CHILLER and HEAT PUMP ALGORITHM

1 Introduction The algorithm here below described allows the management of cooling and heating units like: Air/Water, Water/Water, Air/Air up to 4 circuits, 8 hermetic or semi hermetic compressors with unloaders control, 4 screw compressors with step or stepless control. In master-slave configuration it is possible to manage bigger units. Because of the algorithm capability to manually assign inputs and outputs according to the unit’s features to control, it is suitable to be executed in all MCX electronic controllers. The main algorithm’s functions are as follows:

» inlet or outlet evaporator water temperature regulation » proportional, proportional/integral or dead zone regulation » anti freeze control » steps or inverter compressors management » compressor unloaders management » screw compressors management » steps or inverter condensing fan speed control » twin pumps control » alarms management » setpoint management:

» second setpoint » remote setpoint » setpoint compensation

» defrost management » boiler management » automatic change-over » liquid valve and pump down management » free-cooling management » electronic expansion valve management » scheduler » network connection (master-slave)

2 Unit configuration

2.1 Input/Output configuration To make the most of the hardware controller resources, you can manually assign the function performed by each controller’s input and output or through the user interface, or through the software configurator “Interface_Chiller_HP_vNN.xls” provided together with the application software (see “APPENDIX – Configurator usage” at the end of the manual). Follow below the complete list of the available functions that can be independently assigned to each input and output.

2.2 “H” parameters for unit configuration After assigning the desired function to each input and output (see the previous chapter) you have to set the “H” parameters for the unit configuration according to the input and output. For info on how to access the "H" parameters, please see chapter 3. Group1=CFG – Unit Config Group2=EVA - Evaporator H1 - Number of evaporators Defines the number of evaporators H2 - Number of circuits per evaporator Defines the number of refrigerant circuits per evaporator. H3 - Air or water cooling Defines if the evaporation process is managed by a pump (H3=H2O) or a fan (H3=Air). » WATER evaporators (H3=H2O).

For each evaporator, are controlled the “Heater1”, ..., “Heater4” digital outputs which are necessary to manage the anti freeze heaters on the basis of the leaving water temperature “ToutEvaporator1”, ..., “ToutEvaporator4” as described in the related chapter. The number of heaters per evaporator is defined by H5.

» AIR evaporators (H3=Air). Only “Tout Evaporator 1” input is used to measure the supply air temperature even when more than one evaporator is present.

H4 - Numbers of evaporator pumps By this parameter is possible to define the necessary digital outputs to control the pumps (or fan) on the evaporator. » WATER evaporators (H3=H2O).

The “Evaporator Pump1/Fan” and “Evaporator Pump2” digital output are managed to control one pump or two twin pumps.

» AIR evaporators (H3=Air). Evap Pump1/Fan1”, “Evap Pump2/Fan2”, “Evap Fan3”, ...., “Evap Fan8” output are used to manage fans on the evaporator.

H5 - Number of heaters per evaporator Multiplied by H1, number of evaporators, defines the total number of heaters that are managed and consequently the number of digital output “Heater1”, ..., ”Heater4” used to drive them. Group2=CMP – Compressors H6 - Number of compressors per circuit Multiplied by H2 (number of circuits per evaporator) and by H1 (number of evaporators), defines the total number of compressors that are managed and consequently the number of digital output ”Compressor1”, ..., ”Compressor8” used to drive them. Compressors are assigned to circuits in a sequential and balanced way, assuming that all circuits have the same number of compressors; e.g. in a system made of 3 circuits and 6 compressors, “Compressor1” and “Compressor2” output are assigned to control compressors belonging to the first circuit; “Compressor3” and “Compressor4” to the second circuit; “Compressor5” and “Compressor6” to the third circuit. H7 - Number of unloaders per compressor To each unloader per compressor corresponds one digital output “Comp1 Unloader1”, ..., “Comp8 Unloader8” to drive the unloading valve. Group2=CND – Condenser Each condenser circuit is controlled by an analog input “DischargePress C1”, ..., “DischargePress C4” for temperature or pressure condensing regulation. The same input is then used for defrost control in air cooled heat pumps in heating mode. For water cooled heat pumps with refrigerant changeover , the ““ToutCondenser1”, ..., “ToutCondenser4” probe on the output of each condenser is used for anti freeze control of the outdoor heat exchanger leaving water in heating mode.

For water cooled heat pumps with water changeover, only one probe, “ToutCondenser1”, is used for water heating control. H9 – Air or water cooled condenser Defines if fan (H9=Air) or pump (H9=H2O) is used for condensing regulation. If it’s an air cooled condenser, defrost control is performed in heating mode. H10 - Number of pumps or fans per condenser Defines the necessary digital output to control the pumps or fans on the condenser. » Water cooled units (H9=H2O).

The single “Cond Fan1/Pump1” digital output is controlled to drive a pump. » Air cooled units (H9=AIR).

Contributes to define the total number of managed ventilation steps and thus of the corresponding ”Condenser Fan1, ..., ”Condenser Fan8” digital output used to drive them. See the H11 parameter.

H11 - Fans in common to all condensers On multi-circuits units, fans can be in common to all condensers. If fans are not in common to all condensers (H11=NO), the following output are controlled: » as many analog input as the condensers (H1*H2) » as many digital output as the condensers (H1*H2), multiplied by the number of fans per condenser (H10); digital

output for fans are assigned to condensers in a sequential and balanced way, assuming that all condensers have the same number of fans; e.g. in a system made of 2 condensers and 6 fans, “Cond Fan1/Pump1”, “Condenser Fan2” and “Condenser Fan3” output are assigned to control fan belonging to the first condenser; “Condenser Fan4”, “Condenser Fan5” and “Condenser Fan6” to the second condenser.

» as many analog output “InverterFanCond1”,...,” InverterFanCond4” for condensing control as the condensers (H1*H2).

If fans are in common to all condensers (H11=YES) the following output are used: » as before, as many analog inputs for condensing control as the circuits per condenser (H1*H2), but regulation is

made on the one requiring the higher response from the control. Each analog input is then used for defrost control in heating mode;

» as many digital outputs as fans per condenser (H10); » one analog output “InverterFanCond1” for fan speed regulation. Group2=HP – Heat Pump H40 - Heat pump type Heat pump operation can be realised with refrigerant (H40=GAS) or water (H40= H2O) changeover. One digital output “Reverse Valve C1, ..., “Reverse Valve C4” per each circuit is reserved for controlling the reverse flow valve. Boiler number of heaters (H44) Defines the number of boiler heaters that are managed and consequently the number of digital output ”Boiler1”, ..., ”Boiler4” used to drive them. NOTE. Analog input for temperature control The probe used for temperature control is the one defined with the rEG parameter among any of the available analog input. In water cooled heat pumps with water changeover (H40= H2O), the single “ToutCondenser1” probe is used for temperature control in heating mode.

2.3 Default I/O configuration The default I/O assignment according to the type of MCX controller is set through the software configurator “Interface_Chiller_HP_vNN.xls”.

3.1 Turning ON and OFF Unit turning ON and OFF can be done as follow: » by the UP key for 3s to turn it ON or OFF, » by menu (see “3.4 - Menu navigation”), » by parameter y01 (group1 “GEN – General”, group2 “StU – Setup”). See “3.6 - Setup functions”. » by “ON/OFF” digital input, if present.

Note that all the above ways can turn OFF the unit. To turn it ON the digital input must be closed. If the digital input has been configured to have “Polarity=Close” (default setting), it means that the input is in the OFF state when it is open.

» by supervisor

Turning OFF When the controller has been turned OFF, then all the output are deactivated (respecting all the protection times). OFF condition is evident through “OFF” sign on the display A or “IOFF” if the “ON/OFF” digital input is active; display B keeps the value it was already showing (see the next chapter). In case of OFF condition, the following functions are active: » anti freeze control (see AI3 parameter, group1 “ALA – Alarms”, group2 “ICE – Ice”), » probe alarm management (you can define through the configurator which alarms are active in the OFF state; see

“APPENDIX – Configurator usage” at the end of the manual) » possibility by parameter AOF (group1 “ALA – Alarms”, group2 “BUZ – Buzzer and relay”) to manage the alarm

output.

Turning ON Turning ON the unit you get access to the main screen.

3.6 Setup functions Group1: GEN – General Group2: StU – Setup

3.6.1 ON/OFF function

Through the y01 parameter you decide the ON/OFF status of the unit. » y01=OFF: unit is OFF; » y02=ON: unit is ON. For the other ways to turn ON and OFF the unit see the paragraph “3.1 - Turning ON and OFF” inside “User interface”.

