1. INTRODUCTION
EVD evolution twin is a controller featuring two drivers for double pole stepper motors that independently manages two electronic expansion valves. It is designed for DIN rail assembly and is tted with plug-in screw terminals. Each driver controls refrigerant superheat and optimises the eciency of the refrigerant circuit, guaranteeing maximum exibility, being compatible with various types of refrigerants and valves, in applications with chillers, air-conditioners and refrigerators, the latter including subcritical and transcritical CO
2
systems. It features low superheat (LowSH), high evaporation pressure (MOP), and low evaporation pressure (LOP) protection, and can manage, as an alternative to superheat control, special functions such as the hot gas bypass, evaporator pressure regulation (EPR) and control of the valve downstream of the gas cooler in transcritical CO
2
circuits. The controller can drive an electronic expansion valve in a refrigerant circuit with Digital Scroll compressor, if integrated with a specic CAREL controller via LAN. In addition, it features adaptive control that can evaluate the eectiveness of superheat control and if necessary activate one or more tuning procedures. As regards network connectivity, the controller can be connected to either of the following:
a pCO programmable controller to manage the controller via pLAN, tLAN
and RS485/Modbus®;
a PlantVisorPRO supervisor via RS485/Modbus®. In this case, On/O control
is performed via digital input 1 for driver A and via digital input 2 for driver B, if suitably congured. As well as regulation start/stop, digital inputs 1 and 2 can be congured for the following:
- valve regulation optimization after defrost;
- valve forced open (at 100%);
- regulation backup;
- regulation security.
The last two possibilities refer to the behaviour of the driver when there is no communication over the pLAN or tLAN, RS485/Modbus® network (see chap.
6). Another possibility involves operation as a simple positioner with 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 Vdc analogue input signal for driver A (inputs S1 and S2 respectively) and with 4 to 20 mA signal for driver B (input S3). EVD evolution twin comes with a LED board to indicate the operating status, or a graphic display (accessory) that can be used to perform installation, following a guided commissioning procedure involving setting just 4 parameters for each driver: refrigerant, valve, pressure sensor, type of main control (chiller, showcase, etc.). The procedure can also be used to check that the sensor and valve motor wiring is correct. Once installation is complete, the display can be removed, as it is not necessary for the operation of the controller, or alternatively kept in place to display the signicant system variables, any alarms and when necessary set the control parameters. The controller can also be setup using a computer via the service serial port. In this case, the VPM program (Visual Parameter Manager) needs to be installed, downloadable from http://ksa. carel.com, and the USB-tLAN converter EVDCNV00E0 connected. Only on RS485/Modbus® models can installation be managed as described above by computer, using the serial port (see paragraph 2.9) in place of the service serial port. The “universal” models can drive all types of valves, while the “CAREL” models only drive CAREL valves.

RS485/Modbus®);
compatibility with various types of valves (“universal” models only) and
refrigerants;
activation/deactivation of control via digital input 1 for driver A and digital
input 2 for driver B, if suitably congured, or remote control via LAN, from pCO programmable controller;
superheat control with protection functions for low superheat LowSH,
MOP, LOP;
adaptive superheat control;
function to optimise superheat control for air-conditioning units tted
with Emerson Climate Technologies Digital Scroll compressor. In this case, EVD Evolution twin must be connected to a CAREL pCO series controllers running an application program that can manage units with Digital Scroll compressors. This function is only available on the controllers for CAREL valves;
conguration and programming by display (accessory), by computer
using the VPM program or by PlantVisor/PlantVisorPro supervisor and pCO programmable controller;
commissioning simplied by display with guided procedure for setting the
parameters and checking the electrical connections;
multi-language graphic display, with “help” function on various parameters;
management of dierent units of measure (metric/imperial);
parameters protected by password, accessible at a service (installer) and
manufacturer level;
copy the conguration parameters from one EVD evolution twin controller
to another using the removable display;
ratiometric or electronic 4 to 20 mA pressure transducer, the latter can be
shared between up to 5 drivers (maximum 2 EVD evolution twins + 1 EVD Evolution), useful for multiplexed applications;
4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 Vdc input to use the controller as a positioner
controlled by an external signal;
management of power failures with valve closing (only for controllers with
24 Vac power supply connected to EVD0000UC0 accessory);

USB/RS485 converter (code CVSTDUMOR0)
The converter is used to connect the conguration computer and the EVD evolution twin controllers, for RS485/Modbus ® models only.
Fig. 1.c
Ultracap module (P/N EVD0000UC0)
The module, mounted on DIN rail, guarantees temporary power to the driver in the event of power failures, for enough time to immediately close the connected electronic valves (one or two). It avoids the need to install a solenoid valve. The module is made using Ultracap storage capacitors, which ensure reliability in terms of much longer component life than a module made with lead batteries. In just 4 minutes the module is ready to power two Carel valves again (or 5 minutes for pairs or other brand valves).
Fig. 1.d
Valve cable E2VCABS*00 (IP67)
Shielded cable with built-in connector for connection to the valve motor. The connector code E2VCON0000 (IP65) can also be purchased on its own, to be wired.
Fig. 1.e
Float level sensor (P/N LSR0013000)
The level sensor measures the quantity of refrigerant in the heat exchanger. This is used when controlling the valve based on the liquid level in the ooded evaporator or condenser. Available with threaded or anged connector.
Fig. 1.f
Starting from software revision 5.0 and higher, new functions have been introduced:
management of new refrigerants;
valve position in standby settable by parameter;
operation as EVD Evolution with single driver: the driver controls one
expansion valve only (valve A), however it acquires new functions available using probes S3 and S4:
1. electronic valve control in a refrigerant circuit with BLDC compressor,
controlled by CAREL Power+ speed driver (with inverter);
2. superheat control with two temperature probes;
3. auxiliary control functions:
- backup probes S3 and S4;
- subcooling measurement;
- high condensing temperature protection (HiTcond);
- modulating thermostat;
- subcooling measurement;
- reverse high condensing temperature protection;
- possibility to manage CO
2
(R744) cascade systems, setting the
refrigerant for the primary and secondary circuit.
New functions have been introduced with software revision 5.4 and higher:
programmable control, both superheat and special, and programmable
positioner: these functions exploit CAREL’s technology and know-how in terms of control logic;
custom refrigerant selection;
control with level sensor for ooded evaporator;
control with level sensor for ooded condenser.
From the software revision following the 7.2-7.3 new features have been introduced, including:

the use of driver A for superheat control requires the use of the evaporation
pressure probe S1 and the suction temperature probe S2, which will be tted after the evaporator, and digital input 1 to enable control. As an alternative to digital input 1, control can be enabled via remote signal (tLAN, pLAN, RS485/ModBus®). For the positioning of the probes relating to other applications, see the chapter on “Control”;
the use of driver B for superheat control requires the use of the evaporation

As an alternative to digital input 2, control can be enabled via remote signal (tLAN, pLAN, RS485/ModBus®). For the positioning of the probes relating to other applications, see the chapter on “Control”;
inputs S1, S2, S3 & S4 are programmable and the connection to the
terminals depends on the setting of the parameters. See the chapters on “Commissioning” and “Functions”;
ENG

pressure probes S1 & S2 in the diagram are ratiometric. See the general
connection diagram for the other electronic probes, 4 to 20 mA or combined;
the pressure probes S1 and S3 must be of the same type.
2.4 Installation
For installation proceed as follows, with reference to the wiring diagrams:
1. connect the probes: the probes can be installed a maximum distance of
10 metres away from the driver, or a maximum of 30 metres as long as shielded cables with a minimum cross-section of 1 mm are used;
2. connect any digital inputs, maximum length 30 m;
3. connect the power cable to the valve motors: use 4-wire shielded cable
AWG 22 Lmax=10 m or AWG 14 Lmax=50m; failure to connect the valve motors after connecting the controller will generate the “EEV motor error” alarm: see paragraph 9.5;
4. carefully evaluate the maximum capacity of the relay outputs specied in
the chapter “Technical specications”;
5. if necessary, use a class 2 safety transformer with suitable short-circuit
and overload protection. For the power ratings of the transformer see the general connection diagram and the technical specications;
6. the connection cables must have a minimum cross-section of 0.5 mm
2
;
7. power up the controller: for 24 Vdc power supply the controller will close
the valves;
Important: for 24 Vdc power supply, set “Power supply mode”
parameter=1 to start control. See par. 6.1

exposure of the controller to direct sunlight and to the elements in general.
Important: When connecting the controller, the following warnings
must be observed:
if the controller is not used as specied in this user manual, the protection
indicated is not guaranteed;
incorrect connection to the power supply may seriously damage the
controller;
use cable ends suitable for the corresponding terminals. Loosen each
screw and insert the cable ends, then tighten the screws and lightly tug the cables to check correct tightness;
separate as much as possible (at least 3 cm) the probe and digital
input cables from the power cables to the loads so as to avoid possible electromagnetic disturbance. Never lay power cables and probe cables in the same conduits (including those in the electrical panels;
install the shielded valve motor cables in the probe conduits: use shielded
valve motor cables to avoid electromagnetic disturbance to the probe cables;
avoid installing the probe cables in the immediate vicinity of power devices
(contactors, circuit breakers, etc.). Reduce the path of the probe cables as much as possible and avoid enclosing power devices;
avoid powering the controller directly from the main power supply in the
panel if this supplies dierent devices, such as contactors, solenoid valves, etc., which will require a separate transformer.
* EVD EVO is a control to be incorporated in the end equipment, do not
use for ush mount
* DIN VDE 0100: Protective separation between SELV circuit and other
circuits must be guaranteed. The requirements according to DIN VDE 0100 must be fullled. To prevent infringement of the protective separation (between SELV circuit to other circuits) an additional xing has to be provided near to the terminals. This additional xing shall clamp the insulation and not the conductor”.
2.5 Valve operation in parallel and complementary mode
EVD evolution twin can control two CAREL valves connected together (see paragraph 4.2), in parallel mode, with identical behaviour, or in complementary mode, whereby if one valve opens, the other closes by the same percentage. To achieve such behaviour, simply set the “valve” parameter (“Two EXV connected together”) and connect the valve motor power supply wires to the same connector. In the example shown below, for operation of valve B_2 with valve B_1 in complementary mode simply swap the connection of wires 1 and 3.

