Network address
The confi guration and programming of the Power+ drive, as well as the
run/stop commands and speed reference, are managed by a CAREL pCO
controller or by any BMS (Building Management System) via RS485 serial
connection with Modbus® protocol. The ModBus® network address can
be set from 1 to 246, and this number comprises the basic address set by
parameter, and the address set by the 4 dipswitches inside the drive, from
0 to 15. By changing the basic address, it is possible to cover the entire
range of addresses.
any changes to the device’s serial address, either on the dipswitches or via
the parameter, will only be eff ective when next powering on or resetting
the device.
The confi guration of the address set manually by the dipswitches on the
drive is shown below.

Important: If the PEC version inverters (with class B software structure) are not used, the thermal protection devices for overload and high pressure
must act directly on the compressor actuator, and must therefore be wired in series with the compressor contactor coil control. For the types of cable to be
used, see the power+ manual ( +0300094EN).
There are two confi gurations, one for medium temperature applications
and one for low temperature applications. The main diff erence involves
the double suction line required for low temperature applications; in this
case, the RPRV (fl ash gas) valve is optional.
There are other alternative confi gurations that require a system to inject
oil via an EEV (using an external driver) or capillary tube.
1. Medium temperature con guration
The confi guration defi ned for medium temperature applications involves
Hecu CO2 managing a DC compressor, with up to 2 on-off fans, an
electronic expansion valve for gas cooler pressure control (HPV) and an
electronic expansion valve for managing receiver pressure (RPRV). The
serial network allows monitoring and interaction with up to 5 evaporators
equipped with MPXPRO or UltraCella controllers, and a CAREL EEV
electronic expansion valve.

3. Serial network con guration
Hecu CO2 is fi tted with a built-in RS485 Fieldbus serial port and optional
RS485 BMS serial port. The RS485 Fieldbus serial line can be connected
to 2 Power+ inverters and up to 5 MPXPRO/UltraCella controllers. The
addresses are defi ned as shown in the following table. To simplify
commissioning with the default settings, it is recommended to set the
MPXPRO/UltraCella controllers with consecutive addresses, starting
from address 11. The following table shows the default values of serial
addresses for the connected MPXPRO/UltraCella controllers.
Serial address 3 is used for the parallel compressor inverter when this is
featured in the LT application.
Note: For LT units, the two inverter addresses must be 1 and 3. To
set these addresses (1 and 3), the corresponding dipswitches are set to 0
and 2, which when added to the basic address (1) will give the fi nal
addresses 1 and 3 (see the paragraph "Network address" on page 13).

Note: system communication is only compatible with MPXpro SW.
Important:
• A possible short circuit on the Fieldbus serial line will compromise
operation of the system compressor.
• As there is no software control on the connected device (MPXpro,
Ultracella), make sure during confi guration to set these correctly,
based on the physical address selected on the evaporator controller.
• To set the power+, MPXpro and UltraCella addresses, see the
corresponding manuals.
Important: The system is only compatible with MPXpro SW revision

2.10 Installation
For installation proceed as follows, with reference to the wiring diagrams:
• before performing any operations on the control board, disconnect
the main power supply by turning the main switch in the electrical
panel OFF;
• avoid touching the control board, as electrostatic discharges may
damage the electronic components;
• the index of protection required for the application must be ensured
by the manufacturer of the cabinet or by suitable assembly of the
controller;
• if there are several condensing units connected to the same electrical
panel, use a B or B+ residual current device when the compressors
are controlled by inverter; these protection devices must always be
installed always upstream of any AC/A/F RCDs (see the fi gure below):

• 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 the probe and digital input cables from
cables to inductive loads and power cables, so as to avoid possible
electromagnetic disturbance. Never run power cables (including the
electrical panel cables) and probe signal cables in the same conduits;
• do not install the probe cables in the immediate vicinity of power
devices (contactors, circuit breakers, etc.);
• reduce the path of probe cables as much as possible, and avoid spiral
paths that enclose power devices.
Important: Class A software structure: the thermal protection
devices for overload and high pressure must act directly on the
compressor actuator, and must therefore be wired in series with the
compressor contactor coil control.
Note: serial connection starts from terminal J10 on Hecu CO2 and
runs through the power+ inverter and all the MPXPRO controllers
installed on the refrigerated units. The maximum number of MPXPRO
controllers is 5, the limit for this application.
The following recommendations must be observed:
• connect the two twisted wires to the Tx/Rx+ and Tx/Rx- terminals;
• connect the single wire to the GND terminal;
• connect the shield to earth at one end only;
• use a shielded cable (e.g. Belden 3106A - AWG 22);
• For supervisor serial network connection only: connect a 120 Ω
terminating resistor between the Tx/Rx+ and Tx/Rx- terminals on the
last controller in the network (the one furthest away from Hecu).
Earth
Fig. 2.o
• connect any digital inputs, Lmax = 10 m;
• connect the temperature and pressure probes, Lmax = 10m;
• connect the electronic expansion valve cable the connectors J17 and
J21;
• connect the inverter serial communication cable to terminal J10 (if
featured);
• connect the PGDe terminal (required for commissioning) to connector
J17;
• connect the power supply to the controller and the inverter, where
featured;
• program the controller using the guided commissioning procedure:
see the chapter on “Commissioning”.
• connect the electrical loads to the relay outputs only after having
programmed the controller. Carefully evaluate the maximum ratings
of the relay outputs as indicated in the Technical specifi cations;
• connect the supervisor serial line to the optional BMS RS485 card.
Important: avoid installing the controllers in environments with
the following characteristics:
• relative humidity greater than 90% or with condensation;
• strong vibrations or knocks;
• exposure to water sprays;
• exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres (e.g.: sulphur and
ammonia gases, saline mist, smoke) which may cause corrosion and/
or oxidation;
• strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (thus avoid
installation near transmitting antennae);
• exposure to direct sunlight and the elements in general.

