conguration
pRack PR100 manages 35 possible system congurations, with up to
2 suction lines and up to 2 condenser lines, on individual boards or on
more than one board connected in a pLAN network.
The conguration of the inputs and outputs therefore varies according to
the selected system conguration.

Note: Each input/output can be fully congured, with the only limits
being set by the system conguration; for example, the suction pressure
probe on line 1 can be congured on any one of the analogue inputs that
is compatible with the type of probe on the pLAN board with address 1.
pRack PR100 also provides fourteen congurations pre-loaded in the
software. These congurations are complete with all the parameters
need to start the unit. For the details on the pre-congurations available,
see the Quick Guide +040000070.

Digital outputs
Important: The outputs can be divided into groups, depending on the insulation distance. The relays belonging to the same group have basic
insulation between each other and therefore must have the same power supply (24 Vac or 110 to 230 Vac). Between groups there is double insulation
and consequently these may have dierent voltages.

Important: the groups that the digital outputs are divided into have two common pole terminals to simplify wiring. Make sure that the current
running through the common terminals does not exceed the rated current of an individual terminal, that is, 8 A.
To connect the digital outputs use a cable with minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm2.
The following rules must be observed for the SSR digital outputs, otherwise they may be damaged:
control only resistive loads with a maximum power of 10 W;
to control inductive loads, use an external relay;
to power resistive loads or the external relay use the same power supply as pRack Compact (terminals G-G0) that must be dedicated and not
common with other devices (in the case of external SSRs the voltage supplied by pRack to the +Vdc terminal can be used, after having checked
the maximum current draw of the active probes and the SSRs).

Important:
the 2 inputs, 230 Vac or 24 Vac/Vdc, present at terminals J8 (ID13, ID14) have the same common pole and therefore must be set to the same voltage (230

insulation between each other and therefore must have the same power supply (24 Vac or 230 Vac). Between groups there is double insulation and
consequently these may have dierent voltages.

Important: the groups that the digital outputs are divided into have two common pole terminals to Simplify wiring. Make sure that the current
running through the common terminals does not exceed the rated current of an individual terminal, that is, 8 A.
To connect the digital outputs use a cable with minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm2.
Important: the following rules must be observed for the SSR digital outputs, otherwise they may be damaged:
control only resistive loads with a maximum power of 10 W;

to control inductive loads, use an external relay;
to power resistive loads or the external relay use the same power supply as pRack Compact (terminals G-G0) that must be dedicated and not common
with other devices (in the case of external SSRs the voltage supplied by pRack to the +Vdc terminal can be used, after having checked the maximum
current draw of the active probes and the SSRs).

INSTALLATION
3.1 General installation instructions
all the very low voltage connections (analogue and 24 Vac/Vdc digital
3.1.1
Installation procedure
Environmental conditions
Avoid assembling the pRack PR100 and the terminal in environments with the
following characteristics:
temperature and humidity that do not conform to the rated operating
data of the product;
strong vibrations or knocks;

exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres(e.g.: sulphur and
ammonia fumes, saline mist, smoke) so as to avoid corrosion and/or

oxidation;
strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (therefore avoid
installing the units near transmitting antennae);
exposure of the pRack PR100 to direct sunlight and to the elements
in general;
large and rapid uctuations in the room temperature;
environments containing explosives or mixes of ammable gases;
exposure to dust (formation of corrosive patina with possible oxidation
and reduction of insulation).
inputs, analogue outputs, serial bus connections, power supplies)

must have reinforced or double insulation from the mains network;
in residential environments, the connection cable between the pRack
PR100and the terminal must be shielded;
there is no limit to the number of cables that can be connected to an
individual terminal. The only limitation concerns the maximum current
crossing each terminal: this must not exceed 8 A;
the maximum cross-section of the cable that connected to a terminal
is 2.5 mm2 (12 AWG);
the maximum value of the twisting torque to tighten the screw on the
terminal (torque tightening) is 0.6 Nm;
Important:
Installation must be performed according to the standards and

legislation in force in the country where the device is used;
for safety reasons the equipment must be housed inside an electrical

panel, so that the only accessible part is the display and the keypad;
in the event of malfunctions, do not attempt to repair the device, but

rather contact the CAREL service centre;
the connector kit also contains the stick-on labels.
Positioning the instrument inside the panel

The position of the instrument in the electrical cabinet must be chosen
so as to guarantee correct physical separation of the instrument from
the power components (solenoids, contactors, actuators, inverters, )
and the connected cables. Proximity to such devices/cables may create
random malfunctions that are not immediately evident.
3.1.3
Anchoring the pRack PR100
The pRack PR100is installed on a DIN rail. To fasten the unit to the DIN rail,
press it lightly against the rail. The rear tabs will click into place, locking
the unit to the rail. Removing the unit is just as Simple, using a screwdriver
through the release slot to lever and lift the tabs. The tabs are kept in the
locked position by springs.
The structure of the panel must allow the correct ow of cooling air.
3.1.2
Wiring procedure
3.2 Power supply
When laying the wiring, physically separate the power part from the
control part. The proximity of these two sets of wires will, in most cases,
cause problems of induced disturbance or, over time, malfunctions or
damage to the components. The ideal solution is to house these two
circuits in two separate cabinets. Sometimes this is not possible, and
therefore the power part and the control part must be installed inside the
same panel. For the control Signals, it is recommended to use shielded
cables with twisted wires.