2.6 Shared pressure probe
Only 4 to 20 mA pressure probes (not ratiometric) can be shared. The probe can be shared by a maximum of 5 drivers. For multiplexed systems where twin1, twin2 and twin 3 controllers share the same pressure probe, choose the normal option for driver A on the twin 1 controller and the “remote” option for the other drivers. Driver B on the twin3 controller must use another pressure probe, P2.

4. COMMISSIONING
Important: if the refrigerant is not available among the refrigerant
parameter options, contact CAREL service to:
1. conrm that the system: pCO controller + CAREL electronic expansion
valve is compatible with the desired refrigerant (custom);
2. identify the values that dene the custom refrigerant: “Dew a…f high/
low” and “Bubble a…f high/low”. See the parameter table.
4.1 Commissioning
Once the electrical connections have been completed (see the chapter on installation) and the power supply has been connected, the operations required for commissioning the controller depend on the type of interface used, however essentially involve setting just 4 parameters: refrigerant, valve, type of pressure probe (S1 for driver A and S3 for driver B) and type of main control. The network address for EVD evolution twin is single. Types of interfaces:
DISPLAY: after having correctly congured the setup parameters,
conrmation will be requested. Only after conrmation will the controller be enabled for operation, the main screen will be shown on the display and control will be able to commence when requested by the pCO controller via LAN or when digital input DI1 closes for driver A and DI2 for driver B. See paragraph 4.2;
VPM: to enable control of the drivers via VPM, set “Enable EVD
control” to 1; this is included in the safety parameters, in the special parameters menu, under the corresponding access level. However, the setup parameters should rst be set in the related menu. The drivers will then be enabled for operation and control will be able to commence when requested by the pCO controller via LAN or when digital input DI1/DI2 closes. If due to error or for any other reason “Enable EVD control” should be set to 0 (zero), the controller will immediately stop control and will remain in standby until re-enabled, with the valve stopped in the last position;
SUPERVISOR: to simplify the commissioning of a considerable number of
controllers using the supervisor, the setup operation on the display can be limited to simply setting the network address. The display will then be able to be removed and the conguration procedure postponed to a later stage using the supervisor or, if necessary, reconnecting the display. To enable control of the controller via supervisor, set “Enable EVD control”; this is included in the safety parameters, in the special parameters menu, under the corresponding access level. However, the setup parameters should rst be set in the related menu. The controller will then be enabled for operation and control will be able to commence when requested by the pCO controller via pLAN or when digital input DI1 closes for driver A and DI2 for driver B. As highlighted on the supervisor, inside of the yellow information eld relating to the “Enable EVD control” parameter, if due to error or for any other reason “Enable EVD control” should be set to 0 (zero), the controller will immediately stop control and will remain in standby until re-enabled, with the valve stopped in the last position;
pCO PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER: the rst operation to be
performed, if necessary, is to set the network address using the display.
Important: for the driver with pLAN serial port, see the
guidelines described in the following paragraph for setting the address.
If a pLAN, tLAN or RS485/Modbus® controller is used, connected to a pCO family controller, the setup parameters will not need to be set and conrmed. In fact, the application running on the pCO will manage the correct values based on the unit controlled. Consequently, simply set the pLAN, tLAN or RS485/Modbus® address for the controller as required by the application on the pCO, and after a few seconds communication will commence between the two instruments and the controller automatically be enabled for control. The main screen will shown on the display, which can then be removed, and control will be commence when requested by the pCO controller or digital input DI1 for driver A and DI2 for driver B. (see paragraph 6.3). If there is no communication between the pCO and the controller (see the paragraph “LAN error alarm”), this will be able to continue control based on the status of the digital inputs.
4.2 Setting the pLAN network address
The pLAN addresses of the devices in the network must be assigned according to the following rule:
1. the EVD Evolution driver addresses must be assigned in increasing order
from left to right, starting with the controllers (A),
2. then the drivers (B) and nally
3. the terminals (C).

the procedure, otherwise choose NO and return to step 2.
At the end of the conguration procedure the controller activates the valve motor error recognition procedure, displaying “INIT” on the display. See paragraph 9.5. To simplify commissioning and avoid possible malfunctions, the controller will not start until the following have been congured for each driver:
4. network address (common parameter);
5. refrigerant;
6. valve;
7. pressure probe;
8. type of main control, that is, the type of unit the superheat control is
applied to.
Note:
to exit the guided commissioning procedure press the DOWN button
repeatedly and nally conrm that conguration has been completed. The guided procedure CANNOT be ended by pressing Esc;
if the conguration procedure ends with a conguration error, access
Service parameter programming mode and modify the value of the parameter in question;
if the valve and/or the pressure probe used are not available in the list, select
any model and end the procedure. Then the controller will be enabled for control, and it will be possible to enter Manufacturer programming mode and set the corresponding parameters manually. Below are the parameters for driver A and driver B to be set during the commissioning procedure.
These parameters have the same description for both driver A and driver B, the user can recognise which parameter is being set by the letter A/B shown at the top right of the display.
Important: for 24 Vdc power supply, at the end of the guided commissioning procedure, to start control set “Power supply mode” parameter=1, otherwise the valves remain in the closed position. See paragraph 6.1.
Network address
The network address assigns to the controller an address for the serial connection to a supervisory system via RS485, and to a pCO controller via pLAN, tLAN, RS485/Modbus®. This parameter is common to both drivers A and B.

Important:
two CAREL EXV valves connected together must be selected if two
CAREL EXV valves are connected to the same terminal, to have parallel or complementary operation;
as described, control is only possible with CAREL EXV valves;
NOT all CAREL valves can be connected: see paragraph 2.5.
Pressure/refrigerant level probe S1 & S3
Setting the type of pressure probe S1 for driver A and S3 for driver B denes the range of measurement and the alarm limits based on the manufacturer’s data for each model, usually indicated on the rating plate on the probe. Select “CAREL liquid level” and connect the CAREL oat level sensor to manage the following functions:
- evaporator liquid level control with CAREL sensor;
- condenser liquid level control with CAREL sensor.
For example, connecting two CAREL liquid level probes, one to S1 and one to S3, allows independent control of two refrigerant liquid levels.
See the chapter on “Control”.

(*) for programmable positioner. See chapter “Control”.
Important: if two pressure probes S1 and S3 are installed, these must be the same type. A ratiometric probe and an electronic probe cannot be used together.
Note: in the case of multiplexed systems where the same pressure probe is shared between the twin1 and twin2 controllers, choose the normal option for driver A and the “remote” option for the remaining drivers. Example: to use the same pressure probe P1 for driver A and B: 4 to 20 mA,
-0.5 to 7 barg For driver A on the twin 1 controller select: 4 to 20 mA, -0.5 to 7 barg. For driver B on the twin 1 controller and for driver A and B on the twin 2 controller select: remote 4 to 20 mA, -0.5 to 7 barg. The connection diagram is shown in paragraph 2.6
Note:
the range of measurement by default is always in bar gauge (barg). In
the manufacturer menu, the parameters corresponding to the range of measurement and the alarms can be customised if the probe used is not in the standard list. If modifying the range of measurement, the controller will detect the modication and indicate the type of probe S1 or S3 as “Customised”;
the software on the controller takes into consideration the unit of measure.
If a range of measurement is selected and then the unit of measure is changed (from bars to psi), the controller automatically updates the limits of the range of measurement and the alarm limits. By default, the main control probes S2 and S4 are set as “CAREL NTC”. Other types of probes can be selected in the service menu;
unlike the pressure probes, the temperature probes do not have any
modiable parameters relating to the range of measurement, and consequently only the models indicated in the list can be used (see the chapter on “Functions” and the list of parameters). In any case, in manufacturer programming mode, the limits for the probe alarm signal can be customised.