ENG
5.1 Guided commissioning procedure
Hecu CO2 can be setup the fi rst time from the pGDe or pLDpro user
terminal. If the controller has not yet been confi gured, the user terminal
shows the fi rst screen in a guided confi guration procedure, called the
wizard. Otherwise, the same menu can be accessed from branch: L Setup
>> b.wizard.
The main parameters needed for general confi guration are shown one at
a time. The wizard screens are all numbered in the top right corner; the
following explanations refer to this number. To go from one screen to the
next press È, to return to the previous screen press Ç.
Screen Lb01: indicates the type of system, medium or low temperature.
Screen Lb02: change unit of measure from SI (°C, barg) to Imperial (°F,
psig).
Screen Lb03: indicates the type and number of compressors.
Screen Lb08: indicates the compressor control set point and diff erential
set as default by CAREL based on the type of application and the
refrigerant. The type of control is always proportional and integral,
and when exiting the wizard, control will be fi xed set point only until
confi guring communication with the cabinets, when the fl oating suction
pressure set point can be enabled.
Screen Lb91: indicates the number of fans. A maximum of two fans can
be selected.
Screen Lb04: indicates the type of modulating device associated with
the compressor selected in the previous screen.
Screen Lb05: indicates the BLDC compressor model and the power+
inverter serial address (always = 1). This is used to understand whether
the inverter is on and connected via serial with Hecu.
Screen Lb06: indicates whether the connected model of inverter is
compatible and if so automatically downloads some typical compressor
parameters to the inverter. The parameters can also be written manually
by selecting “Yes” for Write default.
Screen Lb92: indicates the type of fans, ON-OFF, modulating PWM or
0-10 V.
Screen Lb95: indicates gas cooler control based on temperature.
Screen Lb96 Lb97: indicates the type of control and the working set
point and diff erential for the fans.
Screen Lb99: indicates which valves have been installed on the unit for
management of CO2, and the type
Screen Lb3a: indicates the end of the wizard procedure. Pressing ENTER
ends the procedure, and the system will be confi gured based on the
options selected.
Screen Lb07: indicates compressor control based on pressure and the
corresponding refrigerant.
Important: wait a few seconds for the automatic default value
download procedure to be completed.

6. FUNCTIONS
6.1 Unit ON/OFF
The unit can be switched on and off as follows:
• User terminal
• Supervisor
• Digital input
On-off from the user terminal and the confi guration parameters are
available under the main menu, branch Ac
On-off from the supervisor and from the digital input and start-up after a
blackout (with specifi c delay, to avoid continuous starts and stops in the
event of instability in the power supply) need be enabled.
On-off from the digital input is equivalent to an enabling signal, that is, if
the digital input is Off the unit cannot be switched on in any other way,
while if it is On, the unit can be switched on or off in any other way, with
the same priority (the most recent has precedence, whatever the origin),
as shown in the fi gure:
Digital Input
User interface
Supervisor
Unit On/O
Fig. 6.a
Note: certain special conditions or functions in the Hecu CO2
software require the unit to be powered off :
• Confi guration of certain parameters: e.g. inputs/outputs, confi guration
of compressors, inverter parameters.
• Installation of default parameters
• Manual management
Manual con guration
Hecu CO2 automatically downloads the optimised parameters for each
model of compressor at the end of the wizard procedure.
If the model of compressor is changed or the power+ is replaced, the new
system can be confi gured manually under Compressors Æ Advanced
Æscreen Cag01.
Hecu CO2 and power+ must be powered and connected via serial; the
address of power+ must be 1 (default).
The type of compressor is selected from the list of available compressors;
the number of motor poles and the correct model of power+ are defi ned
automatically.
Select YES for Set defaults and press ENTER.
If the model of power+ (as read by power+) is the same model or larger
than the power+ selected based on the type of BLDC compressor, the
default values can be written and Hecu CO2 can control the compressor.
Otherwise, the message "Not compatible" will be shown.
Envelope management
The envelope is the set of operating points in which a compressor can
operate safely for an indefi nite time. This can be represented graphically
by drawing the limits inside which the operating conditions must be
maintained. The fi gure shows the envelope for the Toshiba DY/RY series
compressors.
6.2 BLDC compressor
A maximum of 2 BLDC compressors can be managed using the Power+
inverter. The type of compressor is selected under Compressors Æ
Confi guration (Cag01).
The BLDC compressor is managed via Modbus and works only if
connected to a CAREL power+ inverter. If there is no communication
with the inverter, the compressor will not be able to operate.
Below is the list of compressors that are currently available:
Note: go to ksa.carel.com to check the updated list of compressors

The envelope limits consist of:

• Minimum and maximum discharge pressure
• Minimum and maximum suction pressure
• Minimum and maximum compression ratio (CR)
• Maximum current drawn by the compressor
The operating conditions are defi ned by:
• Suction pressure
• Discharge pressure
• Discharge temperature
• Rotation speed (rps)
The maximum discharge pressure can be limited due to construction
requirements of the circuit; in this case, a limit will be applied to the
maximum discharge temperature. The shape of the envelope can change
as compressor speed varies, and with this the operating conditions that
are considered safe for the compressor. It is therefore possible that a
certain pair of operating pressures is considered safe (inside the envelope)
at a certain speed, and unsafe (outside of envelope) at another speed.
Hecu CO2 +0300085EN rel. 2.2 - 07.05.2019

ENG
If the operating conditions are close to the envelope limit or outside
of this, the controller applies corrective actions in an attempt to keep
the operating point inside the limits specifi ed by the manufacturer. It
is therefore possible that in such cases, the actual compressor speed
does not correspond to the cooling capacity request of the temperature
controller, that superheat is not maintained at the set point, or that the
discharge pressure is not kept at the optimal value. If the operating
conditions remain outside of the envelope for a time exceeding the alarm
threshold (screen Cag55, default 60 s), the compressor is stopped and an
out-of-envelope alarm is signalled.

Compressor prevent function:
by managing the envelope, compressor "Prevent" actions can be applied
to attempt to avoid shutdown due to the high discharge pressure and
temperature thresholds.
The settings are made on the following screens:

The compressor can be forced OFF if the suction pressure falls below the

screen:
Start-up
Hecu CO2 manages compressor start-up in the best way possible,
adapting operating speed so as to guarantee that the desired conditions
and excellent lubrication are reached very quickly.
For this reason, when starting the compressor is operated at a settable
fi xed speed (Cag52) for the minimum ON time, Fig. 6.c. During this stage,
the out-of-envelope alarm is disabled, but speed control remains active
if approaching or exceeding zone 2 (maximum compression ratio), 3
(maximum condensing pressure) or 4 (current limit).

If after 15 seconds from when the compressor starts the pressure

Hecu CO2 stops the compressor and generates a "No compressor startup” alarm. This alarm is automatically reset and Hecu CO2 tries to start the
compressor fi ve times after a 30 second delay. After the fi fth attempt the
alarm is no longer automatically reset.

