1 CONTENTS
This manual provides installation, setup and troubleshooting information for the control panel for Air Cooled Chillers with screw compressor.
Any operational description contained in this manual is based on control software ver. ASDU01C and following revisions.
Chiller operating characteristics and menu selections may vary with other versions of control software. Contact Daikin for software update information
1.1. Installation Precautions
Warning
Electric shock hazard. It can cause personal injury or equipment damage. This equipment must be properly grounded. Connections and service of the control panel must be performed only by personnel that are knowledgeable in the operation of the equipment being controlled.
Caution
Static sensitive components. A static discharge while handling electronic circuit boards can cause damage to the components. Discharge any static electrical charge by touching the bare metal inside the control panel before performing any service work. Never unplug any cables, circuit board terminal blocks, or power plugs while power is applied to the panel.
1.2. Temperature and Humidity considerations
The controller is designed to operate within an ambient temperature range of -40^ to +65^ with a maximum relative humidity of 95% (non-condensing).
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Control panel contains a microprocessor based controller which provides all monitoring and control functions required for the safe, efficient operation of the Chiller. The operator can monitor all operating conditions by using the built in panel 4 line by 20 character display and a 6 keys keypad or using an additional remote semi-graphical display or an IBM compatible computer running a compatible Daikin monitor software.
If a fault condition develops, the controller will shut the system down and activate an alarm output. Important operating conditions at the time when an alarm condition occurs is retained in the controller's memory to aid in troubleshooting and fault analysis.
The system is protected by a password scheme, which allows access only by authorized personnel. The operator must enter a password into the panel keypad before any configuration may be altered.

4. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The modular architecture is based on the use of the ASDU01C Series control.
In particular, a base controller (large version, built-in display, or, optionally, semi graphical additional display) is used to control the basic unit functions and to manage the first two compressors; a second controller (large version) is used to manage the third and fourth compressor if they are present.
Several, up to four for each controller, controller expansion board are used to add optional features to the control.
Drivers for electronic expansion valve are foreseen as an optional feature.
The overall architecture is shown in fig. 1

This device needs to be addressed to ensure correct communication with controller via RS485 protocol. Addressing microswitches are placed nearby status leds (refer to key ⑥ in figure 5). Once the address is correctly set the expansion could be linked to ASDU01C board. The correct connection is achieved connecting J23 pin on ASDU01C with J3 pin on the expansion board (note that expansion board connector is different from the controller one, but wires must be placed in the same positions of connectors). Expansion boards are only I/O extensions for the controller and don’t need any software.

4.5. Addressing of pLan/RS485
To get the correct functionality of the pLAN net system, is necessary to address correctly all the installed components. Each component, as previously described, has a series of microswitch that must be settled as specified in the following table.

4.6. Software
A unique control software is installed on both ASDU01C controllers (if two are present), the unit controller is directly recognized on the basis of the pLAN address.
No software is installed on pCO ^e boards and on EEXV drivers (a factory-installed software is used).
A pre-configuration procedure is available in each ASDU01C controller to recognize the whole network hardware configuration; the configuration is stored in the controller in a permanent memory and an alarm is generated if the hardware configuration would change during the operation (network or boards faults or added boards).
The pre-configuration procedure will automatically start at the first bootstrap of the unit (after the software is installed); it is possible to activate it manually (network refresh) if network configuration changes, either if an expansion is permanently removed or if a new expansion is linked after the first software bootstrap.
Changes in the network configuration without network refresh will generate alarms, either if an expansion is removed (or faulted) or if a new expansion is added.
The configuration of functions requiring expansion boards are allowed only if expansion boards have been recognized in the network configuration.
Network refresh is required in case of a substitution of a ASDU01C controller.
Network refresh is not required in case of a substitution of a fault expansion board already used in the system.
4.6.1. Version identification
To identify unambiguously the software class and version (also with respect to other Daikin control software) a string made of four fields is used:
| C | C | C | F | M | M | m |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
A three-digit literal field (C_1C_2C_3) to identify the class of units for which the software is usable
The first digit C_1 is for chillers cooling type and will assume the following values:
- A : for air cooled chillers
- W : for water cooled chiller
The second digit C_2 is for compressor type and will assume the following values:
- S : for screw compressors
- R : for reciprocating compressors
- Z : for scroll compressors
- C : for centrifugal compressors
- T : for turbocor compressors
The third digit C_3 is for evaporator type and will assume the following values:
- D : for direct expansion evaporator
- R : for remote direct expansion evaporator
- F : for flooded evaporator
• A single-digit literal (F) field to identify the unit family
Within the scope of this document (screw chillers identified by C _2 field) it will assume the following values
- A : Frame 3100 family
- B : Frame 3200 family
- C : Frame 4 family
- U : when the software is applicable to all families within the class
• A major version two-digit numeric field (MM)
• A minor version single-digit literal field (m)
Within the scope of this document the first version is :
ASDU01C
Any version is also identified by a release date.
The first three digits of the version string will never be changed (otherwise a new unit class, and consequently a new software is released).
The fourth digit will change if a family-specific feature is added and it is not applicable to other families; in this case the U value may not be used anymore and a software for any family will be released. When this happens the versions digit is reset to the lower value.
The major version number (MM) will increase any time a completely new function is introduced in the software, or the minor version digit as reached the maximum allowed value (Z).
The minor version digit (m) is increased any time minor modification is introduced in the software without modifying its main working mode (this includes bugs fixing and minor interface modifications).
Engineering version, that meanings versions under tested, is identified adding to the version string the letter E followed by a number digit identifying the progression of engineering versions.

