1. Introduction

1.1 General description

The C^3 is a new compact CAREL electronic controller, measuring the size of a normal thermostat, for the complete management of chillers and heat pumps: it can control air-air, air-water, water-water and condensing units.

Main functions

  • Temperature control for air/air units, air/water-cooled chillers/heat pumps, with two circuits and up to 6 steps, with and without reversal on the water/refrigerant circuit;
    • condenser control in two circuits with up to 6 steps on air/water-cooled units, with and without reversal on the water/refrigerant circuit;
    • defrost management by time and/or by temperature or pressure;
  • fan speed control;
    • complete alarm management;
    • time band management;

Advanced functions

  • sliding defrost
  • functions to prevent high condensing pressure/temperature, low evaporator pressure/temperature, antifreeze
    • control
    • management of tandem, trio and semi-hermetic compressors
  • pump-down
  • part-winding start

Driver functions

• Electronic expansion valve management.

Devices controlled

  • Compressor;
  • condenser fans;
    • evaporator fan (air-source units)
  • reversing valve;
  • outlet fan (air-air);
  • antifreeze heater;
  • support heaters;
  • alarm signal device;

• water pumps for the evaporator and/or condenser (water-source units);

Programming

CAREL offers the possibility to configure all the unit parameters not only from the keypad on the front panel, but also using a hardware key or via a serial line.

1.2 User interface

pLD large terminal

The display has 4 digits plus decimal point. In normal operation, the value shown on the display corresponds to the temperature read by the control probe, for example the evaporator water inlet temperature (on water chillers) or alternatively the room temperature, on direct expansion units.

1.3 Programming procedure

1) press up or down
2) press Sel
3) enter the password using up or down
4) press Sel to confirm

If the password is correct, the parameters menu automatically appears; if the password is wrong, the value 0 is displayed.

Repeat the operation by repeating the procedure or press Prg to exit.

2. pGD0 terminal

The display covers 4 rows by 20 characters. In normal operation, the display shows the evaporator inlet and outlet temperatures, the unit status (ON/OFF) and the mode (cooling/heating).

The up and down buttons can be used to immediately enter in the user menu, set point, ON/OFF and COOLING/HEATING mode.

Entering the password in the screen following is possible enter in programming of all the parameters.

2.1 Passwords and levels of access

The user interface has the parameters organised into three distinct levels of access, each of which containing a different number of visible parameters: free access: access to the screens displaying the inputs and outputs, unit on/off, set point, enter password to access the protected parameters. user level: (password 22), all the free access parameters plus the main control parameters, maintenance parameters, alarms. manufacturer level: (password 66), complete access to the unit configuration parameters, from the type of devices controlled to the definition of the control parameters.

The parameters are organised by uniform groups accessible from specific sliding menus.

The following diagram shows the method for accessing the various groups of parameters and their layout.

From inside a group of parameters, pressing [Esc] moves the cursor to the sliding menu for selecting the parameters, pressing [Prog] moves to the main menu.

2.2 Type of connectors

The connectors and the cables can be purchased separately from CAREL (MCH3CON**) or directly from the manufacturers, Molex and Phoenix. For the crimping of the contacts use the special Molex tool code 69008-0724.

5. Connections

Assembly instructions

Maximum NTC/ratiometric probe connection cable length: 10 m

Maximum digital input connection cable length: 10 m

Maximum power output connection cable length: 5 m

Maximum fan control output connection cable length: 5 m

Maximum power cable length: 3 m

Power supply

A Class II safety transformer with a minimum rating of 50 VA must be used in the installation to supply just one chiller ^3 . The power supply to the chiller ^3P controller (or chiller ^3 controllers) should be separated from the power supply to the other electrical devices (contactors and other electromechanical components) inside the electrical panel. If the secondary of the transformer is earthed, make sure that the earth wire is connected to terminal G0. This is true for all the devices connected to the chiller ^3P .

IMPORTANT

A fuse must be fitted in series with the power supply, with the following characteristics: 250 Vac 2 A slow-blow (2 AT).

\*Direct current connection

Warning, for DC power supply, follow the instructions as shown in the following figure:

WARNINGS

  • when programming the parameters with the key, the controller must be disconnected from the power supply and any other devices;
  • the 24 Vdc available at the Vdc terminal can be used to supply an 4 to 20mA active probe; the maximum current is 100mA . The 5 Vdc available at the 5VR terminals can be used to supply to the 0 to 5V active ratiometric probes; the maximum total current is 50mA ;
  • for applications subject to strong vibrations (1.5 mm pk-pk 10/55 Hz), secure the cables connected to the chiller ^3 using clamps placed around 3 cm from the connectors;
  • for operation in domestic environments, shielded cables must be used (one wire + shield) for the tLAN connections (EN 55014-1);
  • if a single power transformer is used for the chiller ^3 and the options, to avoid damaging the controller, all the G0 pins on the various controllers or the boards must be connected to the same terminal on the secondary, and all the G pins to the other terminal on the secondary, resetting the polarity of G and G0 for all the terminals;
  • the system made up of the control board and the other optional boards represents a control device to be incorporated into class I or class II appliances.

Example of connection, as proposed by the default configuration.

Assembly for the version without the plastic case

The chiller ^3 should be installed on a 0.5 to 2 mm thick metal panel using the special spacers.