If equalisation is based on the pressure diff erential (delta), the controller
measures the DeltaP between compressor suction and discharge
pressure. When the diff erential is below the value set on screen Cag49,
the compressor is enabled to start.
In the event of timed equalisation, the controller will not measure the
pressure diff erential but rather will enable the compressor to start after
a fi xed equalisation time, equal to the minimum compressor off time,
which can be set on screen Caf35.
Pressure di erential during start-up
The BLDC compressor cannot start if the pressure diff erential is greater
than a threshold defi ned by the compressor manufacturer. This limit
depends on the maximum current delivered by the inverter. As soon
as the pressure diff erential falls below the minimum threshold, the
compressor can start.
The corresponding parameters are found under Compressors Æ
Advanced Æ screen Cag49:
When the pressure diff erential is below 1 barg – 0.5 barg (fi xed value), the
compressor is ready to start.
Equalisation
Hecu CO2 makes it possible to equalise the pressure across the
compressor, simplifying condensing unit start-up. The equalisation mode
can be selected on screen Caf18: either "DELTA PRESSURE" or "TIME".
The valves used for equalisation and the percentage of opening to be
maintained during the procedure can be set on screen Caf19. For Hecu
CO2, the following valves can be selected: HPV, RPRV and bypass solenoid.
Hecu CO2 +0300085EN rel. 2.2 - 07.05.2019

After compressor start-up, a delay can be set on screen Caf32 for closing
the selected equalisation valves.
For the LT confi guration, LT compressor equalisation can only be
managed using the bypass solenoid valve.
ENG
Compressor crankcase heater:
Crankcase heating for BLDC compressors is required when the system is
being evacuated and oil lubrication is reduced due the presence of water
droplets, or when the compressor is off at low outside temperatures.
This function can be activated even without using an external heater,
but rather exploiting a special function implemented in the inverter that
controls the compressor.
The function is selected on the following screens:
DSH control
Hecu CO2 controls superheat on the compressor discharge line at the
same time as superheat on the suction line.
If suction superheat is less than 0K and discharge superheat is less than
10K, a countdown starts to set off the corresponding alarm (DSH Low
Liquid Flowback).
The alarm activation delay can be set on screen Cae41 and can be
diff erentiated for diff erent stages of operation: compressor start-up,
steady operation, defrost/washing active.
Vacuum function:
A manual procedure is available to evacuate the system; to do this, follow
the steps described in the Manual Management Branch (Bbdxx).
Screen Cag44 is used to deactivate the function based on the outside/
ambient temperature; if "COMP OFF" mode is selected on screen Cag43.
For Toshiba compressors, the recommended values to be set for
the Crankcase current (Cag43) must be between the minimum and
maximum values shown in the following table:
(*) The crankcase current percentage value and the three-phase heat
generated in the motor windings (minimum and maximum) are
calculated at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
The current value to be applied can be adjusted depending on the
outside temperature, considering that it is not possible to exceed a
temperature of 55°C in the rotor windings when the unit is off .

The set point is in the centre of the band. Proportional control is illustrated
in the following fi gure:
During this procedure, the compressor crankcase can be preheated

Floating set point
This software function is available by exploiting serial communication
with the evaporators. Serial communication allows information to be
exchanged in real time between the main Hecu CO2 controller and the
MPXPRO devices.
Hecu CO2 uses an advanced algorithm to adapt the condensing unit
suction pressure set point based on the request from each evaporator,
then weighing it according to evaporator capacity. Signifi cant variations
in request due to certain evaporator operating states, such as defrost, are
managed by Hecu, maintaining fi ne, stable control.

Pumpdown
The compressor OFF function by pumpdown can be enabled on screen
Cag03. This function keeps the compressor on until the pumpdown
pressure threshold is reached, within the maximum time set on the same
screen.
Note: the MPXPRO controllers installed on the evaporators
implement the Smooth Lines function (see MPXPRO manual +0300055).
This function signifi cantly reduces the number of ON-OFF cycles in
traditional control by modulating the evaporator temperature using an
electronic expansion valve and adapting the superheat set point using
appropriate PI control based on the eff ective control temperature.
This function can be enabled and confi gured manually or automatically.
• The automatic procedure involves the Fast Commissioning operation
described in chapter 7, which automatically confi gures the control
parameters on both the condensing unit and the evaporators, using
the default values optimised by CAREL, yet amply modifi able.
• To confi gure the function manually, make sure that there is a serial
connection with the MPXPRO controllers on the evaporators, and
choose the type of control on screen Cab01. The Smooth Lines
function will then need to be confi gured on the MPXPRO controllers,
as described in the next chapter.
The unit fl oating suction pressure set point can vary between a settable
minimum and maximum value. The minimum and maximum limits for
the fl oating set point are shown on screen Cab04, in line with the limits
set on screen Cab02.
Low ambient (outside) temperature prevention:
This function prevents the unit from stopping due to low outside
temperatures.
The function can be activated if all of the following conditions are true:
1. Enabling selected
2. The evaporator request is greater than 0% (MPXPRO or ULTRACELLA
connected) or "Enable compressor from DI" is ACTIVE or the
diff erential pressure threshold (Prec - Psuc) is less than the set value
(default 2 bars).
3. The outside temperature is less than the value set (default -18°C)
4. The compressor request is = 0% and the compressor speed is = 0 for
longer than the set time (default 30 minutes)
The settings are made on the following screen
Hecu CO2 +0300085EN rel. 2.2 - 07.05.2019
When the function is activated:
1. The compressor set point is decreased by a settable value (default 8

The function can be deactivated when at least one of the following
conditions is true:
1. Compressor control OFF
2. Active compressor alarms
3. The cut-off threshold has been reached (P suction < cut-off threshold)
4. The evaporator request is equal to 0% (from MPXPRO or ULTRACELLA)

DSS3: screen Fib04
Start the parallel compressor (L1) when starting the LT compressor (L2).
If NO is selected, the parallel compressor cannot start without a request.
When DSS1 is enabled, the following parameters remain hidden on
screen Fib04:
• Switch on period: 180s (hidden). During this period, the parallel
compressor request is forced to 50% to allow it to be started;
• Timeout: 180s (hidden). The LT compressor waits for the parallel
compressor to start, however is switched on in any case after the set
timeout has elapsed;
• Force off line 2 if line 1 is off : YES (hidden). The LT compressor (L2) is
switched off when the parallel compressor (L1) is switched off .
When DSS1 is NOT enabled, the following parameters can be modifi ed
on screen Fib04:
When the function is deactivated:
The compressor set point is reset to its normal value over a set time
(default 2 min, see time on screen Cad15).
6.4 Compressor management on LT units
(DSS and independent)
Management with DSS1 and DSS3
This involves synchronised management of the compressors. It
is recommended to activate both DSS1 and DSS3 so as to avoid
simultaneous compressor starts and optimise operation of the LT stage
in all operating conditions.
Below is a description of the functions that can be set:
DSS1: screen Fib02
This function prevents the two compressors from starting simultaneously.
Once the required percentage for activation has been reached, the LT
compressor waits for the parallel compressor to start, and then is turn
started after a set delay.
• Switch on period: 0-999s (def 180, this is the time that the parallel
compressor request is forced to 50% to allow it to start);
• Timeout: 0-999s (def. 180s; this is the time that the LT compressor waits
for the parallel compressor to start, after the set timeout it is switched
on in any case);
• Force off line 2 if line 1 is off : NO/YES.
• YES Æ forces the LT compressor off if the parallel compressor cannot
start.
• NO Æ forces the LT compressor off if there is an alarm on the parallel
compressor.
Independent management
Activating independent management on screen Fib05 automatically
disables DSS1 and DSS3, and the compressors can be switched on/off
independently, based on their own request. Some safety logic s also
guaranteed.
Below is a description of the functions that can be set.
By selecting YES, functions DSS1 and DSS3 are automatically disabled
and:
• the LT compressor can start even if activation of the parallel compressor
is NOT requested;
• the LT compressor cannot start if the parallel compressor is off due to
timing or alarms;
• the Parallel compressor is not activated if the LT compressor is not
operating (no LT required, LT compressor off due to timing or alarms).