The superheat set point and all the parameters corresponding to PID control, the operation of the protectors and the meaning and use of probes S1/S3 and/or S2/S4 will be automatically set to the values recommended by CAREL based on the selected application. During this initial conguration phase, only superheat control mode from 1 to 10 can be set, which dier based on the application (chiller, refrigerated cabinet, etc.). In the event of errors in the initial conguration, these parameters can later be accessed and modied inside the service or manufacturer menu. If the controller default parameters are restored (RESET procedure, see the chapter on Installation), when next started the display will again show the guided commissioning procedure.
4.4 Checks after commissioning
After commissioning:
check that the valves complete a full closing cycle to perform alignment;
set, if necessary, in Service or Manufacturer programming mode, the
superheat set point (otherwise keep the value recommended by CAREL based on the application) and the protection thresholds (LOP, MOP, etc.). See the chapter on Protectors.
4.5 Other functions
By entering Service programming mode, other types of main control can be selected (transcritical CO
2
, hot gas bypass, etc.), as well as so-called special control functions, and suitable values set for the control set point and the LowSH, LOP and MOP protection thresholds (see the chapter on “Protectors”), which depend on the specic characteristics of the unit controlled. By entering Manufacturer programming mode, nally, the operation of the controller can be completely customised, setting the function of each parameter. If the parameters corresponding to PID control are modied, the controller will detect the modication and indicate the main control as “Customised.

5. CONTROL
Superheat control
The parameter that the control of the electronic valve is based on is the superheat temperature, which eectively tells whether or not there is liquid at the end of the evaporator. EVD Evolution twin can independently manage superheat control on two refrigerant circuits. The superheat temperature is calculated as the dierence between: superheated gas temperature (measured by a temperature probe located at the end of the evaporator) and the saturated evaporation temperature (calculated based on the reading of a pressure transducer located at the end of the evaporator and using the Tsat(P) conversion curve for each refrigerant).
Superheat = Superheated gas temperature(*) – Satur. evaporation temperature (*) suction
If the superheat temperature is high it means that the evaporation process is completed well before the end of the evaporator, and therefore ow-rate of refrigerant through the valve is insucient. This causes a reduction in cooling eciency due to the failure to exploit part of the evaporator. The valve must therefore be opened further. Vice-versa, if the superheat temperature is low it means that the evaporation process has not concluded at the end of the evaporator and a certain quantity of liquid will still be present at the inlet to the compressor. The valve must therefore be closed further. The operating range of the superheat temperature is limited at the lower end: if the ow­rate through the valve is excessive the superheat measured will be near 0 K. This indicates the presence of liquid, even if the percentage of this relative to the gas cannot be quantied. There is therefore un undetermined risk to the compressor that must be avoided. Moreover, a high superheat temperature as mentioned corresponds to an insucient ow-rate of refrigerant. The superheat temperature must therefore always be greater than 0 K and have a minimum stable value allowed by the valve-unit system. A low superheat temperature in fact corresponds to a situation of probable instability due to the turbulent evaporation process approaching the measurement point of the probes. The expansion valve must therefore be controlled with extreme precision and a reaction capacity around the superheat set point, which will almost always vary from 3 to 14 K. Set point values outside of this range are quite infrequent and relate to special applications.

5.1 Main control
EVD evolution twin features two types of control, which can be set independently for driver A and B. Main control denes the operating mode of the driver. The rst 10 settings refer to superheat control, the others are so­called “special” settings and are pressure or temperature settings or depend on a control signal from an external controller. The last special functions (18, 19, 20) also relate to superheat control, but they can be selectable if EVD Evolution TWIN is working as single driver (see Appendix 2). Programmable control exploits CAREL’s technology and know-how in terms of control logic. Finally, it is possible to control liquid level in applications with ooded evaporator/condenser.

The following paragraphs explain all the types of control that can be set on EVD evolution twin.
5.2 Superheat control
The primary purpose of the electronic valve is ensure that the ow-rate of refrigerant that ows through the nozzle corresponds to the ow-rate required by the compressor. In this way, the evaporation process will take place along the entire length of the evaporator and there will be no liquid at the outlet and consequently in the branch that runs to the compressor. As liquid is not compressible, it may cause damage to the compressor and even breakage if the quantity is considerable and the situation lasts some time.

PID parameters
Superheat control, as for any other mode that can be selected with the “main control” parameter, is performed using PID control, which in its simplest form is dened by the law:
u(t)= K e(t) + 1 e(t)dt + Td
de(t)
dtT
i
Key:
u(t) Valve position Ti Integral time e(t) Error Td Derivative time K Proportional gain
ENG
“EVD Evolution TWIN” +0300006EN - rel. 2.6 - 31.01.2019
22
Note that control is calculated as the sum of three separate contributions: proportional, integral and derivative.
the proportional action opens or closes the valve proportionally to the
variation in the superheat temperature. Thus the greater the K (proportional gain) the higher the response speed of the valve. The proportional action does not consider the superheat set point, but rather only reacts to variations. Therefore if the superheat value does not vary signicantly, the valve will essentially remain stationary and the set point cannot be reached;
the integral action is linked to time and moves the valve in proportion to
the deviation of the superheat value from the set point. The greater the deviations, the more intense the integral action; in addition, the lower the value of T (integral time), the more intense the action will be. The integration time, in summary, represents the intensity of the reaction of the valve, especially when the superheat value is not near the set point;
the derivative action is linked to the speed of variation of the superheat value,
that is, the gradient at which the superheat changes from instant to instant. It tends to react to any sudden variations, bringing forward the corrective action, and its intensity depends on the value of the time T (derivative time).

5.3 Adaptive control and autotuning
Note: from the software revision following the 6.6-6.7, functions “Adaptive control” and “Autotuning” are no longer present. Then the setting: Main control= air-conditioner/chiller or cabinet/ cold room with adaptive control, is equivalent to: Main control = multiplexed cabinet/cold room.
EVD evolution TWIN features two functions used to automatically optimise the PID parameters for superheat control, useful in applications where there are frequent variations in thermal load:
1. automatic adaptive control: the function continuously evaluates the
eectiveness of superheat control and activates one or more optimisation procedures accordingly;
2. manual autotuning: this is activated by the user and involves just one
optimisation procedure. Both procedures give new values to the PID superheat control and protection function parameters:
- PID: proportional gain;
- PID: integral time;
- PID: derivative time;
- LowSH: low superheat integral time;
- LOP: low evaporation temperature integral time;
- MOP: high evaporation temperature integral time.
Given the highly variable dynamics of superheat control on dierent units, applications and valves, the theories on stability that adaptive control and autotuning are based on are not always denitive. As a consequence, the following procedure is suggested, in which each successive step is performed if the previous has not given a positive outcome:
1. use the parameters recommended by CAREL to control the dierent
units based on the values available for the “Main control” parameter;
2. use any parameters tested and calibrated manually based on laboratory
or eld experiences with the unit in question;
3. enable automatic adaptive control;
4. activate one or more manual autotuning procedures with the unit in

With adaptive control enabled, the controller constantly evaluates whether control is suciently stable and reactive; otherwise the procedure for optimising the PID parameters is activated. The activation status of the optimisation function is indicated on the standard display by the message “TUN” at the top right. The PID parameter optimisation phase involves several operations on the valve and readings of the control variables so as to calculate and validate the PID parameters. These procedures are repeated to ne-tune superheat control as much as possible, over a maximum of 12 hours.
Note:
during the optimisation phase maintenance of the superheat set point is
not guaranteed, however the safety of the unit is ensured through activation of the protectors. If these are activated, the procedure is interrupted;
if all the attempts performed over 12 hours are unsuccessful, the “adaptive
control ineective” alarm will be signalled and adaptive control will be disabled, resetting the default values of the PID and protection function parameters;
to deactivate the “adaptive control ineective” alarm set the value of the
“main control” parameter to one of the rst 10 options. If required, adaptive control can be immediately re-enabled using the same parameter. If the procedure ends successfully, the resulting control parameters will be automatically saved.
Autotuning
EVD evolution TWIN also features an automatic tuning function (Autotuning) for the superheat and protector control parameters, which can be started by setting the parameter “Force manual tuning” = 1.

5.4 Control with Emerson Climate Digital Scroll ™ compressor
Important: this type of control is incompatible with adaptive control
and autotuning.
Digital Scroll compressors allow wide modulation of cooling capacity by using a solenoid valve to active a patented refrigerant bypass mechanism. This operation nonetheless causes swings in the pressure of the unit, which may be amplied by normal control of the expansion valve, leading to malfunctions. Dedicated control ensures greater stability and eciency of the entire unit by controlling the valve and limiting swings based on the instant compressor modulation status. To be able to use this mode, the LAN version driver must be connected to a Carel pCO series controller running a special application to manage units with Digital scroll compressors.

5.5 Special control
EPR back pressure
This type of control can be used in applications in which a constant pressure is required in the refrigerant circuit. For example, a refrigeration system may include dierent showcases that operate at dierent temperatures (showcases for frozen foods, meat or dairy). The dierent temperatures of the circuits are achieved using pressure regulators installed in series with each circuit. The special EPR function (Evaporator Pressure Regulator) is used to set a pressure set point and the PID control parameters required to achieve this.