6. MAIN CONTROLLER FEATURES
In the following the main features of the control software are described
6.1. Controller purpose
Then system will control the evaporator leaving water temperature to keep it at a setpoint value.
The system operates to optimize components performances from the point of view of their efficiency and of their duration.
The system assures a safe operation of the unit and of all components and prevents dangerous situations.
6.2. Unit enabling
The control allows different ways to enable/disable the unit:
- Keypad : Enter key on the keypad allows to switch between “Power OFF” mode and “Unit On” if other signals allows this state
- Local Switch: when the digital input “Unit On/Off” is open the unit is in “Local switch Off”; when the digital input “Unit On/Off” is closed the unit may be in “Unit On” or “Remote switch Off” on the basis of the “Remote On/Off” digital input
- Remote Switch: when the local switch is On (“Unit On/Off” digital input closed) if the digital input “Remote On/Off” is closed the unit is in “Unit On”, when digital input “Remote On/Off” is open the unit is in “Remote switch Off”
- Network : a BAS or a Monitoring system may send an On/Off signal trough the serial line connection to put the unit on or in “Rem. Comm. Off”
- Time schedule : a timetable allows to program “Time Schedule Off” on a week base; several holiday days are include.
- Ambient LockOut : the unit is not enabled to operate unless the ambient temperature is higher than an adjustable value (default 15.0°C (59.0 F))
To be in “Unit On” all the allowed signals must enable the unit.
6.3. Unit modes
The unit is able to work in the following modes:
- Cooling:
When this mode is selected the control will operate to cool the evaporator water; the setpoint range is +4.0 | +14.0 °C, (39.2 | 57.2 F) a freeze alarm setpoint is set to 2 °C (34.6 F) (adjustable by the operator in the range +1 | +3 °C (33.8 | 37.4 F)) and a freeze prevent setpoint is set to 3 °C (37.4 F) (adjustable by the operator in the range: “freeze alarm setpoint” +1 | +3 °C (“freeze alarm setpoint” +1.8 F | 37.4 F)).
- Cooling/Glycol:
When this mode is selected the control will operate to cool the evaporator water; the setpoint range are -8^ +14.0^ (17.6 57.2 F), a freeze alarm setpoint are set to -10^ (14.0 F) (adjustable by the operator in the range -12^ -9^ (10.4 15.8 F)) and a freeze prevent setpoint are set to -9^ (15.8 F) (adjustable by the operator in the range “freeze alarm setpoint” + 1^ -9^ (“freeze alarm setpoint” + 1.8 F 15.8 F))
- Ice:
When this mode is selected the control will operate to cool the evaporator water; the setpoint range are -8^ +14.0^ (17.6 | 57.2 F), a freeze alarm setpoint are set to -10^ (14.0 F) (adjustable by the operator in the range -12^ -9^ (10.4 | 15.8 F)) and a freeze prevent setpoint are set to -9^ (15.8 F) (adjustable by the operator in the range “freeze alarm setpoint” + 1^ -9^ (“freeze alarm setpoint” + 1.8 F | 15.8 F))
While working in ice mode compressors are not be allowed to unload but are stopped using a step procedure (se § 6.5.1)
- Heating:
When this mode is selected the control will operate to heat the evaporator water; the setpoint range is +30 | +45°C (86 | 113°C), a hot water alarm setpoint are set to 50°C (adjustable by the operator in the range +46 | +55°C (114.8 | 131 F)) and a hot prevent setpoint are set to 48°C (118.4 F) (adjustable by the operator in the range +46°C | “hot water alarm setpoint” + 1°C (114.8 F | “hot water alarm setpoint” + 1.8 F)).
• Cooling + Heat Recovery:
Setpoints and freeze protection are managed as described in the cooling mode; in addition the control will enable the heat recovery input and outputs foreseen on the expansion #2
• Cooling/Glycol + Heat Recovery:
Setpoints and freeze protection are managed as described in the cooling/glycol mode; in addition the control will enable the heat recovery input and outputs foreseen on the expansion #2
- Ice + Heat Recovery:
Setpoints and freeze protection are managed as described in the ice mode; in addition the control will enable the heat recovery input and outputs foreseen on the expansion #2
The selection between cooling, cooling/glycol and ice mode are performed by the operator using the interface under password.
The switching between cooling and ice and heating modes will cause the unit shutdown and than the switching between the two modes.
6.4. Setpoints management
The control is able to manage the evaporator leaving water temperature on the base of several inputs:
- Changing the setpoint from the keypad
- Switching between the main setpoint (set by keypad) and an alternative value (set by keypad to) on the base of a digital input state (double setpoint function)
- Receiving a setpoint by a monitoring system or a BAS connected via serial line
- Resetting the setpoint of the base of analogic inputs
The control shows the source of the used (Actual) setpoint:
Local : the main setpoint set by keypad is being used
Double : the alternative setpoint set by keypad is being used
Reset : the setpoint is being reset by external input
The following setpoint reset methods are available to modify the local or double setpoint:
None : local or double setpoint are used on the base of the double setpoint digital input. This is called “base setpoint”
4-20mA : base setpoint is modified on the base of an user analog input
OAT : base setpoint is modified on the base of outside ambient temperature (if available)
Return : base setpoint is modified on the base of evaporator entering temperature
Network : the setpoint sent by serial line is used
In the case of a failure in the serial connection or in the 4-20mA input the base setpoint is used. In case of a setpoint reset, the system display will show the type of reset.
6.4.1. 4-20mA setpoint override
The base setpoint is modified on the base of the value of the analog input and of a max reset value, as shown in fig 8.

