2 SYSTEM HARDWARE
This chapter describes the essential parts of the system and any accessories together with their connection and
functions.
2.1 I/O cards

The pCO* controller family consists of three boards that differ in the number of inputs and outputs and are referred
to as “Small”, “Medium” and “Large”.
All the boards are installed in a closed plastic container and are fitted with removable terminals.
This software version requires Small, Medium or Large boards to be used in this system, in accordance with the
configuration requirements.
A panel mounted terminal with a 4x20 LCD display is provided to connect the unit. The terminal has 6 keys to be
used on the unit, in remote control and to be shared with other units on the network.
Besides the boards and terminal, which are essential components, the system includes a few accessories, such as:
• programming key;
• various boards for serial connections;
• Drivers for electronic thermostatic valves.
In some cases it is useful, if not necessary, to use suitable T-connectors in order to facilitate the connection between
the boards and the terminal.
2.1.1 Small, Medium and Large Boards

The system may have a Small, Medium or Large board.
The Small board has 6 analogue inputs, 4 of which are universal and 2 passive, 8 digital inputs, 4 analogue outputs
and 8 digital outputs.
The Medium board has 8 analogue inputs, 6 of which are universal and 2 passive, 14 digital inputs, 4 analogue
outputs and 13 digital outputs.
The Large board has 10 analogue inputs, 6 of which are universal and 4 passive, 18 digital inputs, 6 analogue
outputs and 18 digital outputs.
A “Large” board is shown in the figure below, with the intent of giving a picture of the component. The smaller
“Medium” and “Small” cards differ from the “Large” in the number of inputs and outputs, the “Small” being also
shorter in length.
For more information and details about the features, connections, programming and other on the pCO boards refer
to the manual provided by the manufacturer.

2.2.2 pGD3
pGD3 is a 256-colour Touch Screen LCD graphic display with 320x240 pixel resolution, CCFL-backlighting and 7-
keys.
A user interface can be installed on board the unit or remotely (in this case, set up to be wall-mounted). pGD3
display is not available for inverter-driven units (Datatech+).
The description of the key functions is the same as that of pGD0 with the addition of the key, which is used to
switch the unit ON/OFF.
Besides all the menus in common with the pGD0 display (described below), the pGD3 display has an additional
menu called “Display Configuration”, which appears when the Up arrow+Down arrow+Enter keys are pressed
simultaneously.
The “Display Configuration” menu is used to select the 3 main configuration categories of the display, which are:
• Screen Settings: Screen-related settings;
• Network Configuration: RS485 network-related settings;
• General Options: Various settings.
Screen Settings Menu

The possible options are:
• Contrast: Used to set the contrast of the display (from 0 to 100, default: 50).
• Normal Brightness After: Used to set the time that must elapse after the touch screen or a button is last pressed,
for the display to switch from high brightness to normal brightness. The setting ranges from 30 seconds (30 s) to 15
minutes (15 min), default: 1 min.
• Screen Saver Timeout: Used to set the time that must elapse after the touch screen or a button is last pressed, for
the display to switch OFF, after having switched to normal brightness. The setting ranges from 30 seconds (30 s) to
4 hours (4 hrs), default: 15 min.
• Calibrate Touch Screen: The touch screen can be calibrated if misalignment is noted. The touch screen is aligned
by pressing the precise centre of the crosses displayed in sequence. The message: "Done: touch the screen to
ESC" indicates successful operation. Contrarily, if the message "Bad: touch to ESC and repeat” appears and the
operation must be repeated.
Network Configuration Menu
• Terminal Address: Used to set the address of the terminal (from 1 to 32, default: 32). If the -- value is set (two
dashes are displayed), the terminal will communicate with the pCO board using Point-Point protocol (not P-LAN): the
“Baud Rate”, “Network Monitor” and “Setup I/O Board” fields disappear as they have no meaning;
• Baud Rate: Used to set the P-LAN communication baud rate. Possible values are 62500 (default) or 115200
(to be set only if all the devices on the network are configured for this speed). Please note that not all P-LAN devices
support the 115200 setting;
• Network Monitor: Used to display the network status visually indicating which devices are connected for each
address. Hereunder are the meanings of the symbols:

2.3 Hardware for Datatech+ only
For Datatech+ units the hardware shown on the previous chapter is used, with the addition of new components as
follows:
pCO* µPC
Power +
pGD0
Electronic
Expansion Valve
2.3.1 The µPC card
The µPC is a card dedicated to the execution of the control program for the management of a BLDC compressor
through the Power+ inverter. The program and the parameters are stored on a E2prom, the data is stored in the
event of power failure (without the need for a backup battery).
The program can be uploaded via PC or dedicated programming key.
The controller also allows connection to the serial bus and to all terminals of the pGD family.
The integrated driver for the management of electronic expansion valves with single-pole step motor ensures better
performance of the refrigeration circuit thanks to the PID control of superheat and full control of the working
conditions of the compressor (controlled via ModBus® serial communication).
Finally, the µPC can be connected to a terminal environment for the monitoring and control of parameters.
For a detailed description of the board, and its programming procedure see the specific manual attached to
the unit.
8
2.3.2 The Power+ driver
Power+ is designed to drive a permanent magnet (PM) brushless DC compressor / BLAC sensorless or
asynchronous induction motors. For the latter you can choose between vector or V/f control.
It is designed for panel mounting or with heat sink out of electrical switchboard. The configuration and programming,
as well as the start / stop and the reference speed, are managed by the pCO controller via RS485 serial link with
Modbus ® protocol.
For a detailed description of the drive and its programming procedure see the separate manual attached to
the unit.
2.3.3 Serial cards for Datatech+ operation
On pCO3 it is necessary to install a RS485 serial card (Carel code PCO100FD10); the card will be installed on the
Field Bus slot of the controller.
On the uPC Combo Drive it is needed to install an RS485 serial card (Carel code PCOS004850), which must be
installed on the J6 connector.
9
2.4 Serial cards for remote monitoring and assistance
When a serial board is installed, the unit can be connected to monitoring and remote assistance systems.
Various options are available depending on the required communication protocol.
• The RS485 serial board with PCOS004850 code enables communication with Carel and Modbus networks,
using Carel proprietary protocol or Modbus-Jbus protocol.
• The serial board with PCO10000F0 code (FTT10 interface) enables communication in LonWorks®
networks.
• The PCO1000BB0 board enables connection to RS485 BACnet™ networks.
• The RS232 serial board with PCO100MDM0 code enables the controller to connect to a modem for
standard PSTN telephone connections and GSM connection to send SMS messages.
• The pCO Web (PCO1000WB0) board enables connection to Ethernet networks with SNMP, http and
BACnet™ over IP protocol.
PCOS004850 PCO1000F0 PCO1000WB0 PCO100MDM0 BacNet™

RS485 serial board LonWorks® serial board pCO Web board serial board serial board
The serial boards must be inserted in the correct slot where an edge card connector is present.
The Serial Card door must be removed from the controller for these to be installed:
The serial board is installed by fitting it on the two plastic

supports that are an integral part of the pCO* controller
container.
10
Once the board has been inserted, the door must be
set back in place by aligning the exposed board
connector with the hole of the door itself.
11
2.5 TLAN network adapter
The pco100TLN0 TLAN adapter is used to expand the pCO* board capacity and connect it to devices, such as
drivers for electronic thermostatic valves, on the local network. A max of 5 devices can be connected. This
application allows two EVD400 drivers to be connected.
The TLAN network adapter must be inserted in the field

card slot. The various devices are connected in parallel.
12
2.6 Electronic expansion valve
The EVD000400 driver module controls the electronic expansion valves in a TLAN network, thereby allowing
precise suction superheat adjustment for more efficient and versatile operation of the cooling unit.
When an electronic expansion valve is used, besides the Driver and the valve itself, a temperature probe and a
pressure transducer are also required, both installed on the cooling side of the evaporator end part (on the
compressor suction piping). Refer to Figure 2-1 to better understand a typical system layout.

2.6.1 TLAN network setting
The EVD400 drivers communicate with the pCO* board via a TLAN proprietary local network. The Running-Stand-by
network can take up to five devices connected to the pCO* board. This application version allows a maximum of two
EVD400 drivers, thereby using address 1 and 2.
EVD4UI software is required to set the TLAN address of each driver correctly. The EVD400 driver must be
connected to the PC on which the relative programme is running via the CVSTDUTTLo converter.
Once the EVD4UI programme is launched, the serial address is set (or verified):

2.7 Integrated Humidifier
The pCO* boards control all the functions: from reading the humidifier parameters to controlling its devices via relays
(fill-up, drain, capacity). The humidifier values (current, conductivity, level) are not read directly but via an interface
board (PCOUMID200 or PCOUMID000).
The integrated humidifier is an immersed electrode type.

The key indicates the main components:
1. Supporting structure
2. Cylinder
3. Drain solenoid valve
4. 90° adjustable drain fitting (4a: straight fitti ng -
supplied as standard)
5. Fill-tank + conductivity metre
6. Fill-up solenoid valve
2.7.1 Integrated humidifier interface board

The PCOUMID200 interface board allows the base quantities of the CAREL KUE range OEM humidifiers (Level,
Supply water conductivity and TAM current consumption) to be interfaced with the pCO* board. The values read by
the relative probes are converted into signals for the inputs in the pCO* board.
The humidifier devices (water fill, water drain and power contactor) are controlled directly via the relays of the pCO*
boards.

2.8 Local network for pCO*
The P-LAN network allows the various elements that make the system communicate with each other via the
standard RS485 serial with a baud rate of 65.2 kbit/s, using the Carel Multimaster protocol.
The number of elements composing the system varies according to complexity; ranging from a basic configuration,
which consists of an I/O board and a unit management terminal, to a more complex configuration, which consists of
an I/O board, a local and remote terminal and other I/O boards for any other network units.
The boards are identified within the network via their P-LAN address.
The 6-key terminal and the pCO* boards are addressed via software, as described further on.
2
The boards on the P-LAN network are connected by means of two wires with a minimum section of 0.5 mm plus a
sheath or shield.
The connection must be made by connecting RxTx+ and RxTx- to the corresponding terminals of the various boards
(connector J11 on the pCO* board).
If the distance between the terminal and the pCO* board that powers it is less than 50 m, the terminal connection
can be direct via a 6-way telephone cable.
If the terminal is to be connected at a distance greater than 50 m but within 200 m, or if two terminals are to be
2
connected to the same I/O board, use three pairs of braided wires inside a shield with a minimum section of 0.5 mm
and T-switches as shown in the figure.
If the terminal is to be remote controlled at a distance greater than 200 m but within 500 m, the terminal must not be
powered by the pCO* board but separately.
The T-switch sets the three telephone connectors in parallel with the terminal board.

