1.6 Target audience, prerequisites
This document assumes that users of the RXL controllers are familiar with the tools
Synco ACS and able to use them.
For details concerning the Konnex bus see document CE1N3127.
1.7 Bus supply for RXL controllers
RXL controllers can work without bus supply if the following conditions are adhered to:
 Parameterize only using the HandyTool (not with ACS).
 No integration in a building automation and control system (e.g. DESIGO, Synco).
 No changeover mode (sensor signal via bus).
 No master/slave combinations.
Otherwise, the bus, used by the RXL room controller for communication, requires a bus
supply.
Each controller consumes 5 mA. The supply has to be selected according to the
number of controllers. We recommend the following products:
Manufacturer Type Designation

Siemens Building Technologies ACX95.320/ALG Power supply 320 mA
Siemens Automation and Drives 5WG1 125-1AB01 Power supply 160 mA

5WG1 125-1AB11 Power supply 320 mA
5WG1 125-1AB21 Power supply 640 mA
1.8 RXL controller communications
RXL controllers support proprietary TP1 communication.
1.9 Integration of the RXL controllers into

DESIGO
The RXL controllers are integrated into DESIGO using a proprietary Individual
addressing procedure.
See CM1Y9776, RXB / RXL Integration – Individual Addressing.
1.10 Use of the RXL controllers with Synco
The RXL controllers can be used in conjunction with Synco. The interface is designed
to communicate with Synco 700 controllers.

2 Definitions / Tools
2.1 Signals and parameters (presentation)
The inputs, outputs and parameters of an application can be influenced in various

ways. These are identified by the following symbols in this description of functions:
Room unit Parameters identified by this symbol are influenced by the room unit.
ACS Service Parameters identified by this symbol are set with the ACS Service tool.
HandyTool Parameters identified by this symbol are set with the HandyTool tool.
The left margin contains the symbol for the HandyTool next to a table containing the
parameter number, short name and basic setting.
The number has syntax *xxx, with xxx being a three-digit number.
HandyTool Parameter Short name Basic setting

*027 Setpoint additional heating 25.0°C
Note A list of the parameters by number and in alphabetical order is located in sections 13.5
and 13.6.
A table of parameters with enumerations fort he HandyTool is shown in Section 13.7.
2.2 Supported tools
The RXL controllers can be commissioned either with the Synco ACS Service too or
the HandyTool.
STOP Note!  Be careful when using different tools. The following rule applies:
Last one's right!
 If you use OCI700 as an interface, it is connected to the service plug of the controller
or of the room unit.
As long as the OCI700 is connected to the service plug, it must be supplied by
the computer via the USB interface. Otherwise the LCD display of the room unit
will turn dark and the controller will switch to addressing mode.

3.1 Zone addressing for Synco
This section applies only toSynco.
In cases where RXL controllers are used in conjunction with Synco, zone addresses
need to be allocated. These must be defined together with the Synco devices at the
planning stage.
The zones to be defined are as follows:
Geographical zone Zone in which an RXL controller is physically located.

(Apartment . Room Subzone) Other room-specific devices may also be located in this
Apartment = ---, 1...126
Room = ---, 0...63
zone.
Subzone =---, 0...15
The designations "Apartment, Room and Subzone do
not need to be taken literally. For example, Apartment
can be used to refer to a group of rooms, floor or
section of a building.
"Room", however, really does refer to a room.
Subzone is unlikely to be used much for HVAC devices
– it is more relevant to other disciplines, such as lighting
(keep the setting 1).
Timeswitch zone This zone has the same structure as the geographical
(Apartment . Room Subzone)
zone. It indicates the source of the time schedule for
Apartment = ---, 1...126 the RXL controllers.
Room = ---, 0...63 The same zone must also contain a device (e.g. a
Subzone =---, 0...15
Synco RMx7xx or RMB795) to deliver the time
schedule.
In a Synco network, "Room" and "Subzone" must

always be set to 1.

Legend D = device address, G = geographical zone (Apartment.Room.Subzone)
Definition of The combination of several groups to 1 room group is made on the bus by addressing
room group the "Geographical zone". This address consists of 3 components:
Geographical zone: Apartment.Room.Subzone (e.g. 2.1.1)
Important A geographical zone must be assigned to:

– Each RXL room controller
– Each room group in the RMB795 central control unit
All devices which, together, shall form one room group must be assigned the same
apartment number.
20/114
Settings on the On the RMB795 central control unit, only the room group, that is, the "Geographical
central control unit zone (apartment)" can be set.
The room and the subzone use a fixed assignment (Room = 1, Subzone = 1).
This means that for setting a room group on the central control unit, following applies:
Room group = geographical zone (apartment.1.1).
Settings on the The RXL room controllers offer the following setting choices:
room controllers – Geographical zone (apartment)
– Geographical zone (room)
– Geographical zone (subzone)
On HVAC applications using RXL… room controllers, it is only the "Geographical zone
(apartment)" and the "Geographical zone (room)" that should be used.
Extension of addressing by the “Geographical zone (room) " leads to room control with
RXL room controllers. This offers individual operational interventions (from an operator
unit or the central control unit via bus), such as room setpoint readjustments from any
of the rooms or devices.
Significance of subzone The "Geographical zone (room)“ can be subdivided; for that, the RXL room controller
offers the "Geographical zone (subzone).
This subzone could be for use in plant where lighting conditions shall be taken into
consideration if, for example, a "Geographical zone (room)" shall be divided into the 2
subzones “Lighting window side” and “Lighting corridor side”.
For HVAC applications, the preset subzone = 1 should be left unchanged.
Significance of suffixes Suffixes (apartment), (room) and (subzone) are pre-defined, whereby (apartment) has
nothing to do with a living space or an apartment in the proper sense.
The device address Each bus user requires an individual device address – on the floor plan of the
preceding page shown as D:11x.
The device addresses in our example were assigned in accordance with the bus’
topology.

