Overview
5RLC-SVU05A-E4
The Trane CH530 control system that runs the chiller consists of several elements:
• The main processor collects data, status, and diagnostic information and communicates commands to the
LLID (for Low
Level Intelligent Device)
bus. The main processor has an integral display (DynaView).
LLID bus
. The main processor communicates to each input and output device (e.g. temperature and pressure sensors, low voltage binary inputs, analog input/output) all connected to a four-wire bus, rather than the conventional control architecture of signal wires for each device.
• The
communication interface
to a building automation system (BAS).
•A
service tool
to provide all service/maintenance capabilities. Main processor and service tool (TechView) software is downloadable from
www.Trane.com
. The process is discussed later in this section under TechView Interface. DynaView provides bus management. It has the task of restarting the link, or filling in for what it sees as "missing" devices when normal communications has been degraded. Use of TechView may be required.
The CH530 uses the IPC3 protocol based on RS485 signal technology and communicating at 19.2 Kbaud to allow 3 rounds of data per second on a 64-device network. Most diagnostics are handled by the DynaView. If a temperature or pressure is reported out of range by a LLID, the DynaView processes this information and calls out the diagnostic. The individual LLIDs are not responsible for any diagnostic functions.
Note: It is imperative that the CH530 Service Tool (TechView) be used to facilitate the replacement of any LLID or reconfigure any chiller component.
Controls Interface
DynaView (picture on cover)
Each chiller is equipped with the DynaView interface. DynaView has the capability to display additional information to the advanced operator including the ability to adjust settings. Multiple screens are available and text is presented in multiple languages as factory­ordered or can be easily downloaded online.
TechView
TechView can be connected to the DynaView module and provides further data, adjustment capabilities, diagnostics information, downloadable software, and downloadable languages.
DynaView Interface
RLC-SVU05A-E46
Power Up
On power-up, Dynaview will progress through 3 screens.
The first screen (Figure 1) will display for 3-10 seconds. This screen will give the status of the Application software, the Boot Software P/N, selftest results and the application part number. The contrast is adjustable from this screen. The message "Selftest passed" may be replaced with "Err2: RAM Error" or "Err3: CRC Failure"

DynaView Interface
RLC-SVU05A-E48
The display on DynaView is a 1/4 VGA display with a resistive touch screen and an LED backlight. The display area is approximately 4 inches wide by 3 inches high (102mm x 60mm).
CAUTION! Equipment Damage! Putting
excessive pressure on the touch screen could cause damage. It takes less than 7 kg of force to break the screen.
In this touch screen application, key functions are determined completely by software and change depending upon the subject matter currently being displayed. The basic touch screen functions are outlined below.
Radio Buttons
Radio buttons show 1 menu choice among 2 or more alternatives, all visible. The possible selections are each associated with a button. The selected button is darkened, presented in reverse video to indicate it is the selected choice. The full range of possible choices as well as the current choice is always in view.
Spin Value Buttons
Spin values are used to allow a variable setpoint to be changed, such as leaving water setpoint. The value increases or decreases by touching the (+) or (-) arrows.
Action Buttons
Action buttons appear temporarily and provide the user with a choice such as Enter or Cancel.
File Folder Tabs
File folder tabs are used to select a screen of data. The tabs are in 1 row across the top of the display. The user selects a screen of information by touching the appropriate tab.
Display Screens
The main body of the screen is used for description text, data, setpoints, or keys (touch sensitive areas). The Chiller Mode is displayed here. A double arrow pointing to the right indicates more information is available about the specific item on that same line. Pressing it will bring you to a sub-screen that will present the information or allow changes to settings.