3.6.2 Re-start function

When the MCX is powered up, the unit status is decided by y02 as follows:: » y02=OFF: the unit doesn’t re-start automatically, it will remain in OFF mode; » y02=ON: the unit re-starts automatically, even if it was in OFF mode before the power was cut out; » y02=EQUA: the unit will return automatically to the same mode it was before the power was cut out.

3.6.3 Heat/cool selection

Through the y03 parameter you decide the heating/cooling mode of the unit. » y03=COOL: unit is in cooling mode; » y03=HEAt: unit is in heating mode. For the other ways to select heating and cooling mode see the paragraph “3.3 - Heat/cool selection” inside “User interface”.

3.6.4 Delay at power ON

Through the y04 parameter you set the delay at power-ON (not when the unit status changes ON) before activating any output. It’s purpose is to distribute the drawn current and protect the elements and particularly the compressor against repeated starts in the event of frequent power failures. When the timer has elapsed, the controller starts to manage the output based on the other times and the other normal functions.

4 Temperature setpoint management Group1: rEG – Regulation Group2: SEt – Setpoint The cooling temperature setpoint is defined with SC1 parameter. It can be modified between a minimum and a maximum value, set with SCL and SCH parameters. Similarly the heating temperature setpoint is defined with SH1 parameter. It can be modified between a minimum and a maximum value, set with SHL and SHH parameters. For the heating/cooling selection see the paragraph “3.3 - Heat/cool selection” inside “User interface”. SC1 or SH1 setpoint are not the active setpoint if one of the following functions is active.

4.1 Offset from digital input - Secondary setpoint Group1: rEG – Regulation Group2: SdI – Second setpoint It consists in adding a constant value (offset) to the active setpoint and differential according to the status of the “Offset from DI” digital input. In cooling mode, the offset for the SC1 setpoint is defined with SdC parameter. In heating mode, the offset for the SH1 setpoint is defined with SdH parameter. In both cases the OFFSET for differential is SdO. According to the digital input status, the regulation uses the main or the secondary setpoint and differential. NOTE. If the digital input has been configured to have “Polarity=Close” (default setting), it means that the main setpoint SC1 or SH1 is used when it is closed.

4.2 Offset from analog input – Remote setpoint The setpoint is calculated adding to the active setpoint an offset calculated according to the value read by the “Remote Set” analog input. For the offset calculation you define the minimum and maximum limits of the offset corresponding to the end of scale of the input signal. The “Min” and “Max” limits are defined in the analog input configuration phase.

You can obtain it as a particular case of the offset from analog input (see above). In this case the reference is measured with the “Remote Set” analog input and the SC1 and SH1 setpoint must be equal to the difference in temperature that you want to obtain.

5 Temperature regulation

5.1 Selection of regulation probe in cooling mode Group1: rEG – Regulation Group2: CFG – Configuration Through the rEG parameter it is possible to assign the function of regulation probe to any analog input among AI1, ..., AI8. By default it is set to AI1, corresponding to the inlet evaporator probe, “Tin Evaporator”. It must then be changed if the regulation on the outlet evaporator probe is requested, “Tout Evaporator1” for single evaporator or “Tout Evap Mix” for more evaporators. The rEG parameter value must always be set up to the physical analog input where the control probe is connected to.

5.2 Selection of regulation probe in heating mode Probes used for regulation change according to the heat pump type. On refrigerant changeover heat pumps there is the functional switch between the evaporator and the condenser. Regulation probes are then the same than in cooling mode and are those on the internal heat exchanger, defined through the rEG parameter. On the contrary, water changeover heat pumps are regulated with different probes depending on the way of working. In cooling mode the evaporator probe is used (see the point above). In heating mode the regulation probe is fixed and is “Tout Condenser1”.

5.3 Temperature regulation types The following regulation types are available and set through the rEt parameter.

5.3.1 Proportional regulation (rEt=P)

Group1: rEG – Regulation Group2: PID –PID regulation It is a proportional regulation with aside band. A regulation band (or differential) is defined aside the setpoint, rC1 in cooling mode and rH1 in heating mode, inside of which the controller establishes its action entity proportionally to the position of the regulated value inside the band itself. Compressors steps management The number of regulation steps is calculated starting from the configured number of compressors H6 and eventual unloaders per compressor H7 in the following way: » Total number of compressors results from H6*H2*H1, that is the number of compressors per circuit H6,

multiplied by the number of circuits per evaporator H2 and by the number of evaporators H1. » Total number of unloaders results from the multiplication between the total number of compressors and the

number of unloaders per compressor, H7. » Total number of load steps results from the total number of compressors plus the total number of unloaders. The regulation band is equally divided among all the steps as per the figure below.

The digital output used to control compressors are “Compressor1”, ..., “Compressor8”. For unloaders are “Comp1 Unloader1”, ..., “Comp8 Unloader8”. Compressors with inverter management Group1: CMP – Compressors Group2: INV – Inverter The “Inverter Comp1” analog output and “Compressor1” digital output are used to drive an inverter. It is assumed that the inverter is connected to the first compressor and when the inverter management is enabled with IV0=YES, the “Compressor1” digital output becomes the output used to eventually switch ON/OFF the inverter. You have to define with IV1, IV2 and IV3 parameters the values in percentage corresponding to the inverter minimum, maximum and start speed; within this values the proportional action of the analog output is calculated as described in the figure below for both heating and cooling mode.

The inverter output is activated at start speed IV3 when the cooling or heating requested power is equal or greater than the power obtained with the inverter at that speed. Through IV4 also a minimum inverter ON time is defined. Till this time has not elapsed, the inverter will maintain its minimum speed even if it is requested to turn OFF. When other compressors are present besides the one driven by the inverter, then the inverter is used to supply the lack of power. In any case, the power supplied will always remain below the requested one. Compressors are assumed to have the same power. In the below figure has been described a situation with 4 compressors, the first one with inverter management.

5.3.2 Proportional + Integral regulation (rEt=PI)

Group1: rEG – Regulation Group2: PID – Reg PID To eliminate the steady-state error typical of proportional control in order to obtain a more precise regulation, an integral regulation can be added to the proportional one (P+I). In this way it’s also possible to take in consideration the time when the regulated value is far from the setpoint. Once activated the P+I regulation, the controller increase or decrease the integral error time after time, adding it to the proportional error: the result is to gradually bring the equilibrium point near to the desired setpoint, overcoming situations of stalemate in which the steady-state error is constant, typical situation of proportional controls only. The characteristic parameter to set is the integral time Ki (rin parameter), whose value settles the reaction speed of the P+I regulation (the lower the integral time, the faster the response of the control). The integral time is defined as the time to be elapsed for making the integral error become equal to the proportional error, with a constant proportional error. It is possible to enable with rC2 the gradual reduction of the integral error once reached and exceeded the setpoint. The error integral in fact tend to keep the compressors turned on even if the proportional part of the error would require the shutdown. The amount of reduction is proportional to the distance from the setpoint considering the rC3 band. For example, in cooling, the reduction is zero when the control temperature is equal to the setpoint; the reduction is greatest when it is equal to setpoint-rC3.

5.3.3 Dead zone regulation

Group1: rEG – Regulation Group2: ddz – Dead zone It is a variable time regulation mainly used when the regulated value is the temperature of the fluid leaving the evaporator. A dead zone ddC is defined inside which no regulating action is taken. Outside the dead zone, compressors are activated following a variable time logic described below. Compressors steps management in cooling mode The delay between compressors activations varies between a maximum value dd5 and minimum value dd6 proportional to the temperature position inside the regulation band defined by the activation differential dd1. Above setpoint + dead zone + activation differential, the delay among activations is equal to the minimum. Similar action for the delay among compressors deactivations, which can varies between a maximum value dd7 and a minimum value dd8 proportional to the temperature position inside the regulation band defined by the deactivation differential dd2. Below setpoint-differential, the delay among activations is equal to the minimum value, dd8, up to a limit threshold, dd3. Below that, all the compressors are immediately switched OFF to avoid the unit ice alarm.

6 Compressors Through H6 parameter, it’s possible to set up the number of compressors per each circuit. Considering this parameter and the number of circuits (H1*H2), it’s possible to define the total number of compressors. Some other parameters must be set up to activate and configure the here below functions.