5 Room operating modes
5.1 Description
The room operating modes available with DESIGO RXL are Comfort, Precomfort,
Economy and Protection. In addition, there is a frost protection limit, at which, for
example, an alarm can be triggered. Each room operating mode has separately
adjustable heating and cooling setpoints.

Y Output signal (valve or damper actuator)

TR Room temperature
Comfort Comfort is the room operating mode in an occupied room. In this mode, the room
temperature is within the comfort range. The room controller operates in the heating or
cooling sequence with the resulting Comfort setpoints.
Precomfort In Precomfort mode (in a vacant room), the controller operates with setpoints slightly
below the Comfort setpoint in heating mode, and slightly above the Comfort setpoint in
cooling mode.
Economy In rooms that are unoccupied for any significant length of time (e.g. night setback based
on a time scheduler, see pages 28, 37), the supply of energy to the room can be
reduced substantially. In Economy mode, the controller operates with a setpoint slightly
below the Precomfort setpoint in heating mode, and slightly above the Precomfort
setpoint in cooling mode.
Protection If the building is unoccupied over a long period of time (e.g. holidays) the temperature
setpoints can be reduced (or, in the case of cooling, raised) so that only sufficient
heating or cooling energy is provided to protect the building fabric and its contents.
Frost limit If the room temperature or return air temperature falls below the Frost limit, an alarm is
initiated for further processing in the building automation and control system.
The room controller will continue to operate at the relevant setpoint (e.g. Protection,
Economy, etc.).
The alarm threshold in the controller is a fixed 5°C. In the case of applications
incorporating an outside air damper, the value can be preset in the range 2 … 10°C.

5.3 Determining the room operating mode
in DESIGO
The effective room operating mode of the room controller depends on the central Use
and Occupancy time schedules and/or on local influences such as window contacts,
presence detectors or a room unit.
The diagram below shows the priority of these influences and how they are processed
by the room controller:

STOP Note!  The effects of Priority 1 and Priority 2 are similar in nature to continuous states
 The Priority 3 influences are treated as events.
The key factor is the moment at which the state changes (trigger edge).
If the mode is later changed by another source of priority 3, the last change
applies.
27/114
5.3.1 Local control of room operating mode via
a window contact
Central Local
Controller Whenever a window is opened, the room controller
Prio
DI 1.
always switches to the Protection room operating
mode, i.e. the heating or cooling output is reduced to a
2. minimum. If a window is opened outside the "building-
in-use" period it is also possible, for example, to
3. arrange for this to trip an alarm in the building
automation and control system.
DI
PPS2 3.
Effective The table below shows the effective room operating mode as a function of the Window
room operating mode contact input.
Status of window Effective room operating mode

contact
Window closed No effect.
Operating mode is determined by inputs with a lower priority
Window open Protection mode
The window contact is connected directly to a digital input on the room controller (see
page 86).
Note Master/slave applications:

Window contacts that are connected to slave controllers can NOT be taken into
account
5.3.2 Central control of room operating mode via input from

the Use time schedule
This time schedule determines the overall period of

Central Local
Controller time for which the entire building is in use. Typically,
Prio
DI 1.
this schedule is used for night setback throughout
the building, or for longer periods when the building
2. is not in use.
Outside the “building-in-use” times, inputs from

3.
3rd priority sources are disabled. This prevents
demand signals from being sent to the primary plant
DI
when, for example, a security guard enters a room.

Effective The table below shows the three possible occupancy states and the resulting effective
room operating mode room operating mode.
Switch state Description Effective room op. mode

Building in use  Full availability of all plant As defined by Occupancy
 Building enabled for use time schedule, presence
 Inputs of priority 3 are enabled (Occupancy time detector or room unit

Temporary Comfort mode)
Building not in use  Reduced availability of plant Economy
 Inputs of priority 3 are disabled (Occupancy time
 Application:

5.3.3 Central and local control of room operating mode

based on occupancy
Central Local
Controller The effective occupancy is determined by the
Prio
DI 1.
Occupancy time schedule and the presence
detector.
2. It controls the room operating mode of a room
controller throughout the period when the building is
3. in use.
DI
PPS2 3.
Occupancy The central time schedule transmits the anticipated occupancy of a room or group of
time schedule rooms. It controls the room operating mode of a room controller throughout the period
when the building is in use. Outside the building-in-use period, the time schedule is
disabled.
The time schedule can be used, for example, by a building tenant to specify the
occupancy times applicable to that tenant’s own rooms.
29/114
The Occupancy scheduler has three possible states:
State Description
Occupied  Occupants expected
 The room controller switches to Comfort
Standby  Occupancy is probable; the room must be ready for use shortly
(Comfort temperature)
 The room controller switches to Precomfort
Unoccupied  No occupants expected
 The room controller switches to Economy
Presence detector A presence detector detects the presence of people in a room.
It controls the room operating mode of a room controller throughout the period when
the building is in use. Outside the building-in-use period, it is disabled.
The presence detector has two possible states:
State Description
Occupied  The room is occupied
 The room controller switches to Comfort
Unoccupied  The room is not occupied
 The room controller switches to Economy or Precomfort.
Note Master/slave applications:

Presence detectors connected to the slave controllers are NOT taken into account.
Effective occupancy The table below shows Effective occupancy as a function of the Occupancy time
schedule and the presence detector.
Principle: "Occupied" takes precedence over “Unoccupied“. If either the time schedule
or the presence detector transmits Occupied then the room is Occupied.
Presence detector Occupancy time schedule Effective occupancy

No presence detector No time schedule Occupied

30/114
Effective  The effective room operating mode can be changed by the effective occupancy only
room operating mode during the building-in-use period (defined by the Use time schedule)
 The change in the effective room operating mode is event-driven, the key factor
being the moment at which the effective occupancy changes.
 The room unit or Temporary Comfort mode (both Priority 3) can cause the effective
room operating mode to change again  the last command always applies.

