CONTROLLING LOADS
15.1
THE SOLENOID VALVE
The regulation is performed according to the temperature measured by the thermostat probe that can be
physical probe or virtual probe obtained by a weighted average between two probes (see parameters
table description) with a positive differential from the set point. If the temperature increases and reaches
set point plus differential the solenoid valve is opened and then it is closed when the temperature reaches
the set point value again.
In case of fault in the thermostat probe the opening and closing time of solenoid valve is configured by
“
Con
” and “
CoF
”
parameters.
15.2
STANDARD REGULATION AND CONTINUOUS REGULATION
The regulation can be performed in two ways: the goal of the first way (
standard regulation
) is reaching
the best superheat via a classic temperature regulation obtained using hysteresis. The second way,
permits to use the valve to realise an high performance temperature regulation with a good factor of
superheat precision.
This second possibility, it can be used only in centralized plants and it is
available only with electronic expansion valve
by selecting
CrE=Y
parameter.
In any case, the regulation is performed via PI regulator that gives the opening percentage to the valve
via PWM modulation explained as follow. Opening percentage is obtained from average of Opening Time
respect to
CyP
time period like following diagram:
With opening percentage we mean percentage of cycle period where valve is open. For example, if
CyP=6s
(standard value)
by saying
: “The valve is
opened at
50%
”;
this means that the valve is opened
for
3s
during cycle period.
First kind of regulation:
In this case, the
Hy
parameter is the differential for standard ON/OFF regulation. In this case the
int
parameter is neglected. The regulation follow this diagram:
Second kind of regulation
–
Continuous regulation (only XM679K):
In this case, the
Hy
parameter is the proportional band of PI in charge of room temperature regulation and
we advise to used at least
Hy=5.0°C/10°F
. The
int
parameter is the integral time of the same PI regulator.
Increasing
int
parameter the PI regulator become slow in reaction and of course is true vice versa. To
disable the integral part of regulation you should set
int=0
.
15.3
DEFROST
Defrost starting
In any case, the device check the temperature read by configured defrost probe before starting
defrost procedure, after that:
-
(If RTC is present)
Two defrost modes are available through the “
tdF
” parameter: defrost with electrical
heater and hot gas defrost. The defrost interval is controlled
by parameter “
EdF
”: (EdF = rtc) defrost is
made in real time depending on the hours set in the parameters
Ld1..Ld6
in workdays and in
Sd1…Sd
6
on
holidays; (EdF = in) the defrost is made every “
IdF
” time;
-
defrost cycle starting can be operated locally (manual activation by means of the keyboard or digital
input or end of interval time) or the command can come from the Master defrost unit of the LAN. In this
case the controller will operate the defrost cycle following the parameters it has programmed but, at
the end of the drip time, will wait that all the other controllers of the LAN finish their defrost cycle before
to re-start the normal regulation of the temperature according to
dEM
parameter;
-
Every time any of the controller of the LAN begin a defrost cycle it issue the command into the network
making all the other controllers start their own cycle. This allows a perfect synchronisation of the defrost
in the whole multiplexed cabinet according to
LMd
parameter;
-
Selecting
dPA
and
dPb
probes and by changing the
dtP
and
ddP
parameters the defrost can be started
when the difference between dPA and dPb probes is lower than dtP for all ddP time. This is useful to
start defrost when a low thermal exchange is detected. If
ddP=0
this function is disabled;
Defrost ending
-
When defrost is started via rtc, the maximum duration of defrost is obtained from
Md
parameter and
the defrost end temperature is obtained from
dtE
parameter (and
dtS
if two defrost probes are
selected).
-
If
dPA
and
dPb
are present and
d2P=y
the instrument stops the defrost procedure when
dPA
is higher
than
dtE
temperature and
dPb
is higher than
dtS
temperature;
At the end of defrost the drip time is controlled through the “
Fdt
” parameter.
15.4
FANS
CONTROL WITH RELAY
The fan control mode is selected by means of the “
FnC
” parameter:
C-n
= running with the solenoid valve, OFF during the defrost;
C-y
= running with th1e solenoid valve, ON during the defrost;
O-n
= continuous mode, OFF during the defrost;
O-y
= continuous mode, ON during the defrost;
An additional parameter “
FSt
” provides the setting of temperature, detected by the evaporator probe,
above which the fans are always OFF. This can be used to make sure circulation of air only if his
temperature is
lower than set in “
FSt
”.
CONTROL WITH ANALOG OUTPUT (if present)
The modulating output (
trA=rEG
) works in
proportional way (excluding the first
AMt
seconds where the fans speed is the
maximum). The regulation set point is relative
to regulation set point and is indicated by
ASr,
the proportional band is always located above
SET+ASr
value and its value is
PbA
. The fan
are at minimum speed (
AMi)
when the
temperature read by fan probe is
SET+ASr
and the fan is at maximum speed (
AMA
) when
the temperature is
SET+ASr+PbA
.
15.5
ANTI SWEAT HEATERS
The anti-sweat heater regulation can be performed with on board relay (if
OA6 = AC
) or with the analog output (if
present by setting
trA = AC
). However the regulation can be performed in two ways:
Without real dew-point information: in this case the default value for dew-point is used (
SdP
parameter).
Receiving dew-point from
XWEB5000
system: the
SdP
parameter is overwritten when valid value
for dew-point is received from XWEB. In case of XWEB link is lost,
SdP
is the value that will be
used for safety.
The best performance can be obtained using probe 4. In this case, the regulation follows the chart:
Probe 4 should be placed on the showcase glass
. For each cabinet can be used only one probe 4 (P4) sending
its value to the others section that are connected to the LAN.

AMt
% of ON
In this case, the regulation is performed by switching on
and off the auxiliary relay on a 60 minutes time base. The
ON time will be the
AMt
value, so that the relay will be ON
for
AMt
minutes and OFF for
[60-AMt]
minutes.
In case of P4 error or if P4 is absent the output is at
AMA
value for the
AMt
time then the output is at 0 value for
the time [
255
–
AMt
] time performing a simple PWM modulation.

AUXILIARY OUTPUT
The auxiliary output is switch ON and OFF by means of the corresponding digital input or by pressing and releasing
the down arrow key.