The electrical damage that occurs to electronic components is almost always due to electrostatic discharges caused by the operator. Consequently, suitable precautions must be taken when handling these components, in particular:

  • before handling any electronic component or board, touch an earthed object (avoiding contact with a component is not sufficient, as a 10,000 V discharge, a voltage that can easily be reached by static electricity, creates an arc of around 1 cm);
  • the materials must remain as long as possible inside their original packages. If necessary, remove the board from the packing and then place the product in antistatic packaging without touching the rear of the board;
    • always avoid using plastic, polystyrene or non-antistatic materials;
    • always avoid passing the board between operators (to avoid the phenomena of electrostatic induction and consequent discharges).
  • special care must be taken when fitting the optional boards on the main board, so as to avoid causing irreparable damage to the boards. Consequently, it is recommended to first secure the connection cables to the optional boards (using the plug-in terminals), and then insert the boards in the corresponding slots and finally secure the connection cables using cable clamps.

DRIVER ADRESSING IN pLAN NETWORK

The addressing of the EVD400 driver units that can be connected to the pLAN network must be set as following:

ADDRESS 2 -- > Circuit 1 Chiller Driver or Circuit 1 Bidirectional Driver

ADDRESS 3 -- > Circuit 1 Heat Pump Driver

ADDRESS 4 -- > Circuit 2 Chiller Driver or Circuit 2 Bidirectional Driver

ADDRESS 5 -- > Circuit 2 Heat Pump Driver

The driver should be configured using the serial addressing tool EVD4_UI Address that can be downloaded from CAREL website http://ksa.carel.com/.

For further details on the use of the Driver and its configuration please refer to the manual code +030220225.pdf (EVD4 - User manual)

Outputs used

Setting the control set point from the screen

The control set point can be set from the screen on the user interface.

Two distinct values need to be set, respectively for cooling and heating operation, if the unit features operation in chiller or heat pump mode.

Setting the remote analogue input set point

When enabling control of input B8 for the management of the remote set point, the setting made on the screen can be replaced with a set point calculated based on the 4 to 20 mA signal at the input to the board.

The lower and upper limits must be set for calculating the remote set point in cooling and/or heating operation.

Based on the 4 to 20 mA input signal, linear conversion will be performed between the end values set.

Remote set point for analogue input B8

The limits for calculating the remote set point will be the minimum and maximum values set for the corresponding password-protected parameter on set point screen.

Fig. 6.a

Time bands for varying the set point

By enabling control of the clock board, the management of 4 daily set point time bands can be configured.

Each time band features the start and end time and the associated set point.

When the time band starts, the active set point is replaced by the value set for the active time band, irrespective of whether the analogue input for the remote set point is activated.

Set point compensation for outside air temperature

The working set point can be adjusted according to the outside air temperature.

Normally this function is used in installations where greater priority is given to comfort; for example, in a shop where people enter and exit frequently, an excessive temperature difference between the inside and outside may be annoying to users and negative to their health.

This function increases or decreases the unit set point according to the outside temperature measured, adding an offset to set point set as described above that is directly proportional to the difference between the minimum and maximum limits.

The parameters for setting the operating limits are different for cooling and heating operation, without any restrictions regarding the setting of the limits for calculating the compensation offset.

6.1.1 Minimum outside temperature limit

Inputs used

- Outside air temperature [B7]

Parameters used

  • Enable analogue probe 7 Outside air temperature [-/-]
  • Outside temperature set point limit [r17]
  • Outside temperature differential limit [r18]

Outputs used

  • Compressor 1 circuit 1 [B29]
    Winding A compressor 1
  • Compressor 2 circuit 1 [B30]

  • Compressor 1 circuit 2. Winding A compressor 2 [B34]
  • Compressor 2 circuit 2. Winding B compressor 2 [B35]
  • Compressor 3 circuit 2 [B36]

If the probe for measuring the outside air temperature is enabled, a temperature threshold is activated below which the compressors are forced off. Temperature control only starts again when the outside air temperature is above the set point + a differential.

On units in chiller operation, this is done to prevent the operation of the unit in ambient conditions that would cause an excessively low condensing pressure.

On units in heat pump operation, this is done to prevent the operation of the unit in ambient conditions that would cause the rapid formation of frost on the outdoor exchanger. To disable the function, simply set the value of the control differential to 0.

The temperature control depends on the values measured by the temperature probe located at the evaporator inlet (air/water – water/water units), or by the room probe (air/air units), and follows proportional logic.

Depending on the total number of compressors configured and the number of load steps per compressor, the control band set will be divided into a number of steps of the same amplitude.

When the various thresholds are exceeded, a compressor or load step will be activated.

The following relationships are applied to determine of the activation thresholds:

Total number of control steps = Number of compressors + (Number of compressors * Number load steps/compressor).

Proportional step amplitude = Proportional control band / Total number of control steps

Step activation threshold = Control set point + (Proportional step amplitude * Progressive step [1,2,3,...]).

Temperature control is based on the temperature measured by probe B6 on units with one or two evaporators; in the latter the water temperature of mixture is used.

A temperature dead band is identified based on the set point and band.

Temperature values between the set point and set point + band (STPM < Temperature < STPM + RBM) will not switch any compressors On/Off.

