1.5 ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE

The EVDriver module for the control of the electronic expansion valves (EEV) for pLAN network allows the inlet overheating control for a more efficient and versatile operation of the refrigerating unit. Efficient because the optimisation and the stabilization of the refrigerant flow to the evaporator increase the performance of the installation assuring at the same time the safety (less activations of the low pressure switch, less backflows of the refrigerant to the compressor,…). Moreover, if the EEV has been properly dimensioned, using the floating or low setpoint condensation (and evaporation) pressure increase remarkably the efficiency of the installation allowing less energy consumption and a better refrigerating yield. Versatile because using the electronic expansion valve implies the possibility to manage refrigerating units with very different capacities and in different operating conditions. The use of the electronic expansion valve implies the installation not only of the EVDriver or the expansion valve themselves, but also of a temperature sensor and a pressure transducer, both of them placed at the end of the evaporator on the refrigerant side (on the compressor inlet pipe). Refer to the following diagram for a better understanding of the typical installation layout.

The base principle of the new control algorithm aims at the installation stability combined with, when possible, a quick achievement of the overheating steady state. In this sense, the priorities to be considered for an optimum control of the refrigerating installation are a high and constant refrigerating yield rather than an extremely low and stable overheating. The heart of the control is a PID controller that features coefficients that can be set for the overheating. The additional controls are: LOW (Low overheating with integral time and adjustable threshold)

LOP (Low evaporation pressure, operating actually only on transients, with integral time

and adjustable threshold) MOP (High evaporation pressure, with integral time and adjustable threshold) HiTcond (High condensation pressure that can be activated only by condensation pressure

probe read by pCO, with integral time and adjustable threshold).

In the parameter table, the control parameters, with the thresholds and the default values, are described. The table below explains the meaning of the parameter VALVE TYPE (see screens F1 – F2):

2.0 BUILT-IN HUMIDIFIER

Integrated management of a Carel immersed electrode humidifier. The pCO1 - pCO2 boards manage all the functions, from the reading of the humidifier parameter s to the control of the devices (fill, drain, out put) by relay. The humi difier parameters (curre nt, conductivity, level) are not read directly, but rather using an optional card (PCOUMID000 / 2 00).T h e built-in hum idif ier is availab le for pCO1 - pCO 2 medium boards only and replaces the electronic controller normally fitted on the humidifier. The LCD terminal features screens for controlling the humidifier. Humidifiers from 1.5 to 15 kg/h (single cylinder) and 90 kg/h (two cylinders), three-phase or single-phase, wi th s upply vo ltage from 208 to 575 volts can be managed. The program controls the steam output and th e humid ifi er op erating con ditions b ased on the hum id ifier current and ambient humidity signals; furthermore, it manages and displays all st ates and alar ms.

2.3 HUMIDITY AND STEAM PRODUCTION CONTROL

The steam production of the humidifier is controlled according to:

• the humidity

• the production set on the screen (value between 30% and 100% of rated production)

Humidity control is performed by the program based on the reading of the humidity probe, the humidity set point and the humidity differential. The program calculates the proportional humidity error, ERP:

HUMIDITY % r.H

A B

100% ERP

10% ERP

100% P_NOM

20% P_NOM 0% P_NOM

0% ERP

The graph of humidifier production control is based on the rated production, set production and proportional error (ERP): ERP = proportional humidity error Set production: A = 100% rated output B = 75% rated output C = 45% rated output

The humidifier has a minimum production equal to 20% of the rated output (for technical reasons) when ERP is between 0% and 20%, and increases as the ERP increases until reaching the set production when ERP=100%.

Below is a brief description of the algorithm embedded in the bios for the management of a humidifier with 1 or 2 immersed electrode cylinders. In this type of humidifier, the steam is produced by boiling the water contained inside the cylinder. This occurs by simply

filling the cylinder with water and applying a voltage to the electrodes. According to the Joule effect, the current will tend to heat the water until it boils.

The current that runs through the electrodes in the cylinder depends essentially on the voltage applied to the electrodes, the conductivity of the water inside the cylinder and the level of the water.

The aim of the algorithm is to maintain the current that runs through the electrodes at a reference value so as to ensure the percentage of steam production required, according to the readings of the humidity probes and the parameters set by the user. During evaporation, the level of the water falls, and as the current is directly proportional to the quantity of water present in the cylinder, to keep it constant the cylinder would need to be constantly filled with minute quantities of water. To avoid this, the current is maintained within a certain range around the reference value, by repeated “water fill/evaporation” cycles.

As well as the level of water in the cylinder, the othe r factor that deter mines the curre nt level is the cond uctiv ity of the wate r inside the cylinder. In fact, during the fill/evaporation cycles, the conductivity of the water will tend to increase, due to the increase in the concentration of salts in the water. The conductivity of the water inside the cylinder is measured indirectly, by calculating the time required for a complete evaporation cycle. This time is then compared against a reference (typical for each cylinder) and, if lower, a certain quantity of water is drained and then the cylinder is topped up with less conductive mains water.

The humidifier also features a conductivity meter that measures the conductivity of the mains water entering the appliance during the filling cycles. In the case of high conductivity of the supply water, the control algorithm first signals a pre-alarm (that doesn't stop operation) and then, if necessary, an alarm (that stops operation). This is essential to avoid the introduction of excessively conductive water into the cylinder, which may compromise the correct operation of the humidifier.

Another fundamental element, installed at the top of the cylinder, is the high level sensor, used to detect any water or foam. The high level electrodes may be activated for one of the following reasons:

- over-filling of water in the boiler – when the unit is off – due to a leak in the fill electrovalve;

- high water level when first filling the cylinder;

- high water level following the depletion of the cylinder due to fouling on the plates;

- formation of foam.

In the first case, when the high level sensor is activated, the algorithm stops operation and signals a cylinder full alarm, while in the other three cases the humidifier responds by draining the water so as to decrease the level. In the event of repeated activations of the high level sensor, the algorithm evaluates the possibility that the causes may be due to the presence of foam. In this case, if after having performed a complete washing cycle (complete emptying-complete refill-complete emptying) the high level sensor continues to be activated, the controller signals a foam alarm (that does not stop operation).