pRack PR100 S, M;
L, XL
(controller with terminal connected)
Power supply to

Compact
If the control cables have to cross over the power cables, the intersections
must be as near as possible to 90 degrees, always avoiding running the
control cables parallel to the power cables.
Important:
each screw and insert the cable ends, then tighten the screws. When
the operation is completed, slightly tug the cables to check they are
suciently tight;
separate as much as possible the sensor Signal, digital input and serial
line cables from the cables carrying inductive loads and power cables
to avoid possible electromagnetic disturbance. Never insert power
cables (including the electrical cables) and probe Signal cables in
the same conduits. Do not install the sensor cables in the immediate
vicinity of power devices (contactors, circuit breakers or similar);
reduce the path of the sensor cables as much as possible, and avoid
spiral paths that enclose power devices;
avoid touching or nearly touching the electronic components tted
on the boards to avoid electrostatic discharges (extremely damaging)
from the operator to the components;
if the power transformer secondary is earthed, check that the earth
wire corresponds to the wire that runs to the controller and enters
terminal G0; this applies to all the devices connected to the pRack
PR100;
do not secure the cables to the terminals by pressing the screwdriver
with excessive force, to avoid damaging the pRack PR100;
for applications subject to considerable vibrations (1.5 mm pk-pk
10/55 Hz), secure the cables connected to the pRack PR100around 3
cm from the connectors using clamps;
if the product is installed in industrial environments (application of the
EN 61000-6-2 standard) the length of the connections must be less
than 30 m;

the power supply to the pRack PR100 controller and terminal (or
pRack PR100 controllers and terminals) should be separated from the
power supply to the other electrical devices (contactors and other
electromechanical components) inside the electrical panel;
if the power transformer secondary is earthed, check that the earth
wire corresponds to the wire that runs to the controller and enters
terminal G0. This applies to all the devices connected to the pRack
PR100;
a yellow LED indicates that power is connected to the pRack PR100.
3.3 Connecting the analogue inputs

The analogue inputs on the pRack PR100 can be congured for the most
common sensors on the market: 0 to 1 V, 010 V, 020 mA, 420 mA.
The dierent types of sensors for each input can be selected by setting a
parameter on the user terminal.

If connecting the digital inputs to safety systems (alarms), remember
Tab. 3.f
3.3.6
that: the presence of voltage across the contact must be the normal
operating condition, while no voltage must represent an alarm
situation. This will ensure that any interruption (or disconnection) of
the input will also be Signalled. Do not connect the neutral in place
of an open digital input. Always interrupt the phase. The 24 Vac/Vdc
digital inputs have a Resistance of around 5 k.

Connecting the digital inputs: S, M, L, XL models

All pRack digital inputs can be powered at 24 Vac and 24 Vdc, while for
models M, L and XL only 230 Vac inouts are also available.
To maintain the optical isolation of the digital inputs, a separate power
supply must be used just for the digital inputs.
The connection diagrams shown in these gures, which while being the
more common and the more convenient, do not exclude the possibility
of powering the digital inputs independently from the power supply to
the pRack PR100.
In any case, the inputs only have functional insulation from the rest of
the controller.

The pRack PR100 features digital outputs with electromechanical relays.

For ease of installation, the common terminals of some of the relays have
been grouped together.
The following gure illustrates a connection example. If the following this
diagram is used, the current at the common terminals must not exceed
the rating (nominal current) of a single terminal (8 A).
Fig. 3.m
The relays are divided into groups, according to the degree of insulation.
Inside each group, the relays have just basic insulation and thus must have
the same voltage (generally 24V ac or 110 to 230 Vac).
Between the groups there is double insulation and thus the groups can
have dierent voltages. There is also double insulation from the rest of the
controller.

Changeover outputs
Some relays feature changeover outputs, the number of changeover
outputs depends on whether or not there are solid state relays (SSR) and
consequently varies depending on the models.

Module for converting a PWM analogue output to a liner 010

V and 420 mA analogue output (code CONV0/10A0)
The module is used to convert a PWM output (5 V pulses) to a liner 010
V and 420 mA analogue output (code CONV0/10A0).
The control Signal (at the input terminals optically-isolated from the rest
of the module) must have a maximum amplitude of 5V and a period
between 8 ms and 200 ms. The 010 V output voltage can be connected
to a maximum load of 2 k, with a maximum ripple of 100 mV.
The 420 mA current output can be connected to a maximum load of
280 , with maximum overshoot of 0.3 mA.
The mechanical dimensions of the module are 87x36x60 mm (2 DIN
modules) with IP20 index of protection.
3.6.2
Solid state relay (SSR) digital outputs
The pRack PR100 also features a Version with solid state relays (SSR) on
some models for controlling devices that require an unlimited number of
switching cycles and thus would not be supported by electromechanical
relays (e.g. screw compressor valves). They are dedicated to loads
powered at 24 Vac/Vdc with a maximum power Pmax = 10 W.
Important: the SSRs can control resistive loads powered at 24 Vac/
Vdc, maximum power Pmax= 10 W. For details see paragraph 2.2.2.
The gure shows a connection example for resistive loads.
24 Vac
Module for converting a 010 V analogue output to an SPDT

digital output (code CONVONOFF0)
The module is used to convert a 010 V analogue output to an ON/OFF
relay output. The control Signal (at the input terminals, optically-isolated
from the rest of the module), to ensure the switching of the relay from OFF
to ON, must have a maximum amplitude of 3.3 V. The relay is SPDT, with
max current of 10 A and max inductive load of 1/3 HP. The mechanical
dimensions of the module are 87x36x60 mm (2 DIN modules) with IP20
index of protection.

If the product is installed in industrial environments (application of the EN

61000-6-2 standard) the length of the connections must be less than 30
m. This length shouldnt be exceeded in any case, to avoid measurement
errors.
3.7 pLAN electrical connections

If the selected system conguration involves the connection of more than
one pRack PR100 board in a pLAN, AWG20/22 twisted pair shielded cable
must be used, with capacitance between the wires less than 90 PF/m.
The maximum length of the pLAN network is 500 m with AWG22 twisted
pair shielded cable.
The boards should be connected in parallel with reference to plug-in
connector J5 (pRack Compact) or J11 (Versions S, M, L, XL).