6.1 Rotation Group1: CMP – Compressors Group2: CFG – Set up The compressor calls are rotated (C01) in order to balance the number of compressor run hours and start-stop among the units. Rotation is performed among compressors only, and not among load steps. If the compressor elected by the rotation algorithm to be the next to start or stop can’t do it because of its protection times, it is substituted by the next one. The available rotation types are: » C01=LIFO (LastInFirstOut) or not enabled rotation; it means that the first compressor to start will be the last to

stop. start: C1, C2 stop: C2, C1

» C01=FIFO (FirstInFirstOut); it means that the first compressor to start will be the first to stop. start: C1, C2 stop: C1, C2

» C01=tIME. Running hours control; the compressor to start is the one with the lowest number of run hours; the compressor to stop is the one with the highest number of run hours.

NOTE. The resolution of one second is used for the measurement of the running time. The storage of this time in non volatile memory takes place every 5 minutes. To reset the hour counter parameter, see the paragraph “6.4 - Hour counter”. If a compressor stops due to an alarm, another compressor will immediately start.

6.2 Load step management Group1: CMP – Compressors Group2: ULd – Load steps Unloading a compressor means sharing the power load in several stages. NOTE. From here after, when we will talk about switching ON or OFF an unloading valve, it’ll mean to increase or decrease the number of load steps, independently from the unloading valve working logic. To manage the load steps you have to set the number of load steps per compressor (H7) and the following parameters: » Start delay C06 among unloaders or between the compressor’s activation and its load step. It avoids the

compressor’s activation at full load. » the way of switching ON compressors with load steps C04. If it is set to Cp, the software gives priority to the

complete start of each single compressor; otherwise if it is set to CCp or CCp1, the software switches ON first all compressors and then all the load steps of one compressor (CCp) or alternated (CCp1). E.g. in a system made of 2 compressors and 2 load steps, p11 and p12 are the load steps 1 and 2 of compressor 1 and p21 and p22 are the load steps 1 and 2 of compressor 2. If C04=CCp the activation sequence is C1 C2 p11 p12 p21 p22. If C04=CCp1, the activation sequence is C1 C2 p11 p21 p12 p22.

» the way of switching OFF compressors with load steps C05. If it is set to ppCC, during the compressor switching OFF phase, first are switched OFF all the load steps and then the corresponding compressors. This is useful when you need to limit the OFF numbers (and thus the ON numbers) of compressors, in order to save their life. If it is set to pCpC, during the compressor switching OFF phase, the complete OFF of the single compressor is privileged, in order to more frequently alternate the switched ON compressors.

NOTE. The unloading valve working logic between Normally Close (N.C.) and Normally Open (N.O.), i.e. if valves are energized or not when the compressor is at full load, is defined at the physical output configuration phase. If polarity is set to “Open” (as by default) it means that unloaders are energized at full load.

6.3 Compressor delay times Group1: CMP – Compressors Group2: TIM – Times The programmable delay times that are used in the algorithm for the management of compressors and load steps have the purpose to ensure the compressor good working, and to increase their life time. When one of this delay times is active, the icon on the display corresponding to the delayed element flashes. The managed times are: CT0 - Minimum time between 2 ON of different compressors It sets the minimum time that must elapse between two starts of different compressors, in order to reduce the peak of current drawn at power up.

7 Liquid solenoid valve and pump-down Group1: CMP – Compressors Group2: LVA –Liquid Valve It is used:

one Digital Output to drive one liquid solenoid valve for each circuit (“Liquid Valve C1”, ..., “Liquid Valve C4”)

one low pressure switch (“LP Circuit1”, ..., “LP Circuit4”) or suction pressure transducer (“SuctionPress C1”, ..., “SuctionPress C4”) for each circuit.

one digital input for each circuit (“Manual Pump Down C1”, ..., “Manual Pump Down C4”) to manually activate the pump-down

NOTE. If the transducer for suction pressure is not present but there is only the transducer for the discharge pressure, in heating mode (on heat pumps with gas changeover) that is also used to control the pump-down.

7.1 Start-up When the temperature control requires to start the first compressor of each circuit, this is the sequence:

open the liquid valve

wait until start-up timer Pd2 has elapsed or until suction pressure is above initial start pressure set point Pd3 (whatever comes first). This is to start before the suction pressure rise to a level where the gas turn into liquid.

8 Electronic Expansion Valve The algorithm is able to manage up to 4 electronic expansion valve, model type EXD316. It is managed one valve per circuit.

8.1 Connection Connect the valve drivers to MCX using the CAN bus. Refer to the specific document on how to connect the valve drivers to the MCX.

8.2 Configuration Group1: Exd – EXD Parameters Group2: Add – Can Address The software manages a number of valve equal to the number of circuits (H1 * H2). Through the ex1 parameter, set the CAN address of the first EXD driver connected. The CAN address of the other EXD drivers, if any, must be consecutive to the first one and without gaps. Refer to the specific document on how to set the CAN address on the EXD drivers. If ex1 is set to 0, no EXD driver is managed. If ex1 is different from 0 and there is no driver connected having that address, an alarm is generated. See “15 Alarms”. We suggest to set ex1 to 20 as it is the default address of the EXD drivers.

8.3 Alarms A set of alarms is managed for each valve. See “15 Alarms”.

9 Heaters

9.1 Heaters in cooling mode: anti freeze control

9.1.1 Configuration

Group1: HEA – Heaters Group2: CFG – Configuration Anti freeze control is active on those units where water is the chilled fluid (H3=H2O) and it is made on the outlet probe of each evaporator “Tout Evaporator1”, ..., “Tout Evaporator4”. It has the purpose to prevent evaporator icing. On those units where air is the chilled fluid (H3=Air), heaters doesn’t have anti freeze function but they prevent to exceed the limit of low supply air temperature A07. In this case the control probe used is “Tout Evaporator1”, even if there is more than one evaporator. By parameter HE1 you can configure if the activation of any heater on any circuit causes the shut OFF of all the active cooling elements (always respecting their delay times), while the pump keeps on running to reduce the ice danger.

9.1.2 Regulation

Group1: HEA – Heaters Group2: rEG – Regulation Anti freeze control consists in switching ON the anti freeze heaters on the affected evaporator, using the “Heater1”, ..., “Heater4” digital output, when the temperature measured by the probe on the evaporator output “Tout Evaporator1”, ..., “Tout Evaporator4” goes below the configured limit HE2 as described in the following figure in case of 2 heaters.

9.1.3 Ice alarm

On water chillers (H3=H2O) we talk about ice alarm; otherwise (H3=Air) about low air temperature alarm. There is a limit AIS and a differential AId for the circuit ice alarm (AE1, ..., AE4) different from the one for the heaters management (see figure). It is delayed from the start up of the main pump by the AI1 time in cooling and AI2 time in heating, to provide the unit with enough time to move all the cool fluid, avoiding stops The reset type is configurable through AIr (see “12 - Alarms”). If the unit is OFF, the alarm condition is monitored anyway (this setting is changeable only by configurator; see “APPENDIX – Configurator usage” at the end of the manual) and through AI3 these are the possible actions: » AI3=HOFF. No action, heaters OFF, » AI3=HON. Only heaters ON, up to the exit of the ice alarm conditions, » AI3=HPON. Heaters and pump ON, up to the exit of the ice alarm conditions.

9.1.4 High temperature warning

There is a limit AtS and a differential Atd for the high temperature warning in cooling A09, monitored by any of the evaporator outlet probes “Tout Evaporator1”, ..., “Tout Evaporator4”. It is delayed of 60 seconds at start up and it is activated only if there is at least one compressor ON.

9.2 Heaters in heating mode

9.2.1 Configuration

Group1: HEA – Heaters Group2: CFG – Configuration Heaters that are used for anti freeze in cooling mode, are used as auxiliary heaters in heating mode. On air heat pumps (H3=Air, H9=Air) they can be used to reduce the cold air flow during defrost. Heaters are controlled from the probe used for regulation. Through the HE1 parameter it is defined if compressors must be turned OFF (always respecting their delay times) when a heater is activated in any of the present circuits. On water cooled (H9=H2O) refrigerant changeover heat pumps (H40=GAS) there is the management of the ice alarm on the external heat exchanger in heating mode (evaporator): the ice probe becomes the one on the external heat exchanger (“Tout Condenser1”, ..., “Tout Condenser4”) and the alarm setpoint AIS is the same as in cooling mode.

9.2.2 Regulation

Group1: HEA – Heaters Group2: rEG – Regulation Heaters management in support or during defrosts is performed as follows. Heaters are turned ON using the “Heater1”, ..., “Heater4” digital output, when temperature measured by regulation probe enters in the area defined by setpoint in heating HE4 and differential HE5, as described in figure in case of 2 heaters.

