MasterLAN –INSTRUCTION MANUAL
1 Introduction
MasterLan is used for control of the multiple units installation. MasterLan requires specific
hardware and software configuration.
2 Terms definition
Explanation of some important terms and names used in the MasterLan description.
pCO5:
PLC controller used in the MasterTherm CZ heat pumps.
pGD1:
Semigraphical terminal used for communication with user. (pCO Graphic Display).
pLAN:
Carel based protocol dedicated for communication between pCO controllers and pGD displays.
(pCO Local Area Network). Principle of data transmision is based on RS485 standard.
pLAN address:
Address of each unit in the pLAN. Each pCO controller and pGD terminal has its own pLAN
address.
MasterLan:
MasterTherm heat pumps hardware and software solution used for multiple heat pumps
installation. Control is based on Master/Slave principle. One unit is configured like Master and
all other units are configured like Slaves. Maximum 16 compressor circuits could be controlled
in the MasterLan.
Single controller machine:
Heat pump with one refrigerant circuit and one pCO5 controller.
Double controller machine:
Heat pump with 2 compressor circuits, 2 controllers and 1 pGD terminal. Switching of the
display between 2 controllers is made by pressing PRG and ENTER keys simultaneously
3 Hardware configuration
Each compressor of the heat pump circuit is controlled by one pCO5 controller.
Single controller heat pump is also equipped with single pGD terminal. Double controller heat
pump is equipped with 2 pCO5 controllers and single pGD display, which is used for
communicating with both compressor circuits of the unit. Switching of the display between 2
controllers is made by pressing PRG and ENTER keys simultaneously. In the double heat
pump 2 controllers are already interconnected with pLAN protocol. Connection is made by 3
wires between terminals 61(Rx-/Tx-), 62(Rx+/Tx+) and 63(GND). Terminals are interconnected
with J11 pLAN connector of pCO5.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ADDRESS SETTING IT IS ABSOLUTLY NECESSARY TO
DISCONNECT J11 pLAN CONNECTOR FROM ALL CONTROLLERS.

MasterLAN –INSTRUCTION MANUAL
4.3 Control principle
Control automaticaly balances the operating hours and sequence of the compressors.
MasterLAN setpoint for compressors and heaters are automatically transferred from Master
unit. Although Slaves are switched On and Off via MasterLAN, they still keep they own setting.
Therefore Slaves setpoints must be highest possible for heating mode and lowes possible for
cooling mode.
4.3.1 Proportional control (recommended)
Proportional control works very simply. Proportional band is divided between compressor steps.
Proportional control is stable but always works with steady state error, so the system is not able
to reach exactly the setpoint. This is not a problem, cause compressors are controlled by On/Off
principle. Disadvantage is, that “band”is relatively big, cause You can not set band per one
compressor less than 1K. This could be the problem for more than 4 compressors.
Example:
Compressors: 4 Proportional band: 4 Requested temperature: 40 °C
Starting temperature: 30 °C
All compressors are running.
When the temperature reaches 37°C, 1st compressor is switched Off.
When the temperature reaches 38°C, 2nd compressor is switched Off.
When the temperature reaches 39°C, 3rd compressor is switched Off.
When the temperature reaches 40°C, the last compressor is switched Off.
Starting temperature: 40 °C
All compressors are Off.
When the temperature reaches 39°C, 1st compressor is switched On.
When the temperature reaches 38°C, 2nd compressor is switched On.
When the temperature reaches 37°C, 3rd compressor is switched On.
When the temperature reaches 36°C, the last compressor is switched On.
4.3.2 PI control
PI control is able to work almost without steady state error, but it’s more sensible for unstability.
It requires more time during commisioning for proper setting of the P and I constants.
Revison 1.1, Ing. Jiří Jiránek 16
MasterLAN –INSTRUCTION MANUAL
4.3.3 PID control
This is the best control method for the more than 4 compressors in the MasterLAN. In reality
You are able to have almost continuous and very accurate control of the requested water
temperature. Begin with the setting of the P/I/D = 50K / 100s / 10s.
If the systém is not stable, increase P.
5 Alarms MasterLAN masks
To find information about Slaves alarms, press ALARM button on the MasterLAN mask.
Press ALARM button to see Slaves alarm status......
Pressing the ENTER key You can edit and change Slave unit. After change for the Slave unit
please wait some time to allow the system to read the data from the Slave unit (30s
recommended).
If You press ALARM button on this mask, Master will send RESET command to all Slaves.

6 Additional notes
• For heating mode all Slaves must have maximum water requested temperature settings
in the menu “Heating Set”, 47.5°C recommended both for point A and B.
- this is not neccessary from SW revision 33 (document revision 12)
• For cooling mode all Slaves must have minimum water requested temperature settings in
the menu “Cooling Set”, 14.5°C recommended both for point A and B.
• Control of the Sanitary Hot Water must be performed by Master unit only.
• All requested temperature settings must be done in the Master unit ONLY. (“Master”
displayed in the right top corner of the display in the ICON mask.
• Internet connection if it is used, must be in the Master unit.
