire operation,
modulating control
In that case, the RWF40... operates as a PID / PI controller with a 3-position output
without position feedback signals or, optionally, with a modulating output. By making
use of its self-setting facility, the RWF40... is able to determine the PID / PI control
parameters, or the parameters can be set manually.
Binary input 1 (changeover of operating mode)
Using a potential-free contact, the RWF40... can be switched from the modulating
mode to 2-stage operation.
Binary input 2 (setpoint
shifting or setpoint
changeover)
In the case «setpoint shifting» is configured, the current setpoint is shifted by an adjustable amount. Configuration of «setpoint changeover» provides changeover between 2
setpoints adjusted on the RWF40... If analog input 2 is configured for an «external setpoint», changeover is provided between the setpoint adjusted on the RWF40... and an
external setpoint.
Limit comparator
Potential-free contact «K6» can be assigned a number of functions.
Example:
Limit value supervision
Operation
4 buttons on the unit front are used to operate and program the RWF40... During operation and programming, the 7-segment displays show the parameter values and parameter names.
Weather-dependent
setpoint shifting
The controller´s standard configuration ex works is such that when connecting a
QAC22… outside sensor, automatic changeover to weather-dependent setpoint shifting
takes place.
The signal delivered by the QAC2... outside sensor must not be fed parallel to several RWF40...!
