The available operating modes determine both operation and basic control strategy in the automation and
control system at three different levels:
● The room operating modes determine the operation of HVAC equipment in a room in terms of current
use by the user. The room operating modes defined for the room are available in all HVAC control
applications in the room.
● The HVAC plant operating modes determine the operation the HVAC plant in the room with regard to
existing, physical plant processes. The HVAC plant operating modes are defined specifically for 1 HVAC
plant in the room.
● The device operating modes determine the operation of the HVAC devices in a room by predefining
their tasks and implementation method. The device operating modes are defined specifically for each
individual HVAC device.
Plant and device operating modes of a plant with heating coil, cooling coil, and fan
Project-specific adaptations of both plant and device operating modes can be implemented by adapting the
operating mode table.