Important: the SSR relay load is powered at 24 Vac/Vdc, thus all the
other terminals in the group must be powered at 24 Vac/Vdc due to
the absence of double insulation within the group. Moreover, the other
terminals of the group can be powered at 110-230 Vac using a safety
transformer (Class 2).
AImportant: pLAN connections are also possible with multiple

boards powered by dierent transformers, for further details see

After having correctly installed pRack, a number of preliminary operations

are required to congure the installation.
Start up
Select Config.Item:
PRE-CONFIGURATION
Tutorial: the pRack PR100 conguration procedure varies according

to the complexity of the installation:
A. systems with only one board and maximum one external terminal.
In this case, simply connect the terminal (if not built-in), power up the
board and select one of the conguration solutions described below.
B. systems with more than one board in pLAN or two external
terminals. IIn this case, the additional operations described in
Appendix A. 2 need to be completed before proceeding with
conguration.
Choose one from the

configuration in the
list
Fig. 4.a
This solution is used to choose between fourteen congurations preloaded in the pRack PR100 software. For the description of the precongurations see the table below, while for the complete description of
each conguration see Appendix A1.
pRack PR100 automatically congures the inputs and outputs as described
in paragraph 4.1.4; for details on the inputs and outputs associated with
each pre-conguration, see the quick guide code +040000070.
The procedure for conguring an installation described below is the same

for all system congurations that feature just one pRack PR100 board,
and for system congurations with more than one board connected in
a pLAN.
When rst starting the pRack PR100 board, after waiting around 1 minute,
a screen is shown for choosing the language used to display the program
(English or Italian).
Press ENTER ( ) to change the language displayed, while pressing ESC
displays the following screen.
4.1.2

Answer the questions

to have a fully
configuration
Fig. 4.b
This solution is used to obtain the recommended conguration for the
specic installation. By responding to a series of questions, screen by
screen, the user is guided through the selection of the devices present.
Once the guided selection procedure has been completed, the end result
(report) is shown, and if the conguration is suitable the parameters to
start operation of the pRack PR100 can be installed directly, including
those associated with the inputs and outputs as described in parag. 4.1.4.
After having selected the user interface language, the pRack PR100
software shows a screen for choosing between three possible system
conguration solutions, as follows:
Pre-congurations
Wizard
Advanced conguration.
Important: after having congured the system, the conguration
can be modied, it can be modied by repeating the same
procedure, making sure the Carel default values have been reset as
described in paragraph 6.8.2.
Note: after having congured the parameters using the Wizard, the
conguration can be modied manually, within the context of the
selected system conguration.
Important: after having congured the system, power down the

controller and power up again.
Important: before starting the pRack PR100, carefully check the

settings made automatically by the software.

Advanced conguration
Note: for pRack pR100 Compact, analogue output 1 is PWM / phase

control, and therefore based on the type of modulating devices selected,
pRack pR100 assigns the correct output and generates a warning
message if this is not possible. For example, if the compressors use an
inverter and the fans use phase control, pRack pR100 Compact assigns
analogue output 2 to the compressor inverters and analogue output 1 to
the fan modulating device.

For very expert users
Fig. 4.c
This solution is used to establish the conguration of the pLAN structure
required for correct system operation.
Once the procedure for selecting the various factors that aect the nal
conguration has been completed, the pRack PR100 software veries
whether the pLAN conguration is exact and prepares the user interface
for conguration of the parameters that need to be set manually by the
user.
Important: this conguration solution is only recommended for
expert users, as all the system parameters need to be set manually.
4.1.4
Associating the inputs and outputs
When using pre-congurations and the wizard, pRack pR100 can

automatically associate the boards inputs and outputs with the various
functions.
For the wizard only, after having congured the lines, automatic association
can be chosen as an option. If choosing not to use this function, the I/Os
need to be congured manually, according to requirements.
The criteria applied for automatic association are described below.
Digital outputs
pRack PR100 assigns in order:
Compressor outputs: rst the SSR outputs for screw or Digital Scroll
then the starting outputs, the capacity control valves and the inverter,
if present
Fan outputs
Global alarm.
Digital inputs
High and low pressure switches (HP and LP)
Compressor alarms
Fan alarms
Note: pRack PR100 can also use certain analogue inputs as digital
inputs, nonetheless the common HP and LP pressure switches are
always associated with actual digital inputs.
Analogue inputs
Pressure or temperature control probes for 1 or 2 lines, according to the
settings made. The types of probe asSigned as default are 420 mA
or 0 to 5 V (rst 420 mA, then 0 to 5 V if necessary) for the pressure
probes, NTC for the suction temperature probes and HTNTC for the
condensing temperature probes;
Suction temperature probe on line 1: if possible this is associated with
input B3, otherwise the rst free input;
Discharge temperature probe on line 1;
Suction temperature probe on line 2;
Discharge temperature probe on line 2.
Analogue outputs

Outputs)
The parameters are grouped by type of access, rst User then
Maintenance then Manufacturer
The most frequently used parameters are indicated rst, the less
frequently used are last
Each user only sees the parameters and menu items that are available
for that access level
Only the screens and parameters corresponding to the selected
system conguration are visible, that is, corresponding to the devices
congured. The exception to this rule involves the screens relating to
functions that can be enabled/disabled (e.g. set point compensation),
which are visible even when disabled.

FUNCTIONS
pRack PR100 can manage up to 2 suction lines and 2 condenser lines. Many of the functions described in this chapter apply in the same way to all the lines
(e.g.: control, rotation), while others apply in the same way to the suction lines (e.g.: oil management). The exception involves the generic functions that
apply, irrespective of line, suction or condenser, to pRack boards with pLAN addresses from 1 to 4.
Where not expressly indicated or where it is clear that the description refers to one specic line rather than another (e.g.: compressor or fan management),
the descriptions are considered as being common to all lines; any specic Situations are described on a case-by-case basis.
Below is a chart of the main functions described and their eld of application:

The functions are described in detail in the following paragraphs.
6.1 Unit On-O
Nota: Certain special conditions or functions in the pRack software

cause the unit to shutdown:
Conguration of some parameters: e.g. inputs/outputs, conguration
of compressors, inverter parameters.
Installation of default parameters
Manual management
The unit can be switched on and o from:

User terminal
Supervisor
Digital input
On-o from the user terminal and the conguration parameters are
available under the main menu, branch A.c, and are dierentiated based
on the access level; the User password allows display only.
6.2 Control
On-o from the supervisor and from the digital input and start-up after
a blackout (with specic delay, to avoid continuous starts and stops in
the event of instability in the power supply) must be enabled using the
parameters visible only with the Manufacturer password.
pRack PR100 can manage two types of control:

Proportional band (P, P+I);
Neutral zone (xed times, variable times).
Both types of control can be applied to both compressors and
condensers, according to the settings dened during start-up or in main
menu branches C.a.b/C.b.b and D.a.b/D.b.b.
On-o from the digital input is equivalent to an enabling Signal, that is, if
the digital input is O the unit cannot be switched on in any other way,
while if is On, the unit can be switched on or o in any other way, with
the same priority (the most recent control has precedence, whatever the
origin), as shown in the gure:
The type of control chosen is independent for each line present, either
suction or condenser.
In addition, pRack PR100 can use as the reference for control either the
pressure or the converted temperature, or the temperature read by probe
if there is no pressure probe, even if reference is only made to pressure
below.
Digital Input

Supervisor
The control set point can be compensated by an oset linked to digital

inputs, probes, supervisor or time bands, for details see paragraph 6.5
relating to compressor and fan energy saving.
Unit On/Off
Both types of control are described below, and are valid for both control
of suction pressure and condensing pressure, and operation with backup
probes and/or probes not working.

When there are two suction and condenser lines, on-o is independent
for each line, while when there are two suction lines and one condenser
line, it is independent for the suction lines, while the condenser line stops
when both suction lines are o, and starts when at least one suction line
is on.

Inside the neutral zone the capacity request sent by the controller is
constant (except when there is a modulation device and modulation is
enabled inside the neutral zone, as described in the following paragraph)

As well as the decrease and increase dierentials, 4 times need to be set,
two for each zone, which represent the maximum and minimum time
to reach the request, equal to 0% or 100%, for the decrease and increase
respectively.
Note: the set point is in the centre of the activation band, therefore
when reaching the set point some devices are on, even with purely
proportional control.
Tutorial: the decrease/increase times (minimum and maximum)

represent the time needed to change from maximum to minimum
capacity and vice-versa, and not the time between the deactivation/
activation of the individual device. For example, in the case of 4 devices
with the same capacity, an increase time of 180 s means that one device
is activated every 45 s.

In the situation shown in the gure, the request sent by the controller
decreases/increases slowly as soon as the controlled value is outside of
the Neutral zone, while it decreases/increases quickly the further the
controlled value moves away from the Neutral zone; in this way the
response of the system is faster when further from steady conditions.
If the main control probes are not working and no backup probes are
tted, or the backup probes are also not working, or the corresponding
temperature probes are also not working, xed values are used for the
control request, set in main menu branch C.a.g/C.b.g or D.a.g/D.b.g.
Note: When using xed times, the maximum and minimum must
be set to the same value. In this case, the request sent by the
controller decreases/increases constantly inside the deactivation/
activation dierential.
6.3 Compressors
6.2.3
pRack PR100 can manage up to 2 suction lines with dierent types of

compressors and capacity modulation devices, applying common types
of device rotation and controlling both the start mode and the safety
times for each type of compressor, as well as a number of accessory
functions.
Modulation in Neutral zone
pRack PR100 can activate a specic function inside the Neutral zone if
modulating devices are used (e.g.: inverters).
The compressor functions and related parameter settings are enabled

from main menu branch C.a/C.b.
This function can be enabled in main menu branch C.a.g/C.b.g or D.a.g/

D.b.g.
These features and functions are described in detail in the following

paragraphs.
Modulation in Neutral zone is used to vary the request sent by the

controller inside the Neutral zone proportionally so as to enter the
decrease zone with the minimum request and the increase zone with the
maximum request, meaning a device can be immediately deactivated/
activated when exiting the Neutral zone.
This makes it possible to remain longer inside the neutral zone without
starting or stopping any device.
An example of this operation is shown in the gure:
6.3.1
Possible compressor congurations
pRack PR100 can manage dierent types of compressors:

Reciprocating
Scroll

Moreover, a capacity modulation device is allowed for each suction line,
which may be one of the following, according to the type of compressor:

When entering the Neutral zone, the pRack PR100 software calculates
how the request needs to change in order to exit the Neutral zone at
minimum or maximum output, and applies one of the two values
according to the trend in variation in the control variable. For example, at
point P1 in the gure, the trend of the two requests is represented by the
segments with thin lines, and the request reverses because at that point
the control variable has started increasing in value again.

enabled for of the modulating device variation speed.

The compressor size refers to its capacity and number of load stages or
to the inverter presence, therefore dierent sizes need to be dened
for compressors with the same capacity yet a dierent number of load
stages. The inverter is always associated to size 1.
Control with backup probes and/or probes not

working
pRack PR100 can use backup control probes that are activated when the
normal control probes are not working.
The backup probes must be enabled in main menu branch C.a.g/C.b.g

or D.a.g/D.b.g.
When dierent pRack boards are used to manage the suction and
condenser lines, the backup suction pressure probe must be connected
to the board that manages the suction line, while the backup condensing
pressure probe can be connected either to the board that manages the
suction line or the board that manages the condenser line.

line 2).

Rotation
6.3.3
pRack PR100 can manage 4 dierent types of device rotation:

FIFO (First In First Out): the rst device to start is also the rst to stop
LIFO (Last In First Out): the last device to start is the rst to stop
By time: the device with the least number of operating hours starts and
the device with highest number of operating hours stops
Custom: the on/o sequences are dened by the user
The type of modulating device is selected and the corresponding

parameters set during the start-up procedure or in main menu branch
C.a.f/C.b.f and C.a.g/C.b.g
Nota: Dierent Sizes of compressors can only be managed with

Custom rotation.
The modulating device is always the rst to start and the last to stop
irrespective of the type of rotation, the other devices start or stop
according to the type of rotation selected.
The type of rotation is selected and the corresponding parameters set

during the start-up procedure or in main menu branch C.a.f/C.b.f.
Note: The compressor with modulation device is also assumed to

be the rst.
The activation thresholds are calculated dierently depending on

whether FIFO, LIFO, time or Custom rotation is used:
The trend in capacity delivered by the modulation device depends on

the capacity of the compressor with the modulating device compared to
the other compressors available.

