Key Concepts State Based Control
Figure 1: State Based Control Diagram
The RTU application uses State Based Control to ensure proper control of the Rooftop. State Based applications have the following components.
• Inputs: Extract information from the system. Examples include hard-wired sensors (for example, zone temperature sensor), switches (for example, proof of airflow switch), and network overrides (for example, networked outside air temperature).
• Parameters: Refer to pieces of information stored inside the application. Examples include configuration settings, setpoints, unit parameters, and Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID) parameters. Many parameters are adjustable.
• Miscellaneous Logic: Defines all logic not defined via a State Generator or Output Controller. Examples include occupancy determination and active setpoint determination.
• State Generators: Defines the sequences of operation for a specific control system. State generators need information from the appropriate inputs or parameters or status information from the output controllers to ensure proper sequencing.
• State Selector: Receives state information from all of the state generators. The state selector then determines the current set of output controller modes based on the current states of all the state generators.
• Output Controllers: Defines the operation of the output devices (for example, valves, dampers, and fans) based on the modes determined by the State Selector.
• Outputs: Converts the output controller information into action. Examples include valve and damper outputs, fan commands, and cooling and heating stage commands.
Application Note Rooftop Top Unit (RTU) Controller 7
Occupancy Determination The RTU application supports the following:
• a local and network occupancy schedule with the network schedule having priority
• a network occupancy sensor input
• a temporary occupancy input (initiated via the TM-2100/NRM) and a network occupancy manual command with the network occupancy manual command having priority
Table 3 displays the occupancy determination for the RTU application.

2. Standby and Bypass states are treated the same as Invalid.

Zone Temperature Control The RTU sequences the controlled devices to control the zone air temperature to a constant setpoint.
Effective Zone Temperature Setpoint Determination The effective (actual) zone temperature setpoint (to which the RTU application controls) depends on several inputs, including:
• occupied and unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints (configured via cpSetpoints)
• network setpoint override (nviSetpoint)
• network warm/cool adjustment override (nviWarmCoolAdj)
• warm/cool or setpoint adjustment from the zone thermostat
• current effective occupancy state
• zone temperature (from the NRM/TM-2100 sensor or network zone temperature override nviSpaceTemp)
The effective zone temperature setpoint is calculated using the LON Asymmetrical Setpoint Calculation Method.
The first step is to calculate the absolute setpoint offset, which is found using the equation in Figure 2. Setpoint is the local setpoint from the 13 - 30°C (55 - 85°F) setpoint adjustment zone thermostat or the network zone temperature override nviSpaceTemp.
absOffset Setpoint nciSetpoints_OccCool nciSetpoints_OccHeat2
Figure 2: Calculate the Absolute Setpoint Offset
The next step is to calculate the effective heating and cooling setpoints based on the effective occupancy mode. If the unit is in the occupied or bypass mode, the effective heating and cooling setpoints are found using the equations in Figure 3. SetptOffset is the warm/cool adjustment from the zone thermostat or the network warm/cool adjustment override nviWarmCoolAdj.

If the unit is in the standby mode, the effective heating and cooling setpoints are found using the equations in Figure 4.

HtgSetpoint nciSetpoints_StandbyHeat absOffset SetptOffset nviSetptShift_StandbyHeat Figure 4: Calculate the Effective Heating and Cooling Setpoints in Standby Mode
If the unit is in the unoccupied mode, the effective heating and cooling setpoints are found using the equations in Figure 5.

HtgSetpoint nciSetpoints_UnOccHeat absOffset SetptOffset nviSetptShift_UnOccHeat Figure 5: Calculate the Effective Heating and Cooling Setpoints in Unoccupied
Mode
The effective heating and cooling setpoints are limited by the minimum cooling setpoint and the maximum heating setpoint, which are set to 16 and 30°C (60.8 and 86°F), respectively. The RTU application provides two different physical setpoint adjustments. One setpoint adjustment type is an offset (warm/cool) adjustment and the other adjustment type is an absolute setpoint adjustment. You can only use one adjustment type at any given time.

Occupied Control Sequencer The Occupied Control Sequencer generates the appropriate occupied temperature control state for the RTU application. See Table 4.
Table 4: Occupied Sequencer State Description Zone Damper
Enters this state when heating is needed and primary heating is either not satisfying the heating setpoint or is not responding.
Primary Heat Enters this state when heating is needed. Satisfied Enters this state when no heating or cooling is needed. Econ Enters this state when economizer cooling is allowed and needed, and
mechanical cooling is not yet needed or does not respond. EconMech Enters this state when economizer cooling cannot satisfy the cooling
setpoint and mechanical cooling is responding. Mech Enters this state when economizer cooling is not allowed or not
responding and mechanical cooling is responding and is needed. Discharge Air Low Limit (DALL) Econ
Enters this state if low limit temperature control is required, and the low limit temperature is reliable; or if low limit temperature control is required, the low limit temperature is required and reliable, and mechanical cooling is not responding. The objective is to allow the damper to modulate between minimum and maximum position to control the low limit temperature to the low limit temperature setpoint.
DALL Heating
Enters this state if low limit temperature control is required, and the low limit temperature is reliable; or if low limit temperature control is required, the low limit temperature is reliable (and economizer is either not responding, not allowed, or not satisfying the low limit setpoint). The objective is to allow heating to control the low limit temperature to the low limit setpoint.
DALL Damper
Enters this state if low limit temperature control is required, and the low limit temperature is reliable; or if low limit temperature control is required, and heating is not responding or is not satisfying the low limit temperature setpoint. The objective is to allow the damper to modulate between 0% and minimum position to control the low limit temperature to the low limit setpoint.
Shutdown Enters this state if the zone temperature is unreliable.