Another application that exploits this control function uses the connection of two EXV valves together to simulate the eect of a three-way valve, called “reheating”. To control humidity, valve EVB_2 is opened to let the refrigerant ow into exchanger S. At the same time, the air that ows through evaporator E is cooled and the excess humidity removed, yet the temperature is below the set room temperature. It then ows through exchanger S, which heats it back to the set point (reheating). In addition, if dehumidication needs to be increased, with less cooling, valve EVA_2 must open to bypass at least some of the refrigerant to condenser C. The refrigerant that reaches the evaporator thus has less cooling capacity. Valves EVA_1 and EVA_2 are also connected together in complementary mode, controlled by the 4 to 20 mA signal on input S1, from an external regulator.

Transcritical CO2 gas cooler
This solution for the use of CO2 in refrigerating systems with a transcritical cycle involves using a gas cooler, that is a refrigerant/air heat exchanger resistant to high pressures, in place of the condenser. In transcritical operating conditions, for a certain gas cooler outlet temperature, there is pressure that optimises the eciency of the system:

T= gas cooler outlet temperature Default value: A=3.3, B= -22.7. In the simplied diagram shown below control is performed by driver A and the simplest solution in conceptual terms is shown.

Valve B will be positioned linearly depending on the value of the “4 to 20 mA input for analogue valve positioning” read by input S3. There is no PID control nor any protection (LowSH, LOP, MOP, see the chapter on Protectors), and no valve unblock procedure.
Forced closing will only occur when digital input DI1 opens for driver A or DI2 for driver B, thus switching between control status and standby. The pre-positioning and repositioning procedures are not performed. Manual positioning can be enabled when control is active or in standby.

6.2 Battery charge delay
Battery charge delay to allow battery charging. In the presence of a battery to close the valve, to avoid missing emergency closing in case of repeated and close blackouts, a regulation start delay has been introduced, congurable by the user depending on the backup system used (ultracap or lead battery). This delay, if set to a value> 0, occurs every time the driver is turned on to allow the battery to recharge.

Digital inputs
The functions of digital inputs 1 and 2 can be set by parameter, as shown in the table below:
Parameter/description Def. Min. Max. UOM

CONTROL Start delay after defrost 10 0 60 min
Tab. 6.e
Valve regulation optimization after defrost: the selected digital input tells
the driver the current defrost status. Defrost active = contact closed. Access Manufacturer programming mode to set the start delay after defrost; this parameter is common to both drivers.
Discharged battery alarm management: this setting can only be selected if
the controller power supply is 24 Vac. If the selected digital input is connected to the battery charge module for EVD evolution, EVBAT00400, the controller signals discharged or faulty batteries, so as to generate an alarm message and warn the service technicians that maintenance is required.
Valve forced open: when the digital input closes, the valve opens completely
(100%), unconditionally. When the contact opens again the valve closes and moves to the position dened by the parameter “valve opening at start-up” for the pre-position time. Control can then start.
Regulation start/stop:
digital input closed: control active; digital input open: driver in standby (see the paragraph “Control status”);
Important: this setting excludes activation/deactivation of control via
the network. See the following functions.
Regulation backup: if there is a network connection and communication
fails, the driver checks the status of the digital input to determine whether control is active or in standby;
Regulation security: if there is a network connection, before control
is activated the driver must receive the control activation signal and the selected digital input must be closed. If the digital input is open, the driver
always remains in standby.
Priority of digital inputs
In certain cases the setting of digital inputs 1 and 2 may be incompatible (e.g. no regulation start/stop). The problem thus arises to determine which function each driver needs to perform.
Consequently, each type of function is assigned a priority, primary (PRIM) or secondary (SEC), as shown in the table:
DI1/DI2 conguration Type of function
1=Disabled SEC 2=Valve regulation optimization after defrost SEC 3=Discharged battery alarm management SEC 4=Valve forced open (at 100%) SEC 5=Regulation start/stop PRIM 6=Regulation backup PRIM 7=Regulation security PRIM
There are four possible cases of digital input congurations with primary or secondary functions.

Note that:
if digital inputs 1 and 2 are set to perform a PRIM function, driver A performs
the function set by digital input 1 and driver B the function set by digital input 2;
if digital inputs 1 and 2 are set to perform a PRIM and SEC function
respectively, driver A and driver B perform the PRIM function set on digital input DI1. Driver A will also perform the SEC function set on digital input DI2;
if digital inputs 1 and 2 are set to perform a SEC and PRIM function
respectively, driver A and driver B perform the PRIM function set on digital input DI2. Driver B will also perform the SEC function set on digital input DI1;
if digital inputs 1 and 2 are set to perform a SEC function, driver A will
perform the SEC function set on input DI1 and driver B will perform the SEC function set on input DI2. Each driver will be set to “Regulation backup”, with the value of the digital input determined respectively by the supervisor variables:
- Regulation backup from supervisor (driver A);
- Regulation backup from supervisor (driver B).
Examples
Example 1: assuming an EVD Evolution twin controller connected to the LAN.
In this case, the start/stop control will come from the network. The two digital inputs can be congured for:
1. valve regulation optimization after defrost (SEC function);
2. regulation backup (PRIM function).
With reference to the previous table:
in case 2, when there is no communication both driver A and driver B will
be enabled for control by digital input 1, and digital input 2 will determine when control stops to run the defrost for driver A only;
in case 3 when there is no communication digital input 2 will activate
control for both driver A and driver B. Digital input 1 will determine when control stops to run the defrost for driver B only.
Example 2: assuming an EVD Evolution twin controller in stand-alone
operation. In this case, the start/stop control will come from the digital input. The following cases are possible:
1. start / stop driver A/B from inputs DI1/DI2 (case 1);
2. simultaneous star t / stop of both drivers A/B from input DI1 (case 2); input
DI2 can be used for discharged battery alarm management.
Relay outputs
The relay outputs can be congured as:
alarm relay output. See the chapter on Alarms;
solenoid valve control;
electronic expansion valve status signal relay. The relay contact is only open
if the valve is closed (opening=0%). As soon as control starts (opening >0%, with hysteresis), the relay contact is closed

6.5 Control status
The electronic valve controller has 8 dierent types of control status, each of which may correspond to a specic phase in the operation of the refrigeration unit and a certain status of the controller-valve system. The status may be as follows:
forced closing: initialisation of the valve position when switching the
instrument on;
standby: no temperature control, unit OFF;
wait: opening of the valve before starting control, also called pre-
positioning, when powering the unit and in the delay after defrosting;
control: eective control of the electronic valve, unit ON;
positioning: step-change in the valve position, corresponding to the start
of control when the cooling capacity of the controlled unit varies (only for LAN EVD connected to a pCO);
stop: end of control with the closing of the valve, corresponds to the end
of temperature control of the refrigeration unit, unit OFF;
valve motor error recognition: see paragraph 9.5;
tuning in progress: see paragraph 5.3
Forced closing
Forced closing is performed after the controller is powered-up and corresponds to a number of closing steps equal to the parameter “Closing steps”, based on the type valve selected. This is used to realign the valve to the physical position corresponding to completely closed. The driver and the valve are then ready for control and both aligned at 0 (zero). On power-up, rst a forced closing is performed, and then the standby phase starts.
Parameter/description Def. Min. Max. UOM
VALV E EEV closing steps 500 0 9999 step
Tab. 6.g
The valve is closed in the event of power failures with 24 Vac power supply when the EVD0000UC0 module is connected. In this case, the parameter “Forced valve closing not completed”, visible only on the supervisor, is forced to 1. If when restarting forced closing of the valve was not successful:
1. the Master programmable controller checks the value of the parameter
and if this is equal to 1, decides the best strategy to implement based on the application;
2. EVD Evolution twin does not make any decision and positions the valve as
explained in the paragraph “Pre-positioning/start control”. The parameter is reset to 0 (zero) by the Master controller (e.g. pCO). EVD Evolution twin resets the parameter to 0 (zero) only if forced emergency closing is completed successfully
Standby
Standby corresponds to a situation of rest in which no signals are received to control the electronic valve. This normally occurs when:
the refrigeration unit stops operating, either when switched o manually
(e.g. from the button, supervisor) or when reaching the control set point;
during defrosts, except for those performed by reversing of the cycle (or
hot gas bypass). In general, it can be said that electronic valve control is in standby when the compressor stops or the control solenoid valve closes. The valve is closed or open according to the setting of “Valve open in standby”. The percentage of opening is set using “Valve position in standby”. In this phase, manual positioning can be activated.

