Description
NovoCon® S
NovoCon® S is a high accuracy multi-functional
field bus actuator, specifically designed for use
in combination with the Pressure Independent
Control Valve type AB-QM in sizes from DN 10-32.
The flow is modulated by the AB-QM pressure
independent control valve to avoid overflow and
reduced boiler and/or chiller efficiency.
The actuator with AB-QM is used to control water
supply to fan coil units, chilled beams, induction
units, small re-heaters, re-coolers, AHU’s and other
terminal units for zone control, in which heating/
chilled water is the controlled medium. Due to its
accuracy, remote functionality and flow indication
features, this product facilitates an accelerated
commissioning process, allows easy maintenance,
improves indoor comfort, increases energy savings
and allows for fair cost allocation of heat/cool
energy.
The high position accuracy of the actuator,
together with the pressure independent and linear
characteristic of the AB-QM valve, allow NovoCon®
S to be used as a flow indicator.
Setup of the actuator and valve parameters are
made via fieldbus. Control is achieved via field bus
or via analog inputs to NovoCon® S.
Typical applications are:
• Radiant ceiling panels, supplied by 4 pipes
(Heating supply and return and cooling supply
and return).
• Fan coil units, with single coils supplied by 4
pipes (Heating supply and return and cooling
supply and return).
General features:
• Remote commissioning/Pre-set/Flush features
• Flow, power emission and energy indication
• High position resolution and accuracy
• Energy management algorithms
• 4/2-pipe changeover applications
• I/O applications
• LED bar displaying status and alarms
• No tools required for mounting
• Maintenance-free lifetime
• Self-positioning process
• Low-noise operation
• Plug-in halogen free cables
• Auto MAC addressing for BACnet
• Auto baud rate detection
• Intrinsic alarm reporting for BACnet
• Valve blockage alarm
• Broken wire detection on analog control and
ground signal
• Choice of BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU in the
same product
• Mis-wiring protection on any wire up to 30 V
Combined with the Actuator NovoCon®
ChangeOver6, NovoCon® S offers a unique solution
in controlling both the AB-QM valve and a 6-port
motorised ball valve that performs a diverting
function between two water circuits in 4-pipe
changeover systems.
This diverting function, primarily used for radiant
panels, also allows the cooling and heating capacity
of a fan coil unit to be increased for the same
compact size compared to a double coil model
where the heating and cooling water circuits each
have their own coil.
The 6-port diverting valve and actuator work in
combination with an AB-QM PIBCV valve and
NovoCon® S bus actuator. The AB-QM balances the
flow and the NovoCon® S bus actuator controls
the flow. NovoCon® S also controls the 6-port
diverting valve actuator which switches between
heating and cooling. This unique functionality is
characterized by the following:
• There is only one single field bus and power
supply connection cable to the NovoCon® S
actuator. This powers both the NovoCon® S
and controls the 6-port actuator. Furthermore,
there is feedback from the 6-port actuator to
NovoCon® S.
• The NovoCon® S actuator automatically faultdetects, by means of comparing 0-10V control
& feedback signals, if the 6-port actuator is in
manual operation mode, removed from the
valve or if the 6-port valve is blocked.
• The NovoCon® S actuator has two Design Flow
Rate pre-settings: one for heating and another
for cooling.
• The NovoCon® S actuator indicates power
emission and logs energy consumption
for heating and cooling energy based on
flow, supply and return pipe temperature
measurement.
• While in maintenance mode, the 6-port actuator
is able to fully close the valve and prevent any
leakage, thereby saving on stop valves.
• Logic contained within the NovoCon® S actuator,
ensures that only one actuator in each pair
(NovoCon® S and 6-port valve actuator) drives.
This ensures that 2 actuators in the pair never
drive at the same time. This reduces voltage
booster demands in daisy chains.
• The NovoCon® S actuator detects if the 6-port
actuator cable is disconnected. If this is the case
an alarm is initiated.

