PCT-3000 plus DIGITAL PRESSURE CONTROLLER FOR COOLING PLANTS

PCT plus DIGITAL PRESSURE CONTROLLER FOR COOLING PLANTS Ver. DESCRIPTION The PCT plus is a pressure controller for refrigeration plants that require control in their suction and discharge stages. With up to four internal pressure switches, it allows controlling the following types of installations: suction and discharge 2 suction and discharge suctions and discharge 2 suctions and 2 independent discharges The PCT plus has 26 digital outputs (relay), 4 analogue outputs ( ~ Vdc), 5 digital inputs (dry contact), 4 pressure inputs (4 ~ 2mA) and 6 inputs. The number of outputs for each pressure switch can be freely configured among the 26 digital outputs, while the analogue outputs are unique to each one. The four last digital outputs can be configured to work both as control stage and as alarm output. In addition to the pressure inputs, each internal pressure switch of the PCT plus uses one input. This input can be used for monitoring the of the gas lines and thus for activating low and high alarms. All pressure switches have an internal alarm interlocking in the controller, in addition to a fully configurable reset system. In addition to the four inputs the PCT plus also has two additional inputs. This two additional inputs are associated to the discharge pressure switch and allows monitoring and controlling the fluid's condensation. The five dry contact digital inputs can be used to detect external alarms and to select the day / night setpoint. Each of these inputs can be associated with one or more internal pressure switches of the PCT plus. 2 APPLICATION To be applied in complex refrigeration process control, used in compressor bank(s) (suction) and in the fan bank (discharge).

Description PCT plus can be configured to operate in four different ways. Each option is called as Operating Mode. The operating modes establish how many internal pressure switches the controller must operate, as well as which pressure inputs and inputs must be used. Depending on the operation mode, the interlocking of pressure switch alarms will change according to the groups formed by different pressure switches (alarm interlocking occurs only between same group pressure switches). The available operating modes are: One suction and : In this mode the controller will have two internal pressure switches, being one to control the compressors (suction) and another one to control the fans (discharge). The suction pressure switch uses one sensor from to psi to measure the pressure in the gas line together with an optional sensor. The discharge pressure switch uses one sensor from to 5 psi to measure the pressure in the gas line together with an optional. The discharge pressure switch has an additional option for using a second to control the condensation of the refrigerant fluid. Two suctions and : In this mode the controller will have three internal pressure switches, being two to control the compressors (suction and suction 2) and another one to control the fans (discharge). Each suction pressure switch uses one sensor from to psi to measure the pressure in the gas line together with an optional sensor. The discharge pressure switch uses one sensor from to 5 psi to measure the pressure in the gas line together with an optional. The discharge pressure switch has an additional option for using a second to control the condensation of the refrigerant fluid. Three suctions and : n this mode, the controller will have 4 internal switches, of which control the compressors (suction, suction 2 and suction ) and the other controls the fans (discharge). Each suction pressure switch will use a psi sensor to measure the pressure in the gas line, along with an optional. The discharge pressure switch will use a 5 psi sensor to measure the pressure in the gas line, along with an optional. 2

The discharge pressure switch also offers the option to use a second to control the condensing of the refrigerant. In this operation mode, suction pressure switches (P, and P) and discharge pressure switch () form a single pressure switch group. Two suctions and two discharges: In this mode, the controller will have 4 internal switches, 2 of which control the compressors (suction and suction 2) and the other 2 control the fans (discharge and discharge 2). Each suction pressure switch will use a psi sensor to measure the pressure in the gas line, along with an optional. Each of the discharge pressure switches will use a 5 psi sensor to measure the pressure in the gas line, along with an optional. Each discharge pressure switch also offers the option to use a second to control the condensing of the refrigerant. In this operation mode, suction pressure switch (P) and discharge pressure switch 2 () form the pressure switch group, while suction pressure suction 2 (P) forms the second pressure switch group along with discharge pressure switch 2 (). 6.2 Type of internal pressure switch depending on the operating mode The table below shows the function each pressure switch to control the refrigeration system. Operating Mode one suction two suction s three suctions s two discharges 6. Pressure switch groups according to operation mode ecause the switches in a cooling system operate in an interrelated manner, their pressure control logic should consider that an alarm situation in one of the switches triggers an equivalent corrective action in all other pressure switches in the same system. As PCT plus is capable of controlling up to 2 different cooling systems, Pressure Switch Groups were created to represent all internal pressure switches that belong to the same cooling system. The table below shows the pressure switch groups that each operation mode will have, noting that interlocking in case of alarm will occur only between same group switches. Operating Mode one suction two suction s three suctions s two discharges P P Group Group Group Group Internal pressure switch P P Suction Suction Suction Suction Discharge Suction Suction Discharge Group Group Grupo Group Group Group Group 2 Group Group 2 6.4 Abbreviations and colors of the internal pressure switches depending on the operating mode PCT plus uses a color system to quickly identify which internal pressure switch is being viewed. This color system is the same for all operating modes and can be observed in the indicating leds of the display and outputs. Green Internalpressureswitch Yellow Internalpressureswitch2 Violet Internalpressureswitch lue Internalpressureswitch4 esides the indication of colors, PCT plus also uses abbreviations in the display to indicate which internal pressure switch certain information refers to. These abbreviations do not account for the type of pressure switch (suction or discharge) and thus they are the same for all indication modes. The function of the abbreviations shown below is only to indicate the number of the internal pressure switch. P Internal pressure switch Internal pressure switch 2 P Internal pressure switch Internal pressure switch 4 Discharge Suction Suction Internal pressure switch Discharge Discharge For a more complete indication with the type and number of the pressure switch, PCT plus uses the codes presented in the table below.as these abbreviations indicate the type of pressure switch, they are different for each operating mode. Operating Mode one suction three suctions two discharges Operating Mode PRES (psi) ~ ~ ~ ~ Internal pressure switch P P S S S S D S2 S2 D Pressure input (psi) ~5 ~ ~ ~5 D S S2 PRES (psi) ~5 ~ ~ D D2 These are the most used indicators on the controller screen; however, users must be aware that, depending on the operation mode, a particular abbreviation may be associated with different internal pressure switches, for instance: abbreviation S2 in operation mode 2 suctions / discharge refers to internal pressure switch 2 (), whereas in operation mode 2 suctions / 2 discharges, S2 refers to internal pressure switch (P). 6.5 Link of each sensor input to each type of internal pressure switch depending on the operating mode The table below shows how the sensor inputs are linked to the internal pressure switches. For cases where no link exists, the sensor input is not used and thus no connection to a sensor is required.