They are in alternative with the heat pump, not in addition. Boiler heaters can be activated only if the measured temperature by the “BoilerSafety” internal probe is under a specific safety limit AbS. If it is overcome, alarm A14 is generated. To reset the alarm there is a constant differential Abd of 2 degrees to be considered.

10 Evaporator water pump/fan When water is the cooled fluid (H3=H2O), then we talk about evaporator water pump. In case of air (H3=Air), we talk about evaporator fan. On both cases the “Evap Pump1/Fan” digital output is used to drive the pump/fan. When the number of pumps H4 is equal to 2 (for water chiller only), also the “Evap Pump2” output is used to drive a second pump (see the next chapter). For air units, on the contrary, H4 must be set to 1 because software is able to manage only one evaporator fan. The evaporator water pump functioning, here below described, is valid for the evaporator fan too. According to P01 parameters these are the possible pump way of working: » P01=OFF. No regulation. » P01=ON. Pump always ON. It is switched OFF only when the unit is OFF. » P01=ON_C. Regulation activated on regulator call.

The pump functioning is ON/OFF and it’s only subordinate to the compressors functioning: pump is switched ON when cooling is requested; pump is switched OFF when all compressors are OFF.

» P01=brSt. Regulation activated on regulator call and intermittent working when not requested. Generally, the pump will be never switched OFF if all the compressors won’t first. Mode P01=ON: pump always ON Pump functioning is prior to all the controls. The pump will be activated as soon as the equipment will. The pump will be switched OFF after a programmable delay P02 from the compressors switched OFF (with unit OFF).

Mode P01=brSt: intermittent working When cooling isn’t requested or the unit is OFF, the pump is activated with ON and OFF regular intervals, independently from compressors, as per two parameters: pulse ON time P03 and pulse OFF time P04. When cooling or heating is requested, evaporator circulation water pump and compressor management is like P01=ON_C therefore activated on regulator call. At the unit start, the pulse OFF time P04 has to be waited before to activate the intermittent working.

10.1 Evaporator twin pumps control Group1: EVA – Evaporators Group2: P2 – Second pump If a second evaporator pump is present, through P21 parameter you can decide the management among the following ones: » P21=bUP. Emergency pump.

The second pump will occur only if flow switch alarm A03 or main pump thermal overload alarm A05 are present; in that case the pumps will be rotated and the A08 warning is generated. If the alarm goes back, the unit will continue to function with the second pump. When the next alarm happens, the pumps will be rotated again. See “12 – Alarms” paragraph about the functioning when alarm persists.

» P21=Strt. Rotation to each restart. One pump takes the place of the other one to each restart (in intermittent working mode too).

» P21=HOUr. Constrained rotation over a time limit threshold. One pump takes the place of the other one after P22 time, which is the maximum run hours limit for forcing rotation.

In case of alarm for the operating pump (flow switch or thermal overload alarms), the second pump will occur as emergency pump mode, independently from P21.

10.2 Hour counter Group1: EVA – Evaporators Group2: PHr – Run hours To evaluate pumps condition, the control monitors the run hours of the first and second pump (see “3 -User interface” paragraph). Once the limit to monitor has been fixed in P50, if the pump functioning time exceeds it, then the control will generate A10 or A11 warning, indicating the need for pump maintenance.

11 Condenser fans/pumps In the air cooled units (H9=Air), the condensing regulation is achieved by the management of the condenser battery fans. These fans can be controllod also by the freecooling function, see “12 Water free-cooling”. In the water cooled units (H9=H2O), the condensing regulation is achieved by the management of the water pump on the condensing circuit. In both cases it is possible to configure if a sensor is used for regulation and its type (defining if it’s a temperature or pressure regulation).

11.1 Air condensing unit In the air cooled units, the number of fans (or more precisely the number of steps, as fans could be grouped together in parallel) for each battery must be set in H10. The digital output used for condensing step control are “Cond Fan1/Pump1”, “Condenser Fan2”, ..., Condenser Fan8”. The output used to drive possible inverters are the “Inverter Cond1”, ..., “Inverter Cond8” digital output to activate the inverter and the analog output “InverterFanCond1”, ..., “InverterFanCond8” to drive them. The number of used output is calculated as follows. If fans are in common to all condensers (H11=NO) the following output are controlled: » as many digital output as circuits/condensers are (H1*H2) multiplied by the number of fans per condensing

circuit H10; » as many analog and digital output for fan speed regulation as circuits/condensers are (H1*H2). If fans are not in common to all condensers (H11=YES) the following output are used: » as many digital output as the number of fans per condenser H10, thus not multiplied by the circuits number. » one analog output InverterFanCond1” and one digital output “Inverter Cond1” for fan speed regulation.

11.1.1 Way of working

Group1: CNd – Condenser Group2: CFG – Configuration According to F01 parameters these are the possible ways for condensing regulation: » F01=OFF. No regulation. » F01=ON. Fans always ON. They are switched OFF only when the unit is OFF. » F01=ON_C. Regulation connected to the compressors functioning.

The fans’ functioning is ON/OFF and it’s only subordinate to the compressors functioning: fans are switched ON to the maximum speed when at least one compressor, in the relative circuit, is active. All compressors OFF = fans OFF after time F03. At least one compressor ON = fans ON.

» F01=Prb. Regulation connected to a temperature or pressure sensor “DischargePress1”, ..., “DischargePress4”.

The sensors are put in charge to regulate the condenser fans. The fans’ functioning is subordinated to the temperature or pressure sensor values and eventually to the compressors functioning. In fact, when the compressors are switched OFF, by F02 parameter is possible to define if the fans will be or not switched OFF after F03 time independently from the condensing temperature / pressure. The number of used input is equal to the number of condensers H8. In case of separated condensing circuits (H11=NO) each temperature/pressure sensors manage its own fan or group of fans. In case of single condensing circuit (H11=YES) are used as many input as the condensers are, but regulation is performed on the one requiring the highest action to the controller (each analog input is then used for defrost control on heat pump units). The regulation could be by steps or continuous as described in the next chapters.

F01=FtO Fan is regulated on 2 fixed speed based on the external temperature. If Tout<F22, speed is set to F20. If Tout>F22+F23, speed is set to F21

11.1.4 Fan speed regulation

Group1: CNd – Condenser Group2: FSR – Speed Control If enabled through F10 parameter, fan speed control is activated through one or more 0/10V analog output or PWM/PPM output (width/pulse modulation synchronous with the line) proportional to the request of pressure/temperature sensors. The output will drive an external inverter or phase-cutting device. Hereby we’ll talk about inverter only. The analog output “InverterFanCond1”, ..., “InverterFanCond4” are used to drive the inverter. The associated digital output “Inverter Cond1”, ..., “Inverter Cond4” are used to eventually switch ON and OFF the inverter. The number of analog output is equal to the number of condensers, if H11=NO (separated condensing circuits). Otherwise the only “AIFanCond1” output is used. It’s possible to define the minimum F11 and maximum F12 inverter speed in percentage; between these two values

is calculated the proportional action of the modulating output ad described in figure, for both cases of cooling and

heating unit.

In case of a PPM output, it has to be set up even the pulse duration F19, which has to be applied to the triac.

The setpoint for inverter regulation is the same as the one used for step regulation. The inverter output is activated when the requested power is greater or equal than the power obtained with the inverter at its minimum speed. The start speed is equal to the minimum speed if F14=0; otherwise through F14 the pulse time at start up is defined. During that time the inverter drives fans at their maximum speed.

11.1.5 Condenser probe fault

Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: COn – Cond probe fault

In case of fail on the probe “DischargePress C1”, ..., “DischargePress C4” for the condensing control, the alarm on

the condenser fans can change depending on the presence or not of the outside air temperature probe “Tout” (see

also Alarms – analog input 1,...,16 alarm). In case of fail on the condenser probe, through ACM it’s possible to set up the following modes: » ACM=OFF. Always OFF » ACM=ON_C. ON if compressor ON » ACM=Ftou. Connected to the outside temperature: in that case it’s also possible to fix a setpoint ACS and a

differential ACd. If the outside temperature is higher than the setpoint plus differential or the outside probe is not present or in error, then the fan will be forced to the maximum speed. If the outside temperature is lower or equal to the setpoint, then the fan will be forced to the 50% of the maximum speed.

11.2 Water condensing unit The condenser pump “Cond Fan1/Pump1” can be used in the same way as condensing fan.

11.3 High pressure prevention Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: PRE – Prevention

In order to prevent the high pressure alarm, a HP prevention limit is defined; when this limit is

reached, the capacity of the compressors on the affected circuit is reduced.

