Starting and Stopping the Compressor
The following sections describes how to start and stop the
compressor. Refer to the section corresponding to the
control method selected during configuration of the
compressor.
5.1
Analog Input
The Analog Input mode controls the compressor loading
using an analog demand signal of 0-10 VDC from an
external controller. The variable demand signal corresponds
to the range of 0-100% maximum power available.
NOTE:
The Chiller Interface interlock switch must be closed and
no errors present for the compressor to start up and run.
5.1.1 How to Start the Compressor
1.
Make sure the contact to the ‘Interlock’ input on the
Chiller Interface is closed.
Ensure that power to the compressor is OFF before
connecting wiring to the Chiller Interface module.
2.
Connect a 0-10VDC demand signal to the Chiller
Interface module.
3.
Apply a signal between 2 and 10VDC to the ‘Demand’
input. (2VDC = min kW/min speed, 10VDC = max kW
according to model capacity.)
5.1.2 How to Stop the Compressor
Decrease the demand signal to 0VDC
or
open the contact
connected to the ‘Interlock’ input on the Chiller Interface
module. The compressor will ramp down to 0 RPM and de-
levitate.
5.2
Modbus Network
In Modbus Network mode, the compressor receives a
demand from an external computer, PLC, or building
management system using the Modbus protocol on a RS232
or RS485 communication link.
NOTE:
The Chiller Interface interlock switch must be closed and
no errors present for the compressor to start up and run.
5.2.1 How to Start the Compressor
Open the “Compressor Controller” window. Click on the
“Compressor Controller Parameters” icon located below the
menu bar.
On the Compressor Control Data form, click in the Loading
Demand field and enter a value representing a percentage of
maximum power available. (The maximum power available
is dependent on the compressor model.) The compressor
will levitate and spin up. Refer to Figure 17