5.3.6 DESIGO examples
The following are examples of two typical applications of time schedules in conjunction
with local control of the room operating mode.
Example 1 Rooms with neither a room unit nor a presence detector
The operating mode of Rooms 1 … 3 in a building is determined by the two time

schedules Building use and Room occupancy. Window contacts are fitted in all rooms.
The following conditions are specified:

 Overall, the building is in use from 06.00 to 22.00 (Building use time schedule).
Outside this period the opening of a window will trip an alarm (2).
 Rooms 1…3 are used by the same tenant and controlled by the same Occupancy
time schedule. Night mode is to operate from 17.00 to 08.00 (Unoccupied) and the
lunch break is from 12.00 to 13.00 (Standby).
 In Room 3 the window is opened briefly, once in the morning and once at night (1).

Example 2 Rooms with a room unit ( /Auto button) or presence detector
The operating mode in Rooms 1 and 2 of a building is determined centrally by the Use
and Occupancy time schedules. The Occupancy time schedule defines the period
during which both rooms are required to be available (Standby).
Comfort mode is then initiated locally via the room unit (Room 1) or presence detector
(Room 2).
33/114
 Overall, the building is in use from 06.00 to 22.00 (Building use time schedule).
 Rooms 1 and 2 must be available from 08.00 to 18.00 (Occupancy time schedule:
Standby)
 The occupants of Room 1 continue working in the evening beyond the programmed
occupancy period. At the end of the programmed period of occupancy, the room
operating mode changes to Economy, even if the room unit is set to Auto (1).
Comfort mode can now be re-activated with the Auto switch on the room unit (2).
Comfort remains active for the pre-defined Temporary Comfort period (see page 86).
However, at the end of the "building-in-use" period the Temporary Comfort period is
also overridden and the room operating mode reverts to Economy mode (3).
 In Room 2, in the evening, there are still people in the room beyond the "building-in-

5.4.6 Synco Examples
The following examples show two typical applications of the time schedule in
conjunction with local control of the room operating mode.
Example 1 Rooms with neither a room unit nor a presence detector
The room operating mode in Rooms 1 … 3 of a building is determined by the

Room operating mode time schedule. Window contacts are fitted in all rooms.
 Overall, the building is in use from 06.00 to 20.00.

 The rooms are used and controlled by the Room operating mode time schedule as
follows:
– Night setback from 17.00 to 08.00,
– Protection from 20.00 to 06.00
– Lunch break from 12.00 to 13.00 (Precomfort)
 In Room 3 the window is opened briefly, once in the morning and once at night (1).

Example 2 Rooms with a room unit ( /Auto button) or presence detector
The room operating mode in Rooms 1 and 2 of a building is determined centrally by the
Room operating mode time schedule.
Comfort mode is then initiated locally via the room unit (Room 1) or presence detector
(Room 2).

 Overall, the building is in use from 06.00 to 20.00
(Protection mode from 20.00 to 06.00 hours).
 Rooms 1 and 2 must be available from 08.00 to 18.00 hours (Precomfort)
40/114
 The occupant(s) of Room 1 are working overtime. At 18.00 hours the room operating
mode changes to Economy, even if the room unit is set to Auto (1).
Comfort mode can now be re-activated with the Auto switch on the room unit (2).
Comfort remains active for the pre-defined Temporary Comfort mode period (see
page 86).
In Protection mode however, the Temporary Comfort period is also overridden and
the room operating mode changes to Protection (3).
 In Room 2, in the evening, there are still people in the room beyond the "building-in-
use" period (4). However, at the end of the building-in-use period the room operating
mode still changes to Protection. An alarm can also be tripped, if required.

5.5.4 Stand-alone Example
The example below shows how local influences interact to affect the room operating
mode.
 Window contacts are fitted in all rooms.

When the window is opened (1), the room operating mode changes to Protection,
and the room unit is switched to .
 Room 1 has a room unit.

As no presence detector is connected, the basic room operation mode is Precomfort;
therefore, the timer (Temporary Comfort period: see page 86) is not available.
The room unit can be used to switch the room operating mode between Comfort and
Precomfort (2).
 Room 2 has a presence detector and a room unit..

If the room is unoccupied, the basic room operation mode is Economy. If it changes
to occupied, the room operating mode becomes Comfort (3), and the room unit is
switched to Auto.
The room unit can be used to switch between Comfort and Precomfort (2).
 Room 3: In order to force the basic room operation mode to be Economy, one of the
open Digital inputs is parameterized as Occupied = Contact closed (see page 86),
thus simulating a presence detector in state "unoccupied.
Starting from Economy, the timer (Temporary Comfort period: see page 86) is
available.
The room has a room unit with the timer enabled. It can be used to set the room
operating mode to Comfort (2). It reverts to Economy when the window is opened,
(3) when the timer period expires (4), or when the /Auto switch is pressed again
(5).

6 Setpoint calculation
6.1 Description
 Each room controller has 9 different room temperature setpoints:

One heating and cooling setpoint for the room operating modes Comfort, Precomfort,
Economy and Protection as well as a Frost limit value.
 The setpoints
– are defined in the tool during engineering.
– runtime-adjusted by the communication objects (DESIGO, Synco)
This does not apply to the Protection setpoints and the frost setpoint (page 25).
 The setpoints are shifted

– Centrally via bus from the building automation and control system
(only Comfort, Precomfort and Economy).
– Locally via PPS2 by a room unit or a setpoint adjustment unit
(only Comfort and Precomfort).
– The controller controls the values internally to ensure that sensible periods are
adhered to between the various room operating modes.
 The result is 8 present setpoints.
 The effective room operating mode selects one setpoint each for heating and
cooling from the 8 setpoints.
These are the effective setpoints to which the controller executes control.