A crucial point in the operation of the humidifier is the control of any excess current levels. In fact, whenever voltage is applied to the electrodes in the cylinder, after a period of inactivity, there may be short but very intense peaks in current. In the current is excessive in this initial period, the algorithm responds by immediately switching off the electrodes and performing a drain cycle. If the excess current continues, the operation of the humidifier is stopped and a high current alarm is signalled.

The algorithm also controls the drain cycles, signalling a drain alarm if there is no appreciable decrease in current when the drain cycle starts. Vice-versa, a no water alarm will be signalled if there is no appreciable increase in current when the humidifier is being filled with water.

Boards connection in pLAN network allows exchanging variables from a board to another, according to a logic established by the program, to make them work together in a functional way. The variables exchanged among the boards are already established by the program, as well as the direction they must follow and from which they come. Therefore, they cannot be programmed by the user, who must execute the electrical connections only. Do not execute pCO1 – pCO2 mixed connections, use exclusively boards of the same type.

3.1 pLAN PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS

The pLAN electrical connection among pCO1 or pCO2 boards is executed in parallel with 3 wires, from board to board, by using connector J11; the data are sent through Rs485 logic; no additional device is required. As usual, terminals shall be connected to the boards by the relevant telephone cable (code S90CONN*).

3.2 SETTING THE pLAN ADDRESS

For pLAN proper operation, the boards and the external terminals (not the built-in terminals) shall be addressed. Even if only one board is being used, address 1 shall be set on the board and address 25 shall be set on the external terminal, if any. If the same address is assigned to two network elements, the pLAN cannot work! The available addresses range from 1 to 32 (in binary logic), where 32 is the total number of boards + terminals + electronic expansion valves that can be connected with the pLAN, divided into 8 boards (addresses 1–8), 16 electronic valves (addresses 9–24) and 8 external terminals (addresses 25–32). In case external terminals or electronic valves are not used, the boards maximum number (8) keeps unchanged. The addresses to be assigned to boards, valves and terminals are already established to facilitate installation and are listed in the following paragraph.

3.3 HOW TO ASSIGN THE ADDRESSES

The pLAN addresses are set with binary logic by changing the dip switch position on the back of the external terminals, on pCO2 boards (see figure below) and inside the electronic valves drivers, with all devices compulsorily not powered; in the pCO1, address is numerical and is assigned in a different way by an external terminal.

printer

To read the address of a pCO2 board, external terminal or driver without remembering the binary code by heart, follow this simple rule: if the switch is in position 1, add up value 1 for switch 1, 2 for switch 2, 4 for switch 3, 8 for switch 4, and so on. Do not add up any values for the switches in position 0. In the example below, the selected address is: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15.

Switch1 Switch2 Switch3 Switch4

State off on off on off on off on

P 0 1 0 2 0 4 0 8

Address = P(Sw1)+P(Sw2)+P(Sw3)+P(Sw4)

3.3.1 SETTING THE pCO1 ADDRESS

Operations to be carried out for pCO1 boards pLAN addressing:

1. Cut pCO1 board power off and connect an external terminal with pLAN address“0”

2. Power pCO1 board keeping terminal buttons Alarm + Up pressed until a screen is displayed

3. After the screen is displayed, carry out the indicated operations, that is key in the numerical pLAN address (1,2,3….) by using buttons Up and Down, then confirm by pushing Enter

4. Cut pCO1 board power off

5. If required, assign the correct pLAN address to the external terminal, if provided

6. Power pCO1 board.

3.3.2 SETTING THE ADDRESS OF PCO2, EXTERNAL TERMINALS AND VALVE DRIVERS This paragraph indicates the addresses to be set on pCO2 boards, external terminals and valves drivers. If pCO1 boards are being used, refer to the previous paragraph as for boards only (as for terminals and drivers, the following indications are valid).

Valve 2 Valve 4 Valve 6 Valve 8 Valve 10 Valve 12 Valve 14 Valve 16

Each external terminal refers to one board and two electronic valves, that is:

• board ad d. 1 ! valves add. 9/17 ! terminal add. 25,

• board ad d. 2 ! valves add. 10/18 ! terminal add. 26…..

The terminals Menu main screen displays the address of the connected board in the upper right corner. Terminal add. 32 allows controlling all boards without requiring other terminals or in addition to the other terminals; as a matter of fact, the program allows terminal with add. 32 to access the parameters of all connected boards, one by one. Passage among the boards can be executed by simply pushing button info.

In all other program screens, the address of the connected board can be known by pushing button info.

3.4 pLAN STATUS

When starting the system, the pLAN network could undergo some problems (failed boards and terminals displays start-up) due to improper electrical connections or to the fact that incorrect addresses have been assigned. By means of a special screen, the pLAN network state can be displayed in real time, thus identifying which devices (boards and terminals) are properly connected and addressed. To display the special screen, push buttons Up-Down-Enter of any network terminal simultaneously for at least 10 sec. After the first 5 seconds, a screen is displayed; continue for another 5 seconds until the following screen is displayed:

NetSTAT T: xx Enter To Exit

As it can be seen, network addresses from 1 to 32 are displayed, together with a symbol indicating if a terminal (small rectangle) or a board / valve driver (big rectangle) is concerned. The dash indicates that the board / terminal has incorrect address or is connected improperly. In case the symbols appear and disappear, it means that pLAN is unstable or, more probably, that repeated addresses are present. The number following T indicates the address of the terminal being used. The example indicates that the network consists of two boards or valves drivers with address 1, 2, and of three terminals with address 3, 4, 15. After the screen is checked, cut network power off, verify connections and addresses and power the system again.

3.5 CHECK pLAN ADDRESS

During pCO1 – pCO2 board normal operation, the board pLAN address can be checked at any time by pushing the red button (Prg+Enter in case a built-in terminal is being used). The information appears on the display first row, covering a part of the displayed screen for 2 seconds. The pLAN address is always displayed in the M0 Menu screen.