Oil injection
Oil return is a critical factor when using BLDC compressors. Hecu CO2

compressor. The related confi gurations can be set on screen Fab15.
Capillary valve
The simplest solution is to use a capillary valve, with fi xed opening,
calibrated based on rated conditions. This solution however creates
ineffi ciencies, by injecting or less oil than required by the compressor.

Speed up
Hecu CO2 can manage the speed up function, used to overcome the
initial inertia of the fans. The function can be enabled and the related
parameters set in main menu branch Dg13.
If speed up is enabled, a start time can be set in which the fan speed is
forced to 100%. If the outside temperature sensor is used, moreover, a
threshold can be set (with reset diff erential) below which speed up is
disabled, so as to not drastically lower the condensing pressure at startup.
Floating condensing pressure set point
For the condenser line, the fl oating set point enabled on screen Dd05)
is based on the outside temperature. The fl oating condensing pressure
set point is achieved by adding a constant programmable value to the
outside temperature and limiting the resulting value between a settable
minimum (Db02) and the set point defi ned on screen Dd06, as shown
in the fi gure:

Electronic expansion valve (EEV LEVEL MNG)
This solution involves a CAREL expansion valve. The valve opening is
calibrated based on normal system operating conditions. This solution is
very effi cient from an energy viewpoint, as it injects the exact quantity of
oil needed by the compressor. In order to use this function, an advanced
oil separator needs to be installed, featuring a level sensor that defi nes
three states via two digital inputs, confi gurable on screens Faa55, Faa56.
An advanced algorithm calculates valve opening based on the time that
elapses between the various states, comparing this against the previous
measurements. The objective is to replicate the oil level inside the
compressor by measuring the amount in the separator and keeping this
level stable over time.

This solution features an expansion valve driven by an external driver
(EVDevo, EVD mini), confi gured as a positioner that receives the 0...10 V
control signal from the Hecu unit.
This is exploited when integrated drivers for the oil valve cannot be used
on Hecu CO2 as they are reserved for transcritical valves. Valve opening
is calibrated based on the BLDC compressor operating conditions (MT
or LT, not parallel), adjusted proportionally based on compressor speed.
A standard oil separator can be installed to exploit this function.
The parameters can be confi gured from screens Bad14 for assigning the
analogue output, and Fab15 to enablòe the function.

Oil Recovery Washing
Another function available on Hecu CO2 to assist oil return to the

recovery washing function sets the superheat set point to 0K for a
settable time t1 [default 3 minutes] in order to retrieve the oil spread

This override function is activated if the following conditions are true, see
screens Fab15, Fab23:
• Speed boost: YES
• Compressor speed < minimum threshold
• The previous conditions remain for a set time
Hecu CO2 +0300085EN rel. 2.2 - 07.05.2019
Note: to make this function more eff ective, the electronic expansion
valve on the evaporator opens fully at the start of the recovery washing
cycle and then its position is controlled automatically based on the new
superheat set point.
td is the time at the end of a washing cycle for which compressor speed
remains fi xed, and valve opening returns to the same position as prior
to activation of the function [default 2 minutes]. If this value is set to 0,
at the end of a washing cycle the system will restart without overriding
compressor speed and keeping the valve at the previous opening
position for a set time. During a washing cycle, the following conditions
are set:
• Oil recovery washing: ON
• Smooth Line: OFF
• P3: 0K
• P7: -10K
• St: -50°C

Washing of individual cabinets can be confi gured exclusively in sequential
mode.
Then select the digital output on screen Faa68.
The DO will be used by third-party controllers (evaporators) to activate
cabinet set point compensation: for example, from 5°C to -50°C. This
action will open the expansion valve and at the same time the superheat
control will remain active to avoid the return of liquid on the unit’s suction
line. The number of wash cycles is selected on the following screen.
Note: this function will be less eff ective than the one Carel provides
via serial connection of the evaporators managed by MPXPRO and
UltraCella controllers.
tON is the duration of each single washing cycle. “N. of washing per day in
each evap.” is the number of washing cycles per day for each evaporator.
Fixing time is the transition time at the end of each single washing cycle
to keep the system in stable conditions.
If using evaporators managed by non-Carel controllers (third party
devices), a digital output can be used, as described in the following
paragraph.
Digital output for cabinet washing
The purpose of this function is to exploit the "Hecu wash" function to
enable a digital output that can be used to "wash" evaporators with thirdparty controllers.
To activate this function, the evaporators with MPX/UltraCella
controllers must not be enabled, then on screen Fab15 enable the
washing cycles as shown below:
Compressor “ready” digital output
On screen Baccm, a digital output can be selected that is activated when
the compressor is "ready". This means that it is able to deliver its cooling
capacity.
On stand-alone units, this can be used as a "control" digital input on the
cabinets to improve control/synchronization between the condensing
unit and the evaporators.
The function is NOT active when:
• The compressor is off due to timers (minimum Off time or timer
between starts)
• The compressor is off due to cut-off
• On LT units, if the compressor is off due to the DSS function
• The compressor is off due to an alarm, with the following exceptions
(to prevent the unit from shutting down):
– Low suction pressure alarm
– Low SH

Evaporator requests
To roughly synchronise the condenser unit with evaporators managed by
third-party controllers (for example, when defrosting),
a digital input can be confi gured (on screen Baadh). This means that the
compressor does not start until the DI is activated, even if the suction
pressure is higher than the set point.
The DI is confi gured on the following screen:

6.7 HPV valve management
Management of the HPV valves, which separates the high pressure part of
the system from the medium pressure part, determines the transcritical
and subcritical operating mode of the unit. In transcritical mode, the
valve is controlled so as to obtain maximum effi ciency, while in subcritical
mode subcooling is controlled.
The HPV valve has proportional + integral (PI) control, with the set point
based on an optimal gas cooler pressure value calculated using the gas
cooler pressure and temperature, as described below. Enabling HPV
valve management means also enabling system transcritical mode.
The HPV valve can be managed directly by Hecu CO2 via the driver
integrated into the controller. The algorithm for calculating the HPV valve
control set point can be optimised or customised by the user, using the
parameter settings.

The optimised set point is calculated as shown in the fi gure.