Note: if “Valve open in standby=1”, the positions of the valve when
setting “Valve position in standby”=0 and 25 do not coincide. Refer to the above formulae.
Prepositioning/start control
If during standby a control request is received, before starting control the valve is moved to a precise initial position. The pre-position time is the time the valve is held in a steady position based on the parameter “Valve opening at start-up”.
Parameter/description Def. Min. Max. UOM
CONTROL Pre-position time 6 0 18000 s Valve opening at start-up (evaporator/valve capacity ratio)
50 0 100 %
Tab. 6.j
The valve opening parameter should be set based on the ratio between the rated cooling capacity of the evaporator and the valve (e.g. rated evaporator cooling capacity: 3kW, rated valve cooling capacity: 10kW, valve opening = 3/10 = 33%).
If the capacity request is 100%:
Opening (%)= (Valve opening at start-up);
If the capacity request is less than 100% (capacity control):
Opening (%)= (Valve opening at start-up) x (Current unit cooling capacity), where the current unit cooling capacity is sent to the driver via pLAN by the pCO controller. If the driver is stand-alone, this is always equal to 100%.
Note:
this procedure is used to anticipate the movement and bring the valve
signicantly closer to the operating position in the phases immediately after the unit starts;
if there are problems with liquid return after the refrigeration unit starts or
in units that frequently switch on-o, the valve opening at start-up must be decreased. If there are problems with low pressure after the refrigeration unit starts, the valve opening must be increased.
Wait
When the calculated position has been reached, regardless of the time taken (this varies according to the type of valve and the objective position), there is a constant 5 second delay before the actual control phase starts. This is to create a reasonable interval between standby, in which the variables have no meaning, as there is no ow of refrigerant, and the eective control phase.

Control
The control request for each driver can be received, respectively, by the closing
of digital input 1 or 2, via the network (LAN). The solenoid or the compressor
are activated when the valve, following the pre-positioning procedure, has
reached the calculated position. The following gure represents the sequence
of events for starting control of the refrigeration unit.
Control delay after defrost
Some types of refrigerating cabinets have problems controlling the electronic
valve in the operating phase after a defrost. In this period (10 to 20 min
after defrosting), the superheat measurement may be altered by the high
temperature of the copper pipes and the air, causing excessive opening of
the electronic valve for extended periods, in which there is return of liquid to
the compressors that is not detected by the probes connected to the driver.
In addition, the accumulation of refrigerant in the evaporator in this phase
is dicult to dissipate in a short time, even after the probes have started to
correctly measure the presence of liquid (superheat value low or null).
The driver can receive information on the defrost phase in progress, via the
digital input. The “Start delay after defrost” parameter is used to set a delay
when control resumes so as to overcome this problem. During this delay,
the valve will remain in the pre-positioning point, while all the normal probe
alarm procedures, etc. are managed.

Positioning (change cooling capacity)
This control status is only valid for the pLAN controller.
If there is a change in unit cooling capacity of at least 10%, sent from the pCO
via the pLAN, the valve is positioned proportionally. In practice, this involves
repositioning starting from the current position in proportion to how much
the cooling capacity of the unit has increased or decreased in percentage
terms. When the calculated position has been reached, regardless of the time
taken (this varies according to the type of valve and the position), there is a
constant 5 second delay before the actual control phase starts.
Note: if information is not available on the variation in unit cooling
capacity, this will always be considered as operating at 100% and therefore
the procedure will never be used. In this case, the PID control must be
more reactive (see the chapter on Control) so as to react promptly to
variations in load that are not communicated to the driver.

6.6 Special control status
As well as normal control status, the driver can have 3 special types of status related to specic functions:
manual positioning: this is used to interrupt control so as to move the
valve, setting the desired position;
recover physical valve position: recover physical valve steps when fully
opened or closed;
unblock valve: forced valve movement if the driver considers it to be
blocked.

Manual positioning
Manual positioning can be activated at any time during the standby or control phase. Manual positioning, once enabled, is used to freely set the position of the valve using the corresponding parameter.

Tab. 6.l
Control is placed on hold, all the system and control alarms are enabled, however neither control nor the protectors can be activated. Manual positioning thus has priority over any status/protection of the driver.
When the driver is connected to the network (for example to a pCO controller), in presence of an communication-error (LAN error), manual positioning can be inhibited temporarily by the parameter and the driver recognizes the start/ stop regulation, depending on the conguration of the digital inputs.
Note:
the manual positioning status is NOT saved when restarting after a power
failure;
in for any reason the valve needs to be kept stationary after a power failure,
proceed as follows:
- remove the valve stator;
- in Manufacturer programming mode, under the conguration
parameters, set the PID proportional gain =0. The valve will remain stopped at the initial opening position, set by corresponding parameter.

Tab. 6.m
This procedure is necessary as the stepper motor intrinsically tends to lose steps during movement. Given that the control phase may last continuously for several hours, it is probable that from a certain time on the estimated position sent by the valve controller does not correspond exactly to the physical position of the movable element. This means that when the driver reaches the estimated fully closed or fully open position, the valve may physically not be in that position. The “Synchronisation” procedure allows the driver to perform a certain number of steps in the suitable direction to realign the valve when fully opened or closed.
Note:
realignment is in intrinsic part of the forced closing procedure and is
activated whenever the driver is stopped/started and in the standby phase;
the possibility to enable or disable the synchronisation procedure depends
on the mechanics of the valve. When the setting the “valve” parameter, the
two synchronisation parameters are automatically dened. The default
values should not be changed.
Unblock valve
This procedure is only valid when the driver is performing superheat control. Unblock valve is an automatic safety procedure that attempts to unblock a valve that is supposedly blocked based on the control variables (superheat, valve position). The unblock procedure may or may not succeed depending on the extent of the mechanical problem with the valve. If for 10 minutes the conditions are such as to assume the valve is blocked, the procedure is run a maximum of 5 times. The symptoms of a blocked valve doe not necessarily mean a mechanical blockage. They may also represent other situations:
mechanical blockage of the solenoid valve upstream of the electronic valve
(if installed);
electrical damage to the solenoid valve upstream of the electronic valve;
blockage of the lter upstream of the electronic valve (if installed);
electrical problems with the electronic valve motor;
electrical problems in the driver-valve connection cables;
incorrect driver-valve electrical connection;
electronic problems with the valve control driver;
secondary uid evaporator fan/pump malfunction;
insucient refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit;
refrigerant leaks;
lack of subcooling in the condenser;
electrical/mechanical problems with the compressor;
processing residues or moisture in the refrigerant circuit.
Note: the valve unblock procedure is nonetheless performed in each
of these cases, given that it does not cause mechanical or control problems. Therefore, also check these possible causes before replacing the valve.

7. PROTECTORS
Note: the HiTcond and reverse HiTcond protectors can be activated
if EVD Evolution twin works as a single driver (see Appendix 2) or if
programmable control is activated (see chap. on Control).
These are additional functions that are activated in specic situations that are
potentially dangerous for the unit being controlled. They feature an integral
action, that is, the action increases gradually when moving away from the
activation threshold. They may add to or overlap (disabling) normal PID
superheat control. By separating the management of these functions from PID
control, the parameters can be set separately, allowing, for example, normal
control that is less reactive yet much faster in responding when exceeding the
activation limits of one of the protectors.
7.1 Protectors
There are 3 protectors:
LowSH, low superheat;
LOP, low evaporation temperature;
MOP, high evaporation temperature;
The protectors have the following main features:
activation threshold: depending on the operating conditions of the
controlled unit, this is set in Service programming mode;
integral time, which determines the intensity (if set to 0, the protector is
disabled): set automatically based on the type of main control;
alarm, with activation threshold (the same as the protector) and delay (if set
to 0 disables the alarm signal).
Note: the alarm signal is independent from the eectiveness of the protector, and only signals that the corresponding threshold has been exceeded. If a protector is disabled (null integration time), the relative alarm signal is also disabled.
Each protector is aected by the proportional gain parameter (K) for the PID superheat control. The higher the value of K, the more intense the reaction of the protector will be.

Tab. 7.b
When the superheat value falls below the threshold, the system enters low superheat status, and the intensity with which the valve is closed is increased: the more the superheat falls below the threshold, the more intensely the valve will close. The LowSH threshold, must be less than or equal to the superheat set point. The low superheat integration time indicates the intensity of the action: the lower the value, the more intense the action.
The integral time is set automatically based on the type of main control.

LOP (low evaporation pressure)
LOP= Low Operating Pressure The LOP protection threshold is applied as a saturated evaporation temperature value so that it can be easily compared against the technical specications supplied by the manufacturers of the compressors. The protector is activated so as to prevent too low evaporation temperatures from stopping the compressor due to the activation of the low pressure switch. The protector is very useful in units with compressors on board (especially multi-stage), where when starting or increasing capacity the evaporation temperature tends to drop suddenly. When the evaporation temperature falls below the low evaporation temperature threshold, the system enters LOP status and is the intensity with which the valve is opened is increased. The further the temperature falls below the threshold, the more intensely the valve will open. The integral time indicates the intensity of the action: the lower the value, the more intense the action.

Note:
the LOP threshold must be lower then the rated evaporation temperature
of the unit, otherwise it would be activated unnecessarily, and greater than the calibration of the low pressure switch, otherwise it would be useless. As an initial approximation it can be set to a value exactly half-way between the two limits indicated;
the protector has no purpose in multiplexed systems (showcases) where
the evaporation is kept constant and the status of the individual electronic valve does not aect the pressure value;
the LOP alarm can be used as an alarm to highlight refrigerant leaks by
the circuit. A refrigerant leak in fact causes an abnormal lowering of the evaporation temperature that is proportional, in terms of speed and extent, to the amount of refrigerant dispersed.