Static: the range of variation of the control request is divided equally between the number of stages available
Three cases can be identied:

of the modulating device greater than or equal to the capacity of the
compressors
compressors all with the same capacity and range of capacity variation
of the modulating device less than the capacity of the compressors
compressors with dierent capacities
Dynamic: the thresholds are calculated depending on the

capacity eectively available
Tab. 6.d
Example 1: FIFO rotation, 4 compressors of the same capacity

without load stages.
In the rst case, the modulating device manages to continuously cover

the range of variation of the control request, while in the second case
some discontinuous variations remain. The behaviour in the third case
varies according to the capacities involved, and in any case reects one
of the two previous cases.
The activation thresholds are 25, 50, 75 and 100 %.

To congure the compressor capacity when an inverter is used, the

minimum and maximum operating frequencies need to be set relating
to the minimum and maximum value of the analogue output and the
rated capacity delivered at rated frequency (50 Hz), so that the pRack
PR100 software can calculate the capacity the compressor can deliver
with the inverter and use this value for control. In addition, for inverters
the variation in capacity delivered can be limited by setting the increase
and decrease times. If these times have already been congured on the
inverter, the higher time set has priority.

Balancing
pRack PR100 can control any balance valves in parallel with the
compressors.
This function can be used to activate a communicating solenoid valve
between compressor suction and discharge, for a set time, before each
individual compressor starts. In this way, the suction and discharge
pressure can be balanced and the compressor can be started in more
favourable conditions.

Economizer
pRack PR100 can activate the economizer function to boost compressor

eciency by injecting vapour. Some of the liquid is taken from the
condenser, expanded through a valve and then sent to a heat exchanger
to cool the liquid leaving the condenser. The resulting superheated
vapour is injected into a special section of the compressor.

menu branch C.a.f.
The economizer is only ecient for high compressor activation capacities,
typically over 75 %, therefore the economizer function control valve is
only activated when exceeding a set threshold.
As the economizer tends to increase the condensing pressure, this needs
to be controlled to ensure the high condensing pressure alarm is not
generated. In addition, the injection of vapour decreases the discharge
temperature and so this value also needs to be monitored.
Consequently, the three conditions for activation of the economizer
function are:
Capacity above a set threshold
Condensing pressure below a set threshold (with reset dierential)
Discharge temperature above a set threshold (with reset dierential)

Note: the function can be activated on a maximum of 6

compressors.
For part-winding starting, the delay in activating the digital output that
controls the second winding needs to be set:

Liquid injection
6.3.10 Digital Scroll compressors
As an alternative to the economizer, pRack PR100 can manage the

injection of liquid into the compressors (the two functions are alternative,
as the point of vapour injection into the compressor is the same).
pRack PR100 can use a Digital Scroll compressor as the modulating

device for suction lines (one for each line). This type of compressor
features special operation, and is controlled by pRack PR100 as follows.
menu branch E.d.a.b/E.d.b.b.
The related parameters can be set in main menu branch C.a.f/C.b.f.

The capacity is modulated by opening/closing a valve with PWM; when
the valve is ON the compressor delivers minimum capacity, while when
the valve is o the compressor delivers maximum capacity. In the
following description and gure, ON and OFF refer to the status of the
compressor, while operation of the valve is the exact opposite:
Liquid injection is used to protect the compressor, and in fact decreases

the discharge temperature.
Operation is Similar to the economizer function, with the dierence that
the expanded liquid is not sent to a heat exchanger, but rather directly
into the compressor. The function is only activated when the compressor
is on and the discharge temperature exceeds a set threshold (with
dierential).

Enabling / disabling is used to temporarily exclude the compressors from

The following data are provided by the manufacturer of the compressor:

minimum ON time 2 s
maximum cycle time 20 s
optimum cycle time 12 s
Note: enabling is the only compressor manual operating mode

that can be activated when the unit is on.
Both manual management and the output test are enabled by parameter
and remain active for a set time after the last button is pressed, after
which the unit returns to normal operating mode.
There are three possible operating modes:

Fixed cycle time
Variable cycle time
Optimised cycle time
Manual management is used to switch the compressors on or o

without observing the control needs, however still considering any safety
devices (alarms, safety times, starting procedures) and respecting the set
conguration of the inputs/outputs.
Based on the operating mode selected, pRack PR100 calculates the valve
activation percentage that satises the required capacity.
Fixed cycle time

The compressor ON time is calculated as the percentage of the cycle time
corresponding to the required capacity:
The activation screen resembles the one shown in the gure and is used
to override the outputs relating to the operation of the selected device,
e.g. compressor 1:
Manual mng.
TON= % Richiesta * Tempo di ciclo

The cycle time can be set to the optimum value suggested by the
manufacturer to achieve maximum COP, or to a higher value to increase
resolution of the capacity delivered (a higher cycle time implies greater
continuity in the eective capacity that can be delivered).

the cycle time is set to 12 s and the ON time varies. In essence, this mode
is a combination of the previous two.
This guarantees the maximum possible COP and control rate (obtained

Screw compressors are tted with up to 4 capacity control valves
(hereinafter V1, V2, V3, V4), which can have 4 types of behaviour:
ON: the valve is open
OFF: the valve is closed
Intermittent: the valve is open/closed alternatively (around 10 to

15 s)
Pulsating: the valve is open/closed alternatively with very short

opening/closing times (around 1 to 2 s).
Note: if high pressure prevention is enabled with activation/

deactivation of the devices, the Digital Scroll compressor delivers
the minimum possible capacity.
Starting procedure
pRack PR100 can manage the specic starting procedure for Digital
Scroll compressors, as represented as in the following gure:
4s
180s
60s
50s