For more information on this procedure, go to Advanced parameter menu Access code Operating mode setting in this manual. When setting the operating mode, PCT plus will save the default values for all functions in the internal memory. Therefore it is essential to set the operating mode before starting to set the parameters of the product. 4

PCT plus reserves the outputs in increasing order of the internal pressure switches (P,, P and ). For the first pressure switch (P), the outputs are reserved starting from OUT, for the second pressure switch (), starting from the last P output and so on. 7.5 Analogue outputs The four analogue outputs (AN,AN 2,AN andan 4) will always be used with the respective pressure switches (P,, P and ). Thus each pressure switch uses only a single analogue output. The analogue output can control a frequency inverter to change the capacity of a compressor or fan in order to provide a more efficient control of the plant. 7.6 Alarm outputs The four last digital outputs (OUT 2, OUT 24, OUT 25 and OUT 26) can be used as alarm outputs. The configuration of these outputs as alarms is done together with the operating mode setup. If only one alarm is configured, the last output (OUT 26) will be reserved. If two alarms are configured, the two last outputs (OUT 25 and OUT 26) will be used, and so on.

Pressure control PCT plus pressure control system has an option to control variable capacity compressors and fans by activating digital outputs or using the analogue output. Using the analogue output the compressor is controlled by means of a frequency inverter and the capacity is directly modulatedbythecontroller. Inthecaseofactivating bythedigitaloutputs, thecompressors mustbefittedwithcapacity valves (unloaders) orthe fans must be fitted with auxiliary devices (evaporative system). First we have to establish a nomenclature for the components to understand better the operation of the logic of the variable capacity compressors and fans using the digital outputs. Master stage: It is the output connected directly to the motor of the compressor, i.e. it is the stage that switches the compressor / fan on or off. Slave stage: It is the output connected to the device that changes the capacity of the master stage (unloader or fan auxiliary). One master stage may have slave stages or not. If there are no slaves the compressor / fan will not have variable capacity. If there are slaves, they may be present in any number. One slave stage can only be activated when the master is already active and one master stage can only be deactivated when all its slaves are switched off. Total power in HP: It is the total power of the master stage together with the slave stages expressed in HP, i.e. it is the maximum power that the compressor / fan can exert on the refrigeration system. Portion of the total capacity: It is the portion of power that each stage (master and slave) contributes to the total power in HP. The portions of the capacity are adjusted in percentage (%) levels. Thus the sum of the value of the master and the values of the slaves for a same compressor / fan must be %. The possible combinations in PCT plus pressure control are adjusted by the parameters "Type of control of the digital outputs" and "Type of control of the analogue output". The possible combinations are: Control only by the digital outputs Control only by the analogue output Mixed control by the digital outputs and analogue output Types of control only by the digital outputs Configuring the type of digital control as on and the type of analogue control as off, the pressure control will be performed only by the digital outputs. The possible control methods under these conditions are: Digital outputs in linear mode Digital outputs in rotation mode Digital outputs in capacity mode Digital outputs in linear mode The digital outputs will be used in this control mode, and thus the controller will assume only the hysteresis value configured in the function: "digital output hysteresis". The controller will add digital outputs (master and slaves) as the pressure deviates from the setpoint. The activation point for each output is calculated in accordance with the hysteresis value and the number of stages (master and slave) configured. Example: Setpoint: psi of the digital output: 2 psi Number of master stages: 4 Number of slave stages: 2 Configuration of the stages: OUT Compressor (master ) Unloader (slave of master ) OUT Compressor (master 2) Unloader (slave of master 2) OUT 5 Compressor (master ) OUT 6 Compressor (master 4) Activation step of the digital outputs of the digital output Step = Number of master and slave stages Pressure for activating output "N" Activation = Setpoint + (N x Step) Pressure for deactivating output "N" Activation = Setpoint + (N x Step) In this example the total of digital outputs is 6 (4 master and 2 slave). Thus the step of each digital output is 2 psi (2 psi divided by 6). The first digital stage will be activated when the pressure reaches 2 psi (setpoint plus step), the second at 4 psi (setpoint plus 2 times the step), the third at 6 psi (setpoint plus times the step), and so on. Please note that at 22 psi (setpoint plus digital hysteresis) all digital outputs will be on. G Language It allows adjusting the language of the controller between Portuguese, English and Spanish. 7