MOP (high evaporation pressure)
MOP= Maximum Operating Pressure.
The MOP protection threshold is applied as a saturated evaporation temperature value so that it can be easily compared against the technical specications supplied by the manufacturers of the compressors. The protector is activated so as to prevent too high evaporation temperatures from causing an excessive workload for the compressor, with consequent overheating of the motor and possible activation of the thermal protector. The protector is very useful in units with compressor on board if starting with a high refrigerant charge or when there are sudden variations in the load. The protector is also useful in multiplexed systems (showcases), as allows all the utilities to be enabled at the same time without causing problems of high pressure for the compressors. To reduce the evaporation temperature, the output of the refrigeration unit needs to be decreased. This can be done by controlled closing of the electronic valve, implying superheat is no longer controlled, and an increase in the superheat temperature. The protector will thus have a moderate reaction that tends to limit the increase in the evaporation temperature, keeping it below the activation threshold while trying to stop the superheat from increasing as much as possible. Normal operating conditions will not resume based on the activation of the protector, but rather on the reduction in the refrigerant charge that caused the increase in temperature. The system will therefore remain in the best operating conditions (a little below the threshold) until the load conditions change.

The integral time is set automatically based on the type of main control.
When the evaporation temperature rises above the MOP threshold, the system enters MOP status, superheat control is interrupted to allow the pressure to be controlled, and the valve closes slowly, trying to limit the evaporation temperature. As the action is integral, it depends directly on the dierence between the evaporation temperature and the activation threshold. The more the evaporation temperature increases with reference to the MOP threshold, the more intensely the valve will close. The integral time indicates the intensity of the action: the lower the value, the more intense the action.

Important: the MOP threshold must be greater than the rated evaporation temperature of the unit, otherwise it would be activated unnecessarily. The MOP threshold is often supplied by the manufacturer of the compressor. It is usually between 10°C and 15 °C.
If the closing of the valve also causes an excessive increase in the suction temperature (S2) above the set threshold – only set via supervisor (PlantVisor, pCO, VPM), not on the display - the valve will be stopped to prevent overheating the compressor windings, awaiting a reduction in the refrigerant charge.

Note: the units of measure K and R relate to degrees Kelvin or Rankine adopted for measuring the superheat and the related parameters. When changing the unit of measure, all the values of the parameters saved on the driver and all the measurements read by the probes will be recalculated. This means that when changing the units of measure, control remains unaltered.
Example 1: The pressure read is 100 barg, this will be immediately converted
to the corresponding value of 1450 psig.
Example 2: The “superheat set point” parameter set to 10 K will be immediately
converted to the corresponding value of 18 °F.
Example 3: The “Temperature S4: maximum alarm value” parameter, set to
150 °C, will be immediately converted to the corresponding value of 302 °F.
Note: due to limits in the internal arithmetic of the driver, pressure values above 200 barg (2900 psig) and temperature values above 200 °C (392 °F) cannot be converted

9. ALARMS
9.1 Alarms
There are two types of alarms for each driver:
system: valve motor, EEPROM, probe and communication;
control: low superheat, LOP, MOP, low suction temperature.
The activation of the alarms depends on the setting of the threshold and activation delay parameters. Setting the delay to 0 disables the alarms. The EEPROM alarm always shuts down the controller. All the alarms are reset automatically, once the causes are no longer present. The alarm relay contact will open if the relay is congured as alarm relay using the corresponding parameter. The signalling of the alarm event on the driver depends on whether the LED board or the display board is tted, as shown in the table below.
Note: the alarm LED only comes on for the system alarms, and not for
the control alarms.
Example: display system alarm on LED board for driver A and for driver B

Note:the alarm LED comes on to signal a mains power failure only if the EVBAT*** module (accessory) has been connected, guaranteeing the power required to close the valve.
The display shows both types of alarms, in two dierent modes:
system alarm: on the main page, the ALARM message is displayed, ashing.
Pressing the Help button displays the description of the alarm and, at the top right, the total number of active alarms and the driver where the alarm occurred (A / B). The same alarm may occur on both drivers (e.g. probe alarm)

9.2 Alarm relay conguration
The relay contacts are open when the controller is not powered. During normal operation, the relay can be disabled (and thus will be always open) or congured as:
alarm relay : during normal operation, the relay contact is closed, and opens
when any alarm is activated. It can be used to switch o the compressor and the system in the event of alarms.
solenoid valve relay : during normal operation, the relay contact is closed,
and is open only in standby. There is no change in the event of alarms.
solenoid valve relay + alarm : during normal operation, the relay contact
is closed, and opens in standby and/or for LowSH, MOP, HiTcond and low suction temperature alarms. This is because following such alarms, the user may want to protect the unit by stopping the ow of refrigerant or switching o the compressor. The LOP alarm is excluded, as in the event of low evaporation temperature closing the solenoid valve would worsen the situation.
Direct control: the relay is actuated by a variable accessible by serial;
Failed closing alarm relay (open with alarm);
Reverse failed closing alarm relay (closed with alarm).
In the event of a mains power failure, if the driver is connected to the Ultracap module, the forced emergency valve closing procedure starts and the red LED comes. At the end of the emergency closing procedure, the outcome is indicated by the value of the parameter “Failed closing alarm status”: 0 = Closing successful; 1 = Closing failed.
The driver will then switch o. If the closing procedure fails, when next restarting, if the parameter “Relay conguration” = 8 or 9 the display will show the “Battery discharged” alarm and the relay will be activated based on the setting (open or closed).
Note: the “Battery discharged” alarm: has no aect on the positioning of the valve, it is signal-only; is not activated if the driver has a direct current power supply (Vdc).

9.3 Probe alarms
The probe alarms are part of the system alarms. When the value measured by one of the probes is outside of the eld dened by the parameters corresponding to the alarm limits, an alarm is activated. The limits can be set independently of the range of measurement. Consequently, the eld outside of which the alarm is signalled can be restricted, to ensure greater safety of the controlled unit.
Important: in applications that use programmable control it may be
necessary to exclude the alarms generated by the probes:

Note:
the alarm limits can also be set outside of the range of measurement, to
avoid unwanted probe alarms. In this case, the correct operation of the unit or the correct signalling of alarms will not be guaranteed;
by default, after having selected the type of probe used, the alarm limits
will be automatically set to the limits corresponding to the range of measurement of the probe.

9.4 Control alarms
These are alarms that are only activate during control.
Protector alarms
The alarms corresponding to the LowSH, LOP and MOP protectors are only activated during control when the corresponding activation threshold is exceeded, and only when the delay time dened by the corresponding parameter has elapsed. If a protector is not enabled (integral time= 0 s), no alarm will be signalled. If before the expiry of the delay, the protector control variable returns back inside the corresponding threshold, no alarm will be signalled.
Note: this is a likely event, as during the delay, the protection function
will have an eect.
If the delay relating to the control alarms is set to 0 s, the alarm is disabled. The protectors are still active, however. The alarms are reset automatically.
Low suction temperature alarm
The low suction temperature alarm is not linked to any protection function. It features a threshold and a delay, and is useful in the event of probe or valve malfunctions to protect the compressor using the relay to control the solenoid valve or to simply signal a possible risk. In fact, the incorrect measurement of the evaporation pressure or incorrect conguration of the type of refrigerant may mean the superheat calculated is much higher than the actual value, causing an incorrect and excessive opening of the valve. A low suction temperature measurement may in this case indicate the probable ooding of the compressor, with corresponding alarm signal. If the alarm delay is set to 0 s, the alarm is disabled. The alarm is reset automatically, with a xed dierential of 3°C above the activation threshold.
Relay activation for control alarms
As mentioned in the paragraph on the conguration of the relay, in the event of LowSH, MOP and low suction temperature alarms, the driver relay will open both when congured as an alarm relay and congured as a solenoid + alarm relay.

In the event of LOP alarms, the driver relay will only open if congured as an alarm relay.