• NovoCon® S + ChangeOver6 actuator represents
only ONE device on the fieldbus network
needing no physical I/O

Danfoss recommends that NovoCon® L/XL should be used on its own sub-network for optimal
performance.
General requirements and recommendations:
• Use the termination resistor (DIP switch 8) at the end of each daisy chain.
• Total maximum sub-network cable length is 1200m.
Daisy chain & Power booster
NovoCon® S
T-junctions
T-junction connections (stub lines) are not recommended.
In the event of T-Junction connections being used the following limitations must be adhered to:
- max T-junction cable length 1.5m (shortest standard digital cable)
- total length of Network max 640m (+ 100m stub length)
- max baud rate 76 kb/s 1)
- max number of devices on network 64 1)
- main cable should be standard RS485 bus, twisted pair, min thickness AWG22 / 0.32mm2.
1)
When using less than 32 devices you may attempt to raise the speed to 115 kb/s.
Star topology
Star topology is not according to the RS485 standard and should not be used with NovoCon® S, M
and L/XL.
DC Power supply (recommended)
When daisy chaining with 10m NovoCon® cables
and using a 24V DC power supply, additional
voltage boosters/power supply is needed when
12 NovoCons in series is exceeded. See table
below.
AC Power supply
When daisy chaining with 10m NovoCon® cables
and using a 24V AC power supply, additional
voltage boosters/power supply is needed when
7 NovoCons in series is exceeded. See table below.
Important: The power supply used must be able
to deliver 60% more power than the nominal
rating of NovoCon® S.

1.5m
If the supply voltage to the first device in the daisy chain is lower than 24V AC/DC, or long thin cables
other than NovoCon® cables are used, then the quantity of devices in the daisy chain may have to be
reduced.
The recommended maximum quantities of NovoCon® S are 64 pcs in one daisy chain connection.
If other BACnet devices are added with NovoCon® S in the same daisy chain connection, Danfoss
recommends a maximum of 32 pcs. to ensure sufficient network speed.
Danfoss recommends that NovoCon® S should be used on its own sub-network for optimal
performance.
General requirements and recommendations:
• Use Danfoss daisy chain cable to connect two NovoCon® S devices.
• Use Danfoss digital cable to connect NovoCon® S with another BACnet device.
• The current in cables should not exceed 3Arms at 30°C.
• Use the termination resistor (DIP switch 8) at the end of daisy chain.
• Voltage boosting may be achieved via any port.
• Generally, one power supply is preferred.
• If two power supplies are used, they must have the same polarity and the same common ground.
• A common ground must be used for all devices on the same sub-network, including routers and
gateways.
• Galvanic separation shall be provided for segments crossing buildings.
• Total maximum sub-network cable length is 1200m.

Multiplexers and relays (analog-digital-analog convertors) in combination with NovoCon® S, may be
used to gather information on, or control on/off devices.
Using NovoCon’s 0-10V output signal (AO:0 / 33286), multiplexer relays convert this signal in order
to switch devices on or off e.g. 7V signal from NovoCon® S is converted inside the multiplexer so
device1=on, device 2=on, device3=off. E.g. 4V signal from NovoCon® S is converted inside the
multiplexer so the device1=on, device 2=off, device3=off.
Using NovoCon’s 0-10V input signal (AI:0 / 33216) received from the multiplexers, the DDC can
decipher the meaning of the voltage signal e.g. 7V signal to NovoCon® S from the multiplexer is
deciphered by the DDC as meaning device1=on, device 2=on, device3=off. 4V signal to NovoCon® S
from the multiplexer is deciphered by the DDC as meaning device1=on, device 2=off, device3=off.

The ChangeOver6 is a 6-port valve with a rotary actuator that switches the flow between heating
and cooling. An AB-QM pressure independent balancing and control valve with an actuator is used
to balance the system and modulate the flow. When using the NovoCon® S for flow control, both
NovoCon® S and the Actuator NovoCon® ChangeOver6 are represented on the fieldbus network and
need no physical I/O for control.
Anti-sticking requirements:
Cooling:
To reduce the risk of the ball
valve sticking due to water
quality, the valve must be
partially rotated at least every
7 days. This is a factory default
setting and is handled by the
object MSV:11 / register 32812.

