The following table describes the attributes used by the Start Stop Sequencing (AHU 100% OA) modules.
Name |
Description |
Default Value |
---|---|---|
Cooling Required |
Indicates cooling demand. When this input is True, the Start/Stop module initiates a start up sequence. |
False |
Duct Static Pressure |
Contains the value of the duct static pressure used by this module and passed to the Supply Fan Output controller. |
Display Units: Pa, in. W.C. |
Duct Static Pressure 1 |
Contains the supply air duct static pressure. The unit may have two pressure sensors. When the application has one pressure sensor, it must be connected to both Duct Static Pressure 1 and Duct Static Pressure 2. |
0 Pa, 0.00 in. W.C. |
Duct Static Pressure 2 |
Contains the supply air duct static pressure. The unit may have two pressure sensors. When the application has one pressure sensor, it must be connected to both Duct Static Pressure 1 and Duct Static Pressure 2. |
0 Pa, 0.00 in. W.C. |
Duct Static Pressure Setpoint |
Contains the supply air static pressure setpoint. This input is used to trigger a state change if the supply fan type is variable speed and static pressure control is used. |
250 Pa, 1.00 in. W.C. |
Fan Ready |
Indicates that the Start/Stop sequencer has reached the On State. The temperature control sequencers (such as the 100OA SD Sequencer or the 100OA CD Sequencer) use this information to allow DAT temperature sequencing. |
|
Fan Start Delay |
Contains the time delay provided from the time between issuing the start commands (supply and exhaust fans simultaneously) to expecting the fans to have started. This delay includes the time for the 2-position damper for each fan to open (that is, it assumes the damper is hard-wired with the fan starter). |
90 Seconds |
Fan Stop Delay |
Time delay allocated to stopping the fans and closing the dampers. It also enforces a minimum time off before restarting. |
240 Seconds |
Heating Ramp Rate |
Used to determine the time to remain in the Cold Start state (if applicable). During the Cold Start state, the preheat output is prevented from closing quickly allowing it to come into control without tripping the Low Limit on the unit. |
20 Change per Minute |
Heating Required |
Indicates heating demand. When this input is True, the Start/Stop module initiates a startup sequence. |
False |
Low Limit Setpoint |
Setpoint that determines whether Cold Start is necessary. When the OA Temperature is below this setpoint or is not reliable, the Cold Start mode is activated during Startup. |
7 °C, 45 °F |
OA Temperature |
Contains the outdoor air temperature. |
13 °C, 55 °F |
Proof of Airflow |
Shows the current airflow status. The output may be either True, False, or Fault. True means the fan was commanded on and airflow has been detected. False means the fan was not commanded on. Fault means the fan was commanded on, but airflow proof has not been detected. This input is used to restart the supply fan after a fan status fault. |
True Set Name: False/True/Fault |
Stabilize Delay |
Time allocated for the OA Temperature sensor to accurately reflect the outside conditions. It is only applicable for constant capacity units as it is assumed that the time required for ramping the variable capacity supply fan to the static pressure setpoint is sufficient for the sensor to stabilize. |
180 Seconds |
STARTSTOP-STATE (State) |
Current state of the finite state machine. This output is connected to the state selection matrix. |
Set Name: AHU 100 OA StartStop States |
Supply Fan OnOff |
Contains the control signal for the supply fan. The enumeration set only has two values, Off and On. The command signature of this input indicates if the supply fan is responding to this sequencer. |
Off Set Name: Off/On |
Supply Fan Percent Cmd |
Current value of the supply fan output. |
0% |
Supply Fan Type |
Indicates the air handler supply fan type. The module supports two supply fan types, variable capacity, and constant capacity. |
Variable Capacity Set Name: AHU Supply Fan Type |