Important: pulsating valves must be associated with an SSR relay

output, to avoid damage.
V1, V2, V3 and V4 can be managed to obtain stage or continuous
compressor control.
Request
Valve
Stage control
For the control in stages, normally involving four load stages, 25, 50, 75,
100 %, a table needs to be created that shows the behaviour of each
valve in the dierent conditions (starting, 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, 100 %). The
gure shows one possible example (see the documents supplied by the
manufacturer of the compressor for how to complete the table):

2. compressor activation with 50 % capacity for 3 minutes;

3. forced operation at 100 % for 1 minute.
V2
V3
V4
Tab. 6.e
During the starting procedure, the request sent by the controller is

ignored and only at the end of the procedure does the capacity delivered
start reecting the request. If the request is cancelled during the starting
procedure, the compressor stops at the end, then the minimum ON time
for these types of compressors is set to 244 s.
If intermittent valves are used, the cycle time also needs to be set.
Note: normally operation at minimum capacity (25 %) is only
possible for a limited time, after which the compressor must switch
to the next stage. This function can be enabled and the corresponding
time can be set.
The starting procedure is performed when the compressor is started,

while it can be disabled for a set time by parameter for subsequent starts,
if the compressor has not remained o for a minimum set time. After this
time has elapsed the procedure is performed again during the following
start.
Continuous control
For continuous control, a table needs to be created that shows the
behaviour of each valve in the dierent conditions (start/stop, increase,
decrease, standby). The gure shows one possible example:
Note: the safety times for Digital Scroll compressors are

established by the manufacturer, and are as follows:
Minimum ON time: 244 s (starting procedure)

Minimum time between restarts: 360 s

Tab. 6.f
Alarms
pRack PR100 can manage, in addition to the common alarms for all types
of compressors (see chapter 8 for details), some specic alarms for Digital
Scroll compressors:
high oil temperature
oil dilution
high discharge temperature
These alarms are managed as specied by the manufacturer of the
compressor, and therefore pRack PR100 can only enable or disable them.
Activation of these alarms requires an oil temperature probe, which
can also be the common probe (see the paragraph relating to oil
management) and the compressor discharge temperature probe.
If intermittent/pulsating valves are used, the cycle time also needs to be

set. Intermittent valves are opened/closed for 50 % of the set time, while
for pulsating valves the opening and closing time in theory depend on
the dierence between the position of the slide and the capacity request.
As the position of the slide is generally not measurable, the variation in
the request is used to calculate the times for pulsating valves.
Note: in continuous control, operation is normally only allowed for
an undetermined time when the capacity exceeds 50 %.
Starting procedure
pRack PR100 can manage the starting procedure for the screw
compressors by considering, following the star/delta or part-winding
starting selected, a further time of operation at minimum capacity,
established by the manufacturer or set to 60 s for generic compressors.
Note: pRack PR100 does not manages the envelope for Digital
Scroll compressors and consequently there is no corresponding
alarm when operating outside the envelope.
Once the starting procedure has ended, the compressor starts varying the
capacity according to the control request and if necessary considering
the duration at minimum capacity.
6.3.11 Screw compressors

pRack PR100 can manage several series of screw compressors made by

pRack PR100 can manage - as described in paragraph 6.2 - proportional

band and Neutral zone control, by pressure or temperature.
For details on the control modes, see the corresponding paragraph, while
below is the description only of the features relating to the fans.
Tab. 6.g
Fan operation depending on the compressors

The operation of the fans can be bound to the operation of the
compressors by setting a parameter in main menu branch D.a.b/D.b.b, in
this case the fans only start if at least one compressor is on. This setting is
ignored if the fans are controlled by a dedicated pRack PR100 board and
the pLAN network is disconnected.
For manufacturers or series of compressors that are not supported, the

generic type can be used and the corresponding parameters set as
described previously..
Note: for further details on the series of compressors supported
and the related pre-congured parameters, contact Carel.
Fan operation with modulating device

If the fans are controlled by a modulating device, the meaning of the
parameters that associate the minimum and maximum values of the
devices modulating output and the minimum and maximum capacity of
the modulating device on screens Dag02 and Dbg02 is illustrated in the
following examples.
Envelope
For screw compressors, pRack PR100 can manage control of the envelope,
which can either be pre-set or dened by the user. pRack PR100 accepts
the envelope control settings for the Bitzer CSH series compressors, and
these simply need to be enabled in main menu branch C.a.g.
For all other series of compressors, the envelope can be managed by
enabling and setting all the related parameters in main menu branch
C.a.g.
Example 1: minimum modulating output value 0 V, maximum value 10 V,

minimum modulating device capacity 0 %, maximum 100 %.
The following parameters need to be set in order to manage the envelope:

Denition of the points (maximum 30)
Denition of the zone (maximum 12). Each zone can be made up of
one or more polygons (total maximum 14, which must be closed and
convex)
Denition of the behaviour of the compressor in the dierent zones
(capacity and duration)

Max capacity = 100 %

6.4 Fans

pRack PR100 can manage up to 2 condenser lines with up to 16 fans and

one speed modulation device each, applying common types of device
rotation and controlling both the starting mode and some accessory
functions.
The modulation device may be an inverter or a phase red controller.

Cut-o
pRack PR100 manages a control cut-o for the fans; functions and related
parameter settings can be enabled from main menu branch D.a.b/D.b.b.
6.4.4
The operating principle of the cut-o function is shown in the gure:
menu branch D.a.g/D.b.g.
Silencer
pRack PR100 can manage the Silencer function, used to limit fan speed at
certain times of the day or in specic conditions, enabled by digital input.
Regulation request
Enabling fan speed limitation from the digital input or based on time
bands is independent, consequently the speed is limited to the set value
when at least one of the two conditions is active.
Up to 4 activation bands can be set for each day of the week.