To enable the OAT setpoint override the unit limiting control expansion board pCO ^c #2 is required, with the ambient sensor installed.
The base setpoint is modified on the base of outside ambient temperature and of a max reset value, of a value of OAT to start reset and a value of OAT to apply max reset, as shown in fig 9

6.5. Compressors capacity control
Two types of capacity control are implemented:
- Automatic: the compressor start/stop and its capacity are automatically managed by the software to allow the setpoint respect
- Manual: the compressor is started by the operator and its capacity is managed by the operator acting on the system terminal. In this case the compressor will not be used by the software to allow the setpoint respect.
Manual control is automatically switched to Automatic control if any safety action is required on the compressor (safety standby or unloading or safety shutdown). If this case the compressor remains in Automatic and must be re-switched to Manual by the operator if required.
Compressors in manual mode are automatically switched in automatic mode at their shutdown.
The compressor load by may be evaluated on the basis of:
• Calculation of loading and unloading pulses
- Analogic slide valve position signal (optional)
6.5.1. Automatic Control
A specialized PID algorithm is used to determine the magnitude of corrective action on capacity control solenoid.
The compressor loading or unloading is obtained keeping the loading or unloading solenoid energized for a fixed time (pulse duration), while the time interval between two subsequent pulses are evaluated by a PD controller (see fig. 11).
If the output of the PD algorithm doesn't change, the time interval among pulses is constant; this is the integral effect of the controller, at a constant error the action is repeated with a constant time (with the additional feature of a variable integral time).
The compressor load evaluation (based on analog slide valve position or calculation ^1 ) is used to allow the start of another computer or the stop of a running one.
It is required to define the proportional band and the derivative time of the PD control, together with the pulse duration and a minimum and maximum value for pulses interval.
The minimum pulse interval is applied when the maximum correction action is required, while the maximum interval is applied when the minimum correction action is required.
A dead band is introduced to allow to reach a stable compressor condition.
Fig. 12 shows the proportional action of the controller as a function of the input parameters.
The proportional gain of the PD controller is given by:
$$ K _ {p} \quad \text { Max } \cdot \frac {\text { RegBand }}{2} $$
The derivative gain of the PD controller is equal to:
$$ _ {d} \quad_ {p} T _ {\tilde {d}} K \cdot = $$
where T_d is the input derivative time.
In addition to the specialized PID controller, a max pull-down-rate is introduced in the control; this meanings that if the controlled temperature is approaching the setpoint with a rate greater than a set value, any loading action is inhibited, even if require by the PID algorithm. This makes the control slower but allows to avoid oscillations around setpoint.
The controller is designed to act both as a “chiller” and as a “heat pump”; when the “chiller” option is selected the controller will load the compressor if the measured temperature is above the setpoint and will unload the compressor if the measured temperature is below the setpoint.
When the “heat pump” option is selected the controller will load the compressor if the measured temperature is below the setpoint and will unload the compressor if the measured temperature is above the setpoint.
The starting sequence of compressors is selected on the base of lower working hours amount (it means that the first compressor that is started is the one with the lower amount of working hour); between two compressors with the same operating hours, the compressor with minimum number of starts will start first.
A manual sequencing of compressors is possible.
The start of the first compressor is allowed only if the absolute value of difference between the measured temperature and the setpoint exceeds a Startup T value.
The stop of the last compressor is allowed only if the absolute value of the difference between the measured temperature and the setpoint exceeds a Shutdown T value.
A FILO (First In - Last Off) logic is adopted.
The start/loading and unloading/stop sequence will follow the schemes in table 2 and table 3, where RDT is the Reload/Reunload T , a set value (that represent the minimum difference between the evaporator leaving water temperature and its setpoint) that will a running compressor to be reload when a compressor is shutdown or a running compressor to be unload when a new compressor is started.
This is made to keep the unit total capacity at the same level when the evaporator leaving water temperature is close to the setpoint and a compressor stops, or another compressor starts, is required.
In Ice mode, while the compressor loading is not affected, the compressors downloading is inhibited. When downloading is required compressors are shutdown on the basis of the evaporator leaving water temperature.
In particular, said Stp the evaporator leaving temperature setpoint, SDT the shutdown T value and n the number of compressors, the scheme in table 6 is used.
In addition when the heat pump option is installed, the compressor could be managed using a variable speed driver (inverter). An analog output of pCO^3 board is used to control the compressor speed with a 0-10V signal. Load management will still determine the time distance between load/unload pulses where pulse in this case means relative variation of the output voltage. The magnitude of the variation could be adjusted under manufacturer password.
When the unit is working in heating mode the maximum speed will be the nominal speed (default value 67Hz).
When the unit is working in cooling mode an overboost option (activated either with the digital input 2 on the expansion board #2 or automatically if the outside ambient temperature is greater than 35^ C and disabled when it falls below 34^ C) is managed. It allows the compressor to run at its full speed of 90Hz if the maximum available capacity is reached. When the overboost is disabled the valve opening (if the electronic expansion valve)

6.5.2. Manual Control
The control will apply a fixed duration pulse (the magnitude is the pulse duration set in the automatic control) for each manual (by keyboard) load or unload signal.
In the manual control the load/unload action follows any pressing of defined up/down keys. (see fig. 13).