8. The board will now work with the program transferred from the key.

4.2 PROGRAM DOWNLOAD FROM COMPUTER

Use the kit code PC485KIT00 and the WinLOAD 32 program, proceeding as follows:

1. Connect the converter (RS232/RS485) to the mains using the transformer provided in the kit

2. Connect the converter to a free serial port on the PC, using the serial cable provided in the kit

3. Connect the converter to connector J10 on the pCO2 – pCO1 using a telephone cable (code S90CONN00*)

4. Install Winload, if Winload is not already installed on the PC

5. Run WinLOAD32 on the PC, with the board off

6. Enter in the number of the PC serial port in the field “COMM” (1 for COM1, 2 for COM2)

7. Enter “0” in the field “pCO² ADD.”

8. Switch the board on

9. Wait 30 seconds until the message “OFF LINE” becomes “ON LINE” in the WinLOAD32 program, in the lower left, or until the yellow LED next to the dipswitch on the board starts flashing; now enter the actual board pLAN address value in the field “pCO² ADD”; a bl u e l i ght i n the Winloa d pro gram , in t h e bottom c e ntre of t h e window , will start f lashing.

10. In WinLOAD32, select “Upload” and then “Application”

11. Select the folder containing the application program source files

12. Use CTRL to select a series of *.iup files, if needing to load a series of languages to the pCO2-pCO1. Also select the *.blb files (for non-pLAN applications) or the flash1.bin file in the program being loaded (for pLAN applications)

13. Click “UPLOAD” to start the file download procedure, which will take approximately 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the number of *.iup files selected and the size of the various files

14. Wait until the message “Upload OK” appears in the progress bar

15. Disconnect the telephone cable between the board and converter; connect the external terminal (if featured), then switch the board off and on again

NOTE: if a pLAN network with a series of boards is used, the program can be installed on the other boards without repeating the operations: after installing the program on the first board, simply repeat steps from 8 to 14, entering the new board addresses each time in the field “pCO² ADD” in the WinLOAD32 program.

7.0 ALARMS

The alarms managed by the program safeguard soundness of the connected devices and provide signals in case the control parameters have exceeded the normal values or the board is faulty. The alarms originate from alarm digital inputs, probes or board. Their effect ranges from the simple block signalling of one or more devices to the air-conditioning unit stop. Many alarms are subject to programmable delay times.

When an alarm state is identified, the following signals occur:

• the buzzer incorporated into the external terminal (not provided for on the built-in terminal) turns on

• the red LED under button ALARM turns on

• abbreviation AL starts blinking on the Menu screen

Pushing button Alarm, the buzzer switches off and the alarm screen is displayed. If more alarms are active, the screen of the first alarm is displayed; the other alarms can be displayed by using the arrow buttons. If other buttons are pressed, the alarm screens are left but they keep stored and are displayed again whenever the Alarm button is pressed. To rearm the alarms and delete t he message manu ally, simply move the cursor on the alarm screens and push button Alarm again; if the alarm causes have disappeared (digital inputs rearmed, temperature within the normal values, etc…), the screens disappear, the red led switches off and message “NO ALARM ACTIVE” is displayed. If the cause of one or more alarms is still active, the disabled alarms only disappear, whereas the other alarms keep displayed and the buzzer and the red led switch on again.

Alarms are divided into two categories: manually-rearmed alarms or automatically-rearmed alarms. The manually-rearmed alarms require alarm screen deleting (as described above) to restart the devices or the air-conditioning unit. The automatically-rearmed alarms unlock the device or restart the air-conditioning unit after the cause has disappeared, but the alarm screen keeps stored in the memory.

7.1 ALARM RELAYS

The medium boards provide a relay for the serious alarms and another relay for the non-serious alarms. The small boards include all alarms in the only available relay. The non-serious alarm relay is closed in case of any type of alarm; the serious alarm relay is closed in case of serious alarms only. Each managed alarm may be identified as serious or non-serious, consequently allowing to determine which relay shall be enabled. The delay time can be determined for both relays before closing.

9.0 TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The heating and cooling devices are managed based on the temperature value measured by the ambient (or room temperature) probe. The measured temperature is compared to the set temperature (set point); the devices are enabled based on the difference between the two values. The proportional band identifies the air-conditioning unit working range and can take different values in heating and cooling mode. The dead zone identifies the devices non-action zone round the set point. The following diagrams show the action of the heating and cooling devices. The percentage values indicate the modulating valves opening range. The warm and cold valves start and end opening parameters correspond to 0% and 100% respectively (default values) and are different for the two valves; if need be, the values may be modified to delay opening start and bring complete opening forward.

9.2 OTHER TEMPERATURE FUNCTIONS

The high and low temperature alarms cause ala rm screen signalling and have modifiable delay time. The dehumidification stop differential establishes the minimum temperature below which dehumidification is interrupted. Dehumidification can start again if temperature returns above the value established by the humidification start offset; differential and offset are modifiable.

These close control units are equipped with a warm water coil and a cold water coil. In addition, heating can also be executed by heaters. The following diagram shows the cooling devices action, whereas the heating devices action is dealt with in the paragraph describing the direct expansion units.

9.4 CLOSE CONTROL UNITS WITH SINGLE WATER COIL

In these close control units, the coil provides for both heating and cooling, depending on the type of water circulating inside it. In practice, the unit works as it was equipped with two different coils. The coil operation depends from a Summer / Winter digital contact that “reports” whether the circulating water is warm or cold to the board; if the “type of water” circulating inside the coil complies with the ambient request, the valve is modulated to regulate temperature. In addition, heating can also be executed by heaters or a warm coil. For any information about coil and heaters operation, refer to the previous paragraphs.