9.5 EEV motor alarm
At the end of the commissioning procedure and whenever the controller is powered up, the valve motor error recognition procedure is activated. This precedes the forced closing procedure and lasts around 10 s. The valve is kept stationary to allow any valve motor faults or missing or incorrect connections to be detected. In any of these cases, the corresponding alarm is activated, with automatic reset. The controller will go into wait status, as it can longer control the valve. The procedure can be avoided by keeping the respective digital input closed for each driver. In this case, after having powered up the controller, forced closing of the valve is performed immediately.
Important: after having resolved the problem with the motor, it is recommended to switch the controller o and on again to realign the position of the valve. If this is not possible, the automatic procedure for synchronising the position may help solve the problem, nonetheless correct control will not be guaranteed until the next synchronisation.
9.6 LAN error alarm
Note: in the event of LAN error, a parameter can be set to disable “Manual positioning”.
If the connection to the LAN network is oine for more than 6s due to an electrical problem, the incorrect conguration of the network addresses or the malfunction of the pCO controller, a LAN error alarm will be signalled. The LAN error aects the operation of the controller as follows:
case 1: unit in standby, digital input DI1/DI2 disconnected; driver A/B will
remain permanently in standby and control will not be able to start;
case 2: unit in control, digital input DI1/DI2 disconnected: the driver will
stop control and will go permanently into standby;
case 3: unit in standby, digital input DI1/DI2 connected: the driver will
remain in standby, however control will be able to start if the digital input is closed. In this case, it will start with “current cooling capacity”= 100%;
case 4: unit in control, digital input DI1/DI2 connected: driver A/B will
remain in control status, maintaining the value of the “current cooling capacity”. If the digital input opens, the driver will go to standby and control will be able to start again when the input closes. In this case, it will start with “current cooling capacity”= 100%.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING
The following table lists a series of possible malfunctions that may occur when starting and operating the driver and the electronic valve. These cover the most common problems and are provided with the aim of oering an initial response for resolving the problem.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The superheat value measu­red is incorrect
The probe does not measure correct values Check that the pressure and the temperature measured are correct and that the probe
position is correct. Check that the minimum and maximum pressure parameters for the pressure transducer set on the driver correspond to the range of the pressure probe installed. Check the correct probe electrical connections.
The type of refrigerant set is incorrect Check and correct the type of refrigerant parameter. Liquid returns to the com­pressor during control
The type of valve set is incorrect Check and correct the type of valve parameter.
The valve is connected incorrectly (rotates
in reverse) and is open
Check the movement of the valve by placing it in manual control and closing or ope­ning it completely. One complete opening must bring a decrease in the superheat and vice-versa. If the movement is reversed, check the electrical connections.
The superheat set point is too low Increase the superheat set point. Initially set it to 12 °C and check that there is no
longer return of liquid. Then gradually reduce the set point, always making sure there is no return of liquid.
Low superheat protection ineective If the superheat remains low for too long with the valve that is slow to close, increase
the low superheat threshold and/or decrease the low superheat integral time. Initially set the threshold 3 °C below the superheat set point, with an integral time of 3-4 seconds. Then gradually lower the low superheat threshold and increase the low superheat integral time, checking that there is no return of liquid in any operating conditions.
Stator broken or connected incorrectly Disconnect the stator from the valve and the cable and measure the resistance of the
windings using an ordinary tester. The resistance of both should be around 36 ohms. Otherwise replace the stator. Finally, check the electrical connections of the cable to the driver.
Valve stuck open Check if the superheating is always low (<2 °C) with the valve position permanently at
0 steps. If so, set the valve to manual control and close it completely. If the superheat is
always low, check the electrical connections and/or replace the valve. The “valve opening at start-up” parameter is too high on many showcases in which the control set point is often reached (for multiplexed showcases only)
Decrease the value of the “Valve opening at start-up” parameter on all the utilities,
making sure that there are no repercussions on the control temperature.
Liquid returns to the com­pressor only after defrosting (for multiplexed showcases only)
The pause in control after defrosting is too short (for MasterCase, MasterCase 2 and mpxPRO only)
Increase the value of the “valve control delay after defrosting” parameter.
The superheat temperature measured by the driver after defrosting and before reaching operating conditions is very low for a few minutes
Check that the LowSH threshold is greater than the superheat value measured and that
the corresponding protection is activated (integral time > 0sec). If necessary, decrease
the value of the integral time.
The superheat temperature measured by the driver does not reach low values, but there is still return of liquid to the compres­sor rack
Set more reactive parameters to bring forward the closing of the valve: increase the
proportional factor to 30, increase the integral time to 250 sec and increase the deriva-
tive time to 10 sec.
Many showcases defrosting at the same time
Stagger the start defrost times. If this is not possible, if the conditions in the previous
two points are not present, increase the superheat set point and the LowSH thresholds
by at least 2 °C on the showcases involved. The valve is signicantly oversized Replace the valve with a smaller equivalent.
Liquid returns to the com­pressor only when starting the controller (after being OFF)
The “valve opening at start-up” parameter is set too high
Check the calculation in reference to the ratio between the rated cooling capacity of
the evaporator and the capacity of the valve; if necessary, lower the value.
The superheat value swings around the set point with an amplitude greater than 4°C
The condensing pressure swings Check the controller condenser settings, giving the parameters “blander” values (e.g.
increase the proportional band or increase the integral time). Note: the required
stability involves a variation within +/- 0.5 bars. If this is not eective or the settings
cannot be changed, adopt electronic valve control parameters for perturbed systems
(see paragraph 8.3) The superheat swings even with the valve set in manual control (in the position cor­responding to the average of the working values)
Check for the causes of the swings (e.g. low refrigerant charge) and resolve where pos-
sible. If not possible, adopt electronic valve control parameters for perturbed systems
(see paragraph 8.3).
The superheat does NOT swing with the valve set in manual control (in the position corresponding to the average of the working values)
As a rst approach , decrease (by 30 to 50 %) the proportional factor. Subsequently
try increasing the integral time by the same percentage. In any case, adopt parameter
settings recommended for stable systems.
The superheat set point is too low Increase the superheat set point and check that the swings are reduced or disappear.
Initially set 13 °C, then gradually reduce the set point, making sure the system does not
start swinging again and that the unit temperature reaches the control set point.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
In the start-up phase with high evaporator tempe­ratures, the evaporation pressure is high
MOP protection disabled or ineective Activate the MOP protection by setting the threshold to the required saturated eva-
poration temperature (high evaporation temperature limit for the compressors) and setting the MOP integral time to a value above 0 (recommended 4 seconds). To make
the protection more reactive, decrease the MOP integral time. Refrigerant charge excessive for the system or extreme transitory conditions at start-up (for showcases only).
Apply a “soft start” technique, activating the utilities one at a time or in small groups. If
this is not possible, decrease the values of the MOP thresholds on all the utilities.
In the start-up phase the low pressure protection is activated (only for units with compressor on board)
The “Valve opening at start-up” parameter is set too low
Check the calculation in reference to the ratio between the rated cooling capacity of
the evaporator and the capacity of the valve; if necessary increase the value. The driver in conguration does not start control and the valve remains closed
Check the connections. Check that the pCO application connected to the driver (where
featured) correctly manages the driver start signal. Check that the driver is NOT in
stand-alone mode. The driver in stand-alone conguration does not start control and the valve remains closed
Check the connection of the digital input. Check that when the control signal is sent
that the input is closed correctly. Check that the driver is in stand-alone mode.
LOP protection disabled Set a LOP integral time greater than 0 sec. LOP protection ineective Make sure that the LOP protection threshold is at the required saturated evaporation
temperature (between the rated evaporation temperature of the unit and the corre-
sponding temperature at the calibration of the low pressure switch) and decrease the
value of the LOP integral time. Solenoid blocked Check that the solenoid opens correctly, check the electrical connections and the
operation of the relay. Insucient refrigerant Check that there are no bubbles in the sight glass upstream of the expansion valve.
Check that the subcooling is suitable (greater than 5 °C); otherwise charge the circuit. The valve is connected incorrectly (rotates in reverse) and is open
Check the movement of the valve by placing it in manual control and closing or ope-
ning it completely. One complete opening must bring a decrease in the superheat and
vice-versa. If the movement is reversed, check the electrical connections. Stator broken or connected incorrectly Disconnect the stator from the valve and the cable and measure the resistance of the
windings using an ordinary tester.
The resistance of both should be around 36 ohms. Otherwise replace the stator. Finally,
check the electrical connections of the cable to the driver. The “Valve opening at start-up” parameter is set too low
Check the calculation in reference to the ratio between the rated cooling capacity of
the evaporator and the capacity of the valve; if necessary lower the value.
The unit switches o due to low pressure during control (only for units with compressor on board)

operation of the control relay. Insucient refrigerant Check that there are no bubbles of air in the liquid indicator upstream of the expansion
valve. Check that the subcooling is suitable (greater than 5 °C); otherwise charge the

remains high, check the electrical connections and/or replace the valve.
The showcase does not reach the set temperature, despite the value being opened to the maximum (for multiplexed showcases only)

the use of the driver for the superheat control requires the use of the
evaporation pressure probe S1 and the suction temperature probe S2, which will be tted after the evaporator, and digital input 1/2 to enable control. As an alternative to digital input 1/2, control can be enabled via remote signal (tLAN, pLAN, RS485). For the positioning of the probes relating to other applications, see the chapter on “Control”;
inputs S1, S2 are programmable and the connection to the terminals
depends on the setting of the parameters. See the chapters on “Commissioning” and “Functions”;
pressure probe S1 in the diagram is ratiometric. See the general connection
diagram for the other electronic probes, 4 to 20 mA or combined;
four probes are needed for superheat control with BLDC compressors, two
to measure the superheat and two to measure the discharge superheat and the discharge temperature.

13.6 Auxiliary refrigerant
In the event of cascade systems comprising a main circuit and a secondary circuit, the auxiliary refrigerant is the refrigerant in the secondary circuit. See the paragraphs “Auxiliary control” and “Reverse high condensing temperature protection (HiTcond) on S3”. The default value 0 sets the same refrigerant as in the main circuit.