Temperature values above set point + band (Temperature > STPM + RBM) will activate the compressors

Temperature values below the set point (Temperature < STPM) will deactivate the compressors

The compressor start/stop procedures are controlled by variable delay times.

With a differential set for calculating the delay time, the activation/deactivation of the devices is modulated according to the temperature measured.

Setting to 0 the minimum delay times upon an increase and/or decrease in the demand, disables the corresponding calculation functions.

A temperature threshold is envisaged, for both cooling operation and heating operation, below/above which the devices installed will in any case be stopped, in order to avoid excessive cooling/heating output produced by the unit.

7.2 Differential Temperature Control

• Evaporator outlet temperature

• Outside air temperature

• Room temperature (acqua terminal)

Parameters used

- Type of unit

• Total number of compressors

• Number of load steps

• Type of temperature control

• Proportional band for inlet control or Dead zone for outlet control

• Temperature difference (delta) between reference and controlled value.

Outputs used

- Liquid solenoid

- Compressor start relay

- Compressor capacity control relay

Description of operation

The temperature control differential is based on the difference between a reference temperature and a controlled temperature.

calculated = Reference temperature - Controlled temperature

The value calculated in this way is compared against the rated value.

Depending on the unit operating mode, cooling or heating, the following situations may occur.

CoolingHeating
calculated ≥ rated ---Compressors On
calculated ≤ rated Compressors On---

The purpose of this function is to maintain a constant temperature difference between two components in a system, with different thermal inertia, by acting on only one of the values measured.

The controlled temperature is defined as the component with the lower thermal inertia.

The reference temperature is defined as the component with the higher thermal inertia.

As the unit can operate in cooling or heating mode as selected from the screen on the user interface or by the digital input, if the reference temperature equals or exceeds the controlled temperature (i.e. opposite to the unit operating mode), the operation of the controller switches from error correction to amplification; consequently, the application of this type of control is designed for systems in which the variation in controlled values occurs within certain limits dictated by the operating mode of the active unit.

Control is proportional, according to the control band set.

The proportional control band is divided into a number of uniform steps, equal to the total number of compressors and load steps installed (as for inlet temperature control). The control set point is the rated temperature difference set.

The value controlled is the difference calculated between the reference temperature and the controlled temperature.

To select this type of control, a special parameter is provided that indicates which signal is used by the temperature control functions:

• Evaporator inlet-outlet control probe

- Reference temperature—Controlled temperature

  • Compressor 3 circuit 2. Liquid solenoid circuit 2 Compressor 2 capacity control (if Part-Winding enabled) [B36]

Description of operation

Condensing unit control involves the devices being called by a proportional voltage or current signal supplied by an external controller, or alternatively a series of electromechanical contacts via digital input. As the compressors are called by an external controller, the corresponding control probes and parameters are not used.

Control with analogue input

The signal acquired by analogue input B8 is 4 to 20mA.

There are two control modes: proportional or steps, these can be selected via the dedicated user parameter.

Proportional control

Below is a description of the operation of proportional control when a 4 to 20 mA analogue input is used.

The compressor requests depend on the analogue input B8, with continuous variation of the input signal, the board calculates the number of steps required based on the value of the signal:

Analogue input 4mA 0% request (no compressor on)

Analogue input 20mA 100% request (all the compressors on)

Total number of compressors = 6

Number of load steps per compressor = 0

Total number of steps = Total number of compressors + ( Total number of compressors * Number of load steps per compressor ) = 6 + 6 * 0 = 6 Amplitude of each step = Operating current range / Total number of steps = ( 20 - 4 ) / 6 = 2.666 mA

If the analogue input B8 measures 9.35 mA, two steps will be requested, therefore two compressors will be activated.

Two safety thresholds are calculated for the total activation or deactivation of the compressors, if exceeded.

These thresholds are calculated according to the following relationships.

Forced shutdown threshold = (Amplitude of each step / 2) + Analogue input lower end scale = (2.666 / 2) + 4 = 1.333 mA → 5.3 mA

Forced start threshold = Analogue input upper end scale - Forced shutdown threshold = 20 - 1.333 = 18.667 mA → 18.6 mA

If the reading of the analogue input B8 is less than the value of the forced shutdown threshold calculated, the devices will be stopped unconditionally.

If the reading of the analogue input B8 is greater than the value of the forced start threshold calculated, the devices will be started unconditionally.

Stepped control

Below is a description of the operation of stepped control steps when a 4 to 20 mA analogue input is used.

The compressor requests depend on the analogue input B8, using a current divider or equivalent circuit to supply precise signals that correspond to the activation or deactivation of the compressors and the relative load steps.

Analogue input 4 mA 100% request (all compressors on)

Analogue input 20 mA 0% request (no compressor on)

Total number of compressors = 6

Amplitude of each step = Operating current range / Total number of steps = (20 - 4) / 6 = 2.666 mA.

If analogue input B8 measures 14.65 mA, two steps will be required, and consequently two compressors will be started.

Control with digital inputs

A number of digital inputs equal to the number of compressors installed on the unit are provided to start the devices.

There is no direct correspondence between the digital input and the compressor on, however the number of inputs closed at the same time will determine the number of compressors that are on. The compressor activation sequence is in any case defined according to rotation, as enabled by the corresponding parameter.