DynaView Interface
9RLC-SVU05A-E4
The bottom of the screen (7) is present in all screens and contains the following functions. The contrast (8,9) may require re­adjustment at ambient temperatures significantly different from those present at last adjustment. The other functions are critical to machine operation. The AUTO and STOP keys are used to enable or disable the chiller. The key selected is in black (reverse video). The chiller will stop when the STOP key is touched and after completing the Run Unload mode.
Touching the AUTO key will enable the chiller if no diagnostic is present. (A separate action must be taken to clear active diagnostics.) The AUTO and STOP keys take precedence over the Enter and Cancel keys. (While a setting is being changed, AUTO and STOP keys are recognized even if Enter or Cancel has not been pressed.) The ALARMS button appears only when an alarm is present, and blinks (by alternating between normal and reverse video) to draw attention to a diagnostic condition. Pressing the ALARMS button takes you to the corresponding tab for additional information.
Note: screens may differ according to unit type or configuration. They should be considered as examples.
Keypad/Display Lockout Feature
Note: The DynaView display and
Touch Screen Lock screen is shown above. This screen is used if the Display and touch screen and lock feature is enabled. Thirty minutes after the last keystroke, this screen is displayed and the Display and Touch Screen is locked out until the sequence "159 <ENTER>" is pressed. Until the proper password
is entered, there will be no access to the DynaView screens including all reports, setpoints, and Auto/Stop/Alarms/Interlocks. The password "159" can not be changed from either DynaView or TechView.
For setting changes, use the password "314 <ENTER>".
System/Circuit Selection Buttons
On some report and setting screens, radio buttons on the top of the screen shall be presented to allow the user to select subscreens based on system-level data and per-circuit data.
For single-circuit units with system/circuit selection buttons, the buttons shall be labeled (in English) “System” and “Ckt”. For two-circuit units with system/circuit selection buttons, the buttons shall be labeled “System”, “Ckt1”, and “Ckt2”.

Run Inhibit
The chiller is currently being inhibited from starting (and running), but may be allowed to start if the inhibiting or diagnostic condition is cleared.
Run Inhibit Sub Modes Description
No Circuits Available The entire chiller is stopped by circuit diagnostics or lockouts that may automatically clear.
Ice Building Is Complete
The chiller is inhibited from running as the Ice Building process has been normally terminated on the evaporator entering temperature. The chiller will not start unless the ice building command (hardwired input or Building Automation System command) is removed or cycled.
Ice to Normal Transition
The chiller is inhibited from running for a brief period of time if it is commanded from active ice building mode into normal cooling mode via the ice building hardwired input or Tracer. This allows time for the external system load to "switchover" from an ice bank to the chilled water loop, and provides for a controlled pull down of the loop's warmer temperature. This mode is not seen if the ice making is automatically terminated on return brine temperature per the mode below.
Start(ing is)* Inhibited by BAS (Building Automation System)*
Chiller is stopped by Tracer or other BAS system.
Start(ing is)* Inhibited by External Source The chiller is inhibited from starting or running by the "external stop" hardwired input.
Diagnostic Shutdown - Auto Reset The entire chiller is stopped by a diagnostic that may automatically clear.
Waiting for BAS Communications (to Establish Operating Status)*
The chiller is inhibited because of lack of communication with the BAS. This is only valid 15 minutes after power up.
Start(ing is)* Inhibited by Low Ambient Temp(erature)*
The chiller is inhibited based on the outdoor air temperature.

Description
Establishing Min(imum)* Cap(acity)* - Low Diff(errential)* Pressure
The circuit is experiencing low system differential pressure and its compressor is being force loaded, irregardless Chilled Water Temperature Control, to develop pressure sooner.
Establishing Min Cap - High Disch Temp
The circuit is running with high discharge temperatures and its compressor is being forced loaded to its step load point, without regard to the leaving water temperature control, to prevent tripping on high compressor discharge temperature.
The following modes annunciations have not been implemented as a display but are actually operational in the EXV liquid level control algorithm. The modes included here as possible future annunciated modes
EXV Controlling Differential Pressure
Liquid level control of the Electronic Expansion Valve has temporarily been suspended. The EXV is being modulated to control for a minimum differential pressure. This control implies low liquid levels and higher approach temperatures, but only as is necessary to provide minimum oil flow for the compressor until the condenser water loop can warm up to approx 50F. (Future mode display - display of mode not implemented in Phase 1 or 2 although present in algorithms.)
EXV Controlling for Low Evaporator Pressure
Liquid level control of the Electronic Expansion Valve has temporarily been suspended. The EXV is being modulated to control for a minimum evaporator pressure that is based of the pressure of the Low Refrigerant Temperature Cutout. This control will tend to increase the liquid level above the setpoint or to open the valve more quickly than liquid level control can, in order to avoid an LRTC trip. It is most often invoked transiently to help open the EXV in the event of rapidly falling liquid level and rapidly declining evaporator pressures. (Future Mode display, - display of mode not implemented in Phase 1 or 2 although present in algorithms.)