Custom set point calculation
The custom set point diff ers from optimised control in that the curve
in the subcritical phase is a straight line and is defi ned by the user, and
therefore the bands and the set point can be customised by the user.
The behaviour in the remaining bands is as described for the optimised
algorithm.
HPV valve auxiliary functions
HPV valve management includes some auxiliary functions:
• Pre-positioning: when switching the unit ON, the HPV valve remains
in a fi xed position set by parameter for a set time, so as to be able
to quickly increase the pressure in the receiver. This procedure is
reactivated whenever the unit switches OFF or the HPV valve is reset to
the minimum position when all of the compressors stop (opt.).
• Close valve with compressors o : if all of the medium temperature
compressors are switched off , the HPV valve can move to the
minimum opening when OFF, which can be set by parameter. When
a compressor restarts, valve control resumes, with the pre-positioning
procedure described in the previous point.
• Minimum and maximum opening values: the minimum opening
when OFF (from keypad, digital input or supervisor) and when ON can
be diff erentiated, while there is only one maximum opening value.
• Maximum percentage variation: the valve movement cannot exceed
the set maximum percentage variation per second.
• Set point lter: the HPV valve control set point is calculated taking into
account the average of the last n samples (maximum 99), so as to avoid
sudden variations due to the high variability of the gas cooler outlet
temperature.
• Minimum set point: a minimum value can be set for the HPV valve set
point; the set point can never fall below this value, regardless of the
parameters entered, so as to protect the compressors.
• Set point deviation alarm: if the gas cooler pressure remains too far
away from the calculated set point for too long (settable threshold and
delay), an alarm can be signalled.

Receiver pressure control using the HPV valve
If the receiver pressure falls below the set minimum operating pressure
threshold, the dynamic set point calculated for the HPV valve can be
adjusted, so as to increase the pressure inside the receiver. An off set
proportional to the deviation from the minimum threshold is subtracted
from the calculated set point, so that opening the HPV valve further
increases the pressure in the receiver. The off set is directly proportional
to the deviation from the minimum operating threshold, as shown in the
fi gure:

Vice-versa, if the receiver pressure rises above the set maximum operating
pressure threshold, the dynamic set point calculated for the HPV valve
can be adjusted, so as to decrease the pressure inside the receiver.
An off set proportional to the deviation from the maximum threshold is
added to the calculated set point, so that closing the HPV valve further
decreases the pressure in the receiver.
The off set is directly proportional to the deviation from the maximum
operating threshold, as shown in the fi gure:

6.9 Generic functions
Hecu CO2 can use the free inputs / outputs and certain internal variables
for a number of generic functions.
The following generic functions are available for each board:
• 5 stages
• 2 modulation functions
• 2 alarms
Each function can be enabled/disabled by digital input and on the
user interface. The generic functions can be enabled and the related
parameters set in main menu branch Ff To be able to use the free inputs,
these fi rst need to be confi gured as generic from probes A to E (analogue
inputs) and general inputs from F to J (digital inputs), consequently a
maximum of fi ve analogue inputs and fi ve digital inputs can be used.
After having confi gured the generic probes, the associated variables
can be used as control variables, and the digital inputs as variables for
enabling the functions. As well as the generic probes and inputs, other
internal variables in the Hecu CO2 software can be used, depending on
system confi guration.
Examples:
for analogue variables:
• Suction pressure
• Condensing pressure
• Saturated suction temperature
• Saturated condensing temperature
• Suction temperature
• Discharge temperature
• % of compressors on
• % of fans on
• Superheat
• Subcooling
• Liquid temperature
• % of compressor request
• % of fan request
for digital variables:
• High suction pressure alarm
• Low suction pressure alarm
• High condensing pressure alarm
• Heartbeat
Each generic function can be assigned a unit of measure and a description.
Below are descriptions of how the three types of generic functions work.
Stages
Hecu CO2 can manage up to fi ve stage functions, with either direct or
reverse operation. In both cases, a set point and a diff erential can be
defi ned; operation of the corresponding output is shown in the fi gure
below, for both cases:
Direct stage
Di.Di.
Setpoint
Reverse stage
Di.Di.
Setpoint
Regulation
variable
Regulation
variable
Fig. 6.w
If a variable has been set to enable the function, the output connected to
the stage will be active when the enabling variable is active.
For each stage, there is a high alarm threshold and a low alarm threshold,
both absolute values. For each alarm, the activation delay and priority can
be confi gured.
Modulation
Hecu CO2 can manage two modulation functions, with either direct or
reverse operation. In both cases, a set point and a diff erential can be
defi ned; operation of the corresponding output is shown in the fi gure for
direct operation, with the cut-off function also enabled:

variable
Fig. 6.x
If a variable has been set to enable the function, the output connected
to the stage will be active when the enabling variable is active. For each
modulation function, there is a high alarm threshold and a low alarm
threshold, both absolute values. For each alarm, the activation delay
and priority can be confi gured. A minimum and maximum value of the
modulation output can also be set, and the cut-off function enabled,
which works as shown in the previous fi gure.
Alarms
Hecu CO2 can manage two alarm functions, by confi guring the digital
variable to be monitored, the activation delay, the priority and an
optional description. Each generic alarm function can be associated with
a digital output for activating external devices when the alarm occurs.
One example of a generic alarm functions is detecting gas leaks.
Hecu CO2 +0300085EN rel. 2.2 - 07.05.2019

6.10 Default value management
Hecu CO2 can manage two diff erent sets of default values:
• user defaults
• Carel defaults
Either of the two sets can be activated from the main menu branch I.d.
Important: after having reset the default values, the Hecu CO2
board needs to be powered off and on again.
Saving and restoring user default values
Hecu CO2 can save on the controller the exact confi guration set by the
user and then reload it at any time.
All of the set values are saved, therefore loading the user defaults restores
the exact same conditions of the Hecu CO2 controller at the moment the
values were saved.
Note: only one user default confi guration can be saved, therefore if
saving the values another time, the new values overwrite the previous
ones.
Important:
• the procedure for resetting the Carel default values involves clearing
the Hecu permanent memory, therefore the operation is irreversible;
• the user values cannot be reloaded if updating the Hecu software; for
further details please see Chap. 9, which describes how to save the
parameters for diff erent versions of the software.
ENG
Loading the Carel default values
The values pre-defi ned by Carel can be loaded at any time, restoring
the Hecu CO2 default settings, and therefore repeating the start-up
procedure described previously.
Important: he procedure for resetting the Carel default values
involves clearing the Hecu permanent memory, therefore the operation
is irreversible.
Note: to repeat the Wizard, the Carel default values fi rst need to be
reset.

The parameter settings for A5 and A9 are described below.
1 = Immediate external alarm
Application: external alarm that requires immediate activation (for
example, high pressure alarm or compressor thermal overload).
Activation of the alarm:
1. • shows the message on the display ('IA');
• activates the buzzer, if enabled;
• activates the alarm relay, if selected;
2. involves the following actions on the actuators:
• fans: continue to operate according to the fan parameters ("F").
Note: if more than one input is confi gured as an immediate alarm,
the alarm is generated when one of the inputs opens.
Digital inputs
Note: digital input 1 (DI1) is used for the door switch by default,
however this can be confi gured for DI2 and DI3
If the door switch is not used (for example, connected to DI1), it can be
disabled by setting A3=1 and A11=5 (default value) or another function
can be associated with DI1, see Table 4b.

