Alternatively, the supervisor can directly supply the dewpoint value
(Sdp) using the serial probes (see parameter /Fn). The glass temperature
probe (Svt) may be connected directly to each controller (see parameter
/FM), or estimated. The estimate of the glass temperature probe
reading is performed internally when: ambient temperature (SA), outlet
temperature (Sm) and intake temperature (Sr) are available, and depends
on parameters rHA, rHb and rHS. Parameters rHo, rHd and rHL determine
the modulating output.

If one of the probes is not available (SA or either Sm or Sr), only fi xed
activation control will be possible, based on parameters rHu and rHt.

The output used by default is output PWM2 (terminal 19), however this
can be changed to other analogue outputs using VPM. The actuator can
be selected between anti-sweat heaters or fan with inductive motor
using parameter rHL. If the load is resistive (rHL=0), the period is fi xed at
24 s and the ON time depends on the PI algorithm. The output is adapted
to control an SSR (solid state relay). If the load is inductive (rHL=1) there is
no period and the output is modulated continuously by the PI algorithm.
In this case, the output is adapted for the MCHRTF phase control modules
(see paragraph 2.7).
The percentage of activation (OUT) for anti-sweat heater control depends
on the diff erence between the dewpoint calculated and the value read
by the glass temperature probe, the value of parameter rHo (off set) and
the value of parameter rHd (diff erential), as shown in the following fi gure.
The CUTOFF is a constant equal to 5 °C and the hysteresis is 1 °C.

The action is proportional only if the estimate of the glass temperature
is used, and proportional and integral (Tint=240 s, constant) if the actual
glass temperature probe is used. The aim of the integral action is to bring
the glass temperature towards the set point (Sdp+rHo).
Important: if the serial probes from the supervisor are used for
the propagation of the ambient temperature and humidity
values, MPXPRO has four auxiliary variables that save the last
useful value available for 30 minutes. This may be useful in the event of a
supervisor power failure. Alarms due to probes without updated values
are therefore normally shown on start-up, when these variables have not
yet been initialised.
Fixed activation control (manual control)
Control depends only on parameters rHu and rHt and follow the trend
shown in the fi gure.
