0 - 10Vdc BMS Parameters Screen:
0-10Vdc Operation
When the Demand Configuration parameter (see page 18) is set to either Cascade BMS Thermostat Based, Cascade BMS Voltage Based, Cascade Modbus BMS Thermostat Based, or Cascade Modbus BMS Voltage Based; a 0 - 10Vdc signal can be supplied to the terminal strip connection or through Modbus communications to control a single unit or a multiple unit cascade.
The BMS Screen allows access to 12 parameters. Those parameters are:
•BMS Type - When the unit or cascade is controlled by the
•ModBus Time - When the tank temperature reading is provided through the ModBus control, it should be refreshed on a regular basis. This setting defines the maximum time it must be refreshed. If the time expires, the control will revert to its local reading.
•BMS Set Point at Minimum Voltage - Determines the set point used by the unit or cascade when the BMS voltage is at or below the setting of the BMS Voltage Minimum Set Point parameter. This parameter is only active when the BMS Type is set to Set Point. This parameter can only be changed by the installer. The temperature range of this parameter is 32° to 179°F. The default value is 70°F.
•BMS Set Point at Maximum Voltage - Determines the set point used by the unit or cascade when the BMS voltage is at or above the setting of the BMS Voltage Maximum Set Point parameter. This parameter is only active when the BMS Type is set to Set Point. This parameter can only be changed by the installer. The temperature range of this parameter is 70° to 190°F. The default value is 179°F.
Service Manual
•BMS Voltage at Minimum Set Point - Determines the voltage at which the external signal begins to increase the set point. Below this voltage, the set point will be at the setting of the BMS Set Point Minimum Voltage parameter. This parameter is only active when the BMS Type is set to Set Point. This parameter can only be changed by the installer. The range of this parameter is 0 to 10V. The default value is 2V.
•BMS Voltage at Maximum Set Point - Determines the voltage at which the external signal forces the set point to the setting of the BMS Set Point Maximum Voltage parameter. This parameter is only active when the BMS Type is set to Set Point. This parameter can only be changed by the installer. The range of this parameter is 2V to 10V. The default value is 10V.
•BMS Voltage at Start Call for Heat - When the Demand Configuration parameter (see page 18) is set to Cascade BMS Voltage Based, this parameter determines the BMS input voltage at which the unit or cascade is enabled. The unit or cascade will become enabled when the BMS input voltage rises up to or above this value. This parameter can only be changed by the installer. The range of this parameter is 0 to 10V. The default value is 2V.
•Drop in BMS Voltage to End Call for Heat - When the Demand Configuration parameter (see page 18) is set to Cascade BMS Voltage Based, this parameter determines the BMS input voltage at which the unit or cascade is disabled. The unit or cascade will become disabled when the BMS input voltage drops down to or below the BMS voltage at start call for heat minus this value. This parameter can only be changed by the installer. The range of this parameter is 0 to 10V. The default value is 1V.