10.0 HUMIDITY CONTROL

The humidification and dehumidification devices are managed based on the humidity value measured by the ambient (or room temperature) probe. The measured humidity is compared to the set humidity (set point); the devices are enabled based on the difference between the two values. The proportional band identifies the air-conditioning unit working range and can take different values in humidification and dehumidification mode. The 0.2% fixed dead zone identifies the devices non-action zone round the set point. Humidification is available for medium boards only. On the contrary, dehumidification is always available and enables the available cooling devices and a contact for an external dehumidifier or for reducing the outlet fan speed. In case of medium boards, humidification can be executed as follows:

• built-in humidifier

• 0-10Volt modulating output

• On-Off contact

Dehumidification can be executed as follows:

• On-Off contact for an external dehumidifier or for reducing the outlet fan speed

• compressors enabling (active capacity controls included, if any)

• 100% enabling of the 0-10Volt or three-position modulating cooling valve

The dehumidification On-Off free contact is always managed, whereas the cooling devices depend on unit configuration and User selection. The 0-10Volt modulating output of the dehumidification outlet fan is automatically reduced by 50% (modifiable); with On-Off fan, use the digital contact for reducing speed. The following diagrams show the humidification and dehumidification devices action. The percentage values indicate the modulating valves opening range.

The high and low humidity alarms cause alarm screen signalling and have modifiable delay time.

In these close control units, the cold water coils provide for dehumidification.

11.0 RECOVERY COIL

Recovery is an optional function: an additional cold coil using water coming from an external source (i.e., evaporation tower) is enabled if the temperature of water running inside it is quite low. This allows saving on the system management costs. The coil is enabled by On-Off contact or 0-10Volt modulating signal. The following diagram shows the recovery coil enabling conditions: environment cooling request and recovery water temperature lower than recovery set – recovery differential.

11.2 RECOVERY WITH COOLING DEVICES ON CLOSE CONTR. UNITS WITH DIRECT EXPAN. COIL

With recovery coil enabled, the conventional cooling devices are switched on only if ambient temperature increases above a certain value; adding the effects of recovery coil and devices together, temperature decreases, but before reaching the set point, the cooling devices are switched off again. In this case, the cooling devices favour Recovery but do not substitute for it. The following diagram shows how the cooling devices steps are offset compared to normal position to ensure energy saving.

12.0 OUTLET LIMIT

This function prevents too cold air from circulating in the environment, thus safeguarding health of any exposed person. A temperature probe must be positioned on the air-conditioning unit outlet and parameters “Outlet set point” and “Outlet differential” shall be set. Such parameters identify a limiting zone, as shown in the following diagram:

As shown in the diagram, if outlet temperature ranges between outlet set point and outlet differential, the cooling devices are limited only partially; the more temperature decreases the more limitation increases.

As regards dehumidification limitation, the modulation zone is by-passed since dehumidification always needs the cooling devices maximum capacity. In practice, the devices are switched off only if outlet temperature is lower than differential; the devices are then switched on again if outlet temperature reaches the outlet set point, as shown in the following diagram:

13.0 CONDENSER FANS

Condensing pressure control is available on ED type units, in which fans are managed based on condensing coil pressure and compressors state. Fans are enabled by 0-10V modulating or digital outputs (on medium boards). Control is based on the condensation set point and differential, as shown in the following diagram:

Condensation set

OFF

The following diagram shows fans operation with modulating outputs:

The maximum and minimum speeds of 0-10V outputs can be set; in case the set minimum speed is higher than 0V, the fan is operated at minimum speed 1.0 bar below the condensation set point before switching off, as indicated in the diagram above.

13.1 SINGLE OR SEPARATE COILS

In case of single coil, only one output (on-off or modulating) is enabled. In case of units with at least one condensing probe and enabled on-off outputs (medium boards), two on-off outputs may be enabled in sequence, dividing the differential by two. In case of separated coils, two different outputs (on-off or modulating) are enabled, one per circuit.

13.2 NUMBER OF PROBES

Foreword: besides the values read by the probes, fans enabling always considers the compressors state. In case of single probe and separated coils, fans enabling is based on the probe value for both circuits. In case of two probes and single coil, fans enabling is based on the highest probes value. In case of two probes and separated coils, fans enabling is based on the probe value of the relevant circuit. In case no probe is present, fans are enabled simultaneously with the compressors; in case of single coil, fans are enabled when at least one compressor is on; in case of separated coils, each compressor controls the fans of its own circuit.

13.3 PREVENT FUNCTION

High pressure alarm prevention with compressors stopped. Normally, the condensing fans turn on only if compressors are enabled, but in this case they are forced so as to decrease pressure and try to prevent the high pressure alarm, which would cause unit shutdown. Pressure increase with compressors stopped may be due to radiance on the coil. In case of 0-10V modulating fans, modulation is by-passed.

13.4 SPEED-UP FUNCTION

To overcome inertia at high-power modulating fans peak, they may be started at maximum speed for some seconds, then speed decreases to the required value and modulation starts.

13.5 PRESSURE – TEMPERATURE CONVERSION

Both pressure and temperature probes can be selected. In case of pressure probes, branch I/O screens display the temperature value corresponding to the pressure of each probe, based on the coolant type (to be selected in the Manufacturer branch).

14.0 TEMPERATURE SET POINT COMPENSATION

The temperature set point can be “compensated” automatically for comfort reasons; for example, think about a commercial concern in which people frequently enter and go out: if internal temperature is 10°C lower than the external one, the thermal rush may annoy people and could be prejudicial to their health. The maximum difference between internal and external temperatures should not exceed 6°C in order to obtain optimum comfort. In this case, the compensation function increases the set point by 4°C, consequently increasing the ambient temperature; this function prevents the difference between internal and external temperature from exceeding 6°C. Compensation requires a temperature probe to be installed at the exterior. The function is managed based on the values of compensation set point, differential and offset parameters, as shown in the following diagram:

15.0 COMPRESSORS

Compressors are managed in ON-OFF mode. Maximum 2 compressors can be present, each having capacity control. Therefore, the total amount of compressors + capacity controls allows for 4 cold steps.

15.1 CAPACITY CONTROL

Their logic can be N.O. (relays normally open) or N.C. (relays normally closed). With respect to compressors, these controls are enabled with a programmable delay time. The capacity controls are available for medium boards only. During dehumidification, capacity controls are started simultaneously with the compressors to obtain the maximum cooling power.