6.6. Compressors timing
Compressors operation will meet four timer requirements:
- Minimum time between a same compressor starts (start to start timer): it is the minimum time between two starts of the same compressor
- Minimum time between different compressor starts : it is the minimum time between two starts of two different compressors
- Minimum time compressor on (start to stop timer): it is the minimum time the compressor may run; the compressor cannot be stopped (unless an alarm occurs) if this timer is not expired
- Minimum time compressor off (stop to start timer): it is the minimum time the compressor may be stopped; the compressor cannot be start if this timer is not expired
The minimum time compressor off (stop to start timer) will have two different settings; one applicable to cooling, cooling/glycol and heating mode and the other one applicable in ice mode.
6.7. Compressors protection
To protect compressor against loss of lubrication, the compressor pressure ratio is continuously checked; a minimum value is set for compressor minimum and maximum load; for intermediate compressor loads a linear interpolation are executed.
The low pressure ratio alarm will occur if pressure ratio remains lower than the minimum value at rated compressor capacity while a timer expiration.
At the startup the compressor is completely downloaded and its loading will not be enabled up to the pressure ratio exceeds a set value (default equal to 2).
6.8. Compressors startup procedure
Before to start compressors the unloading solenoid valve is energized up to a timer is expired (default 60 sec).
At compressor startup the control will be executed a series of prepurge procedure to evacuate evaporator; the prepurge procedure will depend on the expansion valve type.
Prepurge procedure will not be executed if the evaporating pressure is below the low pressure alarm setpoint (vacuum conditions inside the evaporator).
The compressor will not be allowed to load up to the discharge superheat exceeds a set value (default 12.2 °C, 22 F) for a time longer than a set value (default 30 sec).
6.8.1. Fan pre-starting in heating mode
When the unit is operated in heating mode, if the outside ambient temperature is lower than an fixed threshold of 10.0^ C (50.0F) before the compressor is started and the start-up procedure is initiated all fans are started with a constant delay between each other.
6.8.2. Prepurge procedure with electronic expansion
At the compressor start the EEXV are completely closed up to the saturated temperature at the evaporator pressure reaches the value of -10^ (14 F) (adjustable in the range -12 - 12 -4^ (10.4 | 24.8 F)), then the valve are opened at a fixed position (adjustable by the manufacturer with a default value equal to 20% ) up to a timer is expired (default 30 sec).
6.8.3. Prepurge procedure with thermostatic expansion
At the compressor start the liquid line solenoid is completely closed up to the saturated temperature at the evaporator pressure reaches the value of -10^ (14 F) (adjustable in the range -12 -4^ (10.4 24.8 F)), then the valve is opened up to a timer is expired; this procedure is repeated for a number of times adjustable by the operator (default is 1 time).
6.8.4. Oil heating
The startup of compressors will not be allowed if the following formula is not respected:
DischTemp - TOilPress > 5 °C
Where:
DischTemp is the compressor discharge temperature
TOilPress is the saturated temperature at the oil pressure
6.9. Pumpdown
As a compressor stop request is recorded (and if the request doesn't originate from an alarm), before to proceed, the compressor is fully discharged and operated for a certain amount of time with a closed expansion valve (in the case of electronic expansion valve) or closed liquid line valve (in the case of thermostatic expansion valve).
This operation, known as “pumpdown”, is used to evacuate the evaporator avoiding that in a following restart the compressor will such liquid.
Pumpdown procedure will end after a user defined timer is expired (adjustable, default 30 sec.) or the saturated temperature at the evaporator pressure reaches the value of -10^ (adjustable in the range -12 -4^ (10.4 | 24.8 F)).
After compressor stop the unloading solenoid valve are energized for a time equal to the minimum compressor off time to assure the complete unloading also in case of non-normal stop procedure completion.
6.10. Low ambient temperature start
Units working in cooling, cooling/glycol or ice mode has to manage start-up with low outside ambient temperature
A low OAT start is initiated if, at the compressor start up, the condenser saturated temperature is less than 15.5 ^ (60 F).
Once this happens, 3 seconds after the end compressor startup procedure (end of prepurge cycles) low pressure events are disabled for a time equal to the low OAT time (setpoint has an adjustable range from 20 to 120 seconds, defaults 120 sec.).
The absolute low pressure limit (the threshold which has no time delay) is still enforced. If this limit pressure is reached a Low Ambient Start-Up low pressure alarm is issued.
At the end of the low OAT start, the evaporator pressure is checked. If the pressure is greater than or equal to the evaporator pressure stage down setpoint, the start is considered successful. If the pressure is less than this, the start is not successful and the compressor shall stop. Three start attempts are allowed before tripping on the restart alarm.
The restart counter should be reset when either a start is successful or the circuit is off on an alarm.