The following parameters are used:

HPE – Enable HP prevention

To enable the HP prevention feature.

HPo - High pressure prevention offset

It is used to calculate the starting point of the prevention procedure: it is subtracted from the HPS

high pressure alarm setpoint

Page 45/89

If the pressure measured by any of the Discharge Press C1, ..., Discharge Press C4 input exceeds

the HPS-HPo threshold, the high pressure alarm prevention procedure is activated

HPh - High pressure prevention hysteresis

HPt – End prevention delay

If the pressure stays below HPS-HPo-HPd for the HPt delay time, the high pressure prevention

procedure is stopped.

PPt - Pressure Decreasing Power Period

PPp - Pressure Decreasing Power %

Define the compressors’ capacity decreasing rate: when the high pressure prevention function is

started, the compressors’ capacity of the affected circuit is decreased by PPp percent every PPt

seconds until the minimum capacity is reached, without switching off all the compressors.

12 Water free-cooling

12.1 Overview Group1: EVA – Evaporator Group2: FRC – Freecooling The free-cooling regulation uses the favorable conditions of outside air temperature to contribute to the cooling water. It uses an additional coil (free-cooling coil) in which, through the free-cooling valve is deflected a certain amount of water returning from the plant if the outside air temperature conditions are favorable. The free-cooling coil is located inside the machine upstream of the condensing coil, and with that share control of condensing fans. The free-cooling management is active only in air / water units in cooling mode. NOTE. In case of multiple evaporators and condensers, the free-cooling is handled only on the first evaporator and condenser.

12.2 Conditions of activation and deactivation of the free-cooling

12.2.1 Activation

The conditions of free cooling activation are:

the free-cooling is enabled (parameter Fr0 other than NO) and the unit is an air/water machine in cooling mode,

the water circulating pump is operating;

the following condition which certifies the convenience of free-cooling is verified: TFC1 - Tout> = Fr1

are not verified alarm conditions described in the following paragraph.

12.2.2 Deactivation

The conditions of free cooling deactivation are:

the free-cooling is disabled (parameter Fr0 = NO), or the unit is not an air/water machine, or it is in heating mode;

the water circulating pump is not operating;

the free-cooling condition is no more active: TFC1 – Tout < Fr1 – 1,5°C

anti freeze heaters are active;

any of the following alarm conditions occurred:

12.3 Free-cooling valve management The control is based on temperature detected by the probe selected with Fr0 between the evaporator inlet probe “TIN - Tin Evaporator” (Fr0=Tin) or outlet probe “TO1 - Tout Evaporator1” (Fr0=Tout). The set point to control the valve corresponds to that of water decreased by the offset Fr4. The control is proportional with band Fr5.

The analog output for the free-cooling valve “FV1 - “FreecoolValve” follows the request. The digital output for the free-cooling valve “FV1 - Freecool Valve” is active at 100% and is not active at 0% of the request.

12.4 Fan management in free-cooling The fans are shared between the control of free-cooling and condensation. Priority is set through parameter Fr9. If Fr9=Cond, in the event of start of one or more compressors the priority is given to condensation control. Fans are controlled as described in “11 Condenser fans/pumps”. If Fr9=FrEE the priority is given to freecooling control. If Fr9=GREA (greatest) the priority is given to the greatest request. When there is not demand for condensation control (compressor off), or when priority is given to freecooling, the control of free-cooling fans is based on temperature detected by the probe selected with Fr0 between the evaporator inlet probe “TIN - Tin Evaporator” (Fr0=Tin) or outlet probe “TO1 - Tout Evaporator1” (Fr0=Tout). The set point to control the fans corresponds to that of water decreased by the offset Fr6. The control is proportional with band Fr7.

12.5 Compressors and free-cooling

12.5.1 Only free-cooling

Beyond the threshold of free-cooling activation, a second threshold Fr2 is managed for the outdoor temperature below which you can force the shutdown of the compressors because the conditions are so favorable to satisfy the cooling demand of the plant with the sole management of free-cooling. Therefore if the compressors are running and if the condition Tout <= Fr2 persists for a time equal to Fr3, then compressors are forced off and freecooling mode is activated. The freecooling mode end when Tout>Fr2+FrA

12.6 Anti freeze of the free-cooling coil We define an antifreeze threshold based on the value of outside air temperature for the free-cooling coil protection. If the outside air temperature "Tout" is below the threshold of antifreeze Fr8, an alarm is generated, the main circulation pump is turned on and the free-cooling valve is operated as follows: If the valve is of type 0-10V

with unit OFF it is open at 100% of its capacity,

with unit ON it is open at 10% of its capacity. If the valve is of type ON/OFF opening is always at 100%. The procedure stops with a fixed hysteresis of 1K.

13 Reversing valve Group1: rEV – Reversing valve Group2: CFG – Configuration The choice between heating and cooling is described in “Heat/cool selection” inside “User interface” chapter. According to that selection, the “Reverse Valve C1”, ..., “Reverse Valve C4” digital output, driving the reversing valve of each circuit, are opportunely controlled. The output working logic between Normally Close (N.C.) and Normally Open (N.O.) is defined at the physical output configuration phase. If polarity is set to “Open” (as by default) it means that relay is energized in heating mode. Times for cycle reversing are defined by the rE1 parameter (Changeover delay) that forces compressors OFF before cycle reversion. This time is calculates since the last compressor is OFF even when there is more than one circuit, in order to make the valves rotate all together on all circuits. This time is waited also after the valve reversion before turning ON compressors again. If it is equal to 0, compressors are not stopped and the reversing valve is immediately reversed.

13.1 Automatic change-over Comparing the outdoor temperature “Tout” with the change-over setpoint rE3 and differential rE4, the unit decides its way of working between heating (if under the setpoint) or cooling (beyond setpoint + differential). For outdoor temperature values within setpoint and setpoint + differential, the way of working is not changed automatically but can be changed by keyboard, digital input or supervisor. Beyond those limits is not possible to change it. Note that rE3 parameter disenable the automatic changeover if set to 0.

14 Defrost

14.1 Description On air cooled heat pumps (H9=Air), it is possible to activate the defrosting procedure of the outdoor heat exchanger in heating mode (evaporator). Defrost can be executed if enabled through d01, unit is in heating mode, at least one compressor is turned ON and the condensing probe (pressure or temperature) “DischargePress1”, ..., “DischargePress4” or the “Defrost” digital input is present. Defrost is signaled by turning ON the corresponding icon on display and can be executed in the following 2 ways. 1. Reversing the cycle of the involved circuit. In this case:

» cycle is reversed through a 4 ways valve; » the system cooling power is brought at its maximum; » the way of working of the involved fan is managed by d05 parameter (see “Fan management while

defrosting”). 2. If the outdoor temperature allows to do it (parameter d06 “Fan only defrost”), defrost can be performed only

turning OFF compressors and turning ON fans at their maximum speed. Defrost is prior to the compressors timers. Compressors timers are thus ignored while defrosting and compressors ON and OFF are immediate. But to avoid contemporaneous activations and to assure a gradual insertion of the cooling power only the minimum time between the activation of two compressors CT0 is respected. On multi circuit systems, circuits start defrosting when at least one has reached the start defrost condition. Those circuits who doesn’t have any need of defrosting (that is the stop defrost condition is verified) stop and wait the end of the defrost cycle.

14.2 Parameters for defrost control Group1: DEF – Defrost Group2: CFG – Configuration Std – Start/stop set Defrost is configured with the following parameters: d01 – Defrost enable Defrost enable d02 - Defrost type It allows to select the way of starting and stopping defrost among: » d02=SpEp. Start and stop on the basis of the value measured by the temperature or pressure probe

“DischargePress1”, …. “DischargePress4” used for controlling the outdoor heat exchanger. Defrost starts when temperature or pressure goes under a defined limit d09 for a cumulative time defined in d13 “Defrost start verifying time” (see the following figure). Defrost is stopped when temperature or pressure goes beyond a second limit d10 or if defrost probe is defect.