Normally cooling is connected to port 1 and 4 and heating to port 5 and 6. If, for some reason, this
is not the case, then Inverted CO6 mode (MSV:9/32810) must be used instead.
CO6, contrary to other ball valves, includes a shut off function. This function should only be used
during maintenance and not during operation. This replaces the need for four ball valves.
The Shut off command can only be performed when the Flow Rate Setpoint (AV:1/33280) is 0.

General
There are simple BACnet and Modbus settings that are essential to the basic setup configuration of
NovoCon® in order to communicate and control. These are contained in the BACnet objects or in
decimal format Modbus registers.

- Advanced configuration
and features
If the default setup of the actuator isn’t suitable, special attention has to be payed to the following objects:
MSV:9 / 32810 Application mode
MSV:3 / 32802 Selected Valve Type
MSV:10 / 32811 Application command & status
AV:30 / 32796 Design Flow Rate Heating

AI:1 / 33218 T1 value, temperature or resistance input
AI:2 / 33220 T2 value, temperature or resistance input
AI:3 / 33222 T3 value, temperature or resistance input
AV:32 / 33288 Power emission
MSV:13 / 32815 Energy management
Application mode:
The default Application mode is Digital Control. In this mode the NovoCon® M is controlled via
fieldbus and the voltage inputs and outputs are available to connect other devices. Alternatively, in
Analog Control mode the NovoCon is expecting an analog control signal.
Selection of AB-QM valve type:
After selecting Application mode (see above), it is then necessary to select the AB-QM valve type
that the actuator is mounted on. This is done with the object MSV:3 / 32802 Selected Valve Type.
The present value of MSV:3 / 32802 may be set to values between 1 and 9. Each number represents a
specific AB-QM valve type, which can be found in the table: Valve type selection. The default value for
MSV:3 / 32802 is 1 i.e. AB-QM ISO DN40 valve.
Selection and setting of engineering units:
If there is a need to change the default engineering units, this is done in BACnet via the object’s
engineering units property or in separate objects, and in Modbus via separate registers. See the
BACnet and Modbus tables for more details.
Setting the Design Flow Rate:
The designed maximum flow rate of the controlled system should be set if the nominal flow of
the valve does not correspond to the designed maximum flow rate. The Design Flow Rate is set by
changing the present value of:
• AV:30 / 32796 Design Flow Rate for Heating applications
• AV:31 / 32798 Design Flow Rate for Cooling applications
Temperature measurements:
AI:1 / 33218 Temperature T1 or resistance input, AI:2 / 33220 Temperature T2 or resistance input
and AI:3 / 33222 Temperature T3 or resistance input are used to measure the temperature with
temperature sensors. The resistance value may also be shown directly if selected, allowing these
inputs to be used for other purposes than measuring temperature e.g. window contacts or other
potential free contacts. Closed circuit <900Ω, open circuit 100kΩ.
Power emission:
AV:32 / 33288 Power emission is used to show the present hydronic power emission of the terminal unit,
based on calculations from water flow rate and the temperature difference between supply and return pipes.
Energy Counter:
Either the Cooling or Heating thermal energy used is counted and logged under AV:33 / 33290 or
AV:34 / 33292. This function is enabled and disabled with MSV:12 / 32814.
Flushing a system:
Actuator Mode and Special Features MSV:0 / 33284 has an option which allows the user to flush the system
via the fieldbus. To start flushing the system, set MSV:0 / 33284 to 3, Flush. The actuator will then open up
the AB-QM valve completely. Flush will end when:
• MSV:0 / 33284 is set back to 1 = Normal operation
• Or the power is cycled.
• Or the flush function times-out after 1 hour.
When flushing ends, the actuator returns to normal operation.
De-Airing of a system:
With MSV:0 / 33284, is it also possible to start the De-Air function in the actuator. This function will
open and close the AB-QM valve a number times, helping getting rid of trapped air in the hydronic
system. Start De-Air by setting MSV:0 / 33284 to 4. De-air will run undisturbed until it ends. The state
of the actuator will then go back to normal operation i.e. MSV:0 / 33284 = 1, Normal.
Controlling the actuator:
Under normal operation (Digital Control) of the actuator, where the flow through the AB-QM valve is
to be controlled, the object Flow Rate Setpoint AV:1 / 33280 is used. The default setting for the Flow
Rate Setpoint engineering unit is %.
This is the most suitable setting as the controller does not need to know anything about the Design
Flow Rate setting of the actuator. The output signal from the controller needs only to be set up so it
regulates from 0 to 100% of the Heating Design Flow Rate AV:30 / 32796 or Cooling Design Flow Rate
AV:31 /32798. Alternative Design Flow Rate AV:0 / 32768 can be used.
To change the flow rate through the valve, the present value of AV:1 / 33280 is written-to, in the range
0 – 100%.
If the engineering unit selected for AV:1 / 33280 must be l/h, the Flow Rate Setpoint through the valve
must be written-to in integers representing l/h. An example of this could be a controller writing values
to the actuator in the range 0 to 7500 l/h for a DN40 valve.
Alarms and warnings:
System issues can be detected by using BACnet object values BV:10 to BV:24 or Modbus register 33536, see
BACnet and Modbus tables for more details.

