- Mixing Valve Controller
The function block Mixing Valve Controller can be used to control common mixing valve types.
This makes it possible to control the flow temperature in heating systems or similar applications in ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Mixing valves or actuators can be controlled with two digital outputs for opening and closing, or with an analog value of 0-10.
The setpoint and actual temperature are connected to the block's inputs.
The PI controller of the block calculates the necessary mixing position based on the deviation between the setpoint and actual value, and controls the outputs accordingly.
For applications where cooling is required, the block can be switched to an inverted mode.