» d02=SpEt. As before but defrost stops only after the defrost maximum time d15 has elapsed. » d02=Comb. Start on pressure but with a confirmation of a value measured by a further temperature probe

“TComboDefrostC1”, ..., “TComboDefrostC4” located on the coils (combined defrost). Defrost can start only if the value measured by this probe is under the limit d11, combined defrost temperature start setpoint, after the defrost start verifying time d13 has elapsed. Otherwise unit goes on working normally as far as this limit is exceeded. Combined defrost stops when the temperature probe goes beyond a further limit d12, combined defrost temperature stop setpoint, but only if the pressure limit d10 is reached as well.

d03 - Defrost digital input configuration If the “Defrost” digital input is present, it can be used to start or to stop defrost. The input logic is defined at the physical input configuration phase. If polarity is set to “Close” (as by default) it means that input is active when open. Herby we refer to the input configured in this way. » d03=NO. Digital input not used. » d03=Strt. When the contact is open, it makes defrost start. When the contact is closed, the digital input is

ignored and defrost starts or stops according to the way selected with d02. » d03=End. When the contact is open, it makes defrost stop. When the contact is closed, the digital input is

ignored and defrost starts or stops according to the way selected with d02. » d03=StEn. The digital input is used for both starting defrost (when it toggles from close to open) and stopping

defrost (when it toggles from open to close). NOTE. If the stop defrost condition is on the basis of the value measured by the temperature or pressure probe, starting defrost from digital input is possible only if the stop condition is not already verified. d04 - Heaters management while defrosting It states if heaters have to be activated (d04=YES) while defrosting to reduce the cold blow effect. d05 - Fans management while defrosting It defines the way fans on external heat exchanger are managed while defrosting. The following choices are available: » d05=OFF. Fans are always OFF » d05=EqUA. Fans are managed as in cooling mode » d05=ONdr. Fans are OFF until the stop defrost condition; after that fan are turned ON at their maximum speed

for the d20 time, waiting time after defrosting (dripping time). After this time has elapsed, the cycle goes back to the heating mode and to its normal fans management.

Note: If the unit is Fan Defrost mode (see d06 parameter), fan management as it is here described is disabled. d06 - Defrost with compressors OFF (Fan only defrost) This function allows to take advantage of the outdoor temperature “Tout” when it is adequate to defrost the outdoor coil. In this mode, the unit turns OFF compressors and drives fans at their maximum speed, without reversing cycle. Defrost start and stop conditions and the support heaters management stay unchanged, as described above. If d06=0, the function is disabled. Otherwise it represents the minimum outdoor temperature to be reached for enabling the function. Fan defrost will be then executed when the start defrost condition is verified. d07 – Enable low pressure alarm during defrost It allows you to disable (d07=NO) the low pressure switch control during all the defrost cycle. Group1: DEF – Defrost Group2: TIM – Times d13 - Defrost start verifying time

It sets the time during which the condensing temperature/pressure must stay under the defrost start setpoint d09, together with compressors ON, to activate defrost. Counting is stopped but it is not reset when temperature/pressure goes beyond that limit d09. Counter is reset at power ON or when the defrost cycle starts. d14 - Defrost minimum time If this time has not elapsed, defrost goes on even if the stop defrost condition is already reached. It is ignored in case of defrost from digital input. d15 - Defrost maximum time If the time ended defrost is enabled (d02=spEt), it sets the defrost endurance. Otherwise it represents its maximum endurance, beyond which defrost is stopped and the A13 warning occurs. This warning is reset after a correct defrost cycle. d16 - Minimum time between 2 defrost cycles of the same circuit It is the minimum delay between the end of one defrost cycle and the start of the following one. If it is not higher than d13, defrost start verifying time, it is ignored. It is ignored also in case of defrost from digital input. d20 - Waiting time after defrosting At the end of the defrost cycle, compressor is stopped for all this time if it is higher than the double of the changeover delay rE1 (see the following figure); otherwise the last one is valid. The 4 ways valve is reversed anyhow after the changeover delay; this delay allows pressures equalization after the defrost cycle and an eventual dripping of the outdoor heat exchanger (see d05 for fans management during this phase).

15 Alarms Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: CFG – Configuration

15.1 Alarm actions When an alarm happens generally the following actions are executed. » Buzzer activation, if present and enabled and if required by the active alarm (see Alarms table). The BUZ

parameter sets the buzzer activation time in case of alarm; 0 is always OFF, 1..14 the buzzer is automatically muted after the related value in minutes, 15 is always ON.

» Alarm or warning relay activation (if present) according to what is required by the active alarm (see Alarms table).

Through the AdL parameter you define the relay activation delay. Through AOF you set the alarm relay status in case of alarms with unit on OFF state.

The relay working logic between Normally Close (N.C.) and Normally Open (N.O.) is defined at the physical output configuration phase. If polarity is set to “Open” (as by default) it means that relay is energized in case of alarm.

» Display of the alarm icon and alarm code on the LED display controllers, together with the time since its activation.

» Display of the active alarms list and of the related description on the LCD controllers. For a more detailed description of the user interface in case of alarms, see “3 - User interface”.

15.2 Reset types Alarms can be of manual, automatic or semi-automatic reset type. » If they are of manual reset type, they requires an acknowledgement to be reset; the user must press the ESC

key for 3 seconds within the alarm screens to reset the alarm, if the alarm condition doesn’t occur anymore. Or he can reset it from menu (Menu: ALA – Alarms, Submenu: RAL – alarm Reset), see “3 - User interface”.

» If they are of automatic reset type, the alarm is reset as soon as the alarm condition disappear. The display icon stays active till it is manually reset (see the point above).

» There are alarms with automatic reset but that becomes of manual reset type after a configurable amount of activations: they are the so called semi-automatic alarms.

Buzzer is muted pressing any key even if the alarm condition is still present and stays muted till a new alarm occurs.

15.3 Alarm table Each alarm is characterized by: » enable from configurator, see “APPENDIX – Configurator usage” at the end of the manual, or from a parameter,

if present; » code: acronym to identify the alarm and that is showed on the display; » description to display on a LCD display; » reset type (-1=automatic, 0=manual, >0=number of occurrences for semi-automatic alarms); » if semi-automatic alarms, the period for counting alarm occurrences; if during this time the alarm exceeds its

maximum number of occurrences, it becomes a manual reset alarm; » delay from the start-up of the related element and delay in normal functioning; » if active even when the unit is OFF; » action on the alarm relay, warning relay and buzzer; » action on the single element of the unit, on all the elements of the same circuit (C), or of the whole unit (S); as described in the following table.

15.4 Main alarms description Here below are listed only the alarms requiring some detail not described in the previous part of the manual. A03 - Evaporator flow switch alarm Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: FLO– Flow It is generated by the “Flow Evaporator” digital input. In case of alarm: » if there is the second pump “Evap Pump2”, the second pump operating warning A08 will be activated before the

flow switch alarm A03; » otherwise, all the compressors and all the other elements will be immediately switched OFF, ignoring their

protection times. The alarm is delayed of AF1 seconds from the pump start to wait for the water flow to reach its steady value. It is delayed also in normal functioning of AF2 seconds to filter temporary flow changes or air bubble in the water circuit. The reset type is configurable through AFr among: » manual: all the outputs are OFF, including the pump. After reset, if the alarm is still active, the alarm is ignored

(but always shown on display) till its delay time from start-up is elapsed to give the chance to the unit to regularly start.

» automatic: all the outputs are OFF, excluding the pump which tries to start every AF3 seconds; the alarm is ignored till its delay time from start-up is elapsed.

» semi-automatic: the pump tries to start every AF3 seconds for AFr number of times, ignoring the alarm during its delay at start up; exceeded the attempts of starting the pump, the alarm becomes manually resettable only.

A04 – Condenser flow alarm Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: FLO– Flow See Evaporator flow switch alarm. Analog input 1, ..., 16 alarms Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: COn – Cond probe fault This alarm is delayed by 10 seconds both in power up and normal functioning. It is detected only if the probe is used and causes the deactivation of all the functions managed by that probe.

If the fault probe is the one used for condensing control, the alarm effect on the condenser fans is set by ACM

parameter and can change if there’s a probe for the outside air temperature (see “9 - Condenser fans/pumps”)

High pressure alarm Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: HP – HP The high pressure alarm can be caused both from a pressure switch (digital input “HP”, “HP Circuit1”,...,”HP Circuit 4”) and from a transducer/temperature probe (analog input “DischargePress C1”,...,” DischargePress C4”). General alarm AH0 is generated only by “HP” digital input or when all the circuits are in alarm. Alarm from analog input must be enabled by AHE and is revealed even if compressors are OFF. If you are using a transducer, you have to set a setpoint AHS and a AHd differential. Compressors belonging to the circuit in alarm are immediately switched OFF without waiting for any safety timer. Reset type is manual.