If A3=0 and the door switch is not connected, the controller will activate
the "door open" icon. To prevent incorrect messages being displayed, set
A3=1 or short-circuit pin 21 (DI1) to one of the GND pins.
Multiple contacts can be connected to the multifunction digital inputs to
activate diff erent types of functions, such as alarm, start/stop defrost, low
pressure switch, etc.
Important: to guarantee the safety of the unit in the event of
serious alarms, all the electromechanical safety devices necessary
to ensure correct operation must be provided on the unit itself.

when the defrost will be performed completely.
Tab. 7.n
Note: this function may be useful to prevent defrosts on units
exposed to the public during store opening hours.
4 = Start defrost from external contact
Application: this function is useful for carrying out synchronised defrosts
on several units, or manual defrosts controlled by an external contact. To
do this, simply connect a mechanical or electronic timer to the selected
digital input. Several units can be connected to the same timer, setting
diff erent values for parameter d5 (defrost delay from multifunction input)
to avoid simultaneous defrosts.

Application: an external device is used to start the defrost (on closing
the digital input) and subsequently stop it (on opening the digital input).
When the digital input opens, the dripping time set for parameter dd
must then elapse.
Note:
• if following the start of the defrost, the digital input does not open
before the time dP1 elapses, the defrost will terminate by time and
alarm Ed1 will be displayed (defrost ended by timeout.
• opening the digital input does not start the defrost only if the
defrost probe (e.g. B2) temperature is greater than dt1 (end defrost
temperature on main evaporator).
• if a separate defrost is confi gured on two evaporators (d13=1) and
start/stop defrost from external contact is set, both evaporators are
defrosted at the same time.
17 = serious alarm
Application: external alarm that causes the immediate deactivation of the
outputs on UltraCella (except those confi gured as a light/alarm) so as to
prevent a dangerous situation. This can be used, for example, to stop the
compressor following activation of an external protection device.
Activation of the alarm causes:
• shows the message on the display (‘SA');
• activates the buzzer, if enabled;
• activates the alarm relay, if selected;
Involves the following actions on the actuators:
• immediate deactivation of all the outputs (relays), except for those
confi gured as lights and/or alarms.
Note: if more than one digital input is confi gured as a serious
alarm, the alarm is generated when one of the inputs opens.
Type of defrost
UltraCella can manage the following types of defrost, depending on the
setting of parameter d0:

Electronic valve control
The superheat control function calculates the valve position based on the
current superheat reading and the set point. PID control (Proportional,
Integral, Derivative) is the sum of three distinct actions:
Proportional action (P) parameter K=proportional gain:
The proportional action opens or closes the valve by K steps when
superheat increases or decreases by 1°C. Thus the greater the K the
higher the response speed of the valve to variations in superheat. The
proportional action is fundamental as it aff ects the speed of the valve in
general.
However it only considers variations in superheat and not the variation
in relation to the set point. If superheat does not vary signifi cantly, the
valve will remain stable and the superheat set point may not be reached.
Integral action (I) parameter Ti=integral time (sec):
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 the integral time (Ti), the more intense the action will be.
The integral action is necessary to ensure that superheat reaches the set
point.
Derivative action (I) parameter Td=derivative time (sec):
The derivative action is linked to the speed of variation of the superheat
value, that is, the gradient at which superheat changes from instant to
instant. It tends to react to any sudden variations, and has greater eff ect
the higher the values of Td.
Smooth Lines function
The smooth lines function optimises evaporator capacity based on
actual cooling demand, allowing more eff ective and stable control of the
showcase. This function completely eliminates traditional on/off control
cycles, modulating the temperature exclusively using the electronic valve;
superheat set point is controlled through a precise PI control algorithm
based on the actual control temperature. The main features are:
• The superheat set point for managing the electronic expansion valve
can vary between a minimum (traditional set point P3) and maximum
limit (P3 + PHS: max. off set) using PI control (pre-confi gured), based on
the controller temperature and how far this is from the corresponding
set point St
• The temperature inside the cabinet/showcase can fall slightly below
the set point St, without stopping the main control, however simply
closing the electronic valve
• Temperature control (and consequently the solenoid valve relay)
therefore remains active at all times, while the electronic expansion
valve stops the fl ow of refrigerant into the evaporator
• It is easy to use, as it is the controller itself that automatically adapts
control based on current operation, without requiring special
parameter settings
The main eff ects are:
• No swings in temperature and superheat due to the set point being
reached
• Stable temperature and superheat control
• Maximum energy savings due to load stabilisation
Selecting the superheat set point and control parameters
The superheat set point needs to be defi ned based on the design
specifi cations of the controlled unit. Despite this, based on actual system
conditions, this may be changed at any time. A low set point ensures
better evaporator effi ciency and a low air temperature can be reached
more easily. In contrast, instability can be created in the system, with
greater variations in superheat and liquid returning to the compressor.
A high set point ensures high system stability and lower variations
in superheat. However evaporator effi ciency is penalised and the air
temperature set point may not be reached.
As regards the control parameters, the following can be used as a guide:
Proportional gain (from 3 to 30)
Increasing the proportional gain K increases valve response speed and
is recommended if the system is particularly perturbed or to make
superheat control faster. If greater than 20, it may cause swings and
instability.
Integral time (from 40 to 400 sec)
Increasing the integral time Ti improves stability but makes the valve
slower to respond in reaching the set point. If less than 40 sec, it may
cause swings and instability. If the system is already perturbed, high
values (greater than 150 sec) are recommended to avoid creating further
disturbance.
Derivative time (from 0 to 10 sec)
Increasing the derivative time Td improves valve response, in particular in
perturbed systems, and reduced the amplitude of swings in superheat.
If greater than 10 sec it may cause excessively fast response and
consequently instability.

LowSH Low superheat protection.
To prevent too low superheat values that may cause the return of liquid to
the compressor or system instability (swings), a low superheat threshold
can be defi ned, below which a special protection function is activated.
When the superheat falls below the threshold, the system immediately
enters low superheat status and activates an integral control action, which
added to normal control is aimed at closing the electronic valve more
quickly. In practice, the intensity of the system’s “reaction” is increased. If
the device remains in low superheat status for a certain period, a low
superheat alarm is activated, with the display showing the message ‘LSH’,
if enabled. The low superheat signal features automatic reset, when the
condition is no longer present or the controller is switched off (standby).
When low superheat status is activated, any local solenoid valves can be
forced closed (parameter P10).

The purpose of this function is to prevent the compressor from starting
when one or more evaporators are defrosting. When the compressor
stops (due to control, alarm, ...) if the "available" capacity is higher than
the threshold (% of total capacity), the compressor can start normally,
otherwise it stays off until the evaporators fi nish defrosting or the suction
pressure is higher than a settable safety threshold.