15.2 ROTATION

Compressors rotation follows the F.I.F.O. (first in, first out) logic. The first compressor turned on is the first to turn off, the first compressor turned off is the last to turn on. This logic allows comparing the compressors working hours and obtaining the same ageing.

15.3 TIMING

15.3.1 START MINIMUM TIME It represents the compressors start minimum time (in seconds) after they have been enabled. If a stop request arises, compressors are disabled only after the established time has elapsed.

It represents the compressors stop minimum time (in seconds) after they have been disabled. If a start request arises, compressors are enabled only after the established time has elapsed.

It represents the minimum time interval (in seconds) between start of a device and the following one. This interval allows preventing contemporary peaks, which would cause a high energy absorption.

It represents the minimum time interval (in seconds) between two starts of the same device. This parameter allows limiting the number of starts per hour. If, for example, the maximum number of starts per hour allowed by the default values is 10, this limit can be respected by setting a 360-second time interval.

It represents the minimum time between compressor and capacity control start. This parameter is available only if capacity controls have been selected.

15.4 COMPRESSOR ALARMS

Compressors alarms are distributed in two digital inputs, with an exception for the two-compressor ED configuration on small boards, in which the alarms are compacted in a single digital input. In case two digital inputs are present, the alarms mean Thermal alarm / High and Low pressure alarm. In case a single digital input is present, the alarm means General alarm. If any alarm input shall not be used, the 24Vac supply needs to be energised. As for electrical connections of alarm digital inputs, refer to the pCO1 – pCO2 boards technical manual.

15.4.1 HIGH PRESSURE – THERMAL ALARM Immediate alarm originated by external pressure switch or compressor overload; the digital input switches from closed to open and compressor is immediately stopped. To start the compressor again, the user has to rearm the alarm manually by pushing the terminal Alarm button, provided that the pressure switch or compressor overload have rearmed energising the digital input. After the compressor has turned off, timing is enabled; for this reason, after alarm rearming, the compressor could not immediately turn on again.

15.4.2 LOW PRESSURE ALARM Delayed alarm originated by an external pressure switch. When opening, the digital input enables two timers; if, when the timers delay time (programmable by screen) elapses, the contact is open, the compressor turns off and the alarm goes off. On the contrary, if the contact closes before delay time elapses, the alarm does not go off and timers reset. Timers are: running compressor delay time and compressor start delay time. Running delay is always counted, whereas compressor start delay is counted only if the input opens immediately after compressor start and allows for fluid stabilisation. The two timers are counted in sequence. To start the compressor again, the user has to rearm the alarm manually by pushing the terminal Alarm button, provided that the pressure switch has rearmed energising the digital input. After the compressor has turned off, timing is enabled; for this reason, after alarm rearming, the compressor could not immediately turn on again.

15.4.3 GENERIC ALARM Alarm including all compressor safety devices in a single digital input, used on two-compressor small boards. This alarm goes off immediately when opening the digital input and locks the compressor. To start the compressor again, the user has to rearm the alarm manually by pushing the terminal Alarm button, provided that the digital input has been energised. After the compressor has turned off, timing is enabled; for this reason, after alarm rearming, the compressor could not immediately turn on again.

16.0 HEATERS

The heaters are managed as simple ON-OFF loads. Normally up to 2 heaters with the same power can be managed, connected to the 2 outputs. “Binary management” allows the use of three heating steps with just two outputs. Consequently, there are two possible options: management of 2 loads with different power values; management of 3 loads. To use this system, a recognizer is required (NOT supplied), which, connected to the outputs, reads the logic and activates the loads. The outputs behave as follows:

CODE 2 DIFFERENT LOADS 3 LOADS STEP 1 Relay 1=On Relay 2=Off 10 Heat.1=On / Heat.2=Off Heat.1=On / Heat.2=Off /

Heat.3=Off

STEP 2 Relay 1=Off Relay 2=On 01 Heat.1=Off / Heat.2=On Heat.1=On / Heat.2=On /

Heat.3=Off

STEP 3 Relay 1=On Relay 2=On 11 Heat.1=On / Heat.2=On Heat.1=On / Heat.2=On /

Heat.3=On

The outputs are activated with a slight delay from one to the other, to avoid simultaneous peaks.

16.1 HEATER ALARMS

Each heater is provided with a digital input to be connected with a compressor overload or differential for signalling any failure. If any input shall not be used, the 24Vac supply needs to be energised. Immediate alarm originated when the digital input switches from closed to open; the heater is immediately disabled. To enable the heaters again, the user has to rearm the alarm manually by pushing the terminal Alarm button, provided that the compressor overload or the differential have rearmed energising the digital input.

17.0 MODULATING VALVES

17.1 THREE-POSITION VALVES

Valves with three electrical contacts (besides supply): shared, opening and closing. The two relays of pCO1-pCO2 boards (opening – closing relays) must be connected to these contacts. Based on the relays enabling time, the valves opening range varies from 0% to 100% taking an opening/closing time defined as “running time” (time taken to open or close completely; it is a valves rating). The relays must never be enabled simultaneously, thus the valve open, close or keep still. The valves opening range is calculated based on the proportion between temperature differential and running time. When ambient temperature corresponds to the set point, the valves keep closed; the more temperature is offset compared to the set point the more the valves are opened, until they open completely when temperature is equal or higher than set point + / - differential. During operation, the valves are frequently subject to partial opening and closing; the program can recognise the valves opening range at any time by adding up and subtracting all partial times executed from board start-up.

17.1.1 REALIGNMENT As there is no feedback to define precisely the valves opening range, the program cannot easily manage the three-position valves. A slight difference between the time calculated by the program and the relays enabling time or a mechanical friction preventing the valves from moving freely may originate discrepancy between the valves actual opening range and the range calculated by the program. To obviate this problem, the following precautions are provided for:

• whenever temperature control requires a valve complete opening or closing, the program increases the opening or closing relay enabling time by 25% to ensure complete opening/closing.