Low pressure alarm Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: LP – LP The high pressure alarm can be caused both from a pressure switch (digital input “LP”, “LP Circuit1”,...,”LP Circuit 4”) and from a transducer/temperature probe (analog input “SuctionPress C1”,...,” SuctionPress C4”). General alarm AL0 is generated only by “LP” digital input or when all the circuits are in alarm. Reset type is defined through ALr. By default it is semi automatic: if the alarm happens 3 times within 90 minutes, from automatic becomes manual.

According to AL2 value, it can be detected even when compressors are OFF (AL2=YES) or only when compressors are ON (AL2=NO). In this case, alarm is delayed at compressors start up of AL1 seconds. In normal functioning is immediate. Alarm from analog input must be enabled by ALE. If you are using a transducer, you have to set a setpoint ALt and a differential ALd. Compressors belonging to the circuit in alarm are immediately switched OFF without waiting for any safety timer. NOTE. When the transducers on the low pressure side "SuctionPress Cx" are not present, the transducers "DischargePress Cx" pass on the low pressure side of the circuit in case of heat pumps with gas changeover in heating mode. Delta pressure Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: DHL – Delta Pressure For each circuit the difference between supply pressure and gas suction pressure is checked. If the this difference is below the threshold DEP, an alarm that disable the circuit is set. Input used: dP1 - Discharge Pressure C1 SP1 – Suction Pressure C1 dP2 - Discharge Pressure C2 SP2 – Suction Pressure C2 dP3 - Discharge Pressure C3 SP3 – Suction Pressure C3 dP4 - Discharge Pressure C4 SP5 – Suction Pressure C4 If dP1-SP1<=DEP then set alarm dP1 If dP1-SP1>=DEP+0,3 then reset alarm. If dP2-SP2<=DEP then set alarm dP2 If dP2-SP2>=DEP+0,3 alarm reset If dP3-SP3<=DEP then set alarm dP3 If dP3-SP3>=DEP+0,3 then reset alarm. If dP4-SP4<=DEP then set alarm dP4 If dP4-SP4>=DEP+0,3 then reset alarm. High Discharge Temperature Group1: ALA – Alarms Group2: DHT – High Discharge T For each circuit the gas discharge temperature is checked. If it is above the threshold M193, an alarm that disable the circuit is set. Input used: dT1 - Discharge Temperature C1 dT2 - Discharge Temperature C2 dT3 - Discharge Temperature C3 dT4 - Discharge Temperature C4 If dT1>=M193 set alarm dT1 If dT1<=M193-HTd reset alarm. If dT2>=M193 set alarm dT2 If dT2<=M193-HTd reset alarm. If dT3>=M193 set alarm dT3 If dT3<=M193-HTd reset alarm.

19 APPENDIX A – Configurator usage You can modify the management of parameters and alarms using the software configurator

“Interface_Chiller_HP.xls”. You also need a USB-to-485 adapter to connect your PC to the RS485 port of a MCX.

19.1 Adapter installation 1) Connect the USBto485 adapter to your PC and follow the on-line instructions using the drivers provided with

the converter. 2) After installation is completed, look at the COM port where the USBto485 adapter is installed (COM10 in figure)

3) Modify the NewApp.bat file, that is a batch file provided together with the application software to compile and to

upload the modified software into the MCX, in order to make it use the COM port where the adapter is installed:

.....

nupload -com10 main.cpp.o

.....

19.2 Guide for application software modification To modify the application software: 1) Open the software configurator “Interface_Chiller_HP.xls”. 2) Go to the “Generate” tab and select the desired MCX model and language. 3) Make the changes you want entering into the appropriate tab.

It is possible to change the following items: » navigation menu, from the “Main_Menu” tab. » parameters, from “Parameters” and “Parameters_x_Model” tabs, » alarms, from the “Alarms” tab, » input and output configuration, from “Digital_Input”, “Digital_Output”, “Analog_Input”, “Analog_Output” tabs. For details on how to make changes refer to the next chapters, related to each single tab.

4) Go to the “Generate” tab and press the “Generate” button. In this way you generate a new version of “*.c” source files related to parameters and alarms

5) Run the “NewApp.bat” batch file, with the MCX controller powered ON and connected through the USBto485 converter. You will see a DOS window with information on compiling and uploading status. At the end you should see “Upload complete” Now the changes are active.

19.3 “Parameters” tab From the “Parameters” tab, you can change the following items for each parameter: » identification code shown on the LED display (“Code” column), » description shown on LCD display.

Page 77: Chiller and Heat Pump User Manual Multi Compressors Multi ...osakasolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/MU_EN... · Chiller and Heat Pump User Manual Multi Compressors Multi Circuits

Chiller and Heat Pump User Manual

Page 77/89

NOTE. To change the description do not change the “Current Description” column that is read only (showing the description in the language selected inside the “Generate” tab), but the one starting with the suffix of the desired language and located at the right side of the “Parameters” tab, from “S” column on; i.e. “EN Description” for English language.

» minimum, maximum, or default value (“Min”, “Max”, “Default” columns), » rules to make it visible or not, depending on the value of other parameters (“Visibility” column), » password level (“Level” column), » mnemonic values related to each value that the parameter can assume (“Text Values” column), » it is also possible to make the parameter disappear from the user interface adding a “K” in the “K” column.

19.4 “Alarms” tab In the “Alarms” tab, for each alarm you can change: » identification code showed on the LED display (“Code” column), » description (see the Note above), » alarm enable (“Enable” column) » reset type (“Reset type” column). -1=automatic reset, 0=manual reset, >0 = number of occurrences of the alarm

before its reset types changes from manual to automatic.. » the period for counting alarm occurrences in case of semi-automatic alarms (“Semiautomatic Period” column). If

during this time the alarm exceeds its maximum number of occurrences defined in the previous column “Reset Type”, the alarm reset type changes from automatic to manual.

» delay at start-up of the related element (“Startup delay” column) and delay in normal functioning (“Steady delay” column),

» if active even when the unit is OFF (“Active with unit OFF” column), » action on the alarm and warning relay (“Alarm relay”, “Warning relay” columns), » action on the elements of the unit (“Compressors“, “Fan or Pump Evap.”, “Fan or Pump Cond.”, Heaters”

columns): » “ON”: the element is forced to ON » “OFF”: the element is forced to OFF » “-“: the element is left in its previous status

» NOTE. From the configurator it is not possible to change the action on the elements to ON. All the other changes are allowed.

» in the “Circuit or System” column, if the action is on the single element, on all the elements of the same circuit (C), or of the whole unit (S).

19.5 “Parameters_x_Model” tab This tab allows you to give different “K” attribute, minimum, maximum and default values to parameters depending on the MCX model. In this tab you can add all parameters having different values according to the hardware where the software is running on. If a parameter is present in this tab, when you select the MCX model from the “Generate” tab through the drop down menu, all the values of that parameter will be automatically copied from the “Parameters_x_Model” tab to the “Parameters” tab. These will be the new current values. NOTE. The format of the copied parameters inside the “Params” tab is changed using the bold and green colour format. The purpose is to underline that eventual further changes to these parameters should be done inside the “Parameters_x_Model” tab. In fact, if the change would be done directly on “Parameters” tab, it could be lost when selecting a new MCX model.

19.6 I/O configuration tabs “Digital_Input”, “Digital_Output”, “Analog_Input”, “Analog_Output” tabs allows you to assign a new function to each MCX input and output. Inside the “Application Function” columns there’s the list of all the available functions. You can change their code and description that will be shown on MCX display during the I/O configuration phase from user interface. From the “Default setup” columns you can change: » digital input and output polarity, that is if they are normally open ore close (“Polarity” column).

Polarity=Close for a digital input means that it is not active when it is closed. For a digital output it means that the relay is energized when the output is not active.

» type, among the available ones, according to the selected MCX model (“Type” column), » analog input range of working (“Min” and “Max” columns).

For temperature probes (NTC and PT1000) it identifies the values outside of which an analog input alarm is generated. For active probes it states the measured value at the input end of scale (i.e. for a pressure probe ranging from 0 to 30 bar, you have to set Min=0 and Max=30,0). Note the decimal point.

» input/output function. The function is selected among those listed inside the “Application Function” column. » Delta. Only for active probes. It is the percentage of the input signal range to be added to the minimum input

signal and to be subtracted to the maximum input signal to define the real working range of the probe. » Error. States if an error is generated when the input signal is outside its working range.

E.g. Example of “Delta” and “Error” fields

Type Function Min Max Delta (%) Error

Analog Input 3 0-5 V DischargePress1 0 30,0 10,0 YES

means that AI3 is of 0/5V type and it is used for condensing regulation. As 10% (“Delta” value) of (5-0)V is 0.5V, it measures 0 bar at 0.5V and 30bar at 4.5V. Outside this range an alarm is generated.

Defines the time in seconds , during which the compressor is forced to remain at step 2, 3 o 4. M00 – Special management step1 Enables the special management of step 1. This defines that the compressor cannot remain at the minimum capacity longer than Mt1 time. When Mt1 expires, the compressor is forced to step 2. Mt1 – Max time at step1 It is the maximum time that the compressor can remain at the minimum capacity. It is active only if M00=YES. Sliding Valve M77 – Balanced power distribution If M77=NO (0), it is preferred to get a compressor at 100% capacity before activating another one (compressor saturation). Note that if the control algorithm requires the simultaneous departure of more than one compressor, is ensured the attainment of the request and then all the required compressors are simultaneously turned on (always respecting the compressors activation delays). If M77=YES (1) the power is proportionally distributed among the compressors, always respecting the compressors activation delays (balanced distribution). M199 – Minimum power Minimum operating capacity of the compressor M56 – Valve opening time Time that the capacity regulation valve takes to move from the minimum to the maximum capacity position M57 – Valve closing time Time that the capacity regulation valve takes to move from the maximum to the minimum capacity position M53 – Minimum time UP impulse Impulse duration of the valve command to increase the compressor capacity M55 – OFF time between UP impulses OFF time between 2 impulses of the valve command to increase the compressor capacity M244 – Minimum time DOWN impulse Impulse duration of the valve command to decrease the compressor capacity M246 – OFF time between DOWN impulses OFF time between 2 impulses of the valve command to decrease the compressor capacity T50 - % limit for max open/close To be set at 1. When the increasing valve arrives to the position corresponding to the 100% capacity decreased of T50%, the valve is positioned as the 100% of the capacity has been required. At the same way during the decreasing, when the valve arrives to the position corresponding to T50%, the valve is positioned as the 0% of the capacity has been required. T51 – Valve control type Defines how to control the sliding valve. If T51=StD (0), the valve is not controlled using pulses, but continuously. If T51=PWM (1), the valve is controlled using impulses.

C8 – Compressor8 C8U1 – Comp8 Unloader1/Dec, C8U2 - Comp1 Unloader2/Inc, C8U3 – Comp8 Unloader3, C8U4 – Comp8 Unloader4 It is assumed that the capacity of each compressor is equally distributed between the steps (H7+1). So based on the number of the defined unloaders you get the capacity of a single step NOTE It is assumed that all the compressors are equal. Following, for convenience, only the compressor 1 will be mentioned. Ex: If H7=3 (3 unloaders), steps are 4 with capacity of 100/4=25% each The first compressor starts when is required a capacity greater or equal to the minimum one. The 4 steps for each compressors are obtained as following:

C1 C1U1 C1U2 C1U3

1° step (start): 25% ON ON OFF OFF

2° step: 50% ON OFF ON OFF

3° step: 75% ON OFF OFF ON

maximum power: 100% ON OFF OFF OFF

When the compressor is switched on the output C1 and C1U1 are activated, bringing the compressor to the minimum capacity. The delay among the step activation is set with T1, T2, T3, T4 parameters. They are valid only if greater than C06 otherwise C06 overwrite them. If the special management of step 1 is activated (M00=YES), then when the time set with Mt1 expires, the compressor is forced to step 2.

20.1.3 STEPLESS

Set M14=SCW, CS0=LESS Digital Output used: C1 - Compressor1 C1U1 - Comp1 Unloader1/Dec C1U2 - Comp1 Unloader2/Inc C2 – Compressor2 C2U1 – Comp2 Unloader1/Dec C2U2 – Comp2 Unloader2/Inc C3 – Compressor3 C3U1 – Comp3 Unloader1/Dec C3U2 – Comp3 Unloader2/Inc C4 – Compressor4 C4U1 – Comp4 Unloader1/Dec C4U2 – Comp4 Unloader2/Inc The first compressor starts when a capacity greater or equal to the minimum one is required. NOTE following, for convenience, only the compressor 1 is mentioned When the compressor is switched on, the C1 and C1U1 output are activated, bringing the compressor to the minimum capacity M199 The compressor remains at the minimum capacity for the T1 time. Capacity increase When the increase capacity output C1U2 is activated continuously (if T51=STD) or using the pulses (T51=PWM), the valve is moved to the required capacity. In any case the total activation time of the valve is calculated based on the excursion time M56 and on the required capacity. When the valve arrives at 100%, the increase capacity output C1U2 is kept active.

n01 – MCX network disable Disable the modular chiller management. If n01=YES (1) the network management is disabled. n02 – Number of slaves nodes Define the number of slave units. To manage a unit made of 1 master and 2 slaves, set n02=2. n03 – Auto master select Enable the auto-master selection feature. If the master unit is no more available, a slave will become the new master, if possible n05 – Power distribution enable The power is assigned to the nodes with the logic of saturation. So long as 100% of power is not allocated to a node, the next node is not activated. However, if n05 = YES, the proportion of power allocated to a node having compressors that are not free to start is redistributed to the free compressors of another node. n06 – Node rotation enable Enables rotation of the nodes on the basis of total hours of operation of the compressors of each node. The first node to start is the one that has worked less. Note. It 'also active the function set with the parameter CT5 (see "6.3 Timing of the compressors") but related also to the nodes and not only to the compressors. After the time CT5, the working node is turned off, although it should continue to operate, and is replaced by the node with the minimum hours of operation which was previously off. n07 - Backup node offset The backup nodes are involved in succession as the temperature setting on the master is away from the threshold, identified by set point + differential. The first node is activated if the threshold is exceeded of n07 for the time n08. To activate the second node is added again n07 and so on for the others. n08 – Time to enable n07 Time delay to enable the backup node n09 - Number of backup units The backup nodes are activated in case of alarm of another node or to support the existing nodes (see n07). A backup node is highlighted by BKP written at the top left of the display and is excluded from the algorithm of power allocation. n10 - Evap. in common to all nodes Use this configuration if there is only one evaporator for all the nodes. If n10 = YES, the “Evaporator 1 ice alarm” will stop all the nodes.

If n10 = NO, each node is in effect a complete chiller unit and is supposed that each node has its own pump. The management of the pump is normally defined on each node by parameter P01 - Working mode of the pump or fan (see "10 pumps / fan evaporator). To the usual functions you add the one set with P01=Sys. If P01 = SyS, the pump on the master is always on; the pump on the slave is activated if any of its compressors is activated. n11 - Pump. in common to all nodes If set to 1, the “Evaporator flow switch alarm” and the “General pumps alarm” will stop all the nodes

21.3 General features The system consists of multiple MCX controllers connected in a Canbus network. Each MCX keeps control of the machine which is connected to. One of the MCX behaves as main controller (master) and then sets the capacity required to the compressors of the whole system on the basis of the selected regulation algorithm. The requirements to be a master are CAN address 1 and the connection of the regulation probe and of the water pump. The Can address of the slave nodes must start from 2 without gaps.

21.4 “Automaster” Function A master-slave system can be configured for a single machine or a multiple machine (modular chiller). A Single machine master-slave can be configured with the follow settings: - master fixed (n03=0) at Can ID 1 - one evaporator (n10 = 1) - one pump (n11 = 1) This configuration can be used for managing more than 8 compressors. With this configuration if the master is off line or the alarms “Evaporator flow switch, “General pumps alarm” or “Evaporator ice alarm” are active, the slaves will stop. A multiple machine master-slave can be configured with the following settings: - master automatically assigned (n03=1) to the first free working controller - multiple evaporators (n10 = 0) - multiple pumps (n11 = 0) This configuration can be used for application with a high service reliability so if the master node is off line or the evaporator pump is in alarm, the first available slave node will automatically become the new master. To use these configuration all the controllers must drive an evaporator pump and have a regulation probe. The slave nodes activate their own pump only when their compressors are required to start.

21.5 Parameters synchronization Some parameters can be set only on the master and then automatically be sent to all the slaves. These parameters are marked by a “1” in the column “Broadcast” of the software configurator.

With the left and right key is possible to change the unit shown. These feature will show a “R” character in the field

“Node status” when is shown the values of a remote control (eg. RS2 identifies that is currently

displayed the slave number 2).

It is possible to turn ON all the units of the network by menu Start -> Network -> System ON. Similarly it is possible to turn OFF all the units of the network by menu Start -> Network -> System OFF.
