Siemens Energy Manager / Heating Conroller RVP540 / RVP550 CE1N2488en
Building Technologies 04.11.2009
• Types of plant:
− Solar collectors
− Wood-fired boilers
− Heat pumps
− Oil / gas burners (single-stage, 2-stage or modulating)
− Wall-hung gas boilers
− D.h.w. heating
− Basic and complex buffer storage tanks
− Mixing or pump heating circuits
Functions
• Mono- or multivalent (RVP550)
• With oil- or gas-fired boilers
• With wood-fired boilers
• With heat pump
• With solar collectors
• Management of buffer, d.h.w. and combi storage tanks
• Heat generation controlled either directly by the RVP5xx or by an additional control-
ler of the SIGMAGYR™ range (e.g. RVL471, RVL472, or Boiler Management Unit
BMU)
• Temperature setpoint of the heat source depending on the demand signal delivered
by the heating circuits connected to the system
• Temperature setpoint of the heat source depending on the temperature requisition
(DC 0…10 V, input H1, for controller outside the system)
• Heat generation lock or minimum temperature requisition with remote switch (via
contact H1)
• Overload detection (shifting priority)
• “Green“ operation (energy delivered exclusively by wood-fired boiler or solar panel)
• Manual operation
• Chimney sweep function
• Automatic operation
• Weather-compensated heating circuit control with or without room influence
• Adjustable maximum limitation of the temperature requisitions delivered to the heat
generating equipment
• Quick setback and boost heating
• Automatic 24-hour heating limit
• Automatic summer / winter changeover
• The building’s thermal dynamics are taken into consideration
• Automatic adaption of heating curve to the building and to the demand for heat (pro-
vided a room unit is connected)
• Floor curing function
• Optimum start / stop control
• Protective boiler startup (acting on the consumers)
• Minimum limitation of the boiler return temperature (acting on the mixing valve, by-
pass pump and / or the consumers)
• Boiler overtemperature protection (pump overrun)
• Adjustable minimum and maximum limitation of the boiler temperature
• Cycling protection for heat generation
• Frost protection for the building and the plant
• Frost protection for the boiler and the d.h.w. storage tank connected directly to the
controller
• Periodic pump kick