Running - Limit
Sub Modes
Description
Current Limit
The compressor is running and its capacity is being limited by high currents. The current limit setting is 120% RLA (to avoid overcurrent trips) or lower as set by the compressor's "share" of the active current limit (demand limit) setting for the entire chiller.*
High Condenser Pressure Limit
The circuit is experiencing condenser pressures at or near the condenser limit setting. Compressors on the circuit will be unloaded to prevent exceeding the limits.*
Low Evaporator Rfgt Temperature Limit
The circuit is experiencing saturated evaporator temperatures at or near the Low Refrigerant Temperature Cutout setting. Compressors on the circuit will be unloaded to prevent tripping. *
Hot Start Limit
This mode will occur if the leaving evaporator water temperature exceeds 75F (for SW version 6.30 and earlier) or 90 F (for software 7.01 and later) at the point at which the step load for the respective circuit would be desired. This is often the case in a high water temperature pulldown. While in this mode, no compressor on the circuit will be allowed to load past its minimum load capacity step, but it will not inhibit other compressors from staging on. This mode is necessary to prevent nuisance trips due to Compressor Overcurrent or High Pressure Cutout. Reasonable pulldown rates can still be expected despite this limit, since the compressor's capacity even at partial load is much greater at high suction temperatures.

Auto, Stop/Immediate Stop
The AUTO and STOP keys are radio buttons within the persistent key display area. The selected key will be black.
The chiller will stop when the STOP key is touched, entering the Run Unload mode. An informational screen will be displayed for 5 seconds indicating that a second depression of an "Immediate Stop" key during this time period will result in an immediate/panic stop. Pressing the "Immediate Stop" key while the panic stop screen is displayed, will cause the unit to stop immediately, skipping operational pumpdown.
Touching the Auto key will arm the chiller for active cooling if no diagnostic is present. A separate action must be taken to clear active diagnostics.
The AUTO and STOP keys take precedence over the ENTER and CANCEL keys. While a setting is being changed, AUTO and STOP keys are recognized even if ENTER or CANCEL has not been pressed.
When an active diagnostic is present, an ALARMS key will be added to the persistent display area. This key is used to alert the operator that a diagnostic exists, or to provide navigation to a diagnostic display screen.

Diagnostics Screen
The diagnostic screen is accessible by depressing the Alarms enunciator. A verbal description will be provided. A scrollable list of the last (up to 10) active diagnostics will be presented.
Performing a Reset All Active Diagnostics will reset all active diagnostics regardless of type, machine or refrigerant circuit. Compressor diagnostics, which hold off only one compressor, will be treated as circuit diagnostics, consistent with the circuit to which they belong.
The scrollable list will be sorted by time of occurrence. If a diagnostic of severity = warning is present, the "Alarms" key will be present but not flashing. If a diagnostic of severity = shutdown (normal or immediate) is present, the "Alarm" key will display that is flashing. If no diagnostics exist, the "Alarm" key will not be present.
The "Operating Mode At Last Diagnostic" text above the most recent diagnostic will display a sub­screen listing the operating mode and submodes at the time of the last diagnostic.