Reducing Unnecessary PollforMaster Traffic
The MAX_MASTER setting in NovoCon® S can be set above the number of the highest used MAC
address in the MS/TP sub network. The MAX_MASTER property is found in the Device object and has
a default value of 127. If used, it should be noted that the MAX_MASTER property value should be
adjusted accordingly at a later stage prior to adding more devices to the network when the highest
MAC address exceeds the MAX_MASTER property value.
Important: Before MAX_MASTER can be set, ensure ALL network device MAC addresses are below
the intended MAX_MASTER property value. Failure to do this may result in network communication
problems.
Allocating Correct INFO_FRAMES
Setting for Controller:
Network Routers and Controller devices that transport traffic in the MS/TP network require a higher
number of INFO_FRAMES than NovoCon® S. Therefore, these devices should have a higher value than
NovoCon® S. A general rule of thumb for the sub network router’s MAX_INFO_FRAMES property
value is equal to the amount of MS/TP devices in the router’s sub network. The MAX_INFO_FRAMES
property is found in the Device object of MS/TP devices. NovoCon’s default MAX_INFO_FRAMES
value is 1.
General Information - Energy Limitation States:
For all ‘limitation’ states within MSV:13/32815, a warning will be activated and made visible on the
bus to inform the user that NovoCon® has taken control of the flow rate through the AB-QM valve.
Whilst under NovoCon® control, the valve will not be closed at any time i.e. closing % constraints are
contained within its algorithms, although an external device’s control signal will always be able to
close the valve. If the energy limitation settings are unobtainable without NovoCon® closing itself, a
warning will be activated to inform the user that the set-point value is ‘out of range’. Please note that
NovoCon® will not automatically relinquish control of the flow rate as soon as the set-point is achieved
if the external device e.g. DDC differs greatly with that of NovoCon’s® calculated flow rate/opening %.
TIP: This information may be used by the user to improve the external control device’s PID.
General Information - Energy Control States:
For all ‘control’ states, except Power control, within MSV:13/32815, NovoCon® takes full control over the flow
rate through the AB-QM valve and will not accept a control signal from an external device. Whilst under
NovoCon® control, the valve will not be fully closed at any time i.e. closing % constraints are contained
within its algorithms. If the energy control settings are unobtainable without NovoCon® closing or opening
itself fully, a warning will be activated to inform the user that the set-point value is ‘out of range’.
If MSV:13 (energy application) is switched from "not used" to:
- power limitation/control or delta temp. lim./control: T1 function and T2 function are locked to Supply/
return temperature – these cannot be changed until app is disabled.
- return temp. limitation/control: The terminal corresponding to "return temperature function" is locked
and cannot be changed until energy app is disabled.
Power Manager
State 1: Not active
Energy management applications are disabled.
State 2: Power limitation (chilled water example)
NovoCon® S calculates the instantaneous hydronic power used and will then, when required, override
the DDC control signal and limit the flow rate / hydronic power according to the user defined values
in object / register AV:35 or 36 / 32832 or 32834. The hydronic power is limited by closing the valve
until the kW value measured, once again, falls below the defined limit. There are user defined limits
for both Cooling Power and Heating Power. When this limitation is active, the warning object BV:23 /
bit 23 in register 33536 will be set to ‘on’.
Application example: When the “Power” is limited in this way we are able to prevent over
consumption (during peak load) and balance design power distribution.