8. SIGNALS AND ALARMS
ENG
Hecu CO2 can manage both alarms relating to the status of the digital
inputs and to system operation. For each alarm, the following are
controlled:
• Actions on the devices, if necessary
• Output relays (one global and two with diff erent priorities, if confi gured)
• The red LED on the terminal and the buzzer, where featured
• The type of acknowledgement (automatic, manual, semi-automatic)
• Any activation delay
The complete list of alarms, with the related information as described
above, is available in the Alarm table.
8.1 Alarm management
All alarms feature the following behaviour:
• When an alarm is activated, the red LED fl ashes and the buzzer is
activated (where featured); the relay corresponding to the global alarm
and any alarms with high priority is activated (if confi gured)
• Pressing (Alarm), the red LED stays on steady, the buzzer is muted
and the alarm screen is shown
• If there is more than one active alarm, these can be scrolled using
(Down). This situation is signalled by an arrow at the bottom
(Up)
right on the screen
• Press (Alarm) again for at least 3 seconds manually acknowledges
the alarms, which are cleared from the display unless others are active
(they are saved in the log)
Log
The alarm log can be accessed:
• from branch H.a of the main menu
• by pressing (Alarm) and then (Enter) when there are no active
alarms
• by pressing (Enter). After having scrolled all of the alarms.
The alarm log screens show:
1. Order of activation (no. 01 is the oldest alarm)
2. Time and date the alarm was activated
3. Short description
4. Main values at the moment the alarm occurred (suction pressure and
condensing pressure)
Note: a maximum of 50 alarms can be logged; after this limit any
new events overwrite the oldest ones, which are therefore deleted.
8.2 Compressor alarms
The number of alarms can be chosen for each compressor, in the
confi guration phase (wizard) or subsequently in branch C.a.e of the main
menu.
Priority
For certain alarms, the alarm output relays can be confi gured according
to two types of priority:
• R1: serious alarm
• R2: normal alarm
The corresponding relays, once confi gured, are activated when an alarm
with the corresponding priority occurs. For other alarms, priority is fi xed
and associated by default to one of the two relays.
Reset/acknowledgement
The alarms can be acknowledged manually, automatically or semiautomatically:
• Manual: the alarm is acknowledged by pressing (Alarm), twice,
the fi rst time displays the corresponding alarm screen and mutes the
buzzer, the second (extended, for at least 3 seconds) cancels the alarm
(which is saved in the log). If the alarm is still active, it is not reset and
the signal is shown again.
• Automatic: when the alarm condition ceases, the alarm is automatically
acknowledged, the LED comes on steady and the corresponding
screen remains displayed until
alarm is saved in the log.
(Alarm) is pressed and held; the
• Semi-automatic: the alarm is acknowledged automatically, until
reaching a maximum number of activations in a set period. When the
number reaches the maximum setting, the alarm then needs to be
acknowledged manually.
Fig. 8.a
After having selected the number of alarms (maximum 2), each alarm
can be assigned a description, choosing from the options shown in the
table, output relay, type of reset, delay and priority. The eff ect of the alarm
on the devices is fi xed and involves stopping the compressor, except for
the oil warning.

Tab. 8.a
A possible screen for choosing the description of the alarm is shown in
the fi gure:
For manual acknowledgement, the functions associated with the alarm
will not be reactivated until the alarm is acknowledged , while for
automatic acknowledgement, the functions are reactivated as soon as
the alarm condition ceases.
After having selected the ‘generic’ description, no other description can
be selected. In general, the descriptions are divided into 4 groups:
• generic
• others (overload, oil, high pressure, low pressure)

After having selected a description pertaining to one group, no
descriptions from other groups can be selected for that alarm.
For example, the selection may be generic, or alternatively overload + oil.
Each alarm will have its own unique alarm screen, and this will include all
the descriptions associated with that alarm.
According to the number of alarms selected, the descriptions shown in
the table will be associated by default.

Tab. 8.d
Note: an oil alarm can be interpreted as an oil level warning. When
the alarm is activated, an attempt is made to restore the level for a set
time before signalling the alarm and stopping the compressor.
If a modulating device is used to drive the compressors, additional alarms
are provided:
• compressor inverter warning, common for the entire suction line,
when using inverters
• oil crankcase temperature alarm, high discharge temperature.
Low superheat alarm
The low superheat alarm can also be enabled for parallel compressors, in
addition to the standard SSH-DSH alarm.
The alarm can be enabled and the settings made on the following screen:
8.3 Pressure alarms
Hecu CO2 can manage pressure alarms from a pressure switch or probe,
according to the following diagram.
Alarms from pressure switch:
• Low suction pressure
• High condensing pressure
Alarms from probe:
• Low suction pressure
• High suction pressure
• Low condensing pressure
• High condensing pressure
One possible example for the low pressure alarms is shown in the fi gure:

Fig. 8.b
Pressure alarms from pressure switch
The parameters corresponding to these alarms can be set in branch
G.c.a/G.c.b of the main menu.
Low suction pressure from pressure switch
The low suction pressure alarm from pressure switch has the eff ect of
stopping all the compressors without observing the various times,
therefore when the digital input confi gured as the low pressure switch
is activated, all the compressors on the line aff ected are stopped
immediately.
This alarm features semi-automatic reset, and both the monitoring time
and the number of activations in the specifi ed period can be set. If the
number of activations is higher, reset becomes manual.
In addition, the delay after which the alarm is activated on both start-up
and during operation can be set.
The delay at start-up only applies to unit start-up and not compressor
power-on.
Pressure
The alarm threshold is the same as the one used for the SSH_DSH alarm.
High condensing pressure from pressure switch
The high condensing pressure alarm from pressure switch has the eff ect
of stopping all the compressors without observing the various times and
forcing the fans on at maximum speed, therefore when the digital input
confi gured as the high pressure switch is activated, all the compressors
on the line aff ected are stopped immediately and the fans operate at
maximum output.
This alarm features manual or automatic reset, as confi gured by the user.
The delay after which the alarm is activated can also be set.

Pressure alarms from probe
The parameters corresponding to these alarms can be set in branch C.a.e
of the main menu for suction pressure, and D.a.e for condensing pressure.
For these types of alarms, reset is automatic and the activation threshold
and diff erential can be set, as well as the type of threshold, which may be
absolute or relative to the control set point. The fi gure shows an example
of setting the threshold to relative.

Note: for temperature control, the alarms from probe are managed
based on temperature even when pressure probes are fi tted.
The eff ects of the diff erent pressure alarms from probe are described
below.
Low suction pressure from probe
The low suction pressure alarm from probe has the eff ect of stopping all
the compressors without observing the times.
High suction pressure from probe
The high suction pressure alarm from probe has the eff ect of forcing
all the compressors on, ignoring the control times, but observing the
compressor protection times.