6.2 Setting the setpoints with the tool
A tool is used to set the temperature setpoints for the various room operating modes in
each room controller.
ACS Service The setpoints can be modified under Room temp setpoints:
Setpoints Name Basic setting Range Resolution Parameter

Protection cooling setpoint 40 °C 10 ... 40 °C 0.5 K *030
Economy cooling setpoint 35 °C 10 ... 40 °C 0.5 K *031
Precomfort cooling setpoint 28 °C 10 ... 40 °C 0.5 K *032
Comfort cooling setpoint 24 °C 10 ... 40 °C 0.5 K *033
Comfort heating setpoint 21 °C 10 ... 40 °C 0.5 K *034
Precomfort heating setpoint 19 °C 10 ... 40 °C 0.5 K *035
Economy heating setpoint 15 °C 10 ... 40 °C 0.5 K *036
Protection heating setpoint 12 °C 10 ... 40 °C 0.5 K *037
Frost protection limit value *) 5 °C 2 ... 10 °C *) 0.5 K *040
1) ACS checks the values / ranges for intersection.

There is no check in the HandyTool.
2) The Frost protection limit can only be changed in applications with an outside air
damper. In the other applications it is fixed at 5°C.
48/114
HandyTool: If setpoints are irrelevant for the application (e.g. heating setpoints for
chilled ceiling), they are hidden, and they are set equal to the Protection setpoints
internally.
6.3 Setpoint adjustment runtime
If a DESIGO RXL controller is integrated into a DESIGO system or operated in con-

junction with a Synco plant, the central operator station can adjust the setpoints.
STOP Note! The setpoints are stored in the EEPROM so that they are retained when the controller
is reset. If a value different from a previous value is received on the communication
EEPROM service
objects setpoints for heating and setpoints for cooling, a write process is triggered
life
in the EEPROM.
 The service life of the EEPROM depends on the number of Write cycles.
STOP Note! Setpoints that have been changed by a tool (e.g. HandyTool) are overwritten by
PX-KNX during start-up of the room controller!
6.4 Central setpoint shift
Management station The Comfort, Economy and Precomfort setpoints can be adjusted centrally for heating
and cooling via the building automation and control system.
Summer/winter Central setpoint shifts in particular are used for summer/winter compensation, for
compensation example. The summer/winter compensation feature causes a gradual increase in room
temperature as a function of the outdoor temperature. This prevents too great a
difference between the indoor and outdoor temperature in summer and increases
overall comfort in winter.
Normally, only Comfort and Precomfort values are shifted.
Internal correction by The room controller corrects the setpoints resulting from central shift by applying the
controller following rules
 Comfort setpoints:
The value for the spacing must not be below the original value A .
 Precomfort setpoints:
The value for the spacing to Comfort setpoints must not be below the original values
B .

6.5 Local setpoint shift
If setpoints are shifted locally and corrected by the controller, local shift is applied.
Two methods are available for local setpoint shift:

– Using a series QAX... room unit (local PPS bus) providing a rotary button or rocker
switch to adjust the room temperature setpoint
– or via bus.
If multiple sources command local setpoint shift, "last one wins" applies.
Function  Comfort:
– The Comfort setpoints for heating and cooling are shifted in parallel A .
– The original spacing heating – cooling is maintained.
Internal correction by The room controller corrects the setpoints as follows following a local shift:
controller  Precomfort::
– The values are shifted in parallel to the Comfort values B .
– The cooling setpoint cannot be lowered following central shift C .
– The heating setpoint cannot be increased following central shift C .
 Economy:
– The cooling setpoint cannot be lowered following central shift C .
– The heating setpoint cannot be increased following central shift C .
– The value is shifted together with the Precomfort value D .
 Protection:
– Protection values are absolute E .
– A minimum spacing between Comfort heating and Comfort cooling of 0.5 K is
maintained F .

7 Temperature measurement
7.1 Room temperature measurement
Sources The value valid for temperature control can originate in various sources:
– A room unit via PPS2 7.1.1
– An analog sensor via B1 7.1.2
– Mean value of several sensors 7.1.3
Invalid temperature If none of these sources supplies a valid room temperature, the following will happen:
 the controller uses the mean value from the effective heating and cooling setpoints
for control until a valid measured value is again received
 the controller issues an alarm "Room temp. sensor error"
 if slaves are connected, they receive an invalid temperatur (327.67°C)
 if a room unit is connected to a slave, the slave uses the temperature value of its
room unit when two heartbeat periods have elapsed.
7.1.1 Local temperature sensor at PPS2 interface
If a QAX … room unit (with a PPS2

interface) is connected to the controller, the
QAX3... PPS2 (CP+, CP-) room temperature is measured by the
temperature sensor built into the room unit.

7.1.3 Averaging analog input & PPS2 interface
In large spaces it can be useful to measure the room temperature in two locations and
to determine an average value. If both a QAX3… room unit and a QAA24 LG-Ni1000
sensor are connected to a controller, the measured room temperature is automatically
based on the average value from both sensors. The automatic detection feature
prevents miscalculation.
A QAX34 / QAX84 will display this average value.

The average value is calculated from the two sensor readings.
Notes In order to determine the average value, the sensor must be configured as a room

Return air temperature In fan coils with a return air sensor (at B1), the controller must be configured
accordingly (see page 80).
– The temperature sensor in the room unit is ignored in this process (the signal is not
averaged).
– A QAX34.1 room unit displays the value of B1.
7.1.4 Sensor correction
The value of the local sensors (PPS2 and B1) can be corrected in the tools
(see page 94).
7.2 Outside air temperature via bus

(FNC10, FNC12, FNC18)
For the FNC10, FNC12, and FNC18 applications, the outside air temperature must be
available as a bus information.
In the case of an integration into DESIGO, it is provided by the integration station.
In conjunction with Synco, the outside air temperature is sent in a special zone.