Only in the case of units with six compressors in two refrigerant circuits, in trio configuration, is there an exception to the compressor control mode; digital inputs 4 and 18 activate two load steps in response to just one input signal.

Considering this characteristic, the cooling capacity of the unit can still be modulated by uniformly increasing the capacity one step at a time; the digital inputs must be switched in such a way as to ensure that the difference in the number of requests between two consecutive input control sequences is equal to one step.

The compressor calls are rotated so as to balance out the number of operating hours and starts of the devices.

There are three different types of rotation available:

• L.I.F.O.

• F.I.F.O.

- By time

- L.I.F.O. - F.I.F.O. - By time

Rotation is only performed between the compressors, and not between the capacity steps.

LIFO rotation

The first compressor to start will be the last to stop. The device activation sequence on a unit with 4 compressors is: C1, C2, C3, C4

The device deactivation sequence on a unit with 4 compressors is: C4, C3, C2, C1

FIFO rotation

The first compressor to start will be the first to stop. The device activation sequence on a unit with 4 compressors is: C1, C2, C3, C4.

The device deactivation sequence on a unit with 4 compressors is: C1, C2, C3, C4

Rotation by time

This type of rotation is based on the count of the device operating hours. The compressor with the least number of operating hours will always start first. The active compressor with the highest number of operating hours will always stop first.

The activation of one or more than one alarm that causes one or more compressors to shutdown requires the activation of an equivalent number of devices, from those available, so as to make up for the variation in active cooling capacity.

7.5 TANDEM - TRIO compressor rotation

Rotation between circuits

In the units with tandem or trio compressors in two refrigerant circuits, the circuit rotation described is incorporated into the rotation between compressors, for the purpose of balancing the quantity of oil in each.

Whenever the unit is started, and the compressors are completely off, rotation is performed that involves the alternating start-up of the two circuits.

Force tandem - trio compressors in FIFO rotation

For these types of compressors, the aim is to avoid the operation of circuits at part load for excessive periods (affecting the operation of the compressors that are off).

A maximum part load operating time has been introduced, after which the active compressor is stopped, and the demand is transferred to another compressor in the same circuit.

If no compressors are available when the exchange in condition occurs, the operation of the circuit remains unchanged.

The activation of an alarm on the compressor being forced on will involve a return to the previous operating conditions.

The count time for forcing the compressor on is reset whenever an alarm occurs in the circuit.

The pumpdown procedure is performed for the purpose of completely emptying the residual freon from the evaporator in a refrigerant circuit during shutdown.

The following conditions can cause a refrigerant circuit to shutdown:

Remote ON/OFF: unit shutdown from remote contact

ON/OFF from keypad: unit shutdown from display with specific procedure

ON/OFF from supervisor: unit shutdown on signal from supervisory system

Thermostat: circuit shutdown when temperature set point reached

The pumpdown procedure involves the operation of a certain circuit with the liquid solenoid valve de-energised (closed).

The pumpdown procedure ends when:

  • the low pressure transducer is activated, according to the set end pumpdown threshold
    • the low pressure switch is activated
    • the maximum time limit is reached

During the pumpdown procedure, the low pressure alarm, both from transducer and from pressure switch, is disabled.

7.8 Main pump management

Inputs used

  • Evaporator water flow switch [B12]
    • Evaporator pump 1 thermal overload [B14]
  • Evaporator pump 2 thermal overload [B28]

Parameters used

  • Number of evaporator pumps [-H-]
  • Evaporator pump/main fan operating mode [-H-]
  • Delay between start of pump/main fan and compressors [-c-]
  • Delay for stopping the pump/main fan [-c-]
  • ON time in burst operation [-H-]
  • OFF time in burst operation [-H-]

Outputs used

  • Evaporator pump 1 [B33]
  • Evaporator pump 2 [B36]

The main circulating pump can be managed in four different operating modes:

  • Always on: the pump is activated when the unit is started and remains active while the unit is operating; if there are two pumps, the devices will be rotated according to the specific settings
  • On according to the status of the compressor: the pump is on according to the compressor call status; consequently, when the set point has been reached, the circulating pump and compressors, excepting in the case of safety times, are off
  • Burst operation: normally the circulating pump is off, and is activated periodically for a set time; the unit temperature conditions are constantly monitored and the compressors are started if necessary; when the control set point is reached the pump is switched off
    • Always off: the main circulating pump is not managed, whatever the operating conditions of the unit

Two safety times are observed, respectively a compressor activation delay after the circulating pump starts, and pump shutdown delay after the compressors stop when having reached the control set point or the unit is shutdown.

7.9 Pump rotation

Inputs used

  • Evaporator water flow switch [B12]
  • Evaporator pump 1 thermal overload [B14]
  • Evaporator pump 2 thermal overload [B28]

Parameters used

• Number of evaporator pumps [-H-]
- Select type of evaporator pump rotation [-H-]
- Operating hour threshold for the rotation of the evaporator pumps [-H-]

Outputs used

  • Evaporator pump 1 [B33]
  • Evaporator pump 2 [B36]

If there are two circulating pumps on the unit, the operation of these can be rotated in the following modes:

• Rotation at start: when the unit is started, the operation of the pumps is rotated, so as to balance the number of starts-stops of the devices
- Rotation by time: a rotation time is established (expressed in hours), which when reached the devices are rotated, so as to balance the number of operating hours of the devices.