8.5 High pressure prevention
Hecu CO2 can manage the high discharge pressure prevention actions,
involving:
• overriding the compressors and fans
Prevent by overriding the compressor and fans
The parameters corresponding to this function can be set in branch
G.c.a/G.c.b of the main menu.
The eff ect of this type of prevention action is to force on all the fans at
maximum speed and the BLDC compressor on at minimum speed.
An activation threshold can be set, which is always absolute, as well as the
deactivation diff erential.
Furthermore, the evaluation time and number of activations allowed in a
defi ned time period can also be set. If the number of activations is higher
than set, reset becomes manual.

Low condensing pressure from probe
The low condensing pressure alarm from probe has the eff ect of stopping
all the fans without observing the times.
High condensing pressure from probe
The high condensing pressure alarm from probe has the eff ect of forcing
all the fans on and stopping all the compressors, ignoring the times.
8.4 Anti liquid return MPX valve alarm
For alarms that stop the compressor, if the “anti liquid return MPX valve”
function is enabled, the evaporator valves will be forced closed. This
function can be enabled on screen Cag65.
In the event of a low pressure switch alarm, the valves will not be forced
closed, so as to allow the system to restart.
Below is the list of alarms that stop the compressor and close the valve:
• High pressure
• HP prevent lock (5 attempts)
• Low SH
• High receiver pressure
• SSH-DSH
• High or low oil level
• Leak alarm
• CO2 alarm

9. SOFTWARE UPDATE
9.1 Uploading/updating the software
The following methods can be used to update the fi rmware and acquire
the log fi les on pCO controllers:
• SmartKey programming key;
• pCO manager tool, a program installed on a PC.
Smart key
The PCOS00AKY0 key is an electronic device used to program and service
the pCO sistema family controllers. PCOS00AKY0 simplifi es data transfer
between the controllers installed and a personal computer by exploiting
the high capacity fl ash memory for storing software applications, BIOS
and variable logs. The pCO is connected directly via the telephone
connector using the cable supplied, while to transfer the data to a
personal computer, the USB adapter code PCOS00AKC0 is required.
The power supply comes either via the USB port on the PC or from the
controller, therefore no external power supply is needed.

The key is factory-programmed in read/write mode (type C) so that it can
be used immediately to transfer software from one controller to another.
When the key is connected to the personal computer, the symbols have
the following meanings:

data transfer in progress
The programming key is compatible starting from BIOS version 3.43 and
BOOT version 3.01. For more detailed information on programming the
key, see to the pCO Manager manual.
Using the Smart Key with the pCO/μPC programmable controllers
Switch off the pCO, remove any peripherals connected in the pLAN
and plug the key into the telephone connector on the controller. When
switching on again, all the symbols light up momentarily and the buzzer
emits a beep. A few seconds later the key becomes operational. This
waiting period is indicated by the fl ashing of
. The controller then
enters programming mode and the start button is on steady; press the
button to start data transfer
Important:
• if the key is type B, C or G (in write mode) pressing the start button will
immediately delete the software already loaded on the pCO.
• Do not remove the key while data is being transferred to the key itself,
as the fi le being transferred will be lost and the corresponding space
will not be restored. To restore the original capacity all the fi les will
need to be deleted. If the key is type “C” or “G”, simply perform a new
application read operation.

Support les
At the end of the application program design phase, 1tool generates
several fi les during compilation; two of these are required for
commissioning:
• <applicationName>.2CF (variable descriptor);
• <applicationName>.2CD (descriptor of categories and access profi les).
In addition to these fi les, the <applicationName>.DEV fi le can also be
managed, which contains the pre-set unit parameters. After having
completed commissioning, either for confi guration or monitoring, the
user can generate the following fi les:
• <applicationName>.2CW (descriptor of categories, access profi les,
monitoring groups);
• <CommissioningLogFileName>.CSV (fi le used for the commissioning
log, with the data of the variables logged during monitoring).
The commissioning confi guration phase thus requires the following fi les:
.2CF, 2CD and where possible the .DEV fi le, which can be imported and
exported.
For the monitoring phase, in addition to the above fi les, the .2CW fi le
may be needed, with the defi nition of the specifi c work environment. The
commissioning log fi le is a simple output fi le.
pCO Load: basic concepts
pCOLoad is the module that manages:
• uploading to fl ash memory (ProgKeyX device or key installed on the
pCO);
• uploading to NAND memory on certain devices;
• downloading logs, .DEV fi le and P memory (from fl ash memory).
• downloading NAND memory fi les, if present.
The following fi les are exchanged with the pCO fl ash memory:
• Boot.BIN (download reserved, upload enabled from menu);
• Bios.BIN (download reserved);
• <applicationName>.BLB (download reserved );
• <applicationName>.BIN (download reserved );
• <applicationName>.DEV;
• <applicationName>.GRT (upload only, from which the .GRP is
CSV (only if logs have been confi gured, download only).
The following fi les are exchanged with the pcO NAND memory:
• All of the fi les that the pCO can autonomously copy to the fl ash
memory (see the previous list);
• External fi les (e.g.: PDF, .doc for documentation).
Commissioning tool: basic concepts
Note: the following paragraphs are taken from the pCOmanager
program online help; refer to this for any further details.
The commissioning tool is real-time confi guration and monitoring
software used to check the operation of an application program installed
on a pCO, for commissioning a pCO, debugging and maintenance.
This tool can be used to set the confi guration parameters, modify the
values of volatile and permanent variables, save the trends of the main
unit values to a fi le, manually manage the unit I/Os using simulation fi les,
and monitor/reset the alarms on the unit where the device is installed.
The commissioning operations fi rst require confi guration of the work
environment, typically the task of the designer. The active 1tool project
is automatically loaded by the pCO Manager. The commissioning tool
confi guration functions allow the designer to decide which variables
will be included in the monitoring/log/trend/event monitoring activities,
to organise variables into categories, and to set groups of confi guration
parameter. Users who use the commissioning tool during maintenance
operations will already have access to the required variables, and will be
able to refer to pre-set confi guration values.
Hecu CO2 +0300085EN rel. 2.2 - 07.05.2019
LogEditor: basic concepts
LogEditor is the module used to confi gure pCO device logs (pCO log).
Confi guring pCO logs involves defi ning a number of sets of variables for
specifying which variables should be logged, the logging method (by
frequency or by event) and the guaranteed minimum number of records
required. Confi guration is based on a binary fi le (.PVT – Public Variable
Table), which is generated by 1Tool and contains the descriptive data of
the variables that can be logged. All the log confi gurations so defi ned
are saved in the .LCT (Log Confi guration Table) binary fi le, which must be
uploaded to the pCO together with the .PVT fi le. Log confi guration data is
also saved in a fi le that can be used only by LogEditor – the .LEF fi le, which
must be saved to be edited with LogEditor when necessary. LogEditor
can be used even when the device is not connected.
Once the fi les for logging are uploaded to the pCO, the pCO saves the
logged data in the following fi les:
• a .BIN fi le containing all the data in binary format;
• a .CSV fi le containing the same data but in a generic format with
comma separated values;
• a *_GRAPH.CSV fi le with the same data, to be used for graphs.