Unoccupied Control Sequencer The Unoccupied Sequencer generates the appropriate unoccupied temperature control state.
Table 5: Zone Unoccupied Sequencer State Description Satisfied Enters this state if no heating or cooling is required. Econ Clg Enters this sate when economizer cooling is allowed and needed,
and mechanical cooling is not yet needed or is not responding. Econ Mech Enters this state when economizer cooling cannot satisfy the
cooling setpoint, and mechanical cooling is responding. Mech Enters this state when economizer cooling is not allowed or not
responding, and mechanical cooling is responding and is needed. Primary Heat Enters this state when heating is needed. Idle Enters this state when cooling is needed. This state is used to
allow the fans to start and obtain an accurate reading of outside air temperature to determine free cooling availability.

Sequencers No Airflow The application monitors the supply fan command and proof of flow input and determines whether the current state is Normal, Manual Reset Fault, or Self Reset Fault. Table 6 displays the states in the No Airflow module. Figure 9 displays the No Airflow Sequencer process.
Table 6: No Airflow State Description Normal Enters this state when the fan behavior matches the fan
command. Manual Reset Fault
Enters this state during the manual reset fault state. The application is in this state because there is no proof of airflow and the unit requires manual intervention to restart.
Self Reset Fault Enters this state during the automatic reset fault state. The application is in this state because there is no proof of airflow and the unit does not require manual intervention to restart.

Unit Enable The Unit Enable sequencer starts the unit. If the Power Fail Restart Enable configuration parameter input to the sequencer is disabled (No), then the state output matches the value of the unit enable input. If Power Fail Restart Enable is enabled (Yes), then the state output is true. The state output is true only if the unit enable input is true and the unit is powered up for a randomly generated time period in the range of 0 seconds to the Maximum Power Fail Restart Delay time. Table 7 displays the states of the Unit Enable sequencer.
Table 7: Unit Enable Sequencer States State Description True Enters this state when the unit is enabled and allowed to run. False Enters this state when the unit is not enabled and not allowed to run.
The value of the unit enable input to the sequencer is determined by the Unit Enable Switch input and the Unit Enable network input (Table 8).

Control of Staged Devices The RTU application provides a zone control strategy for sequencing staged devices.
Zone Control of Staged Devices Figure 10 shows the staging points for the zone control scheme. The up arrows indicate turn on, and the down arrows indicate turn off. The stages turn on and off based on the PID present value. Devices are staged based on First In Last Off (FILO).
Figure 10: Zone Control of Staged Devices
Device Availability Determination Based on outdoor temperature, the RTU application locks out heating (via High Outside Air Temperature Lockout for Heating lockout setpoint) or cooling (via Low Outside Air Temperature Lockout for Cooling lockout setpoint) devices from the network.
Application Note Rooftop Top Unit (RTU) Controller 17
Dehumidification The RTU application determines the state of dehumidification control based on the dehumidification process variable and its reliability, corresponding setpoint, heating and cooling setpoint.
Table 9: Dehumidification States State Description Satisfied Enters this state when dehumidification is not needed, so normal
temperature control is allowed. Dehumidify Enters this state when dehumidification is required. The cooling coils
are controlled using the humidity process variable and the humidity setpoint. The heating coil is controlled using the temperature setpoints and zone temperature to prevent over cooling.
Humidity Unreliable
Enters this state when the humidity sensor is unreliable. In this state, dehumidification is disabled and normal temperature control is allowed.
Output Device Control Mixed Air Damper The RTU application provides control of a mixed air damper. This means that a single Analog Output (AO) controls the mixing of outside air with return air.
Economizer Suitability The RTU application supports the following economizer suitability schemes:
• dry bulb switch-over
• differential temperature
• Single Enthalpy
• Differential Enthalpy

Rooftop Top Unit (RTU) Controller Application Note 28
PID Tuning If tuning is required, you must manually tune the PIDs in this application. All of the default temperature control PID tuning parameters are based on a zone temperature control process.
Use Table 21 as a conservative starting point if you are manually turning the PID. Further manual turning may be required.
Table 21: PID Tuning Parameters Integral Time (Seconds)
Proportional Band (Diff Deg. F)
Saturation Time (Seconds)
890 7.2°F (4°C) 180
Integral Time The time required by the integral action to contribute the same amount to the controller output as the proportional term for a constant error.
Proportional Band The amount of change in the process variable that produces a full range change (High Limit - Low Limit) in the present value. The proportional band must be greater than zero.
Saturation Time The saturation time is amount of time required for the PID status to change to saturated high after the PID reaches a maximum physical limit. The amount of time the present value must be at the low or high limit for the saturation status to be set to either Low or High.

Supervisor Interface The RTU application template contains predefined mappings between the application points and N2 points, LONWORKS® network variables, and BACnet® objects. After you select the protocol type in the Application Wizard, the corresponding network profile is added to the RTU application file.
The actual network profile depends on which configuration settings were selected in the Application Wizard. The Protocol Documentation and Network Resource Files generated by the Application Wizard provide you with details about the actual network profile. Make sure that you make the appropriate selections in the Application Wizard Preferences dialog, or else the desired files do not generate.
• If the Generate Protocol Documentation option was selected in the Application Wizard Preferences dialog, then the network documentation generates at the end of the Application Wizard session.