Control of the second circulating pump in any case involves forced rotation in the event of an alarm event of one of the devices, to ensure maximum continuity of operation.

Pump thermal overload alarm

If a thermal overload alarm is activated on the active circulating pump, the pump is stopped and the devices are rotated.

A further activation of the thermal overload alarm on the active reserve pump causes the total shutdown of the unit due to no other pump being available on power-up, and a new rotation is forced.

Evaporator flow switch alarm

The activation of the evaporator flow switch alarm forces the rotation of the devices and the activation of the reserve pump; in this condition, the alarm signal delay time in steady operation is re-activated, after which, with the alarm active, the unit is switched off.

Evaporator flow switch alarm/intervention

The evaporator flow switch intervention generates the EVAPORATOR FLOW SWITCH ALARM respecting the following time:

• Evaporator flow switch alarm delay at start-up
• Evaporator flow switch alarm delay in steady operation

If there are 2 evaporator pumps, the intervention of the flow switch causes the startup of the backup pump. If after the "Evaporator flow switch alarm delay at start-up" the flow switch signal is still present, the EVAPORATOR FLOW SWITCH ALARM occurs and the unit is turned off.

The compressors, after the startup of the backup pump, remain still ON for a delay time in steady operation.

Outputs used

  • Status of digital output 11. Heater 1 [B39]
  • Status of digital output 12. Heater 2 [B40]

Antifreeze heater

To prevent the activation of the antifreeze protection one or more electric heaters are used, immersed in the flow of water at the evaporator and controlled based on by a set point and differential. The activation of the antifreeze heater causes the total shutdown of the compressors, or in any case disables the cooling devices, until the temperature returns above the heater set point + differential.

Support heater in cooling

To prevent the activation of the minimum room temperature limit protection in air/air units, an electric heater is activated, immersed in the main air flow, controlled based on a set point and differential.

The activation of the support heater in cooling causes the total shutdown of the compressors, or in any case disables the cooling devices, until the temperature returns above the heater set point + differential.

SUPPORT HEATERS IN HEATING

Heating support function on water/air – water/water units

In units operating in heating mode with reversal on the refrigerant circuit, electric heaters (used in cooling mode as evaporator antifreeze heaters) are used to support the heating function, if the operation of the unit cannot satisfy the thermal load of the installation. These heaters are controlled based on the unit temperature control probe (inlet or outlet, according to the setting made), while two separate set points and differentials are set for the activation of the devices. In the event of control based on the temperature measured at the evaporator outlet, in units with one and two evaporators, the heaters will be controlled based on the values measured by analogue input B6.

Heating support function on air/air units

In units operating in heating mode with reversal on the refrigerant circuit, electric heaters are used to support the heating function, if the operation of the unit cannot satisfy the thermal load of the installation.

The user can set whether the heater is activated based on the room temperature or the outlet temperature.

The support heaters are managed by setting an activation delay time, calculated from when the circulating pump starts, so as to give the unit time to reach steady operation. Enabling the control set point compensation function will also cause the compensation of the heater set point, according to the same temperature difference calculated.

Boiler function

If the reading of analogue input B1 is enabled and configured as the boiler temperature, the operation of the heaters can be managed based on the outside temperature conditions and the water temperature in the storage cylinder.

Once having set a control set point and differential for both readings, the support heaters will be activated based on the control temperature measured (inlet or outlet, according to the specific setting) in reference to specific set points and differentials, only if the outside temperature conditions and boiler conditions allow.

7.11 Selecting the operating mode

Inputs used

- Select cooling/heating from digital input [B25]

Parameters used

  • Configure type of unit [-H-]
  • Cooling/Heating from panel [main]
  • Enable cooling/heating selection from digital input [H2]
  • Enable cooling/heating selection from supervisor [H4]
  • Select cooling/heating from supervisor
  • Logic of the 4-way reversing valve [-H-]
  • Force devices OFF for automatic reversal of the refrigerant circuit [-H-]

Outputs used

• 4-way valve for reversing the refrigerant circuit in circuit 1 [B41]
• 4-way valve for reversing the refrigerant circuit in circuit 2 [B42]

In general, if the unit configured features operation in both chiller mode (cooling) and heat pump mode (heating), the operating mode can be changed with the unit on or off, depending on the type of selection.

There are three different ways to change the operating mode:

Keypad: a parameter is set on the menu. The operating mode can only be changed if the unit is off and the circulating pump has stopped

Supervisor: this can be enabled, with a switching signal received from the supervisor serial network. The operating mode can only be changed if the unit is off and the circulating pump has stopped

Digital input: this can be enabled, with the switching of the enabled digital input, by an external controller. A delay must be set for switching the reversing valves in the refrigerant circuit, if equal to zero the mode is switched immediately, otherwise the unit is switched off according to the procedure shown in the figure

If control of the clock board is enabled, and the board is fitted and operating, the program can control 4 different types of time band, with separate application on each day of the week.

The time bands set only take effect if the unit has been switched on from the button.

Band 1

Four values are set, respectively the start and end times for two periods, within which the unit is on.

Condenser-evaporator on/off linked to compressor operation

The operation of the fans will be slaved exclusively to the operation of the compressors:

Compressor off = fan off

Compressor on = fan on

No pressure or temperature transducers need to be installed

On/off condenser-evaporator operation linked to the pressure or temperature sensor reading

The operation of the fans will be slaved to the operation of the compressors and the value read by the pressure or temperature sensors, according to a set point and band, with proportional control.

