Sequencer System Control Parameters

A sequencer uses a sensor value and compares this value to an operator defined setpoint to control the refrigera-
tion load.  This system control parameter may be a suction pressure, a process temperature or any other reading
that provides an accurate indication of the required refrigeration load.

Sequencer Staging Control

The sequencer starts and stops compressors based on operator defined parameters.  Independent parameters may
be defined for loading and unloading conditions.  The control parameters described below are modified using the
sequencer setpoints and sequencer control group select screens.

Control Setpoint -

 The control setpoint defines the desired level for the system control parameter.  The

sequencer will take action based on the difference between the system control parameter and the setpoint.

The setpoint value is also transmitted to the compressors to be used in automatic capacity control while in

the sequence mode.

Control Deadband

 - The load and unload deadbands define a zone around the control setpoint where no

staging actions will be taken. If the difference between the setpoint and the system control parameter is less

than the load or unload deadband, no staging will be performed. The deadband values for loading and

unloading are transmitted to the compressors to be used in automatic capacity control while in sequenced

mode.

Normal Bandwidth

 - The load and unload bandwidths are used to define the difference between normal

staging and fast staging.  If the difference between the system control parameter and the setpoint is outside

the deadband but within the bandwidth the normal stage delay is used.  If the difference is greater then the

bandwidth the fast stage delay time is used.  The normal bandwidth values for loading and unloading are

transmitted to the compressors to be used in automatic capacity control while in sequenced mode.

Normal Stage Delay

 - The load and unload normal stage delays are used to reduce unnecessary compressor

stops or starts.  The sequencer will delay this amount of time before taking action when the difference

between the system control parameter and the setpoint is outside the deadband but within the bandwidth

and the trim machine is fully loaded.  Setting the normal stage delay to zero will disable normal stage delay

staging.

Fast Stage Delay

 - The load and unload fast stage delays are used to allow quick action to be taken when the

system control parameter is far above or below the setpoint.  The sequencer will delay this amount of time

before taking action when the system control parameter is outside the bandwidth.
