There are parameters that are available to set 
the features for Lead Lag.  
 
Many of the descriptions used are internal 
functions or tables.  The names help define the 
functions but are not controlled or selectable 
outside Sola, unless noted as a parameter.

PPLICATION 
 
Sola devices contain the ability to be a stand 
alone control, operate as a Lead Lag Master 
control which also uses the Sola control function 
as one of the slaves or to operate solely as a 
slave to the lead lag system. Conceptually it is 
not a part of that specific control, but is an entity 
that is "above" all of the individual Sola controls 
(including the one that hosts it). The master 
sees each slave (including the one that hosts it) 
as a set of Modbus devices, each having certain 
registers, and in this regard it is entirely a 
communications bus device, talking to the slave 
Sola controls via Modbus. 
 
Sola devices utilize two ‘ModBus™’ ports (MB1 
and MB2) for communications. One port will be 
designated to support a system S7999B display 
and the other port will support communications 
from the LL Master with its slaves. The diagram 
on page 4 shows a simplified wiring diagram 
connecting the system display with a 4 system 
Lead Lag arrangement. 
 
The Lead Lag master is a software service that 
is hosted by a Sola control. 
 
The LL master uses a few of the host Sola's 
sensors (header temperature and outdoor 
temperature) and also the STAT electrical inputs 
in a configurable way, to provide control 
information.

PERATION
 
 
The LL master coordinates the firing of its slave 
Solas. To do this it must add stages and drop 
them to meet changes in load, and it sends firing 
rate commands to those that are firing. 
 
The LL master turns the first stage on and 
eventually turns the last stage off using the 
same criteria as for any modulation control loop.  
When the operating point reaches the Setpoint 
minus the On hysteresis, then the first Sola is 
turned on.  When the operating point reaches 
the Setpoint plus the Off hysteresis then the last 
slave Sola (or all slave Solas) are turned off. 
 
The LL master PID operates using a percent 
rate that is, 0% is a request for no heat at all, 
and 100% means firing at the maximum 
modulation rate. 
 
This firing rate sent to the slaves as a 
percentage, but this is apportioned to the slave 
Solas according to the rate allocation algorithm 
selected by the Rate allocation method 
parameter. 
 
For some algorithms this rate might be common 
to all slave Solas that are firing. For others it 
might represent the total system capacity and be 
allocated proportionally. 
 
For example, if there are 4 slaves and the LL 
master's percent rate is 30%, then it might 
satisfy this by firing all four slaves at 30%, 
Or 
by operating the first slave at 80% (20% of the 
system’s capacity) and a second slave at 40% 
(10% of the system’s capacity). 
 
The LL master may be aware of slave Sola’s 
minimum firing rate and use this information for 
some of its algorithms, but when apportioning 
rate it may also assign rates that are less than 
this. In fact the add-stage and drop-stage 
algorithms may assume this and be defined in 
terms of theoretical rates that are possibly lower 
than the actual minimum rate of the Sola control. 
In any case a Sola that is firing and is being 
commanded to fire at less than its minimum 
modulation rate will operate at its minimum rate: 
this is a standard behavior for a Sola control in 
stand-alone (non-slave) mode. 
 
If any slave under LL Master control is in a Run-
Limited condition, then for some algorithms the 
LL master can apportion to that stage the rate 
that it is actually firing at. 
 
Additionally when a slave imposes its own Run-
limited rate this may trigger the LL 
 
Master to add a stage, if it needs more capacity,