In cooling operation, when the pressure/temperature is less than or equal to the set point, all the fans will be off; when the pressure/temperature rises to the set point + band, all the fans will be on.

In heating operation, when the pressure/temperature is greater than or equal to the set point, all the fans will be off; when the pressure/temperature falls to the set point - band, all the fans will be on.

The control band is divided into a uniform number of steps, equal to the number of fans installed for the circuit in question.

Single or separate condensers/evaporators can be chosen; with single coils, the fans will be controlled by the higher/lower pressure/temperature, with the second separate coil, each pressure sensor/temperature controls its own fan or group of fans.

Modulating condenser-evaporator operation linked to the pressure or temperature sensor reading

The fans will be controlled by a 0 to 10 V or PWM analogue output, in proportion to the request from the pressure / temperature sensors.

Single or separate condensers/evaporators can be chosen; with single coils, the fans will be controlled by the higher/lower pressure/temperature, with the second separate coil, each pressure sensor/temperature controls its own fan or group of fans.

With reference to the previous graph:

o pressure/temperature values between STPC and STPC+RBC cause the modulation of the condenser fan speed with proportional control between the minimum and maximum voltage set
o pressure/temperature values between STPC and STPC-OFFD cause the operation of the condenser fans at the minimum speed set
o pressure/temperature values below STPC-OFFD cause the total shutdown of the fans and the analogue output signal is set to 0 Volt. A fixed hysteresis of 0.5 bar or 1.0°C is featured to prevent swings in the controlled value around the threshold STPC-OFFD from causing repeated starts and stops of the controlled devices.

In the activation phase with increasing pressure/temperature, as soon as the value exceeds the threshold STPC-OFFD, the fan is operated at maximum speed for a period equal to the set speed-up time.

If condenser control is based on the condenser temperature reading, when the liquid solenoid valve opens (refrigerant circuit activated), if the outside air temperature is above STPC-OFFD, the fan is operated at maximum speed for a period equal to the set speed-up time.

This function aims to prevent high pressure in the refrigerant circuit when starting the compressors, caused by an incorrect measurement of the condenser temperature due to the thermal inertia of the control probe.

In heat pump operation, the previous observations concerning cooling operation are still valid; the function simply operates in the diametrically opposite manner, given the different unit operating mode.

7.15 Prevent function

This function can be enabled in the manufacturer branch, and prevents the circuits from being shutdown due to a high pressure alarm. When the compressors are on, once reaching the set threshold, the capacity of the compressor is controlled until the pressure returns below or above the set point by a set differential, in cooling or heating mode respectively.

When the compressors are off, once having reached the set threshold, the fans are started at maximum speed until the pressure returns to acceptable values for the operation of the unit.

In units with tandem or trio hermetic compressors, the prevent function stops one of the active compressors, performing a rotation so as to shutdown a different device each time.

The compressor shutdown procedure is repeated whenever the pressure/temperature exceeds the set prevent threshold, or alternatively waits a fixed time of 10 seconds with high/low pressure before repeating the shutdown. The procedure stops when reaching the minimum number of devices on per circuit. In units with capacity-controlled semi-hermetic compressors, the prevent function activates the load steps, with the aim of preventing the compressor from shutting down.

7.16 Low noise function

This function is used to reduce the noise generated by the unit, due to the condenser/evaporator fans, at specific times.

Once the start and end times have been defined for the Low Noise function, the unit control set point will be modified in such period by a set value.

A set point is defined for cooling operation and another for heating operation, applied according to the set time band, in relation to the operating mode that is active on the unit.

Setting the same start and end times disables the function.

7.17 Start with hot condenser

This function only applies to air/water units in cooling operation with condenser control based on the temperature of the coil.

When activating a refrigerant circuit, if the temperature measured at the condenser is above 20.0^ C (when starting, the condenser temperature corresponds to the outside air temperature), the condenser fans are forced on at the maximum speed for a time equal to the set forcing time when starting.

7.19 Types of defrost

Simultaneous

Only one circuit needs a defrost request (temperature/pressure below the start defrost threshold) for all the circuits to be forced to defrost. The circuits which do not require defrosting (temperature/pressure above the end defrost threshold) stop and go to standby; as soon as all the circuits end their defrost cycle the compressors can start again in heat pump operation.

Separate

The circuits are defrosted separately by the circuits. The first circuit that requires defrosting starts the procedure, while the others wait for the end defrost (heat pump operation) before reversing the cycle and sequentially performing the defrost.

7.20.1 Description of operation

If the temperature/pressure of a coil remains continuously below the start defrost threshold for the defrost delay time set, the circuit in question will start a defrost cycle:

• the compressor/compressors in the circuit stop for a set time
• the refrigerant circuit is reversed using the 4-way valve after a set delay
- the fan in question is switched off (if the pressure probes are present, the high condensing pressure prevention function will be active)

If the compressor off time at start and end defrost is set to 0, then the 4-way reversing valve is switched with the compressors on.

The circuit exits the defrost cycle if the temperature/pressure exceeds the end defrost threshold, or after a maximum time, if the defrost cycle exceeds the maximum set threshold time.