Actuator type Different applications support different valve actuators, and these do not all require the

the selected application. The valve type must be selected at the engineering stage (see
page 58).
Changeover Changeover is only possible if the control sequence parameter is set to changeover.
In this case, a changeover command (heating or cooling) is essential. In the absence of
the required information (e.g. due to problems with data communication), the controller
operates as follows:
– After a reset, the controller operates in heating mode until another changeover
command is received.
– If the transfer of data is interrupted, the controller remains in the last valid room
operating mode.
The changeover information must be available on the bus.
In the case of an integration into DESIGO, it is provided by the integration station.
In conjunction with Synco, it must be provided in one of the demand zones.
57/114
8.1.3 Actuator type selection
STOP Note! All actuators have threads suitable for fitting to both normally-closed (push to open) and
normally-open (pull-to-open) valves. However, the RX applications do not support
inverse control, which means that only actuators with a pulling action can be used with
"pull-to-open" valves and only actuators with a pushing action can be used with "push-
to-open" valves. This is why, in RX applications, valves with mounted actuators are
always closed when de-energized.
Directly connected Different applications support different valve actuators, and these do not all require the
valve actuators same number of outputs on the controller.
– Thermal actuators are driven with an AC 24 V PDM signal

– Motorized actuators are driven with an AC 24 V 3-position signal.
– Electromechanical actuators (motors with spring return) have a special PDM
algorithm that ensures that 50 position changes per day are not exceeded.
This causes a slower control behavior.
Thermal and electromechanic actuators thus require one output, motorized actuators
two.

Thermal valve actuators  It is not possible to ensure exact parallel running of more than one thermal valve
actuator. If several fan coils are driven by the same controller, preference should be
given to motorized actuators.
If thermal actuators must nevertheless be controlled in parallel, third-party thermal
must be parameterized regardless of manufacture. This applies also if an external
power amplifier is used to drive the actuators.
 Thermal actuators operate at a raised temperature. To ensure a fast response, these
actuators are constantly preheated to a slightly higher temperature (5% – 1 s ON /
19 s OFF). They therefore continue to receive pulses from the controller even when
closed.
Thermal third party Möhlenhoff actuators have been tested successfully in our HVAC laboratory.
devices
Electromechanic third- Electromechanic third-party devices often have different runtimes for opening and
party devices closing. For optimal control, the longer of the two running times must be parameterized.
Synchronize When switching on the controller, after parameterization, after switching from test mode
to normal mode and for valve protection (unblocking, see page 62), the actuators are
synchronized:
 Thermal heating and cooling valve actuators are controlled with "Open" for 5 minutes
(50% – 1 sec ON/ 1 sec OFF), then again for 5 minutes with "Close" (5% – 1 sec
ON/ 19 sec OFF).
 Motorized actuators are first opened (110% of the runtime) and then closed (110%
of the runtime).
The sequence starts after synchronization.
Parameterization The actuator type used must be defined at the engineering stage:

With motorized actuators (conventional and bus actuators), third-party devices can
also be connected. The actuator running time can be adapted and an offset set
accordingly.
The offset considers the time between the electric pulse and the actual mechanic
movement of the actuator. This is especially important for fast running actuators.
For electromechanic actuators, the actuator running time can be adapted.

8.1.5 Valve exercising feature
To prevent valves from seizing after long periods of inactivity (e.g. cooling valves in
winter) the valves are operated from time to time. The valve actuators are operated in
such a way as to waste as little heating or cooling energy as possible.
The valve exercise function is triggered if the valve has been closed for ca. 91 hours
without interruption.

8.2 Fan coils with damper control
In FNC20, a single damper actuator is used for control of both heating and cooling.
8.2.1 Four-pipe fan coils with damper control (FNC20)
In application FNC20, which uses a damper instead of a valve for modulating control of
the room temperature, a constant volume of water flows through the two heat
exchangers. Depending on the demand, the air flow is guided either through the
heating coil or through the cooling coil, causing a change in the resulting mixed air
temperature.

8.4 Fan coils with an electric reheater
In addition to controlling heating and/or cooling valves, some applications also provide
an output for the control of an electric heating coil. This is then operated as a reheater,
i.e. it only comes into operation when the heating valve is fully open.
Notes  With motorized actuators, the electric reheater is only enabled when the heating
valve is fully open.
 In the case of thermal actuators, the electric reheater is not enabled until the thermal
actuator has been operated at maximum flow (100%) for at least 2 minutes.
 The switching differential is fixed at 1.0 K.

8.4.3 The electric reheater
Controller output In the case of the RXL22.1 room controller, the electric reheater is switched directly via
output Q44 (max. 1.8 kW resistive).
Safety thermostat The controller output of the electric reheater can be disabled locally via a safety
thermostat connected to one of the hardware inputs. The alarm input and the way in
which it operates can be configured with the tool (see "Digital inputs", page 86).
When the safety thermostat trips, an alarm is generated, which is output via the
communication object Alarm (see page 91).
Desired output The "position" of the electrical reheater is assumed by the integration station after
integration in DESIGO; the same applies to Synco.

LTHW radiator applications have a proportional control sequence. The controllers

operate with a PI algorithm optimized for thermal or motorized valve actuators. (For
simplicity, the diagram below shows only the P-control action.)
The radiator sequence can also be used for other heating types, e.g. floor heating.
However, the control parameters are not optimized for this.
The heater battery of the fan coil operates in a cascade with the radiator.
The control sequences come into operation at the effective heating setpoint.