6.12. Economizer valve
If the option is present (expansion board 1) and enabled under manufacturer password, when the compressor's load percentage is greater than an adjustable threshold (default is 90%) and if the saturated condensing temperature is lesser than an adjustable setpoint (default is 65.0°C) the economizer valve is energized. The valve is deenergized if either the compressor's load percentage falls below another adjustable threshold (default is 75%) or if the saturated condensing temperature falls below the setpoint minus an adjustable differential (default is 5.0 °C).
6.13. Switch between cooling and heating mode
Any time the switching of a compressor between cooling (or cooling/glycol or ice) and heating mode is required, either if this is required by unit switching form one mode to other or to start defrost or to end defrost, the following procedures are followed.
6.13.1. Switching from cooling modes to eating mode
6.13.1.1. Compressor running in cooling mode
A compressor running in cooling mode (four-way valve de-energized) is switched off without executing pumpdown, the four-way valve is energized 5 seconds after the compressor has been switched off, than the compressor is switched on after the minimum time compressor off is expired and the standard prepurge procedure is executed.
6.13.1.2. Compressor stopped in cooling mode
If a compressor that was stopped in cooling mode is required to start in heating mode it is switched on in standard cooling mode (with four-way valve de-energized and executing the
standard prepurge procedure), it is kept running for 120 seconds in cooling mode and than is switched off without pumpdown, the four-way valve is energized 5 seconds after the compressor has been switched off, than the compressor is switched on after the minimum time compressor off is expired.
6.13.2. Switching from heating modes to cooling modes
6.13.2.1. Compressor running in heating mode
A compressor running in heating mode (four-way valve energized) is switched off without executing pumpdown, the four-way valve is de-energized 5 seconds after the compressor has been switched off, than the compressor is switched on after the minimum time compressor off is expired and the standard prepurge procedure is executed.
6.13.2.2. Compressor stopped in heating mode
If a compressor that was stopped in heating mode (four-way valve energized) is required to start than then four-way valve is de-energized and the compressor is switched on after the 20 sec.
6.13.3. Additional consideration
The previous procedures relay on the fact that the cooling or heating state is a property of the compressor regardless the fact it is switched on or off. This meanings that, if a compressor is switched of in heating mode its four-way valve remains energized (at the same manner a compressor switched off in cooling mode has the four-way valve de-energized).
If the unit power is removed the four-way valves are automatically de-energized (it is an hardware characteristic of the valves); this meanings that also compressors switched off in heating mode goes in cooling mode. So the heating mode of each compressor is reset if the unit power is removed.
6.14. Defrost procedure
In units configured as heat pumps running in heating mode a defrost procedure are executed.
Two compressors will not execute the defrost procedure at the same time.
A compressor will not execute the defrost procedure unless an adjustable timer (default 30 min) is expired since its startup and will not execute two defrost time before another adjustable timer (default 30 min) is expired (if this is required a warning message are generated).
The defrost procedure are based on the measure of ambient temperature (Ta) and the suction temperature measure by the defrost sensors (Ts). When the Ts remains below Ta by an amount greater than a value, depending from ambient temperature and coil design, for a time longer than an adjustable (default 5 min) value the defrost will start.
The formula to evaluate needs for defrost is:
$$ \mathrm{Ts} < 0. 7 \times \mathrm{Ta} - \Delta \mathrm{T} \& \text { Ssh } < 1 0 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} (\text { adjustable value }) $$
Where T is the adjustable coil design approach (default=12°C) and Ssh is the suction superheat.
Defrost procedure will never be executed if Ta > 7 °C (adjustable under maintenance password).
Defrost procedure will never be executed if T_s > 0 ^ (adjustable under maintenance password).
During defrost the circuit are switched in “cooling mode” for an adjustable time (default 10 min) if Ta < 2 °C (adjustable under maintenance password), otherwise the compressor are stopped and fans are kept at maximum speed for another adjustable time (default 15 min).
Defrost procedure are stopped if evaporator outlet temperature fall below a set value or if discharge pressure reaches a set value.
During defrost procedure “Low pressure switch alarm” and “Low suction pressure alarm” are disabled.
If the switch in “cooling mode” is required, it are executed only if the pressure difference between compressor discharge and suction exceeds 4 bar; if this isn’t the compressor are loaded to reach such a condition. After the switching compressor fans are switched off and a pre-purge procedure are executed (at minimum compressor load). After prepurge the compressor are loaded energizing the loading solenoid with an adjustable number of pulse (default 3).
At the end of defrost procedure executed in “cooling mode” compressor are switched off after its complete download without execution of pumpdown; than the 4-way valve are deenergized; than the compressor are available for temperature control system ignoring the start to start timer.
6.15. Liquid injection
Liquid injection in the discharge line is activated both in cooling/ice and heating mode if the discharge temperature exceeds an adjustable value (default 85^ C).
Liquid injection in the suction line are activated, only in heating mode, if the discharge superheat exceeds an adjustable value (default 35^ C).
6.16. Heat Recovery procedure
The heat recovery procedure is available only in units configured as chillers (not available for heat pumps).
The manufacturer will select the circuits equipped with heat recovers.
6.16.1. Recovery pump
When heat recovery is activated the control will start the recovery pump (if the second pump is foreseen the pump with low operating hours is selected, a manual pump sequencing is foreseen); within 30 sec a recovery flow switch must close otherwise and “Recovery Flow Alarm” will rise and the heat recovery function is disabled; the alarm is automatically reset for three times if the evaporator flow switch closes for more than 30 seconds. Starting from the fourth alarm it has to be reset manually.
No recovery circuit must be activated if a flow switch alarm occurs.
In case of a flow switch alarm during recovery circuit operation, the related compressor will trip and the alarm reset will not be allowed up to the flow is recovered (otherwise recover heat exchanger freeze will occur).
6.16.2. Recovery control
When heat recovery is activated the control will activate or deactivate recovery circuits with a step logic.
In particular a next heat recovery stage is activated (a new heat recovery circuit is inserted) if the heat recovery leaving water temperature remains below the setpoint by an amount greater than an adjustable regulation band for a timer greater than an adjustable value (heat recovery interstage). When a recovery stage is requested, the relative compressor is completely downloaded and then the recovery valve is energized. After recovery valve switches the compressor load is inhibited until the saturated condensing temperature is lower than an adjustable threshold (default is 30.0^ C).
At the same manner a heat recovery stage is deactivated (a heat recovery circuit is removed) if the heat recovery leaving water temperature remains above the setpoint by an amount greater than an adjustable dead regulation band for a timer greater than the previous defined value.
An high temperature setpoint is active in the recovery loop; it will disable all recovery circuits at the same time if the heat recovery water temperature rises above an adjustable threshold (default 50.0^ ).
A three-way valve is used to increase recovery water temperature at startup; a proportional control is used to establish valve position; at low temperature the valve will recirculate recovery water, while at temperature increasing the valve will bypass a portion of the flow.