• whenever the board is started, the valves are completely closed during the running time; only after time has elapsed, the valves start modulating their opening range based on the control request.

17.2 0-10Volt VALVES

These valves use a 0-10Volt modulating signal coming from the pCO1-pCO2 to modify their opening range from 0% to 100%. The 0-10Volt electric signal is directly proportional to the temperature proportional band. Unlike the three-position valves, these valves do not require adjustment since their opening range is directly proportional to the analogue output value.

18.0 OUTLET FAN

With unit enabled, the outlet fan keeps switched on. It can be managed with On–Off or modulating output. The fan is provided with a thermal alarm and an air flow controller alarm, which lock the unit setting it to OFF state; thermal alarm requires manual rearm, whereas air flow controller alarm is rearmed automatically. Description of modulating management:

100%

During dehumidification, speed is automatically decreased to 5.0V (50%) default value, modifiable if required. The minimum and maximum speeds default values correspond to 5.0V and 10.0V, modifiable if required.

19.0 MANUAL DEVICE MANAGEMENT

The devices connected to outputs can be enabled manually without using timing, compressors rotation and independently from control and probes values. In manual mode, the only available support is the management of the alarms safeguarding devices safety and soundness. The analogue outputs enabling allows forcing a value between 0V and 10V. The manual procedure can be enabled by button only if the unit is in OFF mode and is automatically stopped within 30 minutes after enabling the last device or disabling all devices manually. During devices manual management, the air-conditioning unit cannot be turned on. This operative mode is identified by message “MANUAL PROCEDURE” shown on the last display row, on the Menu main screen. The enabling parameters are displayed in the Maintenance screens branch under Password.

20.0 ALARM DATA LOGGING

Alarms data logging allows storing the air-conditioning unit working state whenever an alarm goes off or under particular conditions. Any storing operation becomes an event, which can be displayed as any other event available in the memory. As it functions as a device for “taking photographs” of the system whenever any alarm goes off, data logging is extremely useful for suggesting possible causes and solving system malfunctions and failures. The program is provided with a MAIN and a DEVELOPED data logging.

20.1 MAIN LOG (pCO1 – pCO2)

Events can be stored thanks to the pCO1-pCO2 boards very large buffer memory. The MAIN data logging can be enabled by parameter; if the clock card (optional on pCO1, integrated on pCO2) is not available, neither the MAIN data logging is available. No additional optional card is required. The maximum number of storable events is 100; after the last space available in the memory (alarm no. 100) is used, next alarm will be overwritten on the first alarm stored (001), which will be automatically deleted. This procedure applies to all following events. The user cannot delete the stored events except at the default values installation. The MAIN data logging screen can be accessed by pushing button ALARM when screen E4 is displayed and can be left by pushing button Menu (Esc if the built-in terminal is being used). The screen is displayed as follows:

Whenever an alarm goes off, the following air-conditioning unit data are stored for each alarm:

• alarm description

• time

• date

• event chronological number (0-100)

The event chronological number, displayed in the upper right corner, indicates the event “stay time” compared to the 100 available memory spaces. Alarm no. 001 represents the first alarm gone off after MAIN data logging enabling. Moving the cursor on the chronological number and using the arrow buttons, the alarms “history” can be scrolled from 1 to 100. In position 001 and pushing the down arrow, the alarms cannot be scrolled. If, for example, 15 alarms have been stored and the cursor is in position 015, pushing the up arrow, the alarms cannot be scrolled.

20.2 ADVANCED LOG (pCO2)

The events are saved in the 1MB or 2MB memory expansion, available on the pCO2 board. The advantages and characteristics of this log are as follows:

• Log by event: a typical log by event is the alarm log. When an alarm is activated, the event is saved together with other significant values (temperature, humidity, pressure, set point, etc.).

• Log by time: a typical log by time is the temperature/humidity log. The temperature and humidity values are saved at regular intervals.

• Log of logs: a typical log of logs involves the saving of the last alarms/temperature/humidity values recorded before a serious alarm.

Unlike the data saved for the log by event and log by time, this data is not overwritten when the memory is full.

• Possibility to choose the values to be saved and the saving options at any time. The “WinLOAD” program can be used to define, using a practical “Wizard”, the values to be saved and the options. WinLOAD does not require the application program “files”, as it is able to directly receive all the information required from the program installed on the pCO1 – pCO2.

• 1MB dedicated FLASH memory. The system saves the data in the 1MB FLASH memory in the memory expansion (code PCO200MEM0). For example, 1MB of memory is able to store 5000 alarm events with 5 values per alarm, and record 2 values, such as temperature and humidity, for 6 months, saved every 5 minutes.

• Possibility to define up to 7 different log configurations. Typically, each controller will have an alarm log, a log of the control values (temperature/humidity/pressure) and some “logs of logs”.

• Possibility to display the data saved on the terminal LCD (external or built-in), or on a PC.

• “Black box” function. The memory expansion that contains the logs can be removed from the pCO² on the unit controlled and inserted

in another pCO² to display the data saved. The latter pCO² does not need to have the same application program as the original.

• Reliability of the da ta saved. The data are saved in FLASH me mory, which does not require batteries that risk being discharged. If following a software update the previously saved data are incompatible with the new software, all the data will be deleted (following confirmation).

20.2.1 CONFIGURATION USING “WINLOAD” The Advanced Log function, including all the options described above, is configured using the “On line help” feature in the WINLOAD32 program, the same used to upload the program software to the pC01 and pCO2 boards.

21.0 SUPERVISION

pCO1 and pCO2 can be connected with a local or remote supervisory PC, a GSM or traditional modem and the most spread BMS (Modbus, Bacnet, Lonworks). To be used, the listed functions require the installation of optional cards (Rs485, Rs232, LON) or Gateways (devices able to interpret different communication protocols).

