grandis principle
At the same time our controllers are flexible enough to meet requirements of any kind!
How do we manage that?
Our controllers are designed on the basis of a modular principle – they are comprised of modules that are perfectly tailored to one other.
What is a multi-functional controller?
- Every free output of a Prozeda controller can be programmed with an additional function in a fast and easy way (also the free outputs of flex 400 when connected to grandis 650 HK). We call these additional functions Multi-Functional Controllers (MFR).
An MFR extends the pre-defined hydraulic layouts in a very flexible way.
- Depending on a controller type there are up to 20 different multi-functional controller types available. The modular structure of this approach allows hundreds of combinations and can solve even very complicated tasks.
Temperature difference controller
The Temperature difference controller is the most widely used function. There is a measurement point at both the source and the sink. If the difference between the temperatures of the two measurement points exceeds a predefined value, the switching output of the multi-function controller switches on.
In addition, a minimum temperature can be set at the source and a maximum temperature at the sink. If the maximum temperature is exceeded or the temperature falls below the minimum temperature, the switching output of the multi-function controller switches off.

Heating
Simple thermostat function. The switching output of the multi-function controller switches on as soon as the temperature falls below the preset switch-on temperature. If the temperature rises above the upper limit of the preset temperature range (hysteresis), the switching output of the multi-function controller switches off..

Example
Re-heating
Output: R2, Source: S5
Cooling
Simple thermostat function. The switching output of the multi-function controller switches on as soon as the preset switch-on temperature is exceeded. If the temperature drops below the lower limit of the preset temperature range (hysteresis), the switching output of the multi-function controller switches off.

Threshold value switch
As a flexible option of the functions heating and cooling. the switching output of the multi- function controller switches on as soon as the temperature reaches the preset switch-on temperature. If the temperature drops below or rises above the preset temperature range (hysteresis), the switching output of the multi-function controller switches off. To use this function for heating, set the “Hysteresis” value to greater than 0. To use this function for cooling, set the “Hysteresis” value to less than 0..
Wood-fired boiler
This function allows you to re-heat the storage tank from a solid fuel boiler. The switching output of the multi-function controller will be activated if the boiler temperature (source sensor) plus the selected temperature range (hysteresis) exceeds the storage tank temperature (sink sensor).
In addition you can also define a switch-on temperature (setpoint temperature). In this case the pump will not start until the switch-on temperature has been reached. With this function the storage tank will be heated to a maximum temperature of 95 °C.
Example
Tipical re-heating
Output: R3, Source: S5, Sink: S6
Example
Return line boost
Output: R3, Source: S3, Sink: S4
Circulation – temperature-controlled
The switching output of the multi-function controller switches on as soon as the temperature falls below the preset setpoint temperature. If the temperature rises above the upper limit of the preset temperature range (hysteresis), the switching output switches off.
Example
Temperature-controlled Circulation
Output: R3, Sink: S6

Time-controlled Circulation
Output: R3

Solar boost (only grandis 600 SR)
With this function, the switching output of the multi-function controller is linked either to the solar control or to the “drain-back” function. If the solar control or drain-back function is active, the MFC will be switched on, and at the end of the adjustable runtime it will be switched off again. If the solar control is switched off during this time, the MFR will also be switched off. For the MFC to react again when switched on, the solar power system must be continuously off for at least a selected off period.
Linking is possible to:
Solar control
Drain Back
Solar redundancy (only grandis 600 SR)
If a flow fault is reported during this function, the switching output of the MFC will be switched on and it will run in parallel with the solar power system. If the flow fault is rectified within the specified runtime, the link will be cancelled and the MFC will stop. If the flow fault still exists when the runtime has ended, the MFC will be permanently linked to the solar power system. This will be indicated by a fault message. You can use “Reset” to reset the permanent link to the solar power system. This will also reset the fault message.
Solar redundancy
Mischer
Mit dieser Funktion können Sie eine Rücklaufanhebung mittels Mischer auf die berechnete maximale Vorlaufsolltemperatur der Heizkreise realisieren. Der Multifunktionsregler benutzt als Referenz je nach Einstellung die Heizungsvorlauftemperatur, die Warmwassersolltemperatur oder eine einstellbare Soll-Temperatur.
Beispielanwendung
Rücklaufanhebung mit Referenz die aktuell höchste Vorlaufsolltemperatur. Regeltemperatur „Heizen“ und Regelmodus “Vorlauf mit Freigabetemperatur”.
Der Mischer wird abhängig vom Sensor Quelle (Sy) und Sensor Senke (Sx) geregelt. Überschreitet die Quelle die Vorlaufsolltemperatur + Hysterese, ist die Funktion aktiv und der Mischer regelt auf die Vorlaufsolltemperatur + Hysterese.
Eine einstellbare Zieltemperatur als Referenz. Regeltemperatur „Festwert“ und Regelmodus “Rücklauf mit Freigabetemperatur”.
Der Mischer wird abhängig vom Sensor Quelle auf eine feste Zieltemperatur geregelt. Unterhalb der Zieltemperatur wir der Mischer zugefahren.
