Introduction

A modular controller helps heat pumps run smoother, longer, and far more efficiently.

<h2 class=Introduction

Heat pumps work well on paper, but real homes and test setups often behave differently. Small changes in flow rate, buffer-tank temperature, or valve timing can shift performance a lot. The GOcontroll Moduline M1 gives installers and R&D teams a compact, modular platform that improves control across the whole system. It reads temperatures, manages pumps, adjusts valves, and coordinates storage, which leads to smoother cycles and better efficiency every day.

A Modular Platform for Smarter Hydronics

Real-Time Temperature Feedback for Better Efficiency

Intelligent Pump and Valve Control

The controller triggers output modules that switch motors, pumps, valves, and heaters with precise timing. Because the logic runs directly on the hardware, response times stay fast.
The system can:

  • Increase or reduce pump speed for better delta-T
  • Switch buffer-tank flow paths
  • Run anti-short-cycle protection
  • Prioritize domestic hot water when needed
  • Activate auxiliary heaters only at optimal moments
    These steps create a more efficient and predictable heat-pump system.

Smarter Use of Energy and Storage

Clear Dashboards With Node-RED

Node-RED is preinstalled on the controller. It offers easy dashboards that show:

  • Temperatures at key points
  • Pump states and valve positions
  • Energy flows
  • Buffer-tank conditions
  • COP-related indicators
  • Historical charts and profiles
    Because these dashboards run in any browser, installers and researchers can adjust settings quickly. They can also log data for R&D work or long-term performance studies.