based on the flowrate and temperature inputs which are used to calculate the power consumption.
Application example: Tempering a space (e.g. in storage hall) where we can set and keep the energy
output constant.

Delta T Manager
State 4: Min. Delta T limitation (heating water example)
NovoCon® S, when required, overrides the DDC control signal and maintains a minimum temperature
difference between the flow and return temperatures by starting to close the valve when the user
defined minimum delta T is not achieved. As the flow temperature increases/decreases, so will the
calculated minimum set-point for the return temperature. This always ensures a minimum energy
transfer to the FCU irrespective of the flow temperature. This state may also be used in CO6 mode and
will apply the appropriate value whilst in cooling/heating mode.
For heating, the delta T value is set in object / register AV:37 / 32836. When conditions allow for this
limitation to be activated, the warning object BV:23 / bit 23 in register 33536 will be set to ‘on’.
Application example: When we would like to improve the efficiency of boiler/chiller we can define the
Minimum Delta T in the system with respect to outside temperatures.

State 6: Return T limitation (chilled water example)
NovoCon® S ensures the min. return temp. which is set in register / object AV:40 / 32842.
This function will mainly be used for a Cooling application where the return temperature is higher than
the flow temperature. NovoCon® S overrides the DDC control signal when activated and maintains a
minimum return temperature by starting to close the valve when the user defined minimum return
temperature is not achieved. When conditions allow for this limitation to be active, the warning object

return temperature by opening and starting to close the valve when the user defined Return T is
exceeded or not achieved. When the flow temperature increases/decreases, the Return T set-point
remains the same. This will ensure a constant return temperature back to the energy source.

or a standalone terminal unit in which the T2 value is used as the temperature set-point to be maintained.

*Energy counting method
MSV: 12 / 32814
State 1: Off
NovoCon® L/XL is not calculating energy.
State 2: On, indicated flow
NovoCon® L/XL is calculating energy based on temperature difference between T1 and T2 and using
indicated flow.
State 3: On, flow sensor on return pipe
NovoCon® L/XL is calculating energy based on temperature difference between T1 and T2 and using
flow from flow sensor installed on return pipe.
State 4: On, flow sensor on supply pipe
NovoCon® L/XL is calculating energy based on temperature difference between T1 and T2 and using
flow from flow sensor installed on supply pipe.
Settings connected to flow sensor (NovoCon S/M/L/XL):
If either T1 or T2 ohmic input terminal is used for flow sensor or disabled:
energy app can't be switched to power lim./control or delta temp. lim./control, but might be switched
to return temp. lim./control.
The former depends whether if the return temperature function is selected on the other terminal,
which is not used for flow sensor connection.
If analog input terminal function is used for flow sensor or disabled, the following application
modes in MSV:9 are not available:
1: Analog control - AI used for control signal
3: CO6 mode - AI used for CO6 status
4: Inverted CO6 mode - AI used for CO6 status
7: Analog CO6 mode - AI used for control signal
8: Inverted analog CO6 mode - AI used for control signal
In other words, the MSV:9 can't be switched to "Analog control" or to the CO6 modes except mode
5&6 (CO6 without alarms).
If MSV:9 application mode is used in "Analog control" or in combination with CO6 except states
5 and 6 (CO6 without alarms):
The AI terminal function is locked to state 2 "Analog input (voltage or current)" and can't be changed.
Data sheet NovoCon® S, M, L and XL Digital actuators
Auto baud rate
NovoCon® should be connected
after, or at the same time as,
other devices. NovoCon® will
then adapt to it's network's
baud rate automatically.
Baud rate MSV:6 / 32804 must be set to 1 (default).
If the NovoCon® observes activity on the bus within 45 seconds after powering up, then it adopts the baud
rate presently used on the network by other BACnet devices. If the actuator does not see activity on the
network within this time, it generates a token and sends the token out at the default baud rate of 38400bps.

