Abstract
A modulating gas valve assembly includes a modulating gas valve to variably control a flow of gas through the gas valve assembly and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a valve memory storing a calibration table for the modulating gas valve, and a controller communicatively coupled to the peripheral component. The calibration table includes a plurality of control settings for the modulating gas valve, each control setting being associated with a different gas flow rate. The controller is programmed to receive a command to open the gas valve, and to control the gas valve to a target control setting in the calibration table adjusted in accordance with a valve offset.