7.20.2 Start defrost threshold automatic (sliding defrost)

In the event of very low outside temperatures, the pressure or temperature of the evaporator (outdoor exchanger) may fall below the start defrost threshold, even when there is no actual frost on the heat exchanger. In this case, a procedure has been implemented for automatically calculating the start defrost threshold, based on the outside air temperature probe reading.

The purpose of this function is to avoid unneeded defrosts due to outside conditions that are nonetheless favourable for heat pump operation, despite the low air temperature.

The user can thus set, in addition to the start defrost set point, an even lower threshold can be set that corresponds to the minimum temperature or pressure value for performing the defrost, thus avoiding the unit stopping due to low pressure. Within this interval, the start defrost threshold varies depending on the outside temperature, compensated proportionally. In this case too, a start compensation threshold and a limit threshold (minimum allowed) are used to lower the start defrost threshold within acceptable values and according to a certain proportionality.

7.20.3 Start and end defrost mode

Two distinct start and end defrost modes can be defined by suitably combining the settings of two parameters.

In particular, the values that determine the start and end defrost can be selected:

o Start-end by temperature: condenser temperature probe readings
o Start-end by pressure: condensing pressure probe readings
Start by pressure – end by temperature: condenser temperature probe reading for start defrost and fan control throughout the defrost phase, condenser temperature probe reading to end the procedure

The end defrost can also be selected as follows:

o Time : the defrost only ends when reaching the maximum time
o Pressure/temperature : the defrost ends when reaching the set end defrost thresholds, or alternatively after the maximum time

7.20.4 Dripping

The coil dripping phase is the period in which, with the refrigerant circuit in heating mode and the compressors off, the heat of the accumulated on the exchanger is exploited to remove any condensate.

This phase occurs at the end of the defrost cycle, from when the compressors stop to when the 4-way reversing valve switches to heat pump mode.

7.21 Defrosting a circuit with control from external contact

The activation / deactivation of the defrost cycle depends on the status an external contact, controlled by a differential pressure switch or outside temperature thermostat for the circuit in question.

For this purpose, the analogue input used to measure the temperature of the condenser coil will be used as a digital input for reading of the status of the pressure switch.

A voltage-free contact is thus required, which, if open, starts the defrost procedure, vice-versa if closed.

For this type of procedure the duration is also monitored and compared against the maximum time set.

7.22 Manual defrost

A circuit can also be defrosted manually using of a specific parameter with manufacturer password protection.

Based on the type of defrost configured (simultaneous or separate), the circuits can be defrosted at the same time or separately.

The manual defrost follows the settings of the normal defrost, as described in the previous paragraphs.

Outputs used

Operation

On reverse-cycle water/water units, the defrost is performed using electric heaters immersed in the flow of water in the cooling coil.

7.24 Activating a defrost cycle

A configuration parameter is available for setting the measurement used to control the activation of the defrost, temperature or pressure; the threshold below which the defrost procedure starts then needs to be set.

The temperature or pressure must remain below this threshold for a continuous time equal to set defrost activation delay before the procedure can start.

In the event of consecutive defrosts on the same refrigerant circuit, the times between defrosts on the same circuit and between different circuits are also monitored, the latter applied only in the event of separate defrosts.

7.25 Running a defrost

The defrost phase is performed by switching off the compressors and activating the defrost heaters with the circulating pump on. The duration of the defrost cycle is monitored from the activation of the heaters and compared against the minimum threshold set; irrespective of pressure or temperature values measured, the defrost cannot end before the set time.

7.26 Ending a defrost cycle

Two parameters are available for setting the type of measurement controlled and the end defrost mode.

Based on the selection, pressure or temperature, a threshold must be set above which the defrost procedure ends.

The end defrost can be selected by maximum time or maximum time and temperature/pressure; in the latter mode the duration of the defrost cycle is monitored and compared against the maximum value set, once the maximum time threshold is exceeded the defrost ends immediately.

9.2 Type of alarm reset

The reset mode can be set for some of the alarms listed in the table, choosing between automatic and manual:

o Compressor thermal overload
o Fan thermal overload
o Low pressure from transducer and/or pressure switch
o High pressure from transducer and/or pressure switch

If automatic reset is selected, a maximum number of events with automatic reset and maximum period of validity can be set, with the time counted from the activation of the first alarm.

If after this period the maximum number of repeats of a certain event is not reached, the timer is reset and the next alarm will start a new count.

If the maximum number N of repeats set is reached within the set time, then the next event (N+1) will be with manual reset, requiring the operator to intervene to restore the operation of the unit.

If manual reset is set, then each alarm event requires the intervention of the operator to restore the operation of the unit.

9.3 Alarm log

The alarm log is included to save the fundamental unit operating values in response to certain events.

9.4 Flow switch alarm

Inputs used

  • Air flow switch (air/air units) [B12]
    Evaporator water flow switch

Parameters used

• Number of evaporator pumps [-H-]
- Evaporator flow switch alarm delay at start-up [P1]
• Evaporator flow switch alarm delay in steady operation [P2]

Outputs used

  • Evaporator pump 1 [B33]
  • Evaporator pump 2 [B36]
  • Generic alarm [B38]

The evaporator flow switch alarm disables the operation of the unit if there is no water or air in the main exchanger, so as to prevent dangerous operating conditions with the compressors on and no water or air flow.