6.17. Compressor limiting
Two levels of limits are included in the control:
- Load inhibit
The load is not allowed; another compressor may start or may be loaded
- Forced unload
The compressor is unloaded; another compressor may start or may be loaded
The parameters that may limit compressors are :
- Suction pressure
The compressor load is inhibited if the suction pressure is lower than a “stage-hold” setpoint
The compressor is unloaded if the suction pressure is lower than a “stage-down” setpoint
- Discharge pressure
The compressor load is inhibited if the discharge pressure is higher than a “stage-hold” setpoint
The compressor is unloaded if the discharge pressure is higher than a “stage-down” setpoint
• Evaporator outlet temperature
The compressor is unloaded if the evaporator outlet temperature is lower than a “stage-down” setpoint
- Discharge Superheat
The compressor load is inhibited if, the discharge superheat is below an adjustable threshold (default 1.0^ C) for an adjustable time (default 30s) from the compressor starts at the end of prepurge procedure.
• Absorbed inverter current
The compressor load is inhibited if, the absorbed inverter current is above an adjustable threshold.
The compressor is unloaded if the absorbed inverter current is above the inhibit threshold of an adjustable percentage.
6.18. Unit limiting
Unit load may be limited by the following inputs:
- Unit current
The unit load is inhibited if the absorbed current is near to a maximum current setpoint (within -5% from setpoint)
The unit is unloaded if the absorbed current is higher than a maximum current setpoint
- Demand limit
The unit load is inhibited if the unit load (measured by slide valve sensors or calculated as described) is near to a maximum load setpoint (within -5% from setpoint)
The unit is unloaded if the unit load is higher than the maximum load setpoint.
The maximum load setpoint may be derived by a 4-20 mA input (4mA → limit=100%; 20 mA → limit=0%); or from a numeric input coming from monitoring system (network demand limit).
- SoftLoad
At unit startup (when the first compressor stats) a temporary demand limit may be set up to a time expired.
6.19. Evaporator pumps
An evaporator pump is foreseen in the base configuration while a second pump is an optional.
When the two pumps are selected, the system will automatically start the pump with lower operating hours each time a pump has to be started. A fixed starting sequence may be set.
A pump is started when the unit is switched on; within 30 sec an evaporator flow switch must close otherwise and “Evaporator Flow Alarm” will rise. The alarm is automatically reset for three times if the evaporator flow switch closes for more than 30 seconds. Starting from the fourth alarm it has to be reset manually.
6.19.1. Inverter pump ^2
Inverter pump is used to modify water flow through the evaporator in order to keep evaporator water T at the rated value (or close to it) even if the required capacity is reduced due to the switching off of some terminals. In fact, in this case the water flow across the remaining ones increases as well as the pressure drops and the head required to the pump.
So the pump speed is reduced to reduce the water pressure drops across terminals at the rated value.
Since a minimum flow through the evaporator is required (about 50% of rated one) as well as inverter pumps may not run at low frequency, a minimum flow bypass is managed.
The flow control is based on the measurement of pressure difference across the pump (pump head) and will act on the pump speed and on the bypass valve position.
Both actions are executed by 0-10V analog output.
In particular, since pressure drops across evaporators and piping change with flow while pressure drops across terminal units are flow-independent, the pump required head (head setpoint) is a function of the flow:
$$ \Delta = (\Delta_ {r} - \Delta P _ {l} h \left(\frac {f}{f _ {r}}\right) ^ {2} \quad P _ {l} $$
being
h = required pump head at the supply frequency f (pump head target)
h_r = pump head at rated flow (pump head setpoint)
P_t = terminal units pressure drop at rated flow
f = pump required supply frequency
$$ f _ {r} = \text { pump supply frequency at rated flow } $$
A tuning procedure is available to allow the setting of h_r .
This procedure has to be activated with unit on, both compressors running at 100% and all terminal units on. When this procedure is active the pump speed may be adjusted manually from 70% to 100% (35 to 50Hz) and the they bypass valve is completely close (0V output) and the evaporator water T is shown. When the operator, changing the pump speed reaches the right water T will stop the setup procedure and the pump head is chosen as h_r (head setpoint).
If the setup procedure has not been executed the system will work with 100% pump speed and bypass valve completely closed and a “No pump VFD calibration alarm” will rise (delayed by 30 minutes) without stopping the unit.
During the operation a PID controller acts on the pump speed to keep the pump head to the target value h (reducing the speed as well as the head increases) and keeping the bypass valve completely close; the PID controller will never reduce the pump speed below 75% (35Hz) since this is the operating limit of inverter pump, if this set is reached and the head continues to increase a PID controller will start to open the bypass valve.
The reverse occurs when pump head decreases; the controller will start to close the valve and when it is completely closed it will start to speed-up the pump.
Pump speed and bypass valve will never move together (to avoid flow instability); pump will be adjusted from 100% to minim flow, valve will be used when required flow is below the minimum.
At the unit startup the pump will start at minimum frequency (35 Hz) and will accelerate up to 50 Hz in 10 sec. while the bypass valve is completely open (100% output).
Then it will start to regulate pump head accordingly to the previous procedure; the compressors start will be enabled once the target pump head is reached (within a 10% tolerance).
6.20. Fans control
Fans control is used to manage condensation pressure in cooling, cooling glycol or ice mode and evaporating pressure in heating mode.
In both cases the fans may be managed to control:
• Condensation or evaporation pressure,
- Pressure ratio,
• Pressure difference between condensation and evaporation.
Four control methods are available:
- Fantroll,
- Fan Modular,
• Variable speed driver, - Speedtroll.
6.20.1. Fantroll
A step control is used; fan steps are activated or deactivated to keep compressor operating conditions within the allowed envelope.
Fan steps are activated or deactivated keeping condensing (or evaporating pressure) change to a minimum; to do this one next fan is started or stopped at time.
Fans are connected to steps (digital outputs) according to the scheme in table below
Fans connection to steps
Fan steps are activated or deactivated on the base of the staging table below