8.5.3 Heat demand
This application can have two different heat demand signals; one from the air-to-air
heat exchanger and one from the radiator. With Synco, the demand signals are
mapped as 2 bus signals (see 11.4, Heating and cooling demand).
8.5.4 Downdraft compensation
This function is only active in Comfort mode.
In situations where (owing to large internal heat gains) there is no heating demand from
the room despite a low outdoor temperature (supplied via the bus), large window
surfaces can impair indoor comfort (through radiated cold and the downward flow of
cold air).
Function A radiator located under the window can be used to “brake” the downward flow of cold
air and compensate for cold radiation.
To achieve this, the radiator is switched on whenever the outdoor temperature drops
below a predefined value (the Outdoor temp. 0% valve position).
The maximum heating output (set under Max. Valve Position) is reached at the "coldest
outdoor temperature" (which can be set under Outdoor temp. max. valve position).

Note The controller adds the values representing the valve position for downdraft
compensation and the valve position for the heating sequence.
– If the room temperature rises as a result of the downdraft compensation feature, the
heating sequence reduces the opening of the associated valve, so correcting the
room temperature.
– When the sequence reaches zero, the room temperature is increased by the residual
heat from the downdraft compensation feature.
Controller output The heat output calculated by the controller is achieved as follows:
LTHW radiators with The valve is opened to the heat output value [%].
motorized valve actuators
LTHW radiators with  The minimum heat output is 25% (LED08: 10%):
thermal valve actuators 400 seconds "OPEN" (1s On, 1 s Off) 1200 s "CLOSE" (1s On, 19 s Off)
 Heat output 50%:
400 seconds "OPEN" (1s On, 1 s Off) 400 s "CLOSE" (1s On, 19 s Off)
 Heat output 80%:
1600 seconds "OPEN" (1s On, 1 s Off) 400 s "CLOSE" (1s On, 19 s Off)
The long cycle time ensures that the valves are fully opened and closed.
In a network containing several room controllers, the opening of the Siemens thermic
actuators is staggered to prevent the heating load from fluctuating.
Note In fan coils with parallel operation of a thermal radiator valve actuator and a thermal
heating/cooling valve actuator, the valve actuators are driven alternately by the
controller.

Enabling the function The following conditions must be fulfilled:
– The room controller must be in Comfort mode

– The radiator must not be disabled (e.g. by application mode = COOL).
8.6 Outside air damper fan coils ("Economizer",

FNC10, FNC12)
The outside air damper mainly serves to provide the room with fresh outside air. In
addition, the outside air can be used to cool the room.
The outside air damper is always operated in Comfort and Precomfort modes.
In Economy mode, it is operated only in conjunction with the following special functions
(see page 87 ff. for a description):
Pre-Cool, Free Cool, Night Purge and Fan-Only.
Control sequence, The damper is controlled through a stroke model calculated from the runtime of the
damper actuator actuator.
The Economizer setpoint Outside air temp. min. damper pos. defines at which outside
temperature the outside air damper is opened to an adjustable minimum position.
This minimum position ensures a constant air supply below the outside air temperature.
The Outside air temp. min. damper pos. setpoint should be selected to ensure that
there is at least a difference of 4 K between this value and the cooling setpoint and that,
at the same time, no draught is caused by the inflow of cold outside air.
The Economizer setpoint should not be much lower than the Comfort heating setpoint,
otherwise too much cool air would come into the room during the heating sequence.
Above the Outside air temp. min. damper pos. setpoint, the damper is opened
beyond the minimum position if:
– the outside temperature is below the room temperature and
– either the room controller is in Comfort or Precomfort room operating mode
or
one of the special functions "Pre-Cool", "Free Cool", "Night Purge" or "Fan-Only" is
active
The damper is fully closed if:

– the outdoor temperature drops below the frost protection limit (see page 25)
– the safty thermostat for the outdoor temperature is activated (see page 86)
– the special function "Emergency Heat" is active in Economy mode
– the outside air temperature is above the room temperature.

there is a differential of at least 1K between the Outside air temp. min. damper
pos. setpoint and the cooling setpoint of the effective room operating mode.
The use of the outside-air damper can only be implemented in conjunction with the
RXL21.1 controller. In this case, the AC 24 V 3-position damper actuator is connected
to the outputs Y3 and Y4.

8.7 Room supply air cascade control (FNC08)
Room supply air cascade control makes it possible to reach the required room
temperature very quickly. On the basis of the measured room temperature, the
controller calculates a setpoint for the temperature at the air outlet of the fan coil.
A limit value can be applied to this temperature to prevent the introduction of
uncomfortably cold / warm air into the room.
This function is not available for electric heaters, as these cannot be controlled well
enough with RXL controllers.

9 Fan control
9.1 Description
All fan coil applications incorporate single-speed, two-speed or three-speed automatic

fan control. The fan speeds are enabled and disabled via volt-free relay contacts. The
controllers operate with an algorithm optimized for thermal or motorized valve actuators
for each fan speed.
Room unit Certain room units allow the user to select the fan speeds MANUALLY (in Comfort
mode only).
There are two types of automatic mode:

 “AUTO” applies to automatic operation at Comfort temperature setpoints.
 The symbol " " does not mean “Fan Off”, but "automatic operation at reduced
setpoints", e.g. Precomfort mode.
In the reduced room operating modes, the fan speeds CANNOT be selected
manually.
Automatic mode In automatic mode, the fan speeds are controlled in accordance with the response of a
PI controller to the control deviation.
The relays are operated in alternation. Example: When the controller switches from
Speed 1 to Speed 2, first the relay for Speed 1 switches off (A), and then, after a delay
of 1 s, the relay for Speed 2 switches on (B). The same applies in reverse when
switching down.