The following diagnostic table contains all the diagnostics possible. Not all data is available unless tech view is connected.
Code: Three digit hexadecimal code used on all past products to uniquely identify diagnostics.
Diagnostic Name: Name of Diagnostic and its source. Note that this is the exact text used in the User Interface and/or Service Tool displays.
Severity: Defines the severity of the above effect. Immediate means immediate shutdown of the effected portion, Normal means normal or friendly shutdown of the effected portion, Special Mode means a special mode of operation (limp along) is invoked, but without shutdown, and Info means an Informational Note or Warning is generated.
Persistence: Defines whether or not the diagnostic and its effects are to be manually reset (Latched), or can be either manually or automatically reset (Nonlatched).
Criteria: Quantitatively defines the criteria used in generating the diagnostic and, if nonlatching, the criteria for auto reset. If more explanation is necessary a hot link to the Functional Specification is used.
Reset Level: Defines the lowest level of manual diagnostic reset command which can clear the diagnostic. The manual diagnostic reset levels in order of priority are: Local and Remote. A diagnostic that has a reset level of Local, can only be reset by a local diagnostic reset command, but not by the lower priority remote Reset command whereas a diagnostic listed as Remote reset can be reset by either.
Affects Target itemized with an * asterisk: applied to many comm loss and starter module derived diagnostic targets, listed as circuit targeted diagnostics, but should be understood as "cprsr" targeted diagnostics.

Power Loss ­Compressor 1A
*Circuit Immediate
NonLatch
All compressor running modes [all compressor starting and non­running modes]
The compressor had previously established currents while running and then all three phases of current were lost. Design: Less than 10% RLA, trip in 2.64 seconds. This diagnostic will preclude the Phase Loss Diagnostic and the Transition Complete Input Opened Diagnostic from being called out. To prevent this diagnostic from occurring with the intended disconnect of main power, the minimum time to trip must be greater than the guaranteed reset time of the Starter module. Note: This diagnostic prevents nuisance latching diagnostics due to a momentary power loss - It does not protect motor/compressor from uncontrolled power reapplication. See Momentary Power Loss Diagnostic for this protection. This diagnostic is not active during the start mode before the transition complete input is proven. Thus a random power loss during a start would result in either a "Starter Fault Type 3" or a "Starter Did Not Transition" latching diagnostic.

Notes:
1. The following communication loss diagnostics will not occur unless that input or output is required to be present by the particular configuration and installed options for the chiller.
2. Communication diagnostics (with the exception of "Excessive Loss of Comm" are named by the Functional Name of the input or output that is no longer being heard from by the Main Processor.
Many LLIDs, such as the Quad Relay LLID, have more than one functional output associated with it. A comm loss with such a multiple function board will generate multiple diagnostics. Refer to the Chiller's wiring diagrams to relate the occurrence of multiple communication diagnostics back to the physical llid boards that they have been assigned to (bound).

Note that this error display may also occur durring the programming process, if the MP never had a valid application any time prior to the download. If the problem persists, replace the MP.
A Valid Configuration is Present
A valid configuration is present in the MP's nonvolatile memory. The configuration is a set of variables and settings that define the physical makeup of this particular chiller. These include: number/airflow,/and type of fans, number/and size of compressors, special features, characteristics, and control options. // Temporary display of this screen is part of the normal power up sequence.
Err4: UnHandled Interrupt Restart Timer: [3 sec countdown timer]
An unhandled interrupt has occurred while running the application code. This event will normally cause a safe shutdown of the entire chiller. Once the countdown timer reaches 0, the processor will reset, clear diagnostics, and attempt to restart the application and allow a normal restart of chiller as appropriate. // This condition might occur due to a severe electro-magnetic transient such as can be caused by a near lightening strike. Such events should be rare or isolated and if no damage results to the CH530 control system, the Chiller will experience a shutdown and restart. If this occurs more persistently it may be due to an MP hardware problem. Try replacing the MP. If replacement of the MP proves ineffective, the problem may be a result of extremely high radiated or conducted EMI. Contact Technical Service. If this screen occurs immediately after a software download, attempt to reload both the configuration and the application. Failing this, contact Technical Service.