The Fan Modular method will work at the same way of Fantroll method (staging sequence), but instead of using digital outputs, it will use and analog output.
In particular the analog output will assume a value, in volts, equal to the stage number (at stage 2, 2V is output, at stage 3, 3V and so on).
6.20.3. Variable Speed Driver
A continuous control is used; fans speed is modulated to keep saturated condensation pressure at a setpoint; a PID control is used to allow a stable operation.

6.2.1.2. VSD in cooling, cooling glycol or ice mode
When the system is operating in cooling mode, either if it is controlling the condensation pressure, the pressure ratio or the pressure difference, the PID proportional gain is positive (the higher the input the higher the output).

6.2.1.3.2. Control of pressure ratio or temperature differences
When the system is operating in heating mode to control the pressure ration the proportional gain is positive (the higher the input the higher the output).
6.20.4. Speedtroll
A mixed step-VSD control are used; the first fans step are managed using a VSD (with related PID control), next steps are activated as in the step control, only if the cumulated stage-up and stage-down error is reached and the VSD output is at maximum or minimum respectively.
6.20.5. Double VSD
Two VSD are managed to keep controlled parameter at a setpoint; the second VSD are activated when the first one reaches the maximum speed and the PID control requires greater air flow
6.20.6. Fans control at startup in heating mode
At the compressors start in heating mode fans are started before that the compressors begin their normal start up sequence if the outside ambient temperature is below a fixed temperature of 10.0^ C (50.0F). If the condensation control is either speedtroll or fantroll each step is activated after a fixed delay of 6 seconds. The control is released to automatic control if the outside ambient temperature is greater than a fixed threshold of 15.0^ C (59.0F).
6.21. Other functions
The following functions are implemented.
6.21.1. Hot Chilled Water Start
This feature will allow the unit startup also in case of high evaporator outlet water temperature.
It will not allow the compressors loading above an adjustable percentage until the evaporator leaving water temperature falls below an adjustable threshold; another compressor is enabled to start when the others are limited.
6.21.2. Fan Silent Mode
This feature will allow to reduce unit noise limiting fans speed (only in case of VSD fan control) on the base of a time schedule. A maximum output voltage for the VSD could be set for FSM operations (default value 6.0V).
6.21.3. Double evaporator units
This feature will allow to limit freezing problems on units with two evaporators (3 and 4 compressors units).
In this case compressors are started alternatively on the two evaporators.

9. USER INTERFACE
Two types of user interface are implemented in the software: built-in display and PGD; the PGD display is used as optional remote display.
Both interfaces have a 4x20 LCD display and a 6 keys keypad.

Fig 21 - Built-In Display

In particular, from the main menu, that may be accessed using ☐ (MENU key), 4 different menu sections are addressable. Each section may be accessed using the related key:

(ENTER key) is used to access the Unit status loop from every menu mask.




(LEFT key) access the section listed on the first row of the list
(RIGTH key) access the section listed on the second row of the list
(UP key) access the section listed on the third row of the list
(DOWN key) access the section listed on the fourth row of the list

Fig 23 - Built-In & PGD navigation
In case of different key labels (this may happen if a standard Carel controller is used instead of one with personalized keypad) please refer to key position to access the same function.
Entering any other section different menus or mask loops are shown.
From every loop with MENU key it is possible to access the father menu and so on until main menu is reached.
In each loop horizontal navigation have been introduced. Using LEFT and RIGHT keys it is possible to move between masks of similar usage (i.e. from View Unit loop is possible to move to View Compressor #1 loop; from Unit Configuration loop is possible to move to Unit Setpoint loop and so on, refer to Masks Tree).
In a mask with different I/O fields, with ENTER key is possible to access the first one, then with UP and DOWN it is possible to increase and decrease respectively the value, with LEFT it is possible to reload the default value and with RIGHT it is possible to skip leaving the value unchanged.
The possibility of change values is subordinated to passwords of different levels depending on the sensibility of the value.
When a password is active, pressing UP+DOWN it is possible to reset all passwords (to make the access to protected values not accessible anymore without the re-insertion of the password).
In any main loops it is possible to change the password for the corresponding level (Unit Config for Tech password, User Setpoint for Operator password and Maint Setpoint for Manager password).

9.1.1. Details on Human Machine Interface structure
The HMI of the ASDU01C was developed trying to optimize its usability. This is the reason why masks loops of the same group of parameters could be accessed using left and right arrows creating also horizontal loops.
Parameters within a same horizontal loop could accessed with a unique password.
The structure of the interface assumes the layout of the following figure 24.

