Do you know the difference between a configurable and a fully programmable HVAC controller?
A typical configurable controller, and with a configurable controller, the program is fixed and unchangeable and is set up for you to change the set points. In this case, this is a VCCX2 controller for an AAON unit. It's programmed to perform a specific sequence with the flexibility of entering set points, such as Supply air temp, suction temperature, OA humidity dehumidification set points, and your basic heating and cooling points.
In contrast, a fully programmable controller starts as a blank slate. We write the program based on the sequence of operations required to achieve the application design intent regarding space temperature, humidity, and/or Building pressure.
This allows for complete control and flexibility when it comes to modulating and turning on and off the components of the HVAC unit.
Typical applications requiring a fully programmable controller are indoor agriculture, such as CANNABIS grow rooms, surgery suites, data centers, other mission-critical applications, and some hospitality and natatorium applications.