Auto MAC Addressing
- BACnet only
MAC address assignment method MSV:5 must be set to 1 (default).
The NovoCon® actuator observes for occupied MAC addresses on the sub-network and then
automatically assigns an available MAC address to the actuator only on first Power up. Assuming the
address has not already been manually selected by DIP Switches. If a MAC address collision arises an
Auto MAC addressing is enabled. This function will start the search for an available MAC address again.
When an available MAC address is found, an “I-Am” notification will be sent out via BACnet.
Please note that consecutive MAC addresses may not always be assigned.

Selec tion between D irect and Invers e operation mo de. See Direct /Inverse diagr am.
For the sta tes Analog CO6 mode a nd Inverted Anal og CO6 mode this obje ct is used to switch t he
control signal.
By acti vating this featur e, the analog outpu t signal (AO:0) and th e position of the val ve opening
become l inked. The volta ge output type a nd range is linked to t he MSV:1 present value. T his
feature ma y be used for FCU fan con trol for example a nd is only made avail able when MSV:9
Applica tion Mode are in Stat e 1: Anal og control or State 2: D igital control.
If BV:3 is ac tive and the analog o utput signal (AO:0 ) is written to manua lly it must be relin quished
i.e. write “ NULL” to return to the origi nal setting of BV:3 .
Confli ct between th e Mechanical AB -QM valve sett ing and the NovoCon®. The m echanical valv e
settin g must be 100% or above . The warning will a lso be activate d if the Selecte d Valve Type has
diffe rent stroke than the a ctually valve us ed validated dur ing calibratio n.
Voltage of p ower supply is meas ured to be too high.
When the m easured voltage e xceeds 43.4V the alar m will be turned ON f or too high voltag e.
When the m easured voltage i s once more below 38 .3V, the alarm will be tu rned OFF.
Voltage of p ower supply is meas ured to be too low.
If voltag e drops below 14.5V (N ovoCon S) or 19.0 (NovoCon M/ L/XL), alarm is ac tivated.
If voltag e drops below 14.0V (Nov oCon S) or 13.0 (NovoCon M/L /XL), alarm is ac tivated and moto r
disabled.
If voltag e goes above 15.5V (Novo Con S) or 18.2V (NovoCon M /L/XL), alarm d eactivates and m otor
is enabled.
There was a n error during cal ibration of the ac tuator. E.g. the Novo Con® actuator is not m ounted
on the valv e or the valve is stuck .
ChangeOver6 actuato r is in manual overri de or is unable to reach p osition.
When the re ason for the alarm i s removed it may take up to 2 m inutes before th e alarm is cleared.

NC:0 is an obj ect where other BACnet devi ces can subscribe to be informed di rectly from this device if an al arm or warning is activated or
cleared. A ma ximum of 4 devices can subscribe to t his service. Subscriber s of this object will be info rmed if any of the Warning or Alarms
BV:10 to BV:24 is activated o r cleared.
When the notif ication class NC:0 is going to b e used to notify about cha nges with status of Warnings and Alar ms (BV:10 – BV24), is it
necessary to su bscribe for notifications f or the entire day and week: From 0 0:00:00:0 0 to 23:59:59:99 and all 7 d ays of the week. This is
because the ac tuator does not have a clock bu ilt in and will therefore not b e able to handle notificat ions with respect to time.

A zero Flow Rate Setpo int command (33280) closes the AB-QM , so that there is neither heati ng nor cooling, do not use the CO6 mai ntenance shut-off func tion for this purpose.
The CO6 val ve shut-off fu nction shoul d only be used for m aintenance a nd only when the w ater tempera ture in termin al unit is equal t o ambient temp erature or
the term inal unit is not m ounted. A wate r temperatur e change insid e of a closed coi l could result i n rising press ure and possi ble damage of to t he terminal un it.

