Survey and function (continued)

Manual control of outputs

For service purposes the ETS-output and alarm relay outputs can be forced

However, only when regulation has been stopped.

OFF:  No override

1: Manual control via o45 is enabled

2: The alarm relay releases so that there is a connection between 24 and 25 (= alarm)

3: The alarm relay picks up so that there is a connection between 25 and 26 (= no alarm)

o18

Manual ctrl

Manual control of the ETS valve

The valve‘s opening degree can be set manually. 

However, it does require "o18" to be set to "1", "2" or "3".

This function must only be used for manual operation. It must not be used for external 

control.

o45

Manual ETS OD%

Working range for pressure transmitter

Depending on the application, a pressure transmitter with a given working range is 

used.

For the range of (-1 to 12 bar), the min. value is set to -1 bar.

o20

MinTransPres.

For the range of (-1 to 12 bar), the max. value is set to 12 bar.

o21

MaxTransPres.

Selection of control algorithm

Depending on the application, control can be carried out based on different param-

eters.

The two possibilities are shown in section "Type of regulation".

1=normal control (single loop)

2=with inner loop regulation and S4 temperature less T0 (double loop)

 Note:

* After o56 is changed, the controller must be switched off and powered up again.

o56

Refrigerant setting

Before refrigeration can be started, the refrigerant must be defined. You can select the 

following refrigerants:

7 = R13b1 

8 = R23

9 = R500

10 =  R503

11 =  R114

12 =  R142b

13 =  User-defined 

14 =  R32

15 =  R227

16 =  R401

17 =  R507

18 =  R402A

19 =  R404A

20 =  R407C 

21 =  R407A

22 =  R407B

23 =  R410A

24 =  R170

25 =  R290

26 =  R600

27 =  R600a

28 =  R744

29 =  R1270

30 =  R417A

31 =  R422A

32 =  R413A

33 =  R422D

34 =  427A

35 =  R438A

R36 = Opteon XP10

37 =  R407F

Warning

: Incorrect selection of refrigerant may cause damage to the compressor).

DO1 Alarm

Read status of alarm relay

Operating status

The controller’s operating status can be called forth by a brief (1s) activation of the 

upper button. If a status code exists, it will be shown. (Status codes have lower priority 

than alarm codes. This means that status codes cannot be seen if there is an active 

alarm code.

The individual status codes have the following meanings:

EKC State 

(0 = regulation)

S10: Refrigeration stopped by the internal or external start/stop.

Manual                      Superheat controller type EKD 316

Manual                      Superheat controller type EKD 316 

General information to MODBUS 

communication via a PLC  etc. 

* Baudrate : 19200 

* EKD Address : 240 

* Polarity A-A and B-B 

* Termination with 120 ohm resistor  

Some parameters have what is called a "config lock". This means 

that they can only be changed when the main switch of the EKD 

is set to OFF (r12 = 0). This applies for instance to the type of 

refrigerant (o30). So if you want to change the refrigerant, the 

main switch (r12) must first be set to 0, then the refrigerant type 

(o30) can be changed.

The following parameters require the main switch to be OFF:

n03 

Valve type

n37 

Max steps

n38 

Max steps/sec

o03 

Unit address

o30 Refrigerant

o56 

Regulation type

o61 

Application mode

Please refer to the manual for descriptions of these parameters.

It should be possible to change all other parameters while the unit 

is running (regulation parameters etc.).

Example:

EKD 316 as simple ETS valve driver function with the following 

settings:

 

 

ƒ

PNU  117  [0]   r12 Main switch = 0 

 

ƒ

PNU  2075  [1]   o18 Manual mode

 

ƒ

PNU  2064  [OD% ]  o45 Manual ETS OD% (replace 0-10V signal)  

 

ƒ

PNU  3032  [262]   n37 Max. steps 2620 

 

ƒ

PNU  3033  [250]   n38 Steps pr. sec 250  

 

 

ƒ

EKD 316 address : 240 

 

ƒ

PNU 2064 will go back to  0% at power off as the only one