Fig 25 - HMI structure
All loops could be accessed directly from the main menu. Once in the selected loop the other loops, with the same colour in the previous scheme, could be reached with left and right arrows. This will mean for example that from the loop Unit Configuration it will be possible to move to Unit Setpoint pressing the right arrow.
Loops with no link with other loops could be accessed only from the menu.
9.2. Languages
User interface are Multilanguage; the user may select the language to be used.
The following language must be implemented in the base configuration ^3 :
- English
- Italian
- French
- German
- Spanish
Chinese language are implemented on additional display (semi-graphic display)
9.3. Units
The interface is able to work using SI and Imperial units.
In the SI system the following units are used:
Pressure : bar
Temperature : °C
Time : sec
In the Imperial system the following units are used:
Pressure : psi
Temperature : °F
Time : sec
As far as pressure is concerning, the interface shows if shown data are gauge or absolute using the postfix “g” or “a” respectively.
9.4. Default passwords

APPENDIX B: SOFTWARE UPLOAD TO THE CONTROLLER
It is possible to upload the software into the controller using two different ways: using the direct download form a personal computer or using the Carel programming key.
B.1. Direct upload from PC
To upload the program, it is necessary:
- To install in the PC the program Winload supplied by Carel and available on the web site ksa.carel.com. It may also be required to Daikin.
- to connect the PC, by means of a RS232 serial cable, to the Carel RS232/RS485 adapter (code 98C425C001)
- to connect the RS485 adapter port to the controller terminal port (J10) using a 6 wire phone cable (terminal cable)
- to disconnect the controller from pLAN and to set the net address to 0.
- Switch on the controller and run Winload, select the correct serial port numer you are using and wait (some tenths of seconds) for the "ON LINE" status (this meanings the program is connected to the controller).
- Then select the "Upload" folder and the "Application" section and select al program files supplied by Daikin (one file in the "blb files" box and one or more files in the "iup files" box).
- Then press the “Upload” button and wait the transfer is completed; the program shows all transfer phase in a window and when the process is completed the “UPLOAD COMPLETED” message will appear.
- Finally turn off the controller, disconnect it from the PC, reconnect the pLAN and set the right net address.
This procedure has to be applied to all controllers on the unit with the exception of pCO ^e boards and EEXV drivers.

B.2. Upload from programming key
To upload the program using the Carel programming key it is necessary first to upload the program to the key and then to download it on one ore more controllers. The same procedure has to be used for both operations just selecting the right position on the key commuter:
| Commuter position | Transfer type |
| 1 (green light) key programming from pCO ^3 | |
| 2 (red light) pCO ^3 programming from key | |
The procedure is described in the following.
– disconnect the controller from pLAN and to set the net address to 0
- select the right commuter position
- insert the key in the “expansion memory” connection (remove the cover if necessary)
- press "up" and "down" keys at the same time and switch on the controller
- press "enter" key to confirm the operation
- wait until the controller boot
- turn off the controller
- remove the key.
In the case no controller with the program installed is available, the key may be programmed using the same procedure described for the direct upload from a PC. In this case, with the key inserted in the controller and the commuter in position 2 (red light) the program will write on the key instead of on the controller.
APPENDIX C: PLAN SETTINGS
Such work must be made in case a terminal is added in the pLan or if settings are changed.
- Keep pressed for at least 10 seconds the keys "Up", "Down" and "Enter"

text_image
Control panel interface with icons and a vertical navigation bar, showing function buttons and directional arrows- A screen will appear with the terminal address and with the address of the board in examination
Terminal Adr: 7
I/O Board Adr: n
Using the “Up” and “Down” keys is it possible choose the different board (1, 2, 3, 4 for the compressors and 5, 7, 9, 11 for the electronic valve drivers)
Select in correspondence of “I/O Board Adr” the number 1 (Board with address 1) and push “Enter”. In about two seconds the following screen will appear:
Terminal Config
Press ENTER
To continue
- Push "Enter" again; the following screen will appear:
P:01 Adr Priv/Shared
Trm1 7 Sh
Trm2 None --
Trm3 None -- Ok? No
-
If you had to add a second terminal (remote terminal), change the line “Trm2 None – “with the line “Tmr2 17 sh”. To enable the new configuration put the pointer on “No” (using the key “Enter”) and with “Up” and “Down” change it in “Yes” and push “Enter”. The operations from 1. to 3. must be repeated for all the compressor boards (“I/O Board” from 1 to 4)
-
At the end of operations turn off and restart the system.
Remark: It is possible, after restart, that the terminal is stuck on a unit. This is due to the fact that the memory of the Drivers remains fed by the buffer battery and keeps on to contain the data of the preceding configuration. In this case, with the system not fed, is sufficient to disconnect batteries from all the drivers and then connect them again
APPENDIX D: COMMUNICATION
The control supports communication on the serial port with the following protocols :
• Carel Proprietary protocol (local and remote), and MODEM/GSM modem through it
• MODbus Standard RTU
• LONTalk FTT10A (chiller profile)
• BACnet MS/TP & IP (single master points list)
- EKCSCII communication over proprietary protocol for unit and site optimization, monitoring and sequencing
Your preferred protocol is Menu selectable under User Password (Protocol Selectability™)
Protocol Menu is reachable through the arrow keys under Settings/USER/Setpoints menu.
To perform the right communication the serial card inserted in the serial plug of the controller must comply with the protocol selected.
