The control unit - the "brain of the system", controls the heater in real time. The control units are divided into internal (located inside the heater) and external (mounted outside). The control unit stores the history of the heater.
In the event of a malfunction of individual components, the control unit emergencyly shuts off the heater and issues an error code.