Temperature sensors
NovoCon® S
Functional description
The sensor unit consists of a platinum
element, the resistance value of wich, changes
proportionally with the temperature.
Pt 1000 ohm sensor (1000 ohm at 0°C).
The sensor is adjusted and meets the tolerance
requirements of EN 60751 Class B.
The accuracy of temperature measurement is
approximately 0.5° in typical operating range.
It is unlikely, that during calculation of ∆T,
deviation of both sensors would be summed up.
Therefore, it is estimated that ∆T measurement
accuracy is 0.5° when the sensors are mounted
correctly.
It is not recommended to use longer wires on
temperature sensors than 3m due to risk of
electromagnetic interference. If long or thin wires
are used it may be necessary to make an offset of
the temperature reading in the BMS system.

Trouble shooting
BACnet Fieldbus check:
It is possible to check the fieldbus state by examining error messaging related to the actuator in order
to verify communication and detect early potential fieldbus related problems. This is done by the
object values AV:15 to AV:19.
Quality of the BACnet network:
An important thing for good operation of the actuator is a well functioning network. Some values
that tell you about the quality of the network can be found in the objects AV:15 to AV:19. The most
important values are AV:17 Server Error Count and AV:19 Server Timeout Error. These two values
should be much lower than AV:15, AV:16 and AV:18. As a general rule, it is important that AV:17 and
AV:19 are not constantly increasing their count.
Quality of power supply:
The object / register AV:6 / 33794 may be used to check if the power supply and cabling, used to
supply the actuator with power, is according to specification requirements. The present value of
AV:6 / 33794 represents the current voltage measured inside the actuator. This is the voltage that the
actuator monitors at all times and subsequently reacts on if outside the recommended range. See in
the table below how the actuator reacts at different voltage levels.
Voltage (Pr esent value of AV:6 / 33794
Voltage below 14.5V (NovoCon S) or
19.0 (NovoCon M/L/XL)
Voltage below 16.1V 14.0V (NovoCon S) or
13.0 (NovoCon M/L/XL)
When voltage rises above 15.5V(NovoCon
S) or 18.2V (NovoCon M/L/ XL) again
When voltage rises above 43.4V
When voltage drops below 38.3V again
Reaction
Start alarm indication with LED. Initiate and alarm BV: 15 / 33536 Bit 19 and that
the supply voltage is too low.
Motor is stopped. The LEDs indicating alarm and actuator still initiating alarm
BV:15 / 33535 Bit 19 if the voltage hasn't dropped too low.
Motor can run again. LED alarm indication stops and returns to normal operation.
Alarm BV:15 / 33536 Bit 19 returns to normal operation.
Start alarm indication with LED. Initiate an alarm BV:14 / 33536 Bit 18.
LED alarm indication stops and returns to normal operation. Alarm BV:14 / 33536
Bit 18 returns to normal operation.
NB: the voltage level will be constantly changing depending on the operational activity of the entire
group of actuators and other devices connected. The supply voltage will go up and down in value if:
- Power supply is not strong and stable
- If long cables are used in a daisy chain setup
A higher number of actuators running at the same time will reduce the supply voltage (for the last
devices on a daisy chain cable, in particular).
The actuator’s voltages are considered to be OK when all values of AV:6 / 33794 are above 18V, when
all actuators are moving the motor/running. To ensure voltage in each device is OK under worst case
operational conditions, the following is recommended:
- Run all the actuators on the daisy chain cable at the same time. While all are running, check each
value of AV:6 / 32794. These values should still be above 18V and no previously mentioned voltage
level alarms should be initiated or indicated. If LEDs indicate an alarm state or a BACnet/Modbus
alarm is initiated, or a value less than 18V is observed, then cabling should be reviewed.
- Check the values of AVO:0. This BACnet object holds 3 values: Average measured voltage,
Maximum measured voltage and Minimum measured voltage. The most important value here is
the Minimum measured voltage. It can tell you the lowest voltage that has been measured during
operation of the actuator.