A percentage of the control request and a cut-o set point can be set.
When the control request reaches the set cut-o value, this value is kept
constant until the control value falls below the cut-o set point, after
which it falls to 0 % and remains there until the request exceeds the cuto value again.
6.4.2
Split condenser can be used to exclude from rotation fans whose index is:
even
odd
higher than a settable value
lower than a settable value
The function can be activated by:
time bands (winter/summer seasons)
digital input
supervisor
outside temperature (set threshold and dierential)
Rotation
pRack PR100 can manage rotation of the fans, much in the same way as
described for the compressors, therefore:
LIFO, FIFO, time, Custom rotation
Management of a modulation device on each line
Note:
The substantial dierence compared to the compressors concerns the

possibility to manage dierent capacities and load stages, which are
obviously not featured for the fans. In addition, pRack PR100 can specially
manage inverter driven fans. In fact, a multiple number of inverter driven
fans can be set.
If there is more than one fan, however the number of inverter driven fans
is set to 1, the fans are started and stopped at the same time, and the fans
will always all be at the same power.
If there is more than one inverter driven fan, as well as being able to
use an alarm digital input for each, it is assumed that the weight of the
modulating device is proportional to the number of fans, therefore the
rst case is applied, as described in paragraph 6.3.3: fans all with the same
power and modulating device power variation range greater than or
equal to the capacity of the other devices.
the split condenser function can be disabled by parameter if the high

pressure prevention function is activated (see paragraph 8.3.3). If split
condenser is disabled due to activation of the high pressure prevention
function, it remains disabled for a set time, after which it is reactivated.
split condenser cannot be enabled if there is a speed modulation
device that controls all the fans.
6.4.6
Manual operation
pRack PR100 can also manage the same three manual operating modes
for the fans as described for the compressors:
Enabling
Manual management
Output test
Enabling is managed in main menu branch D.a.f/D.b.f., while manual
management and the output test can be activated in main menu branch
B.b or B.c.
Example 1: 4 fans all controlled by the same inverter correspond to

1 fan with four times the power.
Note: some fans can be excluded from the rotation, for example in
the winter; to do this use the split condenser function described in
paragraph 6.4.5.
For the detailed description of the three modes, see paragraph 6.3.9.
6.4.7
6.4.3
Split condenser
pRack PR100 can manage the possibility to exclude some fans from
operation, for example to reduce condenser operation in winter, using
the split condenser function.
Alarms
pRack PR100 can manage both a common alarm for the fans and separate
alarms for each fan.
Fast start (speed up)
pRack PR100 can manage the fast start function (speed up), used to
overcome the initial inertia of the fans.
When the common alarm is active the alarm is signalled, but no fan
is stopped, while for separate alarms the fan that the alarm refers to is
stopped.
menu branch D.a.g/D.b.g
For details on the fan alarms, see Chapter 8.
If speed up is enabled, a start time can be set in which the fan speed
is forced to 100%. If the outside temperature sensor is used, moreover,
a threshold can be set (with reset dierential) below which speed up is
disabled, so as to not drastically lower the condensing pressure at start-up.
Note: speed up has lower priority than the Silencer function (see
the following paragraph for the details), therefore if the Silencer
function is active, this is disabled.

6.5 Energy saving
Offset
pRack PR100 can activate energy saving functions by adjusting the

suction and condensing pressure set points.
Offset max
The suction and condensing pressure set points can be applied with two
dierent osets, one for the closing period and one for the winter period,
activated by:
Digital input
Time band
Supervisor
Offset min
Probe value
Lower value
In addition, the suction pressure set point can be modied from analogue
input, applying a linearly variable oset based on the value read by a
probe.
Fig. 6.z
6.5.2
As well as set point compensation from digital input, scheduler, supervisor

or analogue input, two further energy saving functions are available,
oating suction and condensing pressure set point.
Floating suction pressure set point
For the suction line, the oating set point is managed by the supervisor.
The suction pressure set point set by the user is changed by the supervisor
in range between a settable minimum and maximum. The operation is
illustrated in the following gure:
The functions can be enabled and the related parameters set in main
menu branch C.a.d/C.b.d and D.a.d/D.b.d.
6.5.1
Upper value
Set point compensation
Floating setpoint
Max
Compensation from digital input, scheduler or supervisor is similar for the

suction and condensing pressure set points, consequently the following
description applies to both.
Real variation
Two dierent osets can be dened, which apply to:

Closing periods, dened by the scheduler, activation of a digital input
or supervisor
Winter period, dened by the scheduler
Max variation
Min
The two osets add to the set point dened by the user when the
corresponding condition is active.
Sampling time
Example 1: closing oset 0.3 barg, winter oset 0.2 barg, suction
pressure compensation from scheduler and from digital input
activated. When the digital input is activated, for example with a day/
night function, 0.3 barg is added to the operating set point, and when the
winter period is in progress a further 0.2 barg is added. The operation can
be schematised in the following gure:
time
Fig. 6.aa
The set point is calculated by the supervisor and acquired by the pRack
PR100 controller at set intervals, the maximum variation allowed for the
set point in each sampling period can also be set; if the value acquired
diers from the previous value by more than the maximum variation
allowed, the variation is limited to the maximum value.
Digital Input
ex.: day/night
If the supervisor is disconnected, after 10 minutes (xed) the pRack

PR100 controller starts decreasing the set point with variations equal to
the maximum variation allowed each sampling period, until reaching the
minimum set point allowed with oating suction pressure.
Summer/Winter
Note: if set point compensation from scheduler, digital input or

supervisor is also active, the oset is added to the minimum and
maximum limits for the oating set point.
Setpoint
User setpoint +0,5 barg
time
Fig. 6.y
Note: the same digital input is used for set point compensation on
each line, so if suction and condensing pressure set point
compensation is activated by digital input, both compensation functions
are active at the same time.
Compensation from analogue input only applies to the suction pressure
set point and can be enabled separately.
If compensation from analogue input is enabled, a oset that is linearly
variable to the value read by a dedicated probe can be applied to the
suction pressure set point, as shown in the gure.