Building Technologies Fan control 17 Sep 2010
The fan runs at fan speed 1 for as long as the heating/cooling valve remains partly
open, or in the case of an electric heater, while the heater is in operation.
 It is enabled as soon as the controller specifies a valve position or an electric
heating output greater than 0.
 It is disabled when the controller specifies a valve position or electric heating output
equal to 0 and the minimum fan switch-on time has elapsed.
When the valve is fully open or the electric heater is operating at 100% (in the range
marked "a"), a sequence controller enables fan speeds 2 and 3.
In addition to the control deviation, an integrator also comes into operation in the
range marked "a". This ensures that the fan switches to speed 2 (and later to speed 3)
if the control deviation has remained >0 for a period of time, even if the room
temperature has not reached the switching point for fan speed 2.
The fan does not switch back down to speed 2 and later to speed 1 until there has been
no control deviation for a period of time.
If the room operating mode changes (Comfort, Economy etc.), the sequence
controller is reinitialized by the application. This produces the following response: If the
room temperature is within the dead band after the change of room operating mode,
the controller specifies valve positions of 0%, or in the case of electric heaters, these
are disabled, and the fan is switched off. However, any delay time (minimum switch-on
time, switch-off delay in conjunction with electric heating coil / reheater or periodic fan
kick)) is allowed to expire first.

in operating state Comfort.
Manual No automatic fan control. For example, the fan is operated manually 0
on the fan coil itself and can be enabled via relay Q14 (relay Q14 is
ON in Comfort mode).
Fan startup behavior The motors of some fans do not have a sufficiently powerful torque to set the fan in
motion at the lowest speed. Multi-speed fans are, therefore, always started at the
highest speed and then switched back to fan speed 1.
Note This feature also applies to manual fan-speed control via the room unit.
9.2.2 Minimum on time
Each fan speed remains on for a pre-defined minimum period before switching to the
next higher speed. This enables the controller to adjust to the fan speed
9.2.3 Fan overrun time (switch-off delay)
When switching off an electric reheater (FNC03, FNC05), it is essential to ensure that
the residual heat from the electric heater battery is dissipated.
For this reason, the fan is switched off only after a delay. The overrun time can be
defined.
9.2.4 Periodic fan kick
Return air sensor If the room temperature is measured with a return air sensor in the fan coil (connected
to input B1 at the room controller, see Section 7), the fan must be switched on to
ensure that the effective room temperature is measured correctly.
The function "Periodic fan kick" is used for this purpose.
From version V2.36, a reduced functionality (without time values for Comfort and
Economy) is available even if no return air sensor is parameterized.
Note! For tool architecture reasons, those time values are visible and settable in ACS
and in the HandyTool although not supported by the controller.
80/114
Function The fan can be enabled at the lowest speed at regular intervals. While the room

10 Master/slave
10.1 Description
Example of a master/slave configuration: Several controllers are installed in an open-

plan office. One controller (the master) measures the room temperature and controls
the other controllers (slaves) via the bus. This ensures that it will be possible to
subdivide the room into smaller rooms, without the need to change the wiring.
Bus
T A B B
Master Slave Slave
10785Z17
Room 321 Room 322 Room 323
Controller A is configured as the master controller and controls the room temperature.
Controllers B are configured as slaves and operate in parallel with Controller A.
STOP Note!  A slave controller may be controlled by one master controller only. A master,
however, can control any number of slaves, subject to the limits of the bus system
(topology, bus load etc.).
 Parallel operation of thermal valves among other factors primarily depends on the
supplied voltage. We recommend to parameterize "3rd Party Thermic" for thermal
valves regardless of make.
 Master/slave bindings are only possible between controllers with the same version
(ASN) and featuring the same applications and settings.
Parameter Description
Master Normal control.
Slave The slave controller is controlled by a master controller via the bus.
The master and slave controllers operate in parallel.
The room temperature is measured only by the master.
Master-Slave with zones For master-slave operation the controllers must be parameterized accordingly and the
master / slave zones must be set correctly.

11.4 Heating and cooling demand
To provide the required heating or cooling energy, the heating and/or cooling demand
from each room is transmitted to the building automation and control system.
Refer to the application example in section 3.4 for more detailed information on
heating/cooling demand.
Note In the case of changeover applications the real demand is transmitted, independent
from the state of the changeover input (therefore it might be that a controller demands
heat, if c/o = cooling and room temp < SpH).

Alarms differ between DESIGO and Synco.
RXL controllers support different alarms:
 Room temperature frost If the room temperature or return temperature in a fan coil
application drops below the fixed frost protection limit (5
°C or adjustable for outside air applications), an alarm is
generated.
 Outside air temperature In applications with outside air damper, a safety thermo-
frost stat in the outside air duct can be connected to the digital
input.
 Overheating alarm If the digital input of an RXL22.... controller is used as an

overheating alarm (see page 65), the information is
transmitted in this alarm message.
 Supply air sensor error Sensor fault or short circuit.

Room sensor error
 PPS2 fault If the PPS2 communication between a controller and the

room unit is interrupted, or the room unit has an internal
fault, the information is transmitted in this alarm
message.
11.12.1 With DESIGO
When integrated in DESIGO, the above described alarms are bundled and provided as
a common alarm.
91/114
11.12.2 With Synco
The device listens on the bus and sends an alarm when it has highest alarm priority.
This ensures that the management station does not miss any alarms.