Diagnostics
53RLC-SVU05A-E4
Programmable Relays (Alarms and Status)
CH530 provides a flexible alarm or chiller status indication to a remote location through a hard wired interface to a dry contact closure.
Four relays are available for this function, and they are provided (generally with a Quad Relay Output LLID) as part of the Alarm Relay Output Option.
The events/states that can be assigned to the programmable relays are listed in the following table and through a TechView configuration.
Alarm - Latching
This output is true whenever there is any active latching shutdown diagnostic that targets the Unit, Circuit, or any of the Compressors on a circuit.
Alarm - NonLatching
This output is true whenever there is any active non-latching shutdown diagnostic that targets the Unit, Circuit, or any of the Compressors on a circuit.
Alarm
This output is true whenever there is any active latching or non­latching shutdown diagnostic that targets the Unit, Circuit, or any of the Compressors on a circuit.
Alarm Ckt 1
This output is true whenever there is any active latching or non­latching shutdown diagnostic that
targets Circuit 1, or any of the Compressors on Circuit 1.
Alarm Ckt 2
This output is true whenever there is any active latching or non­latching shutdown diagnostic that targets Circuit 2, or any of the Compressors on Circuit 2.
Unit Limit Mode
This output is true whenever a circuit on the unit has been running in one of the limit modes continuously for the Limit Relay debounce time. A given limit or overlapping of different limits must be in effect continuously for the debounce time prior to the output becoming true. It will become false if no limits are present for the debounce time.
Compressor Running
The output is true whenever any compressor is running.
Circuit 1 Running
The output is true whenever any compressor of Circuit 1 is running.
Circuit 2 Running
The output is true whenever any compressor of Circuit 2 is running.
Maximum Capacity
The output is true whenever the unit has reached maximum capacity continuously for the Max Capacity Relay debounce time. The output is false when the unit is not at maximum capacity continuously for the fitler debounce time.
Head Pressure Relief Request
This relay output is energized anytime the chiller or a single circuit on the chiller is running in one of the following modes; Ice Making Mode, or Condenser Pressure Limit continuously for the duration specified by the Chiller Head Relief Relay Filter Time. The Chiller Head Relief Relay Filter Time is a service setpoint. The relay output is de-energized anytime the chiller exits all above modes continuously for the duration specified by the same Chiller Head Relief Relay Filter Time
None:
This selection is desireable to provide an easy way for a customer to defeat the effect of the relay, if it has already been wired. For instance, if the relay was normally programmed as an "alarm" relay, and was wired to a claxon, it may be desirable to temporarily defeat the feature without changing wiring.
Default Assignments
The four available relays the Alarm Package Option shall be assigned with the following defaults as follows:
Operation of the Relays:
If any of the four programmable annunciation relays are assigned with the given event or state, that relay shall be energized when the event or state is true and de­energized when the event or state is false pursuant to debounce or filter timing that may be applied per the details of a given assignment.

an earlier version of TechView. The new TechView will update the existing files.
To install TechView on your computer
1. Create a new folder titled CH530 (C:\CH530) on your hard drive. This \CH530 folder is the standard location for the installation file. Storing the installation file in this location helps you remember where it is stored and makes it easier for technical support personnel to assist you.
2. Click the Download link for the latest version on the TechView Software Download page. The File Download – Security Warning dialog box appears.
3. Click Save to copy the installation file to your hard drive. Specify the \CH530 folder you created in Step 1 on the Save dialog box.
4. Double-click the installation (.exe) file. The License Agreement dialog box appears.
5. Click I Agree after reviewing the License Agreement.
The Choose Components dialog box appears. All components are selected by default. (These are the actual MP versions for all units.) Deselect any components you do not want included in the installation.
Note: Deselecting components reduces the size of the installed application.
6. Click Install. The Installation dialog appears with a progress meter indicating the percentage of the installation that has occurred. An installation information file appears when the installation is complete.
7. Click Close to exit the installation routine.