21.1 CAREL SUPERVISOR

The local connection between pCO1 – pCO2 board and a supervisory PC requires the insertion of the Rs485 additional card (pCO2: PCO2004850; pCO1: PCO1004850) into the “Serial card” port. From the additional card, connect to the Rs485 serial line up to the Rs485/Rs232 converter supplied by Carel (PC485KIT00) for connection with the PC. In case of remote supervisor with supervisory PC connected with the telephone line, simply install the Rs232 optional card (pCO2: PCO200MDM0; pCO1: PCO100MDM0) and connect it to a traditional modem (not GSM). The program allows managing the modem and setting the phone numbers to be called. As for connections, refer to the instruction sheet.

21.2 BMS

The connection with the BMS supervisory systems is executed in different ways. Lonworks: insert the additional card into the “Serial card” port (pCO2: PCO20LFTTL / PCO20L485L; pCO1: PCO10LFTTL / PCO10L485L) and connect as prescribed in the instruction sheet. Enable LON function on the LCD terminal.

Modbus: insert the Rs485 additional card; the card only is required since the program manages this protocol by itself. Bacnet: insert the Rs485 additional card and connect it with Carel’s gateway code GATEWAYBN0 by Rs485 line. Owners’ BMS: Carel has developed many other Gateways for interfacing with less spread BMS, i.e. OTE.

21.3 GSM PROTOCOL

By selecting the GSM protocol, SMS (text) messages can be sent to and from GSM phones, using a GSM modem. The pCO1 or pCO2 sends a message to the phone in the event of alarms, and can receive messages from the telephone at any time; the user can in fact use a GSM phone to modify some of the unit's parameters, as listed below:

For details on the syntax of the SMS messages sent to the pCO* and on the use of the above table, refer to the manual: GSM modem protocol for

pCO2 (code+030220330).

N.B. When the GSM protocol is active, the remote supervisor cannot call the pCO1 or pCO2 board.

21.4 VARIABLE DATABASE

A specific communication database is featured that includes all the more important program variables, from the values read by the probes to the parameters set on the screens. The following table describes the database, divided into digital , integer and analogue variables, indicating for each its description, address and type, that is, read-only (R) or modifiable from the supervisor (R/W).

22.0 EXAMPLES OF INSTALLATION

The connection of pCO1 - pCO2 boards in pLAN network allows for the following functions:

1. balancing air-conditioning units working hours by spare units (in stand-by

2. spare units start-up in case other units stop due to serious alarms or black-out

3. spare units start-up to compensate for the excessive thermal load

4. controlling up to 8 air-conditioning units by a single external LCD terminal

5. operation of all air-conditioning units according to Master air-conditioning unit probes to adjust units operation

6. managing alarms printing and probes values by shared external terminal.

Connection in pLAN network allows configuring a wide range of systems. The following list includes the main system types to be possibly created, in order of complexity, and provides suggestions for executing connections:

1. one or more independent air-conditioning units (board(s) with pLAN address 1 + external terminal(s), if any, with pLAN address 25);

2. two or more air-conditioning units and one external terminal (boards with pLAN addresses 1-8 connected with Rs485 via J11, terminal with pLAN address 32 connected with one of the boards); this connection allows for the functions listed in the previous paragraph;

3. two or more air-conditioning units in pLAN network, each provided with private display (boards with pLAN addresses 1-8 connected with Rs485 via J11, terminals with pLAN addresses 25-32 connected with the relevant board); this connection allows for the functions listed in the previous paragraph.

Networks in which boards are connected with the pLAN allow selecting the units involved in the Rotation functions, thus obtaining a mixed network with interacting and independent units. pLAN connection among the boards allows using a shared external terminal (add. 32) in addition to the boards private displays; this solution is adopted where private displays are assembled on the air-conditioning units and the shared terminal is installed inside a room. IMPORTANT: if only one board is being used, it must have pLAN address 1; no pLAN electric connection is required and the external terminal, if any, must have pLAN address 25.

22.1 SHARED EXTERNAL TERMINAL

The Menu main screen shows the pLAN address of the displayed board in the upper right corner; in private displays, it is a fixed number corresponding to the pLAN address of the board they are connected with (1-8). Terminal no. 32 allows selecting the board to be displayed by pushing button Info; whenever a button is pressed, the address displayed in the upper right corner increases by 1 and the display shows the parameters of the board selected among the connected ones. In case of a board alarm, the shared terminal automatically connects with it to display the alarm. The shared terminal can be connected to any network board; in case of boards equipped with built-in terminal, the shared terminal must be connected to connector J10 by a telephone cable; in case of boards equipped with private external display, the shunt code TCONNJ6000, shown in the following figure, is required (private=Term n; shared=Term n+1):

The shared terminal only allows printing all boards alarms and parameters.

22.2 AUTOMATIC START AND STAND-BY UNITS

The boards connected with pLAN network may be managed directly by the program under “critical situations”, that is in case of failure (alarms, black-out…) or due to “Rotation” and “Forcing” functions. The program acts based on some parameters that can be displayed and modified on the board with pLAN address 1:

• Boards mode operation: Not present, Present/No Rotation, Present/Rotation. These are 8 parameters, one for each board. Not present: unit not connected. Present/No Rotation: unit physically connected with pLAN network but not involved in the rotation function (however, unit can manage the shared terminal, printing and Carel’s Master Control function). Present/Rotation: unit involved in Rotation too.

• Number of units in stand-by that must be set to stand-by

mode: this parameter establishes the number of units, among the ones selected in Present/Rotation mode,

mode (turned off, waiting for enabling) when starting the unit by button. The parameter is automatically

included between 0 and the total number of Present/Rotation units minus one, to ensure start-up of at least one unit.

IMPORTANT. The following functions cannot be executed if:

• at least two units selected in Present/controlled mode are not present

• the stand-by

units set number is 0

The board with pLAN address 1 provides for functions management; if the board is disconnected from pLAN network or it shuts down due to a black-out, the stand-by

boards enable and the functions will be suspended until unit 1 is reset. On the contrary, unit 1 stop by On-off or remote

On-off button does not interrupt network functions execution.