2.8.1 Addressing network elements

Each active network element is identified by its serial address. The I/O boards and the interface terminals are active
elements.
The address of the I/O and 6-key PGD0 terminal is assigned via a specific software procedure (see paragraph 3.2).
Hereunder are the addresses to be set on the boards and terminals:
Unit no. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
I/O board 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

terminal
address
If a single shared terminal is to be used for all the network units, this will be assigned address 32. If a maximum
network is to be configured, consisting of 16 units and 16 terminals, one of the following two options must be
selected:
• All private terminals (one for each unit)

• Limit the network to 15 units (address 32 will remain free for a shared terminal)
The main Menu mask on the terminals displays the address of the connected board in the lower right corner.

3 PROGRAMMING THE PCO*
Programming the boards involves the uploading of the application software.
The microprocessor requires at least the application files (flash1.bin, AIRCON*.iup, *.grt files), the bios.bin file and
the boot.bin file in the flash memory of the pCO* boards for it to work. The LCT and PVT files are required if the
variable log recording is also managed.
Normally, Carel inserts the latest official version of the bios.bin and boot.bin files in the pCO* boards.
Since Blue Box applications are tested and released with a specific version of the bios.bin and boot.bin files, it is
important for the files forming part of the "package" accompanying the application to always be loaded even though
the update of the boot file should not be required.
The boards can be programmed via the PCOS00AKY0 smartkey (pCO³) or with USB key (pCO5), or with a
computer using “pCO_manager” software.
When the key is used, the memory of the pCO* board is always completely overwritten (except for the BOOT file);
when pCO_manager is used, the various software components to be loaded can be selected.
Please refer to specific pCO* card manual for additional instructions relevant to the uploading of the software with
the key.
3.1 Bios and boot verification

The user may need to know the version of the bios and boot on the pCO* boards before loading an application.
Press the Alarm and Enter buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds and select SYSTEM INFORMATION to display the
hidden masks:
BOOT V 4.01 13/04/06

BIOS V 3.92 11/04/06
>2+2MB <
APP. CRC: __________
The currently installed boot and bios versions appear in the first and second rows. The physical memory appears in
the third row (for the application and log recording).
The information is also found in the Maintenance menu once the software is installed.
3.2 Setting the software address of the terminals and boards

The board software addressing procedure is not required when this is programmed via a key or with “WinLoad32”
and that which has been copied corresponds with the configuration to be entered.
The procedure must be followed when a board is to be programmed with an address that differs from that set by the
software.
3.2.1 Addressing the 6-key PGD terminal

The 6-key PGD terminal is addressed via software.
The terminal must be powered for the procedure to be activated, then press the Up Arrow, Down Arrow and
Confirmation Arrow simultaneously 5 seconds and the mask below will appear.
Display address
setting ... 17
I/O Board address: xx
Press the “confirmation arrow” for the cursor to move beneath the terminal addressing field.
Use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to modify the terminal address.
The terminal address in the figure is 17 (terminal of board no. 1).
After setting the terminal address correctly, press the Confirmation Arrow and the cursor will move to the address
selection field of the board associated with the terminal.
Use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to modify the board of which the terminal displays the parameters.
The board address in the figure is 1.
The addressing procedure of the 6-key PGD terminal is now complete. Press any key apart from the Confirmation
Arrow to exit the configuration phase, and Enter to access the configuration of the network terminals, which is
described in the following chapter.
19
3.2.2 pCO* boards addressing software
The pCO* board does not have the micro switches to set the P-LAN address. The address must be set by following
a particular procedure:
1. Disconnect the power to the pCO*;

2. Set up a terminal with the “0” address:
a. Press UP, DOWN, ENTER at the same time to enter the address change screen
b. Set the display address to “0” for the point-to point connection. Confirm with ENTER
3. Connect the terminal to the pCO*;

4. Disconnect any devices connected in P-LAN from the pCO* (e.g. the J11 connector);
5. Power the pCO* by pressing the Up Arrow and Alarm keys simultaneously
6. The following view appears after a few seconds:
7. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow to modify the address and then press Enter to confirm.
8. Set the pCO* card address according to requirements of the installation.
3.2.3 Procedure to assign the list of terminals for the pCO* boards on the network
This procedure enables the terminal/s set up on the network to display the parameters of the I/O boards present.
Network management provides the possibility of enabling a terminal to display the parameters of a specific board,
which is referred to as a private terminal, or boards, which is considered to be a shared terminal.
A pCO* board can communicate with a maximum of three terminals, of which only one can be configured as shared.
The other two must be configured as private.
The configuration procedure of the terminals in a network via 6-key terminals is a continuation of their assignment
procedure.
The previous paragraph describes the procedure to assign an address to the terminal, after which, Enter is pressed
to access the addressing procedure of the terminals on the network and the mask below appears.
Terminal config
Press ENTER
to continue
The following mask appears after having pressed Enter.

20
P:01 Adr Priv/Shared
Trm1 17 Pr
Trm2 None –
Trm3 None – Ok?N
This mask must be interpreted and used as follows:
P: Indicates the address of the connected board;

Adr: Indicates the column in which the addresses of the terminals must be selected;
Priv/Shared: Indicates the column in which the user selects whether the terminal will be private or shared;
Trm1-2-3; These are the terminals to be configured;
None; This is where the address of the terminal to be controlled is selected by means of the arrows.
Once the terminal address is selected, press the Confirmation Arrow or Enter, depending on
whether a 6-key or 15-key terminal is used, to move to the next field;
--; The fields in this column indicate private Pr or shared Sh for each addressed terminal. The
selection is made via the arrows and confirmed by pressing Enter;
Ok?N: After the selection has been completed and when the cursor is positioned under the letter N, use
the arrows to change it to Y and press Enter to confirm the configuration.
Press the Confirmation Arrow for the cursor to move to the field where the address of the first adr and trm1 terminal
is set.
Value 17 must be entered in order to maintain uniformity of both the addresses and that set previously in the terminal
address.
After having pressed the Confirmation Arrow for the terminal to be assigned address 17 and the I/O board to be
displayed at address 1, the cursor will move beneath the column in which the terminal features will be assigned.
Press the “confirmation arrow” for the cursor to move to the second row for a second terminal to be configured.
Since the software allows a number of units to be connected, Pr or Sh (i.e. board parameters displayed at address
1) can also be set from a shared terminal.
If no other terminals are to be set up, press the Confirmation Arrow to skip all the fields leaving them unchanged
(None and —) right through to the last field “Ok?No” where the Up Arrow or Down Arrow is used to change “No” to
“Yes” in order to confirm the selections made.
After having set Yes, press the Confirmation Arrow and the software will automatically exit the network terminal
configuration procedure.
The configuration procedure of the terminals in a network via a 1-15 key terminal is slightly different.
The command to enter the procedure is the same as that of the 6-key terminal, i.e. by pressing the Up Arrow, Down
Arrow and Enter simultaneously. The following mask will appear after five seconds:
Terminal Adr: 17
I/O Board Adr: 1
The address of the terminal set via the micro switches appears in the first row.
The address of the connected I/O board appears in the second row.
Having followed the address assignment procedure, the values that appear should be those shown in the figure
below.
After having confirmed by pressing Enter, the following mask appears.
Terminal config
Press ENTER
to continue
Here on, the procedure is the same as that for 6-key terminals.
3.2.4 Network error messages

During network operation, connection and communication problems may arise between components and network
alarm masks will appear on the terminal. See the Network troubleshooting paragraph to resolve these problems.
I/O Board xx faulty
21
This mask appears if a power board with the xx address is faulty, not connected to the network or if there are
communication problems.
NO LINK
This mask appears if a terminal does not receive network messages (synchronisation signals) for more than 10
seconds. This alarm is indicated by the green LED on the addressing board being OFF.
3.2.5 Network status

The network status can be monitored during operation. All terminals and connected power boards are displayed in a
specific mask with symbols, the position of which identifies their address.
The network status mask is accessed by pressing the same keys used to access the terminal addressing masks for
at least 10 seconds.
The following mask will appear:
NetSTAT 1- - - - - - 8
T: xx 9 - - - - - -16
Enter 17 - - - - - -24
To EXIT 25 - - - - 32
T: xx; This is the address of the active terminal

Enter to EXIT: press Enter to exit the network status mask
The - symbol in each row represents a useful address.

If the address has been assigned to a terminal, the ▀ symbol will appear instead of “-”. If it has been a assigned to a
power board, the “ ” symbol will appear.
Example 1:
1 − -- - - - 8
9 - - - - - - - - 16
17 ▀ ▀ - - - - - - 24
25 − − − − - - - ▀ 32
Two I/O boards with address 1 and 2, and two terminals with address 17 and 18 (presumably private) are present on
the network together with a shared terminal with address 32 (presumably shared).
22
3.2.6 Verification of network operation
There are 3 LEDs on the pCO* boards that indicate the network operating status as follows:

5 DESCRIPTION OF SOFTWARE OPERATION
5.1 General
This software is designed to manage Close Control units, used to air-condition a number of different environments
requiring precise temperature and humidity control.
Particular attention has been paid to the Energy Saving aspect and for this purpose, specific controls have been
included to make use of environmental conditions in favour of energy saving.
5.2 Direct expansion units (DE)

The units can be single or dual compressor models with air or water condensation.
Besides the standard set-up, the compressors can be combined with additional components for the following
controls:
- Temperature set-point compensation;
- “Constant Temperature” (CT);
- “Dual Cooling” (DC);
- “Water Free cooling” (FcW);
- “Air Free cooling” (FcA).
The functions of these controls are covered in the following paragraphs.

The remote condensing fans in air condensation units can be controlled directly by the controller in ON/OFF or
modulating (0-10V) mode, in pressure or temperature, with pre-ventilation during stand-by and 2-step control in the
case of one coil.
The compressors in water condensation units can be deactivated due to no water being present by means of a
specific digital input indication (usually given by a water flow switch), and then restarted when conditions allow this,
thereby preventing the compressors from being stopped due to high pressure.
5.3 Chilled water units (CW)

The units in this type of system can have a chilled water coil with floating (3P) or modulating (0-10V) valve control.
Besides the standard set-up, the chilled water coil can be combined with additional components for the following
controls:
- Summer/Winter CW (with external control and dual set-point, one for summer and one for winter).
- “Double Water coils” (DW).
- “Air Free cooling” (FcA).
The functions of these controls are covered in the following paragraphs.

If the controller is enabled, it can pilot a water chiller so as to duly correct the set-point in case of a particular load
demand.
Furthermore, a flow switch can indicate when no water is present in the cooling circuit and switch to a backup
cooling system, if available.
5.4 Post-heating
This function heats the air to be treated so as to meet the temperature set-point.
The post-heating function is controlled by step-controlled devices (e.g. electric heaters or hot water coil with an
ON/OFF servo controller) or with proportional control devices (e.g. 3-way floating water valve with 3-Point or 0-10V
modulating control).
5.5 Humidification
This function supplies water vapour to the air to be treated so as to meet the set relative humidity set-point
(expressed as a percentage).
Humidification can be obtained by means of an integrated immersed electrode humidifier or with ON/OFF or
modulating (0-10V) control in the case of an external humidifier.
26
5.6 Dehumidification
Dehumidification, i.e. cooling the air below dew point, reduces the relative humidity in the recirculation air.
This function can be controlled with the compressors (DE) or chilled water coil (CW), which can also operate below
the temperature set-point up to the limit beyond which the function is suspended.
The cooled air can then be post-heated with electric heaters or a hot water coil in proportion to the distance from the
set-point.
Furthermore, in order to enhance the dehumidification process, the controller can control the supply fan speed
(reducing it when dehumidification is requested) or lower the evaporation temperature (only with the electronic
thermostatic valve).
5.7 Controller operating principle

This paragraph briefly summarises the basic operating principles of the controller.
The main objective of the controller is to bring the temperature and relative humidity to the set-points via the cooling,
heating and humidification devices in the unit.
Besides the compressors, the chilled water coil, the hot water coil, the heaters and the humidifier, the controller will
also control the supply fan in ON/OFF or modulating (0-10V) mode via the relative operating modes and alarms.
Accessories/options can also be combined for better control of the operating conditions, which may be: dirty filters,
flood alarm, fire/smoke alarm, external and supply air dampers, condensate drain pump alarm, 5 programmable
digital outputs, remote exclusion of heater and humidifier operation, water flow switch control, limited automatic reset
of serious HP-LP alarms, remote variation of the temperature set-point, chiller set-point compensation, possibility of
entering the default backup values, etc.
These functions are described in the following paragraphs.
The units can be combined on the P-LAN network for Running/Stand-by or Distributed Control.
All parameters that are referred to (set-points, differentials, calibrations, delays, etc.) can be modified within the
relative masks.
27
6 SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS
6.1 Temperature control

The heating and cooling devices are controlled according to the temperature read by the ambient probe (or return).
This temperature is compared with the desired value (set-point) and the most suitable devices are activated
according to the difference.
The proportional band identifies the air-conditioner's adjustment range and separated heating and cooling values
can be set.
The dead zone detects the cut-off range of the devices around the set-point (this prevents oscillations).
The following diagram illustrates the behaviour of the heating and cooling devices. The start and end opening
parameters of the heating and cooling valves are separate and can be set at will in the 0-100% range of the
proportional band.

6.1.1 Direct expansion cabinets (DE)

The controller can control 1 or 2 compressors, which may be hermetic or with capacity control, on separate and
independent cooling circuits or on a single circuit (tandem configuration). In the case of two compressors, the cooling
proportional band is equally divided between the steps available.
Heating (or post-heating) is transferred to electric heater steps or a hot water coil. The electric heaters are controlled
in steps, up to a maximum of three using two outputs (the third step is controlled with binary logic, having heater
coils with the power of one twice the other). The heating band is divided by the no. of steps in equal parts.
The hot water coil valve can be of the ON/OFF type using the same digital outputs as of the electric heaters or with
0-10V modulating or 3-point floating control. The valve opening range in the last two cases increases linearly within
the 0 to 100% proportional band.
6.1.2 Chilled water cabinets (CW)

The temperature in chilled water cabinets is controlled via the valves of the water coils by means of proportional
adjustment with 0-10V or 3-point floating control.
The heating (or post-heating) devices are the same as those of the direct expansion cabinets and function in the
same way.
28
6.1.3 Chilled water cabinets (CW) with a single coil
A cabinet with a single water coil and control valve (3P floating or 0-10V control) can be set with logic switching from
cooling to heating and relative set-points by programming the controller appropriately and acting on digital input ID2:
summer set-point for cooling logic, winter set-point for heating logic. The coil must be supplied with cold water when
in cooling mode or hot water when in heating mode, depending on the selected logic.
6.1.4 Other temperature functions
6.1.4.1 High/low ambient temperature alarm and disabling dehumidification

This function allows the controller to detect the permanence of the ambient temperature (read by the control probe),
outside the set limits, triggering a non-serious alarm on the display. The restore differential is set to 1°C. The
high/low temperature status does not disable any output and is delayed upon unit start-up for the set time.
A value can be set in a specific mask to block dehumidification (if running) when the ambient temperature is too low.

6.1.4.2 Supply temperature limit

The user can control air that is too cold from entering the ambient during cold air-conditioning by installing an
optional probe on the air supply and enabling the pCO3 board input for the probe's presence enabling the supply
temperature limit.
The parameters that determine the function of this feature are basically a set-point and an air supply differential. The
"limit" of the cooling devices within the differential increases proportionally until it reaches the "total limit" at the
differential extreme. The devices are controlled as follows:
• The valves are closed progressively
• The single compressor is switched OFF when reaching the differential
• In the case of 2 compressors, one is switched OFF when reaching half the differential and the other when
reaching the differential
6.1.4.3 Proportional + Integral Control (P+I)

The software can manage "integral" control, in addition to that which is strictly proportional (proportional logic
intrinsically presents an error). Integral control not only adjusts cabinet operation in proportion to the temperature and
humidity offset with respect to the set-point but also for the entire time this difference persists.
The integral control parameter is "integral time", which indicates the necessary time before the proportional action is
doubled: e.g. if the integral time is set to 600 seconds, the set-point to 22°C, the differential to 2 °C and the air return
to 23°C, the proportional control provides an outpu t equivalent to 50% of the cooling capacity and the integral control
provides 50% after 600 seconds.
The main effects of enabling P+I control are:
• The average return air temperature will be closer to the set-point with respect to proportional control alone
(reduced error).
• The cooling devices can also run below the set-point, even when dehumidification is not required. This is
somehow inherent to integral control and cannot be avoided.
29
6.2 Humidity control
The humidity devices are controlled according to the humidity values read by the ambient probe B1 (or return). The
value read is compared with the desired value and the devices are activated according to the difference.
The proportional band identifies the actual adjustment range and separate humidification and dehumidification
values can be set.
There is a 0.2% fixed dead zone before and after the set-point, in which no adjustment takes place (to prevent
oscillations).

6.2.1 Humidification
Humidification is possible by means of an:
• Integrated immersed electrode humidifier with proportional control according to the adjustment band;
• External humidifier, which is either ON/OFF (controlled by digital output DO11) or modulating (controlled by
analogue output Y2).
6.2.2 Dehumidification
Dehumidification is possible by means of:
• An external dehumidification device control (digital output DO6)
• Activation of the cooling devices (compressors or coil) to reach the dew point of the treated air. The
activation mode changes according to the enabled priority: TEMPERATURE or HUMIDITY. In the former
case, the cooling devices are activated proportionally in relation to the temperature until the temperature set-
point is reached, after which they are forced to 100%. In the latter case, they are immediately forced to
100%. In both cases, if the temperature drops below the set-point, cooling continues and the heaters will be
activated.
• Reducing the air flow:
this is enabled in the Manufacturer section with the option of a motor that is either dual-pole or adjustable
with an external inverter. In the former case, the controller will "switch" between the DO1 and DO6 digital
outputs, thereby allowing two different remote switches connected to the two motor windings to be closed,
with a dead time that can be set (default: 2 s) for the electromechanical control devices to disengage
completely. The low speed output is activated when the humidity exceeds the threshold, which is equal to
the set-point+the dehumidification band and is deactivated when the set-point is reached. In the case of an
adjustable motor, the Y1 control signal is reduced from the maximum value to a constant value during the
entire the dehumidification process. This allows the optimal air flow to be more finely adjusted. Activation
follows the same reference parameters as for double speed.
• With an electronic expansion valve, decreasing the evaporation temperature by increasing the intake
refrigerant superheat. The process is automatic upon the dehumidification request and the desired
superheat set-point is required during the process.

6.2.3 Other humidity functions
6.2.3.1 High/Low humidity alarm
This function allows the controller to detect the constancy of the ambient humidity (read by the control probe),
beyond the set limits and longer than the set value, thereby triggering a non-serious alarm on the display. The
high/low humidity status does not deactivate the outputs.

6.3 Compressors
6.3.1 Capacity Control

They can be either NO (normally open - the output is excited due to a full load) or NC (normally closed - the output is
excited due to capacity control) to adapt to the compressor model. Capacity control is always active upon
compressor start-up and switches to full load, if required, once a set delay elapses.
If dehumidification is requested, the compressors are forced at full load.
The temperature-based activation/deactivation compressor and capacity control logic always activates a capacity-
controlled compressor first, then full load, then the second capacity-controlled compressor and lastly, full load.
6.3.2 Rotation
If more than one compressor is present, the sequence with which the controller activates them can be set as
necessary:
• None: the controller activates the first available compressor (starting from no. 1).
• FIFO (fist in, first out): the controller controls the compressor sequence and the first to be activated is
deactivated first (consequently, the first to be deactivated is re-activated last).

This sets the minimum time (in seconds) that each compressor must remain OFF, regardless of start-up requests.
6.3.3.3 Minimum interval between start-ups of different compressors

This sets the minimum time (in seconds) that must elapse between the start-up of one compressor and another.
6.3.3.4 Minimum interval between start-ups of the same compressor

This sets the minimum time (in seconds) that must elapse between two consecutive start-ups of the same
compressor, regardless of the load requests. In simple terms, the number of start-ups within the time interval is
reduced by increasing the value.
6.3.3.5 Minimum start-up capacity control time

This sets the minimum time (in seconds) that must elapse between the start-up of a capacity-controlled compressor
(at minimum load) and being forced to maximum load.
6.3.4 Forced compressor capacity control in tandem

If a single cooling circuit with two hermetic compressors in tandem is used, the controller allows the user to force one
of the two compressors OFF when a given supply pressure threshold is reached. This prevents both compressors
from being switched OFF due to high pressure and allows the unit to continue running even at a partial load.
One of the two compressors can be switched OFF in either of the following ways:
• Opening digital output ID1 – compressor 1 will always be switched OFF. This normally involves a high
pressure switch with automatic reset, with a slightly lower intervention threshold than the high pressure
switch (safety) with manual reset. No alarm is triggered.
• If the high pressure transducer is set (analogue input B2), only compressor 1 shutdown will be automatic
once the high pressure alarm threshold (from the transducer) is reached, with an alarm signal (can be reset
automatically – see paragraph 6.16.2).
6.3.5 Management of the solenoid valves on the hot gas by-pass line
If digital outputs DO9 and DO10 are enabled as by-pass valves, they can be used to delay opening the solenoid
valves on the hot gas by-pass line. The delay time refers to the start-up of each compressor and can be set.
6.3.6 Compressor alarms
6.3.6.1 High pressure

The high pressure alarm is only controlled if the pressure transducers are enabled. Once the threshold set in the
relative "Manufacturer" mask is reached, the compressor is immediately switched OFF without respecting the time
intervals and the alarm can only be reset (manually or automatically - see paragraph 6.16.2) when the pressure
drops below the reset differential.
6.3.6.2 Low pressure

The low pressure alarm (related to the status of digital inputs ID2 and ID10) switches the relative compressor OFF.
The alarm is delayed from compressor start-up for a set time (to overcome any transient instances). See paragraph
6.16.2 for the type of reset.
6.3.6.3 General alarm

This refers to the opening of digital inputs ID1 and ID9 (in the case of compressors on separate cooling circuits) or
ID9 and ID3 (in the case of compressors in tandem on a single circuit). This causes the relative compressor to
shutdown immediately without respecting the time intervals, with the possibility of manual or automatic reset (see
paragraph 6.16.2). This is normally related to the intervention of the compressor thermal protection or the high
pressure safety switch.
32
6.3.7 Management of Inverter Driven Compressors
The compressor regulation takes place, as standard, by the return air temperature: the controller measures the
return temperature and processes a command signal for the compressor according to a PID logic referring to the
control set point and the corresponding differential.
When the PID regulation ramp of the temperature reaches 50% there is the activation request for the compressor; if
cooling demand goes to zero the compressor is shut off.
The compressor modulates both in activation request and deactivation.
The regulation ramp is used as a request for inverter regulation.
When enabled, the humidity control in dehumidification mode causes compressor to operate at 100% power
capacity.
The alarms that cause the compressor shut off are the same of an on/off compressor (immediate power off without
deceleration ramp); same shutdown mode when the shut off command is given to the entire unit.
The control logic of the variable capacity compressor provides the following:
• adaptation of the cooling capacity to the actual thermal load; a precise adjustment is carried out, which allows to
minimize the fluctuations in temperature and humidity (when required) and the number of compressor startups.
• optimization of the compressor management maintaining the operating conditions within the application limits
provided by the manufacturer (envelope management)
• management of oil return cycles to avoid excessive oil migration in the refrigeration system with separate sections
• management of operating cycles at maximum rotational speed to compensate for sudden thermal load peaks.
The enabling of inverter compressor management can be done on the mask CL in the manufacturer menu.
Once enabled, additional masks are activated in the parameter and I/O menu, which allow to set / display
parameters for proper operation.
In the case of direct expansion units with DC inverter compressor, the P (proportional) temperature control must be
activated.
In the direct expansion units the management of the liquid line solenoid valve (which is normally connected to the
digital output which activates the on/off compressor) is linked to the number of revolutions of the compressor: when
the compressor has a number of revolutions greater than 0, the valve is energized, when the number of revolutions
is equal to 0, the valve is de-energized.
This function is only active with DC inverter units.
In the case of direct expansion Dual Cooling or Free Cooling units with inverter compressor, the air flow is kept
constant and equal to the nominal value, in this way the freecooling is fully exploited, limiting the intervention of the
compressor and thereby reducing the total electric power absorbed by the machine.
6.4 Condensation fans

Two condensation fan outputs can be piloted by enabling the relative pressure transducers. The following
configurations are possible:
- Separate ON/OFF outputs: each output controls a fan unit according to the pressure detected of each
circuit.
- Two-step ON/OFF outputs for a single bi-circuit condensing coil for step control based on the higher
condensation pressure.
- Separate analogue outputs: each output controls a fan unit with a 0-10V modulating signal based on the
condensing pressure detected of each circuit.
- A single analogue output for each condensation coil with a 0-10V modulating signal based on the higher
pressure.
In any case, the outputs are only activated when the compressors are switched ON:
in the case of two separate outputs, each one is only linked to operation of the relative compressor; in the case of
one shared output, activation of one of the two compressors is sufficient.

A minimum and maximum speed can be set for the analogue output; if the minimum speed setting is other than
zero, the controller will automatically switch off the 1 bar output (fixed value) when this drops below the condensation
set value.
Pre-ventilation can be enabled in the Manufacturer menu, which allows the user to switch the ventilation ON at
maximum speed (with the compressors OFF) if the pressure rises excessively, example due to solar radiation.
A single analogue output configuration can be used in water condensing units to pilot a condensation control (two or
three way) valve. A pre-adjustment value and a compressor start-up delay can be set. Therefore, the water valve
can open and start the adjusting process upon compressor start-up, thereby avoiding high pressure transient
instances due to mechanical inertia of the valve.

6.5 Electric Heaters
6.5.1 Heater alarms

The digital inputs of the heater alarms are ID3 and ID14, or only the latter (cumulative) if two compressors in tandem
on a single cooling circuit are used. The opening of a digital input immediately deactivates the relative heater.
6.5.2 Excluding the heaters via a digital input

In order to meet a particular electrical consumption demand, the heaters can be disabled from a digital output
(opening ID17 - only on the LARGE board).
6.6 Humidifier
6.6.1 Integrated humidifier control

The main control parameters are:
• Humidity set point
• Humidification proportional band
• Maximum production
Max production
[kg/h]
20% nom.
production
Proportional band rh%
Figure 6-8
The software processes the actual target cylinder production in accordance with Nominal Production (cylinder
parameter, equal to its maximum production at full capacity), Maximum Production (parameter set by the user, a
percentage of maximum production) and the difference between the set-point and the actual value (according to the
diagram in Figure 6-8).
The humidifier has a minimum production of 20% of the Nominal Power (for technical purposes) and remains
constant at this value up to 20% of the proportional band, increasing as the difference between actual humidity and
the set value also increases up to the maximum production set at the proportional band limit.
The humidifier has a fixed low hysteresis of 0.2% for start-up and shutdown.
The integrated algorithm is briefly described below.

V
In this type of humidifier, vapour is produced due to the water boiling in the cylinder. Applying voltage
to the internal electrodes, the current heats the water to boiling point by Joule effect.
I
The current passing through the electrodes of the boiler depends on the voltage applied to the
electrodes, the conductivity of the water inside the cylinder and its level.
The objective of the algorithm is to maintain the current that circulates through the electrodes at a
reference value for the quantity of vapour required by the humidity probes and the parameters set by
the user to be produced.
35
The water level decreases during evaporation and since the measured current is directly proportional to the amount
of water in the cylinder, very small amounts of water would have to be continuously poured into the cylinder to keep
the current value constant.
It has been decided to keep the current within a certain range that is close to the reference current by means of
repeated “water fill-up/evaporation” cycles in order to avoid this.
Another determining factor, besides the level of the water inside the cylinder, which effects the measured current is
conductivity of the water inside the cylinder. In fact, during the evaporation cycles, water conductivity will increase due to
an increase in the concentration of salts. Conductivity of the water inside the boiler is measured indirectly by means of the
time taken to complete an evaporation cycle. This time is then compared with a reference value (typical for each cylinder),
and if this is less, a specific amount of water is drained (drain by dilution) and then less conductive water is filled from the
main supply.
The humidifier also has a conductivity meter that can detect the conductivity of the mains supply that enters during
fill-up. In the case of high conductivity of the water flow, the control algorithm first signals a pre-alarm (that does not
interrupt operation) and then an alarm (that interrupts operation). This is essential to prevent excessive water flow
conductivity in the cylinder that could compromise the proper operation of the humidifier.
A fundamental element placed at the top of the boiler is the high level probe that detects any water or foam.
The high level electrodes can intervene for various reasons:
• total water fill-up in the boiler - with the machine inactive - due to a leaking fill-up solenoid valve;
• high water level during the initial cylinder fill-up process;
• high water level following cylinder exhaustion due to deposits on the plates;
• formation of foam.
Should the high level probe intervene repeatedly, the algorithm evaluates the possibility of this being caused by the
formation of foam. If the high level probe interventions persist after washing the cylinder completely (complete drain-
complete fill-up-complete drain) the controller signals a foam alarm (that does not interrupt operation).
The control of any overcurrent is an important aspect of humidifier operation. In fact, each time voltage is applied to
the boiler electrodes after a stopped period, brief but very intense current peaks may occur. If an overcurrent occurs
during the initial period, the algorithm responds immediately by disconnecting the voltage from the electrodes and
activating a drain cycle. If the overcurrent should persist, humidifier operation is interrupted and a high current
alarm is triggered.
The algorithm also monitors the methods with which the draining cycles are implemented, signalling a drain alarm if
necessary, if a significant current reduction is not detected as from when a drain cycle begins.
Vice versa, a no water alarm can be signalled if a significant current increase is not detected during the humidifier
water fill-up cycle.
A number of auxiliary functions can also be managed from the controller:

- drain due to set-point reduction. In the event of significant reductions in desired vapour production during
operation, activate a drain cycle instead of waiting for the water level to decrease (and therefore production) by
means of evaporation. The drain cycle is considered high if the current exceeds 33% of that associated with the
request. Active by default.
- drain due to prolonged inactivity (Days). If the humidifier remains ON but in a non-productive state for more
than the set time, the controller activates a complete drain cycle of the water in the cylinder. This function prevents
the electrodes from corrosion caused by highly saline water if the humidifier is not used for long periods. Active by
default.
- periodic drain (Hours). If the water supply contains impurities (such as humus) or is very aggressive, the boiler
must be periodically emptied by setting the desired time interval. Active by default.
- drain without power. If an automatic drain cycle is activated to remove salts, the electrodes are disconnected,
thereby stopping vapour production temporarily. This way, possible current dispersion to earth is prevented if the
drain pipes are conductive. Active by default.
- exhausted cylinder signal. The "almost exhausted cylinder" or "exhausted cylinder" signals can be enabled and
are managed from the controller autonomously according to the operating parameters recorded by the cylinder itself,
which indicate that the cylinder can no longer guarantee nominal production. The signals do not deactivate the
cylinder (no by default).
- shutdown delay (seconds). A cylinder shutdown delay can be enabled as from when the humidification request
ends (zero by default).
- forced conductivity (µS/cm). This is set to zero by default.
- drain percentage time (% with respect to H3). This and the following parameter can modify the duration of the
drain cycle (percentage) by dilution and its frequency. It is recommended not to modify the default values.
- evap. percentage time (% with respect to H4).
- high conductivity pre-alarm and alarm. Water supply conductivity alarm thresholds are present. Excessively
conductive water can damage the cylinder. The pre-alarm does not switch the cylinder OFF but the alarm does.
36
The humidity is controlled by the programme according to the humidity probe reading, the humidity set-point and the
humidity differential.
- Operating hours alarm threshold. A maintenance time limit can be set as follows, if required: operating hours
are calculated by the actual cylinder production percentage (i.e. 1000 hours at 50% capacity are equal to 500 hours
at 100% capacity); when the pre-set threshold is reached, a pre-alarm is displayed (cylinder maintenance warning);
when 1.5 times the set threshold is reached, a maintenance alarm is displayed and the cylinder is stopped. The
humidifier operating hours must be reset before resetting both types of alarm.
6.6.2 External humidifier control

An ON/OFF type of external humidifier (controlled by a specific relay output) as well as a modulating control type
(controlled by a 0-10V analogue output) can be managed.
In the former case, the humidifier is activated when the set-point less the humidifier proportional band is reached and
then stops at the set-point. The external humidifier must have its own control logic and a potential-free alarm contact
connected to the relative input of the pCO* board to signal the fault. In this case the digital output will be deactivated.
In the latter case, the 0-10V signal activation is proportional to the ambient humidity position within the humidification
proportional band; even in this case, the external humidifier must have its own adjustment logic and a potential-free
contact to signal the alarm status as explained above.
6.6.3 Excluding the humidifier via a digital input

A specific digital input can be activated to deactivate the humidifier via a potential-free contact. This can be useful for
example, for energy saving purposes or similar reasons (ID18 opening - only on a LARGE board).
6.6.4 Excluding the humidifier in heating mode

A parameter can be set in the "Manufacturer" menu to disable the humidifying function when the electric heaters are
active. In this way electric absorption can be reduced.
6.7 Modulating valves
6.7.1 Valves with 3-point servo controller

These are valves in which the servo controller has 3 electric contacts: common, opening and closing. The two digital
outputs of the pCO* board must be connected to the latter two.
Depending on output activation time, the opening range of the connected valve varies from 0 to 100%, whereby the
excursion time to switch from fully closed to fully open is a specific parameter provided by the valve. The pCO* board
relay outputs are never activated simultaneously; therefore, the valves can be in three different states: opening,
closing or stationary.
The desired valve opening range is calculated according to the actual difference from the temperature set-point;
once this range is expressed as a percentage, the actual stroke time required is calculated starting from the total
stroke time of the valve. During operation, the programme recognises the valve position (relative opening range) by
adding and subtracting all the partial activation times of the outputs (opening and closing, respectively) as from when
adjustment begins.
Example: a valve with a 90 s stroke time to open from zero to 40%, requires a 36 s opening pulse. To then bring the
valve to 25%, the following closing pulse is required:
40%-25%=15% multiplied by 90 s =13.5 s.
6.7.1.1 Realignment
A characteristic of the 3-point valves is that of not having a feedback signal that can transmit the actual position to
the controller. Mechanical inertia and minor inaccuracies can be added gradually as the number of activations
increases until significant positioning errors are reached. The programme resolves this problem as follows:
• Each time the temperature adjustment requires the valve to be fully opened or closed, the opening or closing
relay activation time is increased by 25%. This ensures the valve end-of-travel is reached.
• Each time the unit is switched ON, the valves are force closed for the same amount of time required for the
total stroke time so as to start control from zero.
6.7.2 Valves with 0-10V modulating servo controller

These are valves in which the servo controller uses a 0-10 Vdc modulating signal deriving from the pCO* board to
vary their opening from 0 to 100%.
37
The electric signal of the relative analogue output is directly proportional to the regulator request as is the valve
position. There are no alignment problems in this case.
6.8 Supply fan

The supply fan can be controlled by two types of control:
ON/OFF control managed via digital output NO1
modulating control (0-10V signal) managed via analogue output Y1
In both cases, the fan is activated when the unit is set to ON and remains so until the unit is set to OFF (via a
keyboard, digital input, time bands or monitoring) or STAND-BY (by rotation with other units on the network). Fan
activation delay times can be set with regards to unit start-up (ON) and shutdown (OFF).
The fan is only switched OFF during operation if an alarm is triggered. This occurs due to a direct ventilation alarm
(motor thermal protection, no air flow) or a serious alarm related to the unit as a whole (fire/smoke alarm, flood
alarm, external alarm, condensate drain pump alarm). Chilled water units allow the user to define whether the
(chilled) water flow alarm must stop the fan or not.
If the fan is controlled by a digital (ON/OFF) type of signal, the output works as follows:
digital output NO1 is activated when the unit is set to ON and remains so until the unit is set to OFF (via a keyboard,
digital input, time bands or monitoring) or STAND-BY (by rotation with other units on the network). Digital output NO1
activation delay times can be set with regards to unit start-up (ON) and shutdown (OFF).
When in humidifying status, digital output NO1 control changes according to the activation implemented in the Cz
mask:
Enabled Cz mask
Dehumidification requestNO1 is disabled (OFF) and output NO6 is enabled (ON) after a set switch time elapses
Dehumidification request is metNO6 is disabled (OFF) and output NO1 is enabled (ON) after a set switch time
elapses.
Disabled Cz mask
Dehumidification requestNO1 remains enabled and output NO6 is enabled (in this case, NO6 has a LED function:
it only identifies the dehumidification status)
Dehumidification request is met NO1 remains enabled and output NO6 is disabled
If the fan is controlled by a modulating (0-10V) type of signal, the following operating logic can be applied:
• Manual
The fan control logic is enabled in manual mode from the relative mask
Manual control requires the fan speed to be set manually in the relative mask in the Set-Point menu. The set values
range between two limits (minimum and maximum).
• Semi-automatic TR
The return temperature fan control logic is enabled from the relative mask.
The Semi-automatic TR control requires the fan speed to change continuously in line with the return temperature
variations, modulating within the proportional band between two set minimum/maximum limits. A fixed speed can
also be set (generally a lower value than the maximum speed) that is to be maintained during the dehumidification
status.
An activation offset value (expressed in °C) can al so be set for this type of fan control with respect to the return
temperature set-point. The logic also applies to the heating band.
The logic is represented as follows:

• Semi-automatic TMd-TMr
The supply temperature control logic is enabled from the relative mask
The Semi-automatic TMd-TMr control requires the fan speed to change continuously in line with the supply
temperature variations, within a range called supply temperature differential and between two set minimum and
maximum limits.
Signal modulation varies according to two types of logic:
direct and reverse logic, set in the relative mask.
The direct logic (TMd) works in a way that the signal increases as the air supply temperature increases.
The reverse logic (TMr) works in a way that the signal decreases as the air supply temperature increases.
A fixed speed can be set during forced dehumidification.
The thermostatic control probe is the air return probe, therefore the fan adjustment ranges do not correspond to
those of the cooling/heating devices. When thermostatic operation is requested (return temp.), the fans adjust their
speed according to their own control parameters.
The logic presented below must be "copied" for the heating mode.

• Automatic POC
The logic is enabled from the relative mask
The fan speed is automatically controlled by a feedback system for the air flow to be kept constant as the external
conditions vary (filter status, pressure drops in the air distribution system, etc.). The minimum, maximum, differential
and set-point pressure values are set for the dehumidification mode in the relative mask.
The controller must calculate a pressure value upon unit start-up, which depends on the air return temperature
reading. The controller compares the read value with the return temperature set-point and differential just like during
regular operation. An actual pressure value must correspond with the read temperature value and where this is
positioned with respect to the set-point and differential (fig. 6-11).
Therefore, the actual pressure value varies linearly with respect to the return temperature and the relative band.
The controller logic tends to "follow" and meet the actual pressure value (therefore considered a variable set-point),
comparing it with the value read by the transducer on the fan nozzle.
This system provides the precise air flow value according to the thermal load
A return temperature set-point offset is set up on CW units to reach the minimum speed at a temperature that is
slightly higher than the set-point. In certain applications, this allows the cold water valve to open before the fan starts
to work.
The fan must have an air flow measuring system for this mode to be used. This logic is applied in "EC Radial" type
of fans.
The control system has a nozzle with one or more pressure inlets and an air differential pressure transducer. The air
flow of a single fan is linked to the pressure difference measured between the external and internal parts of the
nozzle. The controller adjusts this pressure difference and thereby controls the air flow.
Figure 6-12
40
The feedback control diagram is shown in Figure 6-. The system enables an air differential pressure transducer on
analogue input B3 by selecting the type (4-20 mA, 0-10V, 0-5V) and the measurement range. The pressure value is
read and compared with the desired set-point value.
The PID regulator parameters (proportional band, integral time and differential time) can be set in the Manufacturer
menu. It is recommended to contact the Manufacturer's Technical Assistance department for the above mentioned
parameters to be modified.
The pressure value read by the transducer and its conversion into the air flow rate can be viewed in the I/O menu.
When the differential pressure transducer is enabled, the no air flow alarm is controlled via software and not via a
digital input:

The air flow remains fixed in dehumidification mode (single pressure set-point for dehumidification).
• Automatic PRC
The logic is enabled from the relative mask.
The logic is only active in CW units and with a number of units connected on the P-LAN network.
The fan speed is automatically controlled by a feedback system. The control logic keeps the air flow constant as the
external conditions vary (filter status, pressure drops in the air distribution system, etc.). The fan must have an air
flow measuring system for this mode to be used. This logic is applied in "EC Radial" type of fans.
When a number of units are present on the P-LAN network and each unit has its own pressure transducer, the fans
are controlled by a signal that is proportional to the difference between the average of the values read by each
transducer and the pressure set-point of each unit.
The value read by the pressure transducer and displayed in the I/O mask is shown as Air Supply Pressure
expressed in Pa.
The air flow alarm is controlled via a digital input and not via a pressure transducer.
A pressure set-point to be maintained in dehumidification is not set in this mode.

6.9 Electronic thermostatic valves
If electronic thermostatic control valves are used, the correct number of drivers in the relative Manufacturer mask
and the model of the electronic valve present must first be enabled. The Carel EVD000400 driver allows the user to
control the following valves:
• Carel E2V*
• Sporlan SEI 0.5-20
• Sporlan SEI 30
• Sporlan SEH 50-250
• Alco EX5-EX6
• Alco EX7
• Alco EX8 330 steps
• Alco EX8 500 steps
• Danfoss ETS-25/50
• Danfoss ETS-100
• Carel E2V*P
• Danfoss ETS-250/400
• (Customised)
The drivers can be equipped with backup batteries for the valves to close in the event of an abrupt power cut.
The basic principle of the control algorithm is based on stability together with the superheat state being reached
quickly, when possible.
The algorithm calculates the superheat as a difference between the intake temperature read by the temperature
probe and the saturation temperature corresponding with the pressure read by the transducer (by means of the
tables based on the set refrigerant).
The core of the control is a coefficient PID algorithm that can be set as a set-point (generally 5°C) to control the
superheat. The coefficients of the PID algorithm are set by default following theoretical evaluations and experimental
tests, however, general guidelines can be provided for an initial set up:
Parameter Description Recommended value

Superheat set-point This is the value that the driver 5-6°C

The accessory control parameters are:
Parameter Description Recommended

value
LowSh Superheat threshold too low (risk of liquid return). The controller reacts 2°C
by closing the valve quicker when the superheat drops below this limit
LowSh Ti Integral time for low superheat protection 10 s
LOP Low evaporation pressure. If the limit is exceeded, the driver opens the valve -5°C
to prevent low-pressure alarms, thereby stopping the superheat control
(given that a low superheat condition does not arise)
LOP Ti Integral time for low evaporation pressure protection 10 s
MOP High evaporation pressure protection. If the threshold value is exceeded, the 12-15°C
valve is closed to prevent compressor overloading (similar function to
thermostatic expansion valves MOP).
MOP Ti Integral time for high evaporation pressure protection 20 s
MOP HiTsurr High compressor gas intake temperature protection 30°C
MOP Delay MOP activation delay at compressor start-up 30 s
HiTcond High condensation pressure protection. The valve is closed when the 75°C
threshold is reached to prevent high pressure alarms. This function is not
enabled by default (see the recommended value).
HiTcond Ti Integral time for high condensation pressure protection 20 s
Additional parameters for the dehumidification control are also present: a superheat set-point is set to be used
during dehumidification. The highest superheat implies a smaller evaporator surface pertaining to the boiling of the
liquid, thereby being equal to its capacity control with a relative reduction in the evaporation temperature. The lowest
evaporation temperature is equal to a lower superficial temperature of the pipes and fins, with a relative increase in
air dehumidification.
If the EVD400 drivers are enabled to control the electronic thermostatic valves, the value read by the intake pressure
transducers can be used to control the low pressure alarm via software (in this case, the relative digital inputs can be
ignored).
In any case, it is not recommended to modify the set default values without the Manufacturer's support.
6.10 Free Cooling

This is an operating mode that allows the user to use a "free" cooling source (water or air), only available in certain
circumstances as an alternative to normal cooling (generally compressors).
6.10.1 Water free cooling (FcW)

Water condensing units can be set up with an additional water cooling coil, deriving for example from an external dry
cooler, normally used to cool condensation water. If the water temperature is sufficiently cold, it can be used for
cooling as an alternative or in addition to the compressors. Subsequently, the water exiting the free cooling coil can
be used for condensation.
The controller uses a temperature probe in the water and if its temperature is acceptable, a 0-10V modulating valve
(analogue output AO6) is controlled via analogue output Y6.
The water deriving from the external source can be used by setting the parameters appropriately and following either
of the three possible methods below:
• According to the difference (offset) from the air entering the unit. By default this value is set to 2°C. The free
cooling valve is only activated if the water temperature is at least 2°C lower than that of the air.
• According to the absolute water temperature. By default this value is set to 16°C. The free cooling v alve is
only activated if the water temperature is less than 16°C. A minimum limit can also be set.
• According to the external air temperature (if the relative probe is enabled). Free cooling is enabled if the
external air temperature is lower than that of the internal air (by a specific offset). In this way, an external dry
cooler can be used, thereby obtaining water at an intermediate temperature between the external air and the
ambient air.

There are two distinct methods of integrating the cooling devices: normal and "free".
The former method requires a free cooling valve to be used with the compressors (auxiliary compressor operation).
In this case, the cooling proportional band is divided in two parts: a return valve is used in the first part and the
compressor steps in the second. This means that free cooling is used alone as long as the load demand is met,
otherwise the compressors are activated also.
The diagram below illustrates the control logic: note how the operating bands of the chilled water valve and the
compressors overlap. Only the valve's maximum opening can be modified.

The latter method only requires the return valve, provided the water is sufficiently cold (alternating compressor
mode). The valve occupies the entire proportional band as in the case of the chilled water coil, modulating according
to the thermal load request.
In both cases, if the water temperature does not conform with that required for free cooling, the relative valve is
closed and the cooling is transferred entirely to the compressors that occupy the entire proportional band.
If dehumidification is required, compressor start-up can be delayed with respect to the valve's total opening.
6.10.2 Air free cooling (DE and CW)

If the external air temperature is less than that of the air return and is made available to be unit, the modulating
analogue output AO6 can be used to control the mixing dampers. The operating logic is very similar to that of water
free cooling: if the external air temperature is less than the return air temperature by a differential value (generally
2°C, adjustable), the analogue output is activated to control the damper system that allows progressively increasing
44
external air percentages to enter. The adjustment logic is identical to that of water free cooling: use of the
compressors (DE) or chilled water valve (CW) can be set as auxiliary to the dampers (if the load is not met) or
alternative (either of the two work). If the air temperature is beyond the permitted limits, only the compressors (DE)
or the cold water coil (CW) work.

6.11 Dual Cooling

The unit must be configured for the installation of an additional water coil.
Even though the dual cooling function is similar to the water free cooling function, the difference lies in the units
using two cooling systems, one main (chilled water) and one secondary (or backup) in direct expansion.
As long as there is a chilled water flow (indicated by the flow switch), with a coil inlet water temperature adequate for
the set parameters, the unit uses the chilled water coil as the main cooling system. The chilled water flow in the coil
is adjusted by a valve (0-10V) controlled by analogue output AO6. The controller uses the compressors if there is no
water or the water temperature entering the coil is too high.
Compressor operation can be enabled as alternative or auxiliary to the chilled water coil. Refer to Figure 6-10.
If dehumidification is required, compressor start-up can be delayed with respect to the valve's total opening.
6.12 Constant Temperature

This configuration requires a hot gas post-heating coil to be used with a 0-10V modulating control valve for better
equilibrium between the cooling capacity delivered by the compressor and the ambient thermal load (in this case a
single compressor configuration is required).
The hot gas valve opening band overlaps the compressor band; this way, the ambient temperature will be relatively
stable within the proportional band without the compressor starting and stopping.
Post-heating can also be transferred (in addition with the hot gas) to a hot water coil or electric heaters. In the three
cases (only hot gas, hot gas with water coil, hot gas with electric heaters), the control diagrams differ in the
compressor shutdown point, which gradually moves downwards and positions itself within the heating band
(normally, the compressor should shutdown at the set-point).

6.13 Limiting the supply temperature in free cooling and dual cooling
Both types of operation require a temperature probe on the air flow.
This prevents air that is too cold from entering the ambient during free cooling and ice formation on the direct
expansion coil when this works together with free cooling.
The parameters that determine the function of this feature are mainly a set-point and an air flow differential. The
"limit" of the cooling devices within the differential increases proportionally until it reaches the "total limit" at the
differential extreme. As for the limited devices, if the compressors are not enabled together with the valves/dampers,
this means:
• The valves are closed progressively
• The single compressor is switched OFF when reaching the differential
• In the case of 2 compressors, one is switched OFF when reaching half the differential and the other when
reaching the differential

6.14 DW Control (Dual Water)
DW control is reserved for chilled water units (CW). The scope is to control two separate cooling coils with two
separate 3-point control valves.
There are two control modes of the double chilled water coil:
• Separate: only one coil (and valve) works at a time, which is selected by digital input ID1. The valve running
at that time occupies the entire proportional band. Example of application: one coil works during the day with
water from the chiller and the other works during the night with water from a dry cooler or another source.
• Combined: both coils (and valves) are used simultaneously within the same differential. In this case the
status of input ID1 is ineffective. Example of application: one coil uses a primary source for the normal
thermal load and the other uses a different auxiliary source for peak loads.
If the coils are used together, the control starting point (closed valve) and finishing point (valve completely open) can
be set within the cooling band for each valve. For example, one valve can be opened in the first half of the
proportional band and the second valve in the remaining part, as shown in the diagram below.

