MODGAS-XWR Technical Guide
OVERVIEW
General Information
Overview
The OE377-26-00060 MODGAS-XWR Controller (AAON Part No.
V20780) is designed to modulate up to two (2) gas valves to maintain
a desired Discharge Air Temperature. The MODGAS-XWR Controller also controls the speed of the induced draft fan to maintain proper
combustion in the heat exchanger. See Figure 1.
The controller can be used as a stand-alone unit or be connected to
a VCM-X E-BUS Controller (OE332-23E-VCMX; AAON Part No.
V07150), VCB-X Controller (OE335-26B-VCBX; AAON Part No.
V28940), VCC-X Controller (OE338-26B-VCCX; AAON Part No.
V42430), or 12 Relay E-BUS Expansion Module (OE358-23E-12R;
AAON Part No. R69180) using a modular cable.
The MODGAS-XWR Controller can be confi gured at the factory for one
(1) modulating valve, two (2) staged modulating valves, or one (1) modulating with multiple fi xed staged valves (stand-alone operation only).
When using the MODGAS-XWR Controller to replace an existing
MODGAS II Controller, see Appendix B, page 27 for details.
MODGAS-XWR CONTROLLER
(OE377-26-00060)
Features
The MODGAS-XWR Controller provides the following:
• Can control two (2) Gas Valves using input from
Proof of Ignition Modules
• Up to four (4) MODGAS-XWR Modules can be daisychained together to control up to eight (8) Modulation Gas
Valves
• Monitors Supply Air Temperature and Supply Air Reset
and modulates gas valves to maintain Setpoint
• Provides active relays to control the Fan and
Heat Stages
• Contains a 2 x 8 LCD character display and 4 buttons
that allow for status display, setpoint changes, and
confi guration changes
NOTE: The MODGAS-XWR Controller contains no user-
serviceable parts. Contact qualifi ed technical personnel
if your MODGAS-XWR Controller is not operating
correctly.

Important Wiring Considerations
Important Wiring Considerations
Please read carefully and apply the following information when wiring the
MODGAS-XWR Controller. The MODGAS-XWR Controller
requires the following electrical connections:
1. 18 gauge minimum wire unless otherwise noted
24 VAC power connection with an appropriate VA rating
2.
3. Supply Air Temperature Sensor and Heat Enable must have
24 gauge minimum wire
4. All 24 VAC wiring must be connected so that all ground
wires remain common. Failure to follow this procedure can
result in damage to the module and connected devices
5. All wiring is to be in accordance with local and
national electrical codes and specifi cations
6. Check all wiring leads at the terminal block for tightness.
Be sure that wire strands do not stick out and touch
adjacent terminals. Confi rm that all transducers required for
your system are mounted in the appropriate location and
wired into the correct terminals
WARNING: Do Not Connect Power To VOUT/Ground
Terminal Block!
WARNING: Observe polarity! All boards must be wired
GND-to-GND and 24 VAC-to-VAC. Failure
to observe polarity could result in damage to
the board.

WIRING

One Modulating Valve with 1 Fixed
Stage or Two Modulating Valves Stand-Alone Wiring, Continued
If communication is lost to the 12-Relay E-BUS Expansion Module,
the 12-Relay E-BUS Expansion Module will turn off its relays and the
MODGAS-XWR Controller will alarm and fall back to using only its
onboard stages. If communications is restored, the MODGAS-XWR
Controller will begin staging up if needed.
The 12-Relay E-BUS Expansion Module is only used with Single
Modulating Valve One Fixed Stage Stand-Alone (Figure 3, page 6) or
Two Modulating V alves Stand-Alone (Figur e 4, page 7) confi gurations.
See Figure 5, below.
WARNING!!
Observe Polarity! All boards must be wired with GND-to-GND and 24VAC-to-24VAC. Failure to observe polarity will result in damage to
one or more of the boards. Expansion Modules must be wired in such a way that the expansion modules and the controller are always
powered together. Loss of power to the expansion module will cause the controller to become inoperative until power is restored to the
expansion module.
12-Relay E-BUS
Note:
All Relay Outputs Are Normally Open
And Rated For 24 VAC Power Only.
1 Amp Maximum Load.
