PURPOSE
The Purpose of this document is to provide a framework for programmers of Innotech Direct Digital Controls (DDC) which details the minimum requirements for functions and concepts to be incorporated and how those functions are to be programmed in a standard manner.

2.

SCOPE
This document applies to all new Innotech DDC control strategies. Individual site and HVAC plant specific requirements may necessitate the addition of some functions such as lead / lag changeovers etc., however, the programming methodology, minimum required functions and standard look and feel should not require significant change. Retro upgrading of existing DDC programs should be considered at such times when this can be undertaken cost effectively. Note that in some cases existing older controls and system resources may not allow for full retro implementation. The document uses hyperlinks and colour.

PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL
For conceptual illustration, the control system described is based on a networkable Direct Digital Controller (DDC) serving a 4 stage HVAC system with Economy Cycle Cooling (ECC). This control strategy concept can be applied to other DDC systems and plant configurations. Where Economy Cycle Cooling is not employed, the description of mechanical cooling control is still applicable and can be adapted to systems incorporating fewer or greater than four cooling stages as described here. Some functions included for illustration (such as Fire and VESDA status inputs and alarms) may be applicable to specific projects or required by regulatory code or Telstra Standards on an individual installation basis. Where these functions are not required by specification they should be deleted from the final control strategy. Ensure all control strategies are compliant with Fire & VESDA standards C9-2 & E10-1. Note that all program blocks are to be discretely named and a printed copy of the as installed control program, block details and wiring diagram must be included in O&M manuals. Text blocks should be used to label programming functions and provide detail regarding any variation to standard such as inclusion of time delays etc.

4.2.

HVAC ENABLE
Generally, the Air-conditioning Unit will run continuously. A Master On/Off switch accessed via the front panel of the Controller (Watch page 1) can be used to stop the unit from running. An airflow switch in the supply air ductwork confirms the supply air fan status. Once the fan is requested and the status is confirmed as running, the automatic control functions are enabled (Control Enable). If the fan status is lost, the control functions are disabled. If the supply air fan is called to run and no fan status has been received by the duct mounted air-flow switch after a 60 second delay period, a Supply Air Fan fault will be displayed on the LCD of the Controller. This fault will be displayed as SAF Fault.

4.3.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
If the automatic control functions are enabled, the controller responds to its discrete temperature sensor (or the averaged value or high signal select input as appropriate where multiple sensors are specified and installed) to maintain a target long term average room temperature of 250C. As the space temperature rises above a nominal 24.50C set-point, the four compressors will be cycled through a single Cooling PID loop with a nominal proportional band of 2.50C. For all cases Integral and Derivative values will both be 0% Individual Hysteresis blocks and values as below are provided for each cooling stage. With nominal set-point and proportional band values as above, the four compressors will be cycled in the following manner to maintain conditions i. ii. Compressor 1 On 25.1C (25% output) Off - 24.6C (5% Output) Compressor 2 On - 25.7C (50% Output) Off - 25.1 C (25% Output)

iii. Compressor 3 On - 26.3C (75% Output) Off - 25.7C (50% Output) iv. Compressor 4 On - 26.8C (95% Output) Off - 26.3C (75% Output)

Figure 2: Temperature Control Compressor Cycling

Time delay blocks are not incorporated into the temperature controlled cooling sequence unless these are a necessary replacement for absent electrical / mechanical start delay or short cycle timers within the HVAC plant. For systems incorporating fewer or greater than 4 stages, the above staging schedule and proportional band should be amended as required to maintain an average long term temperature of 250C while maintaining the main control point values e.g. 2 stage cooling Compressor 1 on at 50% output and Off at 5% output, Compressor 2 On at 95% output and Off at 50% output. Limits are placed on the User Temperature Set-point so this cannot be adjusted below 24C or above 28C. For maintenance purposes a Unit Test Mode soft switch (User Variable) is provided via Watch Page 1, which operates the plant at a reduced control set-point between 18C and 22C (User adjustable) for a set time of 20 minutes.

ECONOMY CYCLE
(Where specified for inclusion) The Economy Cycle is enabled by an Enthalpy Comparator mode. If the Ambient Enthalpy is 1 KJ/Kg below the Return Air Enthalpy the economy cycle will be enabled to operate. If the Ambient Enthalpy rises to equal the Return Air Enthalpy then the Economy Cycle will be disabled. Where specified, a VESDA or Fire Alert will inhibit operation of the economy cycle. Further interlocks for the economy cycle to be enabled are as follows: Ambient Humidity Low Limit > 20% High Limit < 80% Ambient Temperature Low Limit >5C High Limit <25C These operating parameters are established through the use of Hysteresis blocks.