6.15 Manual control of the devices

This refers to particular masks in the Maintenance section that allow the user to enable the individual outputs (digital
and analogue) manually and separately, to perform tests or maintenance.
The programme allows all the digital outputs (except those relative to the integrated humidifier) and all the analogue
outputs (at the desired value between 0 and 10 V) to be energised manually.
With regards to the integrated humidifier, a pre-wash cycle can be activated (simultaneous opening of the fill-up and
drain valves for 10 mins, therefore three complete fill-up/drain cycles) or a complete water drain cycle.
Manual activation of the individual outputs requires a number of precautions in order to prevent incorrect operation of
the devices:
• Always activate digital output no. 1 (fan) first, even when the output is not physically connected, to prevent
failure of the safety devices.
• Unless a simulated test is being run with no voltage to the loads, activate the compressors and/or the
heaters after having activated the ventilation.
• Deactivate digital output no. 1 last.
Manual control is only possible with the unit OFF. All activated outputs must be deactivated manually during the
manual procedure for the unit to be restarted in automatic mode (ON status).

6.16 Alarms
The terminal connected to the pCO* board can display 89 different alarms, triggered by the opening of a digital input
to which a safety device is connected, a set threshold being exceeded or abnormal operating conditions.
When an alarm is triggered, the terminal connected to the pCO* board lights up the red LED below the Alarm key
and energises the alarm digital output (DO8). Press the Alarm key to display the alarm and once again to delete the
alarm if the conditions allow this.
The following table describes the meaning of each alarm and the devices that are shutdown when the alarm is
triggered.

6.16.1 Minor and serious alarms

Each alarm can be set as "minor" or "serious". The distinction is effective in the following cases:
- When a number of units are in Running/Stand-by mode on the local network and a "serious" alarm is
triggered, one of the units in stand-by is activated.
- Digital output 7 is activated if it is enabled as a "minor alarm" and such an alarm is triggered; if a "serious"
alarm is triggered, digital output 8 is activated.
NOTE: the characteristics of a particular alarm (see the table in the previous paragraph) determine whether the
entire unit is to be shut down or not. This does NOT depend on the minor/serious classification.
If digital output 7 is not enabled to indicate "minor alarms", such an alarm will be considered a "serious" alarm and
digital output 8 will be activated. In this case, this output will be assigned the general alarm output function.
If the customer must manage an alarm deriving from an external controller, a digital input of the pCO3 board can be
customised as follows:
the external alarm can be assigned to the minor or serious alarm category from the relative mask and the text
description of the alarm that appears on the display can be set
6.16.2 High and low pressure alarm automatic reset

High-pressure (from a transducer) and low pressure (from a digital input or pressure transducer) alarms can be reset
manually or automatically.
The activation function is in the relative Manufacturer mask and the control parameters are available in the User
section.
Once automatic reset is enabled, the controller allows a limited number of resets in a specific time interval. A
subsequent alarm within the same interval leads to the alarm appearing on the display and can only be reset
manually from the keyboard.
Example: A maximum number of three alarms in thirty minutes is set. When the first alarm is triggered, the controller
automatically resets the unit when the alarm conditions are resolved (e.g. a pressure switch is closed). If other
alarms occur, the controller keeps track of the time elapsed and once a fourth alarm is triggered within thirty
minutes, manual reset is required.
1sta 2nda 3rda 4thm 4tha
30 min t
Figure 6-24
Clearly, if the number of alarms and time intervals are set freely, the user must apply due caution and be aware of
the unit operating specifications in order to prevent the alarms from always being reset automatically due to a low
ratio (time)/(no. of alarms). It is recommended to set a minimum value that is greater than the compressor anti-
recirculation time.
51
6.16.3 Water flow switch control
The water flow switch is controlled differently and particularly, according to the function required.
Type of unit Flow switch input What it controls What it shuts down Type of reset
Water condensed ID15 Condensation water Compressors Automatic or manual
DE
Dual Cooling DE ID15 Chilled water Chilled water valve Automatic or manual
CW ID10 Chilled water Chilled water valve or Automatic or manual
the entire unit
CW DC ID10 Chilled water Chilled water valve Automatic or manual
(primary)
In the case of water condensed direct expansion units, the flow switch has the basic function of preventing high
pressure alarms due to no water.
In the case of chilled water units, the flow switch has the function of monitoring water presence for the water coil.
In the case of DC units, the flow switch switches the cooling function to the backup system (compressors or
secondary water valve) if there is no primary chilled water.
In all instances, the alarm delay time can be set upon start-up as well as during operation. If automatic reset is
configured, the number of restarts is not limited.
6.16.4 Configurable alarm potential free contacts (Alarm Board)

Different signal/status functions can only be assigned to digital outputs 14 - 18 if the pCO* LARGE board is present.
The possible assignments are:
• Disabled
• General alarm C1–HP1
• General alarm C2–HP2
• LP1 alarm
• LP2 alarm
• High/Low return temp. alarm
• High/Low return humidity alarm
• Fan circuit breaker alarm
• Heater circuit breaker alarm
• Integrated humidifier alarm
• No air flow alarm
• Smoke/fire alarm
• Dirty filter alarm
• Flood alarm
• Condensate drain pump alarm
• No water flow alarm
• Unit in operation
• Unit in cooling mode
• Unit in heating mode
• Unit in humidification mode
• Unit in dehumidification mode
• External humidifier alarm
The same variable can be selected for several outputs.
For example:
OUT 14- (Disabled)
OUT 15- General alarm C1 – HP1
OUT 16- (Disabled)
OUT 17- Dirty filter alarm
OUT 18- Unit in cooling mode
Other example:
OUT 14- (Disabled)
OUT 17- Dirty filter alarm
OUT 18- Unit in cooling mode

6.16.5 Base log
The memory available on the pCO* board records alarm events. The log record is accessed in the Maintenance
menu and displays the following for each view:
• Progressive alarm number
• Alarm description
• Alarm time and date
A maximum of 100 alarms can be recorded, after which they are overwritten starting from alarm no. 1.
The recorded alarms are scrolled through from the most recent to the oldest with the arrow keys.
The entire log can be deleted following a specific procedure in the Manufacturer menu, i.e. it is automatically deleted
each time the memory is reset from the Manufacturer menu or software is loaded via Winload32.
6.16.6 Sending alarm messages via a GSM network

A telephone number (GSM) can be set if the pCO* board has an RS232 serial board and is connected to a GSM
modem with an activated SIM card, to which the pCO* can send alarm messages. The messages sent are those
recorded in the "base log". The function is enabled by selecting GSM communication protocol in the relative Service
mask, setting the GSM telephone number to which the messages are to be sent and the GSM modem
communication speed (normally 9600 bps).
Hereunder is a list of GSM modems:
MODEM
TYPE MANUFACTURER COMPATIBILITY (*) TEST
GSM360 TELITAL NO
POCKET GSM DIGICOM YES
GSM 2702-D MICROTEL YES
WMOD2B WAVECOM YES YES
FALCOM A2D FALCOM YES YES
FALCOM A3D FALCOM YES
M20 SIEMENS YES
TC35 SIEMENS YES YES
(*) Theoretical compatibility according to Hayes command set
The modems have been tested with the hardware and function correctly. The compatible modems have been
verified according to Hayes command set, which coincides with the command set used by the pCO*.
Follow the instructions provided with the modem to connect the pCO* to the GSM modem. The RS232 serial board
of the pCO* requires a 9-pin female connector.
6.16.7 Advanced log

The pCO* board has a flash memory to store the main variables (temperature, humidity, etc.). The log progress of
these variables can be downloaded to a PC via the programming Smartkey or Winload32 software for offline
analysis.
6.16.7.1 Configuration via "winload"

The Winload32 software allows the user to configure the memory available by selecting the variables to be recorded
and with which sampling interval. The *.pvt file is required to do so, which contains the information required by the
software to create the log configuration file (*.lct). The PVT file is specific to each application; in this case (close
control software), the PVT file is called AIRCON.pvt.
Access the Winload32 Logs Editor menu to create a log configuration file from a PVT file or open a previously saved
file. The procedure guide is then used to set the type of log, the variables to be recorded, the frequency and total
sampling time. A warning is signalled if the space available is exceeded.
Once the LCT file is saved it can be loaded together with the PVT file to the pCO* board using the relative Log
Project and Public Variables section of the Upload tab.
53
6.16.7.2 Retrieving the log record with Winload32
When the pCO* board is connected to the PC with Winload open and a connection has been established, a file
containing the recorded variables and the relative time can be downloaded in CSV format.
For further details refer to the online help section of Winload32.
6.17 Set-point compensation / variation
6.17.1 Set-point variation according to the external temperature

If the external air probe and the set-point compensation function are enabled, the set-point can be linearly modified
between two values. The variation will be proportional to the increase of the external temperature as shown in the
diagram:
Set-point
Compensation
offset
Def. value
Compensation prop. band
External T
Compensation set-point
Figure 6-25
The set-point varies proportionally from the default value (configured in the SET menu) to the value defined by the
default set-point + the compensation set-point.
6.17.2 Set-point variation from an external signal

If the relative analogue input and function are enabled (in the Manufacturer menu), the set-point will vary linearly
between a minimum and maximum value as the external signal varies between its extreme values. External signals
such as 0-1V, 0-10V, 4-20 mA can be used (User menu settings).

