The following image shows, within the OpenTherm page of the RegConfig, the position of the System Cascade control Algorithm section (red) and the Buffer tank Compensation Temperature section (blue), closely related to the PID cascade algorithm:

The cascade algorithm can be of three types:
...
Enabled OpenTherm generators are those generators that have a number (which can range from 1, highest priority, to 8, lowest priority) in the Generators section (highlighted in green) on the OpenTherm page and not OFF in the box corresponding to the “Heat/Cool” column. The number indicates the priority of the call, so in the image below G1 and G3 generators have priority 1 (they are called first), while G2 has priority 2 and G4 priority 3:
...
Warning
Do not use G0 as it is the OpenTherm generator used with the DOT product, not with the REG system, therefore it is never considerate in the cascade logic.
...
The result of the settings made is displayed at the top right of the OpenTherm “Generator Demand Status” page:
PHOTO TBD
Enable/set Heating: if the square is ticked, this means that there is a request to the generators and in the rectangle on the right is indicated the required set point. For heat pumps, the set point is either heating or cooling. If the square is not ticked and the set point is zero, this means that no demand is coming from the circuits to OpenTherm.
Enable/Set DHW: if the square is ticked, this means there is a request to the generators and in the rectangle on the right is indicated the required set point for the production of Domestic Hot Water. If the square is not ticked and the set point is zero, this means that no demand is coming from the circuits or the DHW page to OpenTherm.
N. active generators (cascade): indicate how many generators have been activated for the cascade in heating or cooling (not for DHW production).
The last rectangle at the bottom (yellow box) is the countdown of the Stop between changes in hundredths of a second.

Always referring to the image in the Generators section of the OpenTherm page:

si fa presente quanto segue:
...
Nella parte inferiore della pagina OpenTherm si riporta per ogni generatore il risultato delle richieste di riscaldamento e ACS (riquadro rosso) e il feedback dai generatori verso il sistema REG (giallo):

Evidenziato in rosso si trova:
...
A parità di priorità l’accensione segue l’ordine numerico dei generatori per la prima accensione, mentre per le successive accensioni i generatori vengono fatti ruotare:

Quindi nell’esempio sopra riportato alla prima accensione l’ordine sarà:
