FUNCTION

Key the values you wish to read/write in the connected compressors into DB100. The
compressors must be keyed in in succession 1-2-3-4-5 etc. and there must not be any
gaps (see the section EXAMPLE OF KEYING IN IN DB100).
Each compressor has its own DB (DB70 DB83), where the numbers of the values you
wish to read/write are keyed in (in HEX format, see INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMSAB
II). Furthermore the values you wish to transfer to the compressors must be keyed in.
The following restrictions must be noticed: Maximum 14 compressors
Maximum 29 reading points
per compressor
Maximum 10 writing points
per compressor

COMPRESSOR SPECIFIC DBS

DB70 belongs to compressor 1

DB71 belongs to compressor 2
DB72 belongs to compressor 3
DB73 belongs to compressor 4
DB83 belongs to compressor 14

DBW100, reply from COMSAB (decimal figures, according to table in the COMSAB
manual most of the values are in 1/10).
DBW156, do.

In a few words this means that all replies to DBW2 are returned as replies from
COMSAB in DBW100. Questions in DBW4 are returned as replies from COMSAB in
DBW102 etc.

In a few words this means that the point number you wish to write to must be keyed in in
DBW200 and the points nskevrdi (desired/wanted value) is keyed in in DBW300,
DBW202 belongs to DBW302 etc.

SET-UP OF NUMBER OF COMPRESSORS AND NUMBER OF

READING/WRITING POINTS KEYING IN IN DB100

DBW2 :
DBW62 :

Decimal figure 10 (read 10 points in compressor 1)

Decimal figure 3 (write 3 points in compressor 1)

DBW4

Decimal figure 12 (read 12 points in compressor 2)

DBW64 :

Decimal figure 2 (write 2 points in compressor 2)

Etc.
DBW2 DBW28 is reading pointer amount for compressor 1 14
DBW62 DBW88 is writing point amount for compressor 1 14
If a compressor has not been connected to the system you only need to key in 0 (zero)
in the DBW belonging to this one.
4.1

Example for compressor 2

Number of values to be read must be keyed in in DBW4 and number of values to be

written must be keyed in in DBW64.
Read 5 values and write 2 values in compressor 2:
In DBW4 decimal figure 5 must be keyed in and in DBW64 decimal figure 2 must be
keyed in.
4.2

Example for compressor 4

Number of values to be read must be keyed in in DBW8 and number of values to be

written must be keyed in in DBW68.

Read 4 values in compressor 4:

In DBW8 decimal figure 4 must be keyed in and in DBW68 decimal figure 0 (zero) must
be keyed in.

Key hex 2622 in into DBW2 where 26 indicates that it is

compressor 7 and 22 indicates oil temperature.

In DBW100 the value of the oil temperature can be read

(in 1/10C).
In DBW102 the value of the suction temperature can be
read (in 1/10C).

Example for compressor 3

Wants to write:
1. suction pressure set point no. 1 (hex 2F, equivalent to point no. 47 from the table of
writing points).
2. suction pressure set point no. 2 (hex 30, equivalent to point no. 48 from the table of
writing points).
For COMSAB
DB72 for compressor 3:

Key hex 222F into DBW200 where 22 indicates that it is

compressor 3 and 2F indicates set point no. 1.
Key hex 2230 into DBW202 for set point 2.
Key the wanted value for suction pressure set point no. 1
(in 1/10C) into DBW300
Key the wanted value for suction pressure set point no. 2
(in 1/10C) into DBW302
For instance decimal figure 234 is keyed in for the value
23.4C.

The values from DBW300 and DBW302 are transferred to compressor 3 through the
COMSAB.