The function is alternative to automatic control of the air flow with an air differential pressure transducer signal (as
they use the same analogue input).
6.17.3 External chiller set-point compensation (CW unit)

The external chiller compensation function can be enabled in the Manufacturer menu (only in chilled water units). An
analogue output varies linearly between 0-10V (direct logic) or 10-0V (inverse logic) as the temperature varies within
the differential band. This output can be used for possible set-point compensation of a water chiller, e.g. increasing it
if a thermal load is not requested (thereby saving energy).

6.18 Air defrosting

The function can only be activated if the supply air temperature probe is enabled. The logic stops the compressors
when the supply temperature reaches critical values, correlated to possible defrosting of the finned evaporator coil.
The thermal load of the non-treated air allows the coil to be defrosted.
The parameters that can be set are the temperature threshold that enables the defrosting cycle, the compressor
down time and the minimum time interval that must elapse between two consecutive defrosting cycles.
A defrosting cycle is ignored during dehumidification.
6.19 Efficiency control

The cooling efficiency control has not been completely developed; the procedure described below can be
implemented and activated on this software release for testing purposes since the relative triggered alarm does not
cause problems to the installation/utility.
The aim of this function is to monitor the temperature difference transmitted to the treated air, thereby assigning a
value that is too low, which indicates a probable drop in efficiency. For this reason, the supply air temperature probe
must be connected and enabled.
The efficiency control parameters are:
• Theoretical operating delta (default value 10°C, w hich can be modified). This is the acceptable minimum
temperature difference between the return and supply air probe at maximum cooling capacity. If only one of
two compressors is ON, the delta is automatically divided by two.
• Tolerance. This is a multiplicative numerical factor of the temperature difference measured. The calculated
value is that compared with the theoretical delta.
• Delay time. Once the measured temperature delta drops below the theoretical value, a pre-set time must
elapse before activating the signal.
Hereunder is the table of multiplicative coefficients for the measured temperature delta:
Tolerance 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Coefficient 1.05 1.1 1.15 1.2 1.25 1.3 1.35 1.4 1.45 1.5
55
Efficiency control is excluded in dehumidification or heating mode and in any case in a chilled water unit.
6.20 Running-Stand-by
The system can be controlled more effectively due to the possibility of connecting a maximum of 16 units on the P-
LAN network.
A rotation system can be configured, in which a certain number of units are active (running) and others are in stand-
by. The following can be set in particular (only on the unit with the pCO* board having a P-LAN=1 address):
• The units present on the network

• The number of units normally in stand-by
• Type of rotation (automatic, based on operating hours or time bands)
• Duration of rotation (if in automatic or based on operating hours) or rotation time and interval (in days).
All the rotation functions are only active if board no. 1 is ON and physically connected to the P-LAN. Otherwise, all
the other units will run as stand-alone, independently from one another.
During normal operation, when the set rotation interval elapses (if in hours or at a fixed time every given number of
days), one of the active units switches OFF and one of the other units in stand-by switches ON. If rotation is
automatic, the activated unit with the lowest address switches OFF and the unit in stand-by with the highest address
switches ON (FIFO logic). If rotation is based on the operating hours, the unit with the highest number of operating
hours switches OFF (from those activated) and that with the lowest number of operating hours switches ON (from
those in stand by).
The units in stand-by can also be activated before normal rotation elapses, if the following events occur:
• A black-out occurs in one of the activated units or it is disconnected from the P-LAN, or it is set to OFF via a
keyboard or a digital input.
• One of the activated units signals a SERIOUS alarm.
• One of the units is completely switched OFF due to an alarm (e.g. fire/smoke, air flow, etc.).
The logic will try to activate the same number of units in stand-by as those affected by the above conditions (if
available). When the problem is resolved, the previously activated unit/s will return to their stand-by mode.
6.20.1 Forced by temperature

This function starts-up a unit in stand-by as support if one of the activated units has problems controlling the thermal
load. The force adjustment parameters, particularly those below, can only be set on the unit with address 1:
• Force differential
• Force offset
• Force delay time
Different parameters and times can be set for heating and cooling.
Heating Cooling

Temp. set-point
Heat band Cool band Ambient T

caldo

Figure 6-148
56
If an activated unit detects an increase in the return temperature, which exceeds the higher and lower thresholds
(force differential +/- set-point), a unit in stand-by is forced until the temperature returns within the force limit -/+ the
force offset.
6.20.2 Stand-by mode

Once the network is configured with "n" units and the rotation time is set to 0 on the unit with address 1, this function
allows all the units on the network maintain their own "role" (rotation inhibition) in non-alarm conditions.
If we consider an example with a P-LAN network consisting of two units, one of which in running mode and the other
in stand-by, the unit that switches ON first is always in running mode, the second is always in stand-by and the “role”
of the machines is maintained constant. The unit in stand-by only enters operation mode due to an alarm being
triggered on a unit in running mode or the high temperature alarm threshold being exceeded.
6.21 Distributed Control

This function replaces the Master/Slave configuration.
The type of settings for the P-LAN network is the same as that of the Running/Stand-by configuration: the number of
units on the network is set together with those in rotation and in stand-by. The new feature pertains to the
temperature that the units refer to: this must be the average of all the temperatures measured locally by the units in
running mode (that in stand-by must not be included). Therefore, all the activated units operate in the same mode,
i.e. all in cooling or post-heating mode, etc. A differential must be set between the return temperature of the
individual unit and the average value calculated, which when exceeded the unit operates autonomously. There is
one differential for cooling and one for heating.
This is suitable for well balanced systems as well as unbalanced premises (hot spots).
There is another function which, once the high temperature alarm threshold value is exceeded, the unit/s in stand-by
are activated and operation complies with that described for the units in running mode (refer to the measured
average temperature).
The same type of operation is also set to control the humidity when required.
When the distributed control mode is activated in CW units together with the external chiller set-point compensation,
the average humidity and temperature is noted together with the operating mode of the unit with address 1 (since all
units on the network are the same from this aspect, the external chiller must be piloted from one single unit).
6.22 Operation based on time bands

An integrated clock allows the user to set the time, date and day of the week and enable start-up/shutdown functions
according to pre-set time bands or associate a different temperature and/or humidity set-point to each time band.
The start-up/shutdown and set-point variation time bands are separate and independent.
6.22.1 Time band start-up and shutdown

The following four time bands are identified, if enabled:
F1-1: start-up time, shutdown time

F1-2: start-up time, shutdown time
This time band involves two operating cycles in 24 hours.
00:00 24:00
F1-1 F1-2
F2: start-up time, shutdown time

This time band involves a single operating cycle in 24 hours.
57
00:00 24:00
F2
F3: fixed, the unit is always ON
00:00 24:00
F3
F4: fixed, the unit is always OFF.

00:00 24:00
F4
One of the time bands can be associated to each day of the week. Example:
Day of the week Time band

Monday F2
Tuesday F2
Wednesday F3
Thursday F3
Friday F2
Saturday F1
Sunday F4
6.22.2 Set-point variation based on time bands

4 different adjacent time zones are identified, which are associated with the start time and the relative temperature
set-point. The same can be set for humidity.
00:00 24:00
Z1 Z2 Z3 Z4
58
The diagram above can be set for the temperature and humidity set-points with the respective time bands controlled
separately.
6.23 Default programming backup
6.23.1 Saving a set of parameters

Only personnel assigned to perform tests and maintenance on the unit can create a copy of the current parameter
configuration from the Manufacturer menu. This configuration can be retrieved from the User menu.
6.23.2 Retrieving a set of parameters

The last saved configuration can be retrieved at any time from the User menu.
6.24 Fresh air damper control

An ambient fresh air damper servo controller can be managed on analogue output A06 (unless it is used for the
return valve (DC, FC, etc.).
The output can be controlled according to 2 logics:
• Fixed: an opening value (expressed in Vdc) is set and when the unit is ON, the output shall maintain the pre-
set value (constant fresh air).
• At intervals: the output opens for a pre-set time interval, at regular intervals (pause/work logic), by a
percentage equal to the opening value set in Vdc.
6.25 Air supply damper control

A servo controller can be controlled on output A05 for a non-return damper on the air supply.
This is useful in installations where several units are in operation to prevent air recirculation when the machine is
OFF.
The time that must elapse from when the unit goes ON to when the fan starts is set in the relative mask, thereby
allowing the damper servo controller to open before the fan is activated.
6.26 Refrigerant table control

One of the following refrigerants can be selected for a direct expansion unit:
• R22
• R134a
• R404A
• R407C
• R410A
• - none –
Besides the condensation pressure of each circuit, the input/output menu will also display the relative saturated
temperature (dew point if refrigerant with glide).
A refrigerant must be selected in the case of EVD drivers since the saturated temperatures are necessary to
calculate the superheat of the intake gas, starting from the pressure and temperature.
6.27 Display languages

The interface masks can be displayed in the following languages:
• Italian
• English
• French
• German
• Spanish
This is selected in the Maintenance menu. The user can also select whether the language must be reset each time
the controller is switched ON following shutdown or a blackout.

7 INPUT AND OUTPUT TABLE
The controller manages the unit via its inputs and outputs.
Various input and output configurations can be selected between Medium (M) and Large (L) boards, according to the
type of complexity of the unit to be controlled.
Direct expansion (DE) as well as chilled water (CW) air-conditioning cabinets can be controlled. The programme
recognises the type and size of the board upon start-up and consequently prepares the inputs and outputs. The
multiple names (xxx / xxx / …) indicate the various purposes for which an input or output can be used; the selection
is made via the parameters in the Manufacturer mask section.

8 INTERFACE MASKS
The interface masks allow the user to detect the unit operating status and set all the main parameters. The masks
are sorted according to a Menu and Submenu system for logically similar functions and access levels (with or
without passwords) to facilitate moving within the various pages available.
All the different masks (also referred to as pages) contain an index in the top right corner, which identifies the mask
(e.g. for correct reference).
Use the arrow keys to scroll the various masks within the same level. Press ESC to go to a higher or lower level.
Press PRG on the main mask (main menu) to enter the available submenus to set/display the parameters:
• Manufacturer
• Switch
• Maintenance
• In/Out
• Clock
• Set-point
• User
The content description/meaning of each mask/group of masks is provided immediately below each one.
Furthermore, the values entered in the various fields are standard or default values (besides those with a multiple
selection for different configurations of the units).