4.4.2. ECONOMY CYCLE ENABLE SENSIBLE TEMPERATURE

(Where specified for inclusion) The Economy Cycle is enabled by a Temperature comparison mode. When the ambient temperature is a minimum 1C below return air or conditioned space temperature the economy cycle will be enabled to operate. If the ambient temperature rises to equal the return air or conditioned space temperature then the Economy Cycle will be disabled. No Relative Humidity sensing or limits are included in a sensible temperature enabled Economy Cycle system. Further interlocks for the economy cycle to be enabled are as follows: Ambient Temperature Low Limit >5C High Limit <18C (to a maximum of 23 C in some nominated colder climates) These operating parameters are established through the use of Hysteresis blocks.

4.4.3. ECONOMY CYCLE CONTROL

(Enthalpy or Sensible temperature models) When enabled by the above conditions, the economy cycle is ready to be controlled. If the Return Air Temperature rises above a nominal set-point (named ECC Low Limit), of 20C the economy cycle dampers will modulate through a proportional band of 3C. That is, at a room temperature of 20C the ECC fresh air make-up and spill air dampers would have modulated to the fully closed position with the return air damper fully open. At 23C the ECC fresh air make up and spill air dampers would have modulated to the fully open position and return air dampers would be fully closed. Limits are placed on this Set-point (ECC Low Limit) so this cannot be adjusted below 18C or above 20C. The control strategy shall also include a Test Mode Function of 5 minutes duration operated via a soft switch grouped with other ECC functions. This test mode will operate all ECC dampers to their fully on position. An automatic timer function (ECC Damper maintenance) will operate all ECC dampers to their fully functioning positions each Monday from 2:00 am to 2:05 am. This is to reduce the incidence of dampers seizing after long periods of inactivity.

SENSOR ALARMS
If any outside air sensor output is below 1% or above 85% of normal full scale output and if this condition is sustained for a continuous period of greater than 168 hours, a latched alarm within the DDC is to output the warning Check OA Sensor to the display panel. This latched alarm should not lock out the economy cycle as under some conditions e.g. prolonged rain periods, a false alarm might be generated. The purpose of this flag alarm is to alert maintenance operators that the outside air sensors should be checked for operation / accuracy. A soft switch alarm reset must be provided within the DDC.

COMFORT CONTROLLED AREAS

(Offices, Lunch rooms etc.) Where controlled supply air dampers or stand alone HVAC plant are provided to office or other areas conditioned for human comfort only, then for each independently conditioned space, an On/Off user variable soft switch will be provided and HVAC will be enabled via individual discrete time control functions activating operation during normal business hours only (nominally 7:30 am 5:00 pm MonFri). A physical push button will be provided which enables cooling for a 1 hour period outside normal business hours. A separate independent cooling set point and PID block will be provided with a limited user input range of 23C to 28C. The controlled dampers or mechanical cooling will modulate though a 1 deg proportional band.

4.7.

HEATING CONTROL
In limited cases where heating is provided for human comfort in office spaces etc. for each independent conditioned space, a Heating Enable on/off user variable soft switch will also be incorporated. Heating will be controlled via a discrete time control block activating the heating function during normal business hours only (nominally 7:30 am 5:00 pm Mon Fri). A separate independent heating PID block will be enabled after confirmation of Supply Air Fan Status (Control enable). The user input set-point range will be limited to 18C to 22C. Note that this provides a minimum 1C difference between the maximum heating and minimum cooling independent set-points to avoid heat/cool conflicts.

4.8.

FAULT HANDLING
System faults within the DDC should be logged and display if in alarm but should not latch (with the exception described under Economy Cycle). DDC configurations should inhibit the running of any component in fault condition but automatically reset when a fault clears without requiring a hard reset. This does not apply to hardware faults such as HP/LP and motor contactor overloads etc. Treatment of these faults should be specified elsewhere.

4.9.

WATCH PAGES
The following system data is displayed via the DDC watch pages. Any repetitive display is deliberate in order to maintain logical grouping of data. Flash page and Watch page 1 are mandatory but some additions or deletions to subsequent pages may be necessary dependant on the program configuration. The assignment of all data should follow a logical grouping. Where a watch page is left totally blank through deletions then all subsequent watch pages move up 1 designation. Typical Layout Flash Page Control Enable Status Supply Fan Status Return Air or Room Temp (Controlling temperature point)

APPLICATION RULES
The control strategy and functions described are applicable to Innotech Maxim and Genesis series direct digital controllers. Individual site and HVAC plant specific requirements may necessitate the addition of some functions such as Supply Air Fan damper control, Toilet Exhaust Fan control or load shedding of some mechanical cooling capacity during Emergency Power Plant operation etc. However, the programming methodology, minimum required functions and standard look and feel should not require significant change. This document applies to all Telstra sites where any HVAC plant is controlled by an Innotech DDC. This does not apply to small individual modular HVAC plant such as IVTRES or Emerson TEX plant which is delivered and installed with an integrated pre programmed Innotech DDC.
