FLOTRONIC PLUS CONTROL SYSTEM
General
feature microprocessor-based electronic controls and an
electronic expansion valve (EXV) in each refrigeration
circuit.
The Flotronic Plus control system cycles compressors
and compressor unloaders to maintain the selected leav-
ing water temperature set point. It automatically positions the EXV to maintain the specified refrigerant
superheat entering the cylinders of the compressor.
Safeties are continuously monitored to prevent the unit
from operating under unsafe conditions. A scheduling
function, programmed by the user, controls the unit
occupied/ unoccupied schedule. The control also operates
a Quick Test program that allows the operator to check
input and output signals to the microprocessor.
The control system consists of a processor module
(PSIO), low-voltage relay module (DSIO), electronic
expansion valve (EXV), EXV driver module (DSIO),
keyboard and display module (HSIO) and thermistors to
provide analog inputs to the microprocessor. The soft-
ware resides in the PSIO.

PROCESSOR MODULE - This module contains the
operating software and controls the operation of the
machine. It continuously monitors information received
from the various temperature thermistors and communicates with the relay module to increase or decrease the
active stages of capacity. The processor module also
controls the EXV driver module, commanding it to open
or close each electronic expansion valve in order to maintain approximately 20 F of superheat entering the
cylinders of each of the
Iead
compressors, Information is
transmitted between the processor module and the relay
module, EXV driver moduIe and keybuard display
module through a 3-wire communications bus.

EXV (ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE) DRIVER
MODULE -- The EXV driver module operates the electronic expansion valves (based on commands from the
processor) and monitors the status of the
oi1
pressure
switches and the refrigerant Ioss of charge switches.
If the loss of charge switch opens due to a low refrigerant charge, the EXV driver module detects a zero
voltage condition in the loss of charge switch electrical
circuit and communicates this information to the processor module. The processor module immediately shuts
down all compressors in the affected refrigeration circuit.
During operation, if the EXV driver module detects
zero voltage in the oil pressure switch electrical circuit
for 45 consecutive seconds (due to an open oil pressure
switch), it communicates this information to the processor module. The processor module immediatelvshuts
down ali compressors in the affected refrigeration circuit.
At start-up, if the oil pressure switch has not closed by the
end of a 60-second time period the EXV driver module
senses this and the processor module immediately shuts
down all compressors in the affected refrigeration circuit.
If a shutdown occurs due to loss of
cftarse
or low oil
pressure, the EXV driver module communicates this to
the processor module and the processor module locks the
compressors off in the affected refrigeration circuit.
The proper fault code(s) will appear on the display
whenever a safety switch opens.

in Table 2. These functions are defined in greater detailAfter that, the microprocessor keeps accurate track of the
in t K Controls Operation section of this book.
valve position in order to use this information as input for
the other control functions.
The control monitors the superheat and the rate of
change of superheat to control the position of the valve.
The valve stroke is very large; this results in very accurate
control of the superheat.
The electronic expansion valve is also used to limit the
maximum saturated suction temperature to 55 F (12.8 C)
to keep from overloading the compressor during high
cooler water temperatures. This allows the unit to start
with very warm water temperatures.
THERMISTORS ~ The electronic control uses 7 thermistors to sense temperatures used to control the operation of the chiller. Sensors are listed in Table 3.
Fig. 2 - Keyboard and Display Module
ELECTROWIC EXPANSION VALVE ~ The micro-
processor controls the electronic expansion valve through
the EXV driver module. Inside the expansion valve is a
linear actuator stepper motor. To control the stepper
motor’s position, the thermistor in the cooler and the
thermistor in the lead compressor in each circuit are used
to maintain a 20 F (1 I C) difference. Because the compressor sensor is after the compressor motor, which adds
approximately 15 F (8.3 C) superheat, the 20 F (1 I C)
control temperature results in
U”F
to 5 F (2.8 C) superheat leaving the cooler. This improves the performance of
the cooler.
CAPACITY CONTROL ~ The control cycles compressors and alternately loads and unloads cylinders to
give capacity control steps as shown in Table 4. The unit
controls leaving chilled water temperature. Entering
water temperature is used by the microprocessor in determining the optimum time to load and unload, but is not a
control set point.
The chilled water temperature set point can be automatically reset by the return temperature reset or space
and outside air temperature reset features.