In Air/water or Water/water units, if control of the second circulating pump is enabled, as the flow switch alarm will cause the rotation of the pump in operation, the program will attempt to recover the situation by starting the reserve device.

The alarm management features two delay times before activation:

  • when the water circuit is first started
  • when the unit is in steady operation

The activation of the reserve pump to restore an alarm situation resets the delay in steady operation, after which any new alarm condition will cause the unit to shut down due to a serious water flow problem.

In general, with the reserve circulating pump enabled, the flow switch alarm can be activated two times in a row, after which the unit is switched off due to the alarm.

9.5 Circulating pump thermal overload alarm

Inputs used

  • Evaporator pump 1 thermal overload [B14]
  • Evaporator pump 2 thermal overload [B28]

Parameters used

- Number evaporator pumps [-H-]

Outputs used

  • Evaporator pump 1 [B33]
  • Evaporator pump 2 [B36]
  • Generic alarm [B38]

The circulating pump thermal overload alarm disables the operation of the device, causing the unit to shutdown immediately, so as to prevent dangerous operating conditions with the compressors on and no water flow.

If control of the second circulating pump is enabled, as the thermal alarm will cause the rotation of the pump in operation, the program will attempt to recover the situation by starting the reserve device. Should there also be a thermal overload alarm on this device too, the unit will shutdown immediately.

In general, if in response to a thermal overload alarm a different pump cannot be started as support, the unit is switched off.

9.6 Condenser fan thermal overload alarm

Inputs used

  • Condenser fan 1 thermal overload circuit 1 [B19]
  • Condenser fan 2 thermal overload circuit 1 (1 condenser) [B24]
    • Condenser fan 2 thermal overload circuit 1 (2 condensers, 4 fans) [B26]
  • Condenser fan 1 thermal overload circuit 2 (2 condensers) [B24]
  • Condenser fan 2 thermal overload circuit 2 (2 condensers, 4 fans) [B27]

Parameters used

• Number of condensers installed [-F-]
- Total number of fans installed [-F-]

Outputs used

  • Fan 1 circuit 1 [B32]
  • Fan 2 circuit 1 [B31]
  • Fan 2 circuit 1 (single condenser) [B37]
  • Fan 1 circuit 2 (2 condensers) [B37]
  • Fan 2 circuit 2 [B36]

The purpose of an individual thermal overload alarm is to prevent the operation of the corresponding device.

The alarm affects the operation of the refrigerant circuit in different ways.

In general, if in a certain refrigerant circuit, due to one or more alarms the condenser fans are no longer available, then the compressors are also switched off, thus stopping the circuit, so as to avoid dangerous situations of high pressure in the condenser.

9.7 Antifreeze alarm

The activation of the antifreeze alarm is based on a set point and differential; if the water temperature falls below the set point, the compressors are stopped immediately, while the pump remains on to prevent the formation of ice.

The devices can only be restarted if the water temperature rises above the alarm set point + differential.

The set point for the antifreeze alarm is limited by minimum and maximum values, protected by manufacturer password, so as to prevent the values being set at dangerous extreme unit operating conditions.

The alarm reset can be defined as manual or automatic:

Manual reset: the activation of the antifreeze protection is delayed by a set time (in minutes) from when the unit starts, to allow the unit time to move the water and reach steady operation; the alarm causes the devices to shutdown as described and requires the operator to reset the unit from the user terminal; the unit will only restart if the temperature has returned above the alarm set point + differential.

Automatic reset: the activation of the antifreeze protection causes the devices to shutdown as described, and does not require any action by the operator to reset the operation of the unit; as soon as the temperature rises above the alarm set point + differential, the unit will restart automatically.

A start-up configuration can be defined for the devices in the event of antifreeze alarms when the unit is off.

This function applies only to air/water and water/water units, with the following options:

DISABLED: the function is disabled, consequently no load switches in response to an antifreeze alarm

HEAT & PUMP ON: in response to an antifreeze alarm, the antifreeze heater and the circulating pump are started

HEAT & UNIT ON: in response to an antifreeze alarm, the antifreeze heater and the entire unit are started in heat pump mode, if operation in heating mode is featured

HEATER ONLY ON: in response to an antifreeze alarm, the antifreeze heater/heaters are started.

WARNINGS

  • when programming the parameters with the key, the controller must be disconnected from the power supply and any other devices;
  • the 24 Vdc available at the Vdc terminal can be used to supply an 4 to 20mA active probe; the maximum current is 100mA . The 5 Vdc available at the 5VR terminals can be used to supply to the 0 to 5V active ratiometric probes; the maximum total current is 50mA ;
  • for applications subject to strong vibrations (1.5 mm pk-pk 10/55 Hz), secure the cables connected to the chiller3 using clamps placed around 3 cm from the connectors;
  • for operation in domestic environments, shielded cables must be used (one wire + shield) for the tLAN connections (EN 55014-1);
  • If a single power transformer is used for the chiller3 and the options, to avoid damaging the controller, all the G0 pins on the various controllers or the boards must be connected to the same terminal on the secondary, and all the G pins to the other terminal on the secondary, resetting the polarity of G and G0 for all the terminals;
  • the system made up of the control board and the other optional boards represents a control device to be incorporated into class I or class II appliances.
