Sauna Controller

Sauna controller without Evaporator
With this Function Block a sauna can be optimally automated.
All standard Sauna heaters can be controlled (switching of the heating elements, as well as analog control via 0-10 V signal).
Also integrated in the module is an hourglass function, fan and post-drying, as well as a safety shutdown, if you forget to switch off the heater.

Application

With this program module a sauna can be optimally automated. All common sauna stoves can be controlled (Switching of the heating elements, as well as analog control via 0-10V signal). Also integrated in the module is an hourglass function, fan and post-drying, as well as a safety shutdown, if you forget to switch off the heater. In addition, the sauna module can be operated via the user interface and, therefore, also while on the move. Observe the safety regulations and legal regulations of the respective country.


Basic Programming

The sauna temperature sensor is linked to input (ϑc).

The output (So) and the phase outputs (L1-3) are used to connect the respective outputs. If the sauna heater requires only one phase, use (L1). The fan is connected to output (Fan).

Phase outputs (L1-3) are pulse-width modulated by the controller to emulate an analog value. For example, a value of 20% means that the outputs are on for 20% of the period and off for 80%.


No Remanence

For security reasons, the block has no remanence.
Therefore, it is always switched off after a Miniserver restart.