CONTROL SEQUENCE
The control power (115-l-60 for 60-Hz units; 230-l-50
for 50-Hz units) must be supplied directly from a separate
source through a code-approved fused disconnect to the
Ll
and L2 terminals of unit power teminal block.
NOTE: There is no switch or circuit breaker; only fuses. If
the control power feed is live, so is the circuit.
Crankcase heaters are wired into the control circuit.
They are always operative as long as control circuit
power is on even though unit may be off because of
safety device action. Heaters are wired so they are on only
when their respective compressors are cycled off.

heaters
When power is supplied to control circuit, unit is ready
for operation providing all safety devices are satisfied,
interlocks are closed and instructions on warning labels
have been followed.
If schedule function is used, refer to page 11 for details
on control operation.
Off Cycle - During unit off cycle when the RUN;
STANDBY switch is in the STANDBY position, the
crankcase heaters and the control system are energized.
The electronic expansion valves are
also
energized.
(NOTE: The control circuit power must be on at all times
even when the main unit power is off.)
Start-Up - When the RUN/STANDBY switch is
moved from the STANDBY to the RUN position and
there is a call for cooling, after l-l /2 to 3 minutes have
passed the first compressor will start unloaded, The first
circuit to start may be circuit A or B due to the automatic
lead/ lag feature.
Capacity Control - (See Table 4.) The rate at which
the compressors are turned on will depend on the leaving
water temperature difference from the set point, the rate
of change of leaving water temperature, the return water
temperature and the number of compressor stages on.
The control is primarily from leaving water temperature
and the other factors are used as compensation.

select either circuit A or B. The liquid line solenoid valve
remains closed for 10 seconds after the initial compressor
on that refrigeration circuit starts. This permits a pump-

to the compressor. If the compressor in that refrigeration
circuit has run in the 15 minutes before the call for

cooling, the pumpout cycle is bypassed.
After pumpout, the liquid line solenoid valve opens and
the electronic expansion valve starts to open.
The electronic expansion valve will open gradually to
provide a controlled start-up to prevent liquid floodback
:

to the compressor. Also during this period, the oil pressure switch will be bypassed for one minute.
As additional cooling is required, the control system
will ramp up through the capacity steps available until the
load requirement is satisfied. As capacity steps are added
compressors are brought on line, alternating between the
:
E
lead and lag refrigerant circuits. As explained previously,
the speed at which capacity is increased or decreased is
controlled by the temperature deviation from the set
point and the rate of change in the chilled water
temperature.

When the second or lag refrigeration circuit is started,
the circuit will go through a lo-second pumpout unless
the circuit has been operating in the 15 minutes prior to
this start.
Upon load reduction, the control system will unload
the unit in the reverse order of loading until the capacity
nearly matches the load. Each time the lead compressor is
cycled off, the liquid line solenoid valve and electronic
expansion valve will be closed for 10 seconds prior to
compressor shutdown to clear the cooler of liquid
refrigerant.
Unit Shutdown - To stop unit, move the RUN/
STANDBY switch to the STANDBY position. Any
refrigeration circuit that is operating at this time will
continue for 10 seconds to complete the pumpout cycle.
(Lag compressors stop immediately, lead compressors
run for 10 seconds.)
Complete Unit Stoppage can be caused by any of
the following conditions:
a.
general power failure
b.
blown fuse in control power feed disconnect
C.
open control circuit fuse
d.
RUN/STANDBY switch moved to STANDBY
e.
freeze protection trip
low flow protection trip
f.
open contacts in chilled water flow switch (optional)
g.
h.
open contacts in any auxiliary interlock. (Terminals
TBI-13 and TBJ-14, jumpered from factory, are in
series with the control switch. Opening the circuit
between these terminals places the unit in STANDBY
mode, just as moving the control switch to STANDBY
would. Code26 will appear as the operating mode
in the status function display. The unit cannot start
if these contacts are open, and if they open while unit
is running, it will pump down and stop.
Single Circuit Stoppage can be caused by the
following:
a. open contacts in
lead compressor discharge gas
thermostat
b. open contacts in loss of charge switch
c. open contacts in oil safety switch
d. open contacts in lead compressor high-pressure switch
Stoppage of one circuit by a safety device action does
not affect the other circuit. Besides stopping compressor(s), all devices listed will also close liquid line
solenoid valve for that circuit.
Lag Compressor Stoppage can be caused by the
following:
a. open contacts in discharge gas thermostat
b. open contacts in high-pressure switch