13 Bus information
13.1 Reset and startup response
Reset A reset is initiated under the following circumstances:

 Processor failure(e.g. watchdog).
 After a power failure.
 After a bus power failure.
 Upon completion of a self test (using the communication object "StatusRequest").
 After parameterization in ACS
 After leaving the parameterization mode in the HandyTool
 After test with HandyTool.
The application is restarted after every reset. Depending on the controller address, this
may take 1 ... 255 s.
Then, the bus connection is opened and all connected valve actuators are
synchronized. This takes the following time depending on application and actuator type:
– Typically 170 s for closing (runtime + 10%) for motorized actuators.
– 300 s ON and 300 s OFF (3rd party: 400 + 400 s) for thermal actuators.
The application is always placed in a safe state. Any outputs which cannot be
synchronized will not be operated (triac outputs = 0, and relay outputs = Open). Normal
operation is resumed after synchronization.
Note When the controller exist the test mode, only a soft reset is carried out:
– The valve actuators and dampers are synchronized.
– The control algorithm, but not the complete application, is restarted.
 Each time the control sequence reaches 0% or 100%, a limit position
synchronization takes place.
– For motorized actuators close or open during (runtime + 10%).
– 300 s ON and 300 s OFF (3rd party: 400 s) for thermal actuators.
13.2 LED flashing pattern
An LED is located at the controller's bottom right indicating the operating state by
various flashing patterns:
Green, flashing Normal operation.

Red, flashing Programming mode for address assignment (ACS).
Orange / green,  Startup phase (see above 13.1)
flashing  No application selected (see 4.1).
 Loading.
– Download from ACS.
– Room unit QAX34.3 in HandyTool mode.
Other patterns After switching on the operating voltage, the controller flashes for 3
to 5 seconds in different patterns.
If other patterns appear during normal operation, this indicates an
error.
97/114
Building Technologies Bus information 17 Sep 2010
13.3 Startup delay
After a reset, it takes up to 5 minutes for all the connected room controllers to restart.
This is designed to avoid overloading the mains power supply when restarting. At the
same time, it reduces the bus load, as not all controllers transmit data at the same time.
The delay is determined by the controller's device address.
13.4 Bus load
In a large system, the bus load can be a problem, especially with central commands
which cause the controllers to send status information simultaneously. This can even
result in the loss of data telegrams.
If the recommended limits are respected (max. 45 RXL controllers per line and per
integration station), no problems should occur.)

14 FAQs
Question: What happens if the parameter download process is interrupted? (power failure,
bus failure etc.)
Answer: The parameter set loaded into the controller will be incomplete. The controller will not
start up properly. For example, the fan may run but the valves do not open.
You will have to download the parameters again.
Question: Why does the controller fail to start after a parameter download?
(applies to HandyTool.)
Answer: The parameter download was probably interrupted or exposed to interference. Reload
the controller with the entire parameter set (with HandyTool or ACS).
Question: Why does the controller not start after adjusting certain parameters?
(applies to HandyTool.)
Answer: Parameter download probably interrupted or fault.

A complete parameter set must be loaded in the controller
(via HandyTool or ACS).
Question: Why does the HandyTool not display parameter 1 upon quick quit and restart of the
Display mode?
Answer: Communication to the HandyTool is relatively slow.

You need to wait a brief moment before reopening the Display mode.
Question: Why does the HandyTool display "uuuu"?
Answer : Other parameters have been changed so that the selected parameter became irrele-
vant. Just continue your work;. the problem will disappear when the parameterization is
started again.
Question: ACS: Why is reading back parameters so slow?
Answer: Check to make shure that neither the operating booklet nor the plant image is active.
Both applications cause a lot of bus traffic and thus slow down reading back
parameters.

Building Technologies FAQs 17 Sep 2010
Question: ACS: Parameter download does not work, why?
Answer: Make sure that the parameter tree is expanded prior to download.
Wrong Right
Note Download sometimes also works with a collapsed parameter tree.
Question: Why can I not parameterize the controller via HandyTool in service mode (n6)?
Answer: Download (HandyTool or ACS) was not exited correctly (interrupted).

Solution: Carry out a full download (via HandyTool or ACS).
Question: Why does a controller with thermal valves not respond immediately when it is
enabled in the plant graphics in the ACS view and in the DESIGO graphics?
Answer: After start-up, the thermal valves are preheated first. This is not shown in the plant
graphics.
However, if the room temperature is outside the dead band during this period, the fan
switches to Speed 1.
Question: Why doesn’t the master/slave communication work?
Answer Master/slave zones must be identical for master and slave.
Question: With master/slave configurations, why do the QAX34 room units not always show the
same temperature values?
Answer: The master-controller and slave-controller data is synchronized at regular intervals.

If a value changes just after synchronization, it may differ for a few minutes until it is
resynchronized.
105/114
Question: Why does the slave window contact/presence detector contact have no effect?
Answer: For the window/presence detector contact, the slave can only be integrated via the
CFC. Suitable compounds are available in the library: [WndStaDtr] and [OcStaDtr].
Question Why do the ACS plant graphics not always display all values (e.g. room operating
mode)?
Answer The controller is configured as a slave. These values are not available with slave
controllers.
Question Why doesn’t the ACS Operator Book show the current data?
Answer After a change of application (e.g. from FNC12 to FNC18) you first need to update the
reference data points.

15 Integration of RXL into DESIGO/Synco
Combinations of RXL controllers with Synco and a DESIGO integration are possible
and certainly make sense.
However, certain combinations must be excluded; for others, certain boundary

conditions must be respected.
In the following sections the most common combinations are presented.

Display
Time scheduler
Heating demand

15.1 Case 1: Integration into Synco
 Communication:
– between controllers via zones
– with ACS: Individual addressing
 RXL display: ACS
 Synco display: ACS
 RXL time scheduler: from Synco
 Energy demand: to Synco

by means of individual addressing treats the time scheduler and display as one
package. They subsequently need to be separated.

16 Working with different tools
It is possible to prepare the RXL controllers in the office by setting the parameters in
advance, so that only the physical address has to be entered on site. The HandyTool
contains a “limited” parameter-setting option which can be used for this purpose.
The preparatory work would then probably be carried out with ACS rather than with the
HandyTool.
Special caution is required (in relation to data consistency) when using more than one
tool.
