Universal Burner
Controllers RWF40...

RWF40... complete with housing

The RWF40... is a compact universal digital boiler temperature / pressure

controller providing functions designed specifically for the control of heat
generating plant.

The RWF40... and this data sheet are intended for use by OEMs which
integrate the controller in their products.

Mechanical design The RWF40... is supplied complete with housing for flush panel mounting.
The controller is matched to the controlled variable and the required setpoint range by
making parameter settings.
The control parameters can be set and optimized while the burner is running.
All settings are made with four buttons located on the unit front and are directly
displayed.

LEDs on the front indicate the following operational statuses:

– Control ON / OFF
– Positioning pulses OPEN or CLOSE for driving the burner's air damper when using
modulating burner control, or stage I / stage II when using two-stage burner control
– Position of the configurable contact «K6»
– Manual control ON / OFF
– «Two-stage» operating mode

During operation, the digital displays above the LEDs show the setpoint (green), the
actual value (red) and – when making parameter settings - the relevant parameters.

Warning notes To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the
following warning notes should be observed!
It is not permitted to open, interfere or modify the controller!
• When selecting the cables, when making the installation and the electrical
connections, observe the regulations of VDE 0100 «Erection of power installations
with rated voltages below AC 1000 V» and the relevant national regulations!
• The electrical connections may only be made by authorized staff!
• Provide double-pole isolation of the controller from the mains supply if there is a risk
of touching live parts while work is carried out!

Installation notes Please observe the notes given in the user documentation CC1B7865E!

Service notes • For service purposes, the controller can be removed from its housing with no need
for tools.
• The electrical connections are made via the screw terminals located at the rear of
the housing.

Block structure

Function of the
controller when used for
burner control
Low-flame operation In low-flame operation, the RWF40... operates like a control thermostat or
pressurestat.
This means that it operates as a two-position controller maintaining the required
setpoint by switching the burner on and off.
The switching differential for two-position operation can be adjusted within a wide
range.

If the demand for heat increases, the controller switches to high-flame operation only
when an adjustable limit is exceeded.
This function is aimed at optimizing the burner's switching ratio.

High-flame operation, In that case, the RWF40... operates as a two-position controller with adjustable
two-stage control switching thresholds.
Using the relays of the three-position output, the RWF40... drives the actuator to the
1st and 2nd output stage.
In this operating mode, the optional analog output switches between the minimum
signal for the 1st stage and the maximum output signal for the 2nd stage.

Landis & Staefa Division CC1N7865E August 03, 1999 3/6

High-flame operation, In that case, the RWF40... operates as a PID / PI controller with a three-position
modulating control output without position feedback signals or, optionally, with a modulating output.
By making use of its self-setting facility, the RWF40... is able to determine the PID /
PI control parameters, or the parameters can be set manually.

Binary input 1 Using a potential-free contact, the RWF40... can be switched from the modulating
(changeover of mode to two-stage operation.
operating mode)

Binary input 2 In the case of setpoint shifting, the current setpoint is shifted by an adjustable
(setpoint shifting or amount.
setpoint changeover) Setpoint changeover provides changeover between two setpoints adjusted on the
RWF40... controller.
If analog input 2 is set to the external setpoint, changeover is provided between the
setpoint adjusted on the RWF40... and an external setpoint.

Limit comparator Potential-free contact «K6» can be assigned a number of functions.

Example: limit value supervision

Operation Four buttons on the unit front are used to operate and program the RWF40...
During operation and programming, the seven-segment displays show the parameter
values and parameter names.

Weather-dependent The controller's standard configuration ex works is such that when connecting a
setpoint shifting QAC22 outside sensor, automatic changeover to weather-dependent setpoint shifting
takes place.
The signal delivered by the QAC2... outside sensor may not be fed parallel to
several RWF40...!