22.2.1 CRITICAL SITUATIONS

Units in Present/Rotation and stand-by modes are enabled in any of the following critical situations concerning the running boards:

• one of the boards has power cut off (black-out)

• one of the boards signals a Serious alarm that enables alarm relay no. 8 (each alarm can be programmed as serious or non-serious)

• one of the boards disconnects from pLAN network due to Rs485 line disconnection

• one of the boards is shut down by button or remote On-off digital input

• one of the boards is shut down due to a serious alarm (refer to alarms table).

In case a running unit is involved in any of the listed situations, a stand-by If, for example, two running units break or disconnect, the program enables two stand-by resets, it is started again and the spare unit returns to stand-by

mode. If a critical situation involves the stand-by units, no pLAN action occurs,

board is automatically enabled to reset the number of running units.

units; when one of the units under critical situation

with the exception of alarm signalling on the involved unit.

22.2.2 FORCING Units in Present/Rotation and stand-by modes are enabled automatically in case a running unit does not reach the temperature set point for a certain time interval due to an excessive thermal load. Each unit running in such a situation can require enabling of a stand-by

unit. The

parameters to be set for forcing are Differential, Offset and Delay time, different for heating and cooling. The following diagram shows the forcing function:

22.2.3 FIXED-HOUR ROTATION A system consisting of both running and stand-by

units is subject to unbalance in the working hours, causing running units to age faster than

stand-by ones. To obviate this problem, pLAN network can provide for units rotation, favouring balancing in the working hours. In practice, rotation sets a running unit to stand-by mode and starts a stand-by unit. The fixed-hour rotation is based on a parameter establishing the rotations time interval. The programmable minimum time is 0h; in this case, automatic rotation enables every 5 minutes as a test. The maximum time is 240h (10 days). Time is counted from start-up of the unit with pLAN address 1 that manages rotation. Rotation can be executed following the pLAN addresses logic or the units working hours. Selecting the addresses logic, the unit with highest address (among the running ones) switches from on to stand-by mode, whereas the unit with lowest address switches from stand-by mode to on. Selecting the working hours logic, the unit with highest working hours (among the running ones) switches from on to stand-by mode, whereas the unit with lowest working hours switches from stand-by mode to on.

22.2.4 FIXED-DAY ROTATION The clock card (optional on pCO1, integrated on pCO2) allows setting the hour and the days interval (max. 7) for units rotation. Logic is the same as the fixed-hour rotation, but in this case the rotation interval can be programmed for a determined day and hour.

22.2.5 ROTATION BASED ON WORKING HOURS This type of rotation involves the units with highest and lowest working hours, switching the former to stand-by mode and the latter to On mode. The reference working hours for this type of rotation are the same as the outlet fan ones; due to practical reasons, they can be modified in screens E6 and E7 of branch Maintenance.

23.0 MASTER CONTROL

The units connected with pLAN network and in Present/… mode follow the working logic of the unit with pLAN address 1, functioning as a “driver” unit so that the system can work with the same logic. This precaution prevents units from having opposite logic, something that may occur in wide environments with different temperatures or humidity areas. In such environments, each unit could follow the indications of the relevant probe, causing the uncontrolled start of humidification, dehumidification, heating or cooling. This would nullify their effect and cause energy waste.

WARNING: the “driver” unit temperature and humidity probes must be located in an “intermediate” position inside the controlled environment. The “driver” unit sends the information concerning the logic to be adopted to the pLAN network. Therefore, the network units found devices enabling on both reading of the relevant probes and “driver” unit order, so that devices can turn on in case the two factors coincide. The “driver” unit modifies the working logic in case the measured temperature or humidity exceed the set point, even by few decimal points. In case of black-out or “driver” unit disconnection from pLAN network, the network units start functioning independently again based on the relevant probes only.

24.0 GLOSSARY OF TERMS

• Step: term identifying a (temperature or humidity) proportional band area within which the device is turned on; it also defines the

device start and stop values. Refer to diagram 7.2.

• Set point: term identifying a temperature (or humidity) value to be met; the system enables the warm or cooling devices until the

temperature or humidity set points are reached.

• Default: term identifying some values, i.e. temperature set point and proportional band, automatically used by the system in case the

user does not intervene; the entire list is given in table 24.1.

• Proportional band: term identifying a temperature zone consisting of few degrees from the set point, within which the system

manages the control devices. Refer to control diagrams from 7.1 to 7.11.

• Dead zone – neutral zone: terms identifying a small temperature zone between set point and proportional band, within which the

devices do not turn on.

• Branch – loop: series of screens relating to the same subject, thus easily accessed by pushing the arrow buttons only. The branch can

be accessed by pushing any of the terminal buttons; after pushing, the first loop screen is displayed.

• Screen: term identifying the displayed window; the program consists of the screens listed in paragraph 27.0.

• Ramp: term identifying the modulating valve opening/closing time from 0% to 100%.

• Three-position valve – modulating valve: the three-position valve, commonly used, is enabled by two relays providing for time

opening and closing. The modulating valve is controlled by a 0-10V voltage signal and ensures higher precision.

• Master: term identifying the pCO2 board intended for controlling the pLAN local network and, consequently, all the connected pCO2

boards; generally, it corresponds to the board with address 1, unless it is shut down or disconnected.

• Sleep mode: term identifying the Off state of a pCO2 unit when required by the Master unit, in automatic rotation mode.

• Built-in: term identifying the display located on the pCO2 board back.

• Range: term identifying the range of a parameter available values; refer to table 24.1.

• Outlet: term identifying air introduced by the unit into an environment.

• Intake: term identifying the controlled environment air, sucked by the air-conditioning unit.

• Free cooling: term identifying the introduction of external air into an environment by opening a damper, to refresh air saving energy

• Manual: term identifying the start and stop of all devices connected with the pCO2 board outputs by appropriate screens and with unit off.

• Buffer (memory): term identifying the pCO2 memory in which the default values (selected by Carel) of all parameters are stored.

Memory is permanent even if voltage is cut off.

• Buzzer: term identifying a warning buzzer assembled on the external terminals. In case of alarm, its sound is prolonged; in case limits

are exceeded when setting the parameters, its sound is shorter. The built-in terminals are not equipped with buzzers.