Note:
for cascade CO2 systems, at the end of the commissioning procedure, also
set the auxiliary refrigerant. See the paragraph on reverse HiTcond;
if the refrigerant is not among those available for the “Refrigerant”
parameter”:
1. set any refrigerant (e.g. R404);
2. select the model of valve, the pressure probe S1, the type of main control and end the commissioning procedure;
3. enter programming mode and set the type of refrigerant: custom, and the parameters “Dew a…f high/low” and “Bubble a…f high/low” that dene the refrigerant;
4. start control, for example by closing the digital input contact to enable operation.
13.7 S3 e S4 inputs
The auxiliary probe S3 is associated with the high condensing temperature protection or can be used as a backup probe for the main probe S1. If the probe being used is not included in the list, select any 0 to 5 V ratiometric or electronic 4 to 20 mA probe and then manually modify the minimum and maximum measurement in the manufacturer parameters corresponding to the probes.
Important: probes S3 and S4 are shown as NOT USED if the “auxiliary control” parameter is set as “disabled”. I f “auxiliary control” has any other setting, the manufacturer setting for the probe used will be shown, which can be selected according to the type.
Priority of digital inputs
In certain cases the setting of digital inputs 1 and 2 may be the same or alternatively may be incompatible (e.g.: digital input 1 = regulation backup, digital input 2 = regulation security). The problem thus arises to determine which function the driver needs to perform.
Consequently, each type of function is assigned a priority, primary (PRIM) or secondary (SEC), as shown in the table:
DI1/DI2 conguration Type of function
1=Disabled SEC 2=Valve regulation optimization after defrost SEC 3=Discharged battery alarm management SEC 4=Valve forced open (at 100%) SEC 5=Regulation start/stop PRIM 6=Regulation backup PRIM 7=Regulation security PRIM
Tab. 13.d
There are four possible cases of digital input congurations with primary or secondary functions.
Function set Function performed by digital input DI1 DI2 PRIM SEC
PRIM PRIM DI1 ­PRIM SEC DI1 DI2 SEC PRIM DI2 DI1 SEC SEC Regulation backup
(supervisor variable)
DI1
Tab. 13.e
Note that:
if digital inputs 1 and 2 are set to perform a PRIM function, only the function
set for input 1 is performed;
if the digital inputs 1 and 2 are set to perform a SEC function, only the SEC
function set for input 1 is performed; the driver will be set to “Regulation backup” with the value of the digital input determined by the “Regulation backup from supervisor” variable.
13.8 Main control – additional functions
The following additional functions are available using probes S3 and S4.
BLDC Control with compressor
Important: this type of control is incompatible with adaptive control
and autotuning.
To be able to use this control function, only available for CAREL valve drivers, the driver must be connected to a CAREL pCO programmable controller running an application able to manage a unit with BLDC scroll compressor. In addition, the compressor must be controlled by the CAREL Power+ “speed drive” (with inverter), specially designed to manage the speed prole required by the compressor operating specications. Two probes are needed for superheat control (PA, TA) plus two probes located downstream of the compressor (PB, TB) for discharge superheat and discharge temperature (TB) control.

For the high condensing temperature protection (only available with superheat control), an additional pressure probe is connected to S3 that measures the condensing pressure. For the modulating thermostat function (only available with superheat control), an additional temperature probe is connected to S4 that measures the temperature on used to perform temperature control (see the corresponding paragraph).

The last option (available if “main control” = 1 to 18) requires the installation of both probes S3 & S4, the rst pressure and the second temperature.

As already mentioned, the HITCond protection can only be enabled if the controller measures the condensing pressure/temperature, and responds moderately by closing the valve in the event where the condensing temperature reaches excessive values, to prevent the compressor from shutting down due to high pressure. The condensing pressure probe must be connected to input S3.

The integration time is set automatically based on the type of main control.
Note:
the protector is very useful in units with compressors on board if the air-
cooled condenser is undersized or dirty/malfunctioning in the more critical operating conditions (high outside temperature);
the protector has no purpose in multiplexed systems (showcases), where
the condensing pressure is maintained constant and the status of the individual electronic valves does not aect the pressure value.
To reduce the condensing temperature, the output of the refrigeration unit needs to be decreased. This can be done by controlled closing of the electronic valve, implying superheat is no longer controlled, and an increase in the superheat temperature. The protector will thus have a moderate reaction that tends to limit the increase in the condensing temperature, keeping it below the activation threshold while trying to stop the superheat from increasing as much as possible. Normal operating conditions will not resume based on the activation of the protector, but rather on the reduction in the outside temperature. The system will therefore remain in the best operating conditions (a little below the threshold) until the environmental conditions
change.

Note:
the High Tcond threshold must be greater than the rated condensing
temperature of the unit and lower then the calibration of the high pressure switch;
the closing of the valve will be limited if this causes an excessive decrease
in the evaporation temperature.
Modulating thermostat
This function is used, by connecting a temperature probe to input S4, to modulate the opening of the electronic valve so as to limit the lowering of the temperature read and consequently reach the control set point. This is useful in applications such as the multiplexed cabinets to avoid the typical swings in air temperature due to the ON/OFF control (thermostatic) of the solenoid valve. A temperature probe must be connected to input S4, located in a similar position to the one used for the traditional temperature control of the cabinet. In practice, the close the controlled temperature gets to the set point, the more the control function decreases the cooling capacity of the evaporator by closing the expansion valve. By correctly setting the related parameters (see below), a very stable cabinet temperature can be achieved around the set point, without ever closing the solenoid valve. The function is dened by three parameters: set point, dierential and oset.

Tab. 13.k
The rst two should have values similar to those set on the controller for the cabinet or utility whose temperature is being modulated. The oset, on the other hand, denes the intensity in closing the valve as the temperature decreases: the greater the oset, the more the valve will be modulated. The function is only active in a temperature band between the set point and the set point plus the dierential.
Important: the “Modulating thermostat” function should not be used on stand-alone refrigeration units, but only in centralised systems. In fact, in the former case closing the valve would cause a lowering of the pressure and consequently shut down the compressor.

parameter setting between 1 and 18.
In this case, pressure probe S3 and temperature probe S4 will be used to replace probes S1 and S2 respectively in the event of faults on one or both, so as to guarantee a high level of reliability of the controlled unit.

The subcooling measurement uses the dierence between the condensing temperature taken from the relative pressure reading and the temperature of the liquid refrigerant exiting the condenser. This measurement indicates the refrigerant charge in the circuit.
A value near 0 K indicates possible insucient refrigerant, which may cause a decline in circuit cooling eciency, a reduction in mass ow through the expansion valve and swings in superheat control. In addition, it may indicate a refrigerant leak in circuits where the nominal subcooling value is known.
A subcooling value that is too high, for example above 20 K, when not required by the application may indicate excessive refrigerant charge in the circuit, and can cause unusually high condensing pressure values with a consequent decline in circuit cooling eciency and possible compressor shutdown due to the high pressure switch tripping.
Reverse high condensing temperature protection (HiTcond) on S3
The aim of reverse HiTcond protection is to limit the condensing pressure in the refrigerant circuit by opening the valve rather than closing it. This function is recommended, rather than the HiTcond protection function described previously, in refrigerant circuits without a liquid receiver and where the condenser is smaller than the evaporator (e.g. air-to-water heat pumps). In this case, in fact, closing the valve would obstruct the ow of refrigerant to the condenser that, lacking sucient volume for the refrigerant to accumulate, would cause an increase in condensing pressure. This function is especially useful for condensers in CO
2
cascade systems. See the chapter on Protectors.

Important: opening the valve will probably also cause activation of the low superheat protection LowSH, which tends to limit the opening of the valve. The ratio between the integral times of these two concurrent yet opposing protectors determines how eective one is compared to the other.
Reverse HiTcond (for CO2 cascade systems)
Reverse high condensing temperature protection (HiTcond) on S3 is especially useful for condensers in CO
2
cascade systems, where condensation in the low temperature circuit (also called “secondary”, B) takes place when evaporating the refrigerant in the medium temperature circuit (“primary”, A).

The driver controls refrigerant superheat in the primary circuit (A), and at the same time measures the refrigerant condensing pressure in the secondary circuit (B). When the condensing temperature exceeds the HiTCond protection threshold, normal superheat control is overridden by forced opening of the valve, at a rate that is inversely proportional to the HiTCond protection integral time. Opening the EEV lowers the superheat in the primary circuit, which increases the heat exchange coecient and consequently reduces the condensing pressure in the secondary circuit.
The reverse HiTcond threshold for CO
2
cascade applications should be set in relation to the expected evaporation temperature in the primary circuit. The threshold must be set to a value that is at least 3-5°C higher than the minimum evaporation temperature in the primary circuit. Lower values make achieving the set pressure limit incompatible with heat exchange eciency. In addition, swings in operation may occur due the attempt to limit low superheat in the primary circuit and the pressure in the secondary circuit at the same time.