6.5.3
If a digital output and just one pump is used, the fan and the pump are
activated/deactivated at the same time:
Floating condensing pressure set point
For the condenser line, the oating set point is based on the outside
temperature. The oating condensing pressure set point is achieved by
adding a constant programmable value to the outside temperature and
limiting the resulting value between a settable minimum and maximum,
as shown in the gure:

If a digital output and two pumps are used, the operation of the fan and
the rst pump is Similar to the previous case, while the second pump
is activated when the oil temperature is greater than the set point +
dierential for a time at least equal to the delay, and is deactivated when
the oil temperature falls back below the set point minus the dierential.
time
Fig. 6.ab
Note: if set point compensation from scheduler, digital input or
supervisor is also active, the oset is added to the minimum and
maximum limits for the oating set point.
The oil level can be managed for the rst 6 compressors on each suction
line. If a compressor alarm is congured as an oil alarm, this alarm can
be associated with oil level management, enabling the function and
setting the compressor alarm number to be used: when the digital input
associated with the alarm is activated (this thus Signals the low oil level),
a valve is activated with intermittent operation to restore the level, with
opening and closing times that can be set. If after a set time, the digital
input is still active, that is, the minimum level has not been reached,
pRack PR100 Signals an alarm and stops the compressor.
6.6 Accessory functions

pRack PR100 can manage several accessory functions. Of these, the
economizer and liquid injection have already been described in paragraph
6.3 on compressor operation, while the others are described below.
6.6.1
Line oil management

pRack PR100 features an alarm digital input for each line; this is with
Signal only, that is, has no eect on the operation of the devices.
For details on this alarm see chapter 8.
Oil management
pRack PR100 features oil management for the individual compressors, as

well as common management for each line:
Individual compressor: oil alarm, high oil temperature, and, for screw
compressors only, oil warning, oil cooling and oil level
Line: common oil alarm, high oil temperature warning, oil cooling
menu branch E.a.a/E.a.b or C.a.e/C.b.e (for the individual compressor
alarms).
For all types of compressors, a common oil cooler can be managed for
each line; the operation of this is Similar to the cooler for each individual
compressor described previously.
Note: for screw compressors, if common cooling is selected,
cooling for each compressor cannot be activated.
Individual compressor oil management

For the description of the oil alarm and warning corresponding to the
individual compressor see Chapter 8.
6.6.2
For screw compressors, an oil cooler can be managed for each compressor,
made up of a heat exchanger, a fan and 1 or 2 pumps.
The operation of the cooler varies according to the setting of the output,
which may be:
Analogue: one pump only
Digital: 1 or 2 pumps
In the rst case, subcooling is calculated as the dierence between

the condensing temperature (obtained by converting the condensing
pressure) and the liquid temperature measured after the exchanger.
The corresponding output is activated below a set threshold, with xed
dierential.
The control probe is the compressor oil temperature probe, and the
following need to be set: set point, dierential and, for 2 pumps only, an
activation delay for the second pump. The operation of the cooler when
using an analogue output is shown in the gure:
Oil cooler
0...10 V
Subcooling
pRack PR100 can control subcooling in two dierent ways:

If the probe is not working, pRack PR100 considers the other conditions,
without Signalling further alarms in addition to the probe alarm.
As regards activation from time bands, heat recovery does not consider

Heat recovery as the rst stage in high pressure prevention

Heat recovery can be used to prevent high condensing pressure. The
parameters relating to this function can be set in branch G.b.a/G.b.b of
the main menu, after having enabled the heat recovery function.
Note: the subcooling function is active when at least one

compressor is on.

Generic functions
pRack PR100 can use the free inputs /outputs and certain internal
variables for generic functions.
Scheduler
Important: The generic functions are available on pRack PR100

boards with pLAN addresses from 1 to 4, that is, on all boards that
manage a suction or condensing line, nonetheless only the parameters
corresponding to the functions managed by boards 1 and 2 are sent to
the supervisory system.
Supervisor
Heat reclaim
The following generic functions are available for each board:

5 stages
2 modulations
2 alarms
1 scheduler
Each function can be enabled/disabled by digital input and from the user
interface.
Fig. 6.ag
If the digital input is not congured, only the other conditions are taken
into consideration.
When the heat recovery function is active, a digital output is activated
to trigger the pump and a digital or analogue output for an On/O or
modulating 3-way valve.
For activation by probe, the operation of the On/O or modulating
3-way valve and the pump is shown in the gure, where the temperature
considered is the heat recovery exchanger outlet temperature:
Heat reclaim
by probe
The generic functions can be enabled and the related parameters set in
main menu branch E.f.
To be able to use the free inputs, these must be congured as generic
probes from A to E (analogue inputs) and generic inputs from F to J
(digital inputs), consequently a maximum of 5 analogue and 5 digital
inputs can be used. After having congured the generic probes, the
associated variables can be used as control variables and the digital
inputs as enabling variables.
Pump and ON/OFF valve
As well as the generic probes and inputs, pRack PR100 software internal
variables can be used, depending on the system conguration. Some
examples are, for analogue variables:
Suction pressure
Condensing pressure
Saturated suction temperature
Saturated condensing temperature
Suction temperature
Discharge temperature
% of compressors active
% of fans active
Superheat

For modulation a minimum and maximum value can also be set for
the output, and the cut-o function can be enabled, with operation as
shown in the previous gure.
Alarms
pRack PR100 can manage up to 2 alarm functions, with settable digital
variable to be monitored, activation delay, priority and description.
Each generic function can be associated with a digital output for the
activation of external devices when the alarm is activated.
One example of using the generic alarm functions involves detecting gas
leaks.
And for the digital variables:

High suction pressure alarm
Low suction pressure alarm
High condensing pressure alarm
Sign of life
Prevent active
Each generic function can be associated with a unit of measure and a
description. Below is a description of the operation of four types of
generic functions.
Scheduler
pRack PR100 can manager a generic scheduler that activates a digital
output at certain time bands.
Up to 4 daily time bands can be set for each day of the week, in addition
operation of the generic scheduler can be linked to the common
scheduler, and consequently the output activated based on:
summer/winter
up to 5 closing periods
up to 10 special days
See paragraph 6.7.2 for details on the time bands.
Stages
pRack PR100 can manage up to 5 stage functions, with either direct or
reverse operation. In both cases, a set point and a dierential can be set; the
operation of the corresponding output is shown in the gure for both cases:
Direct stage

ChillBooster is activated when two conditions exist:

the outside temperature exceeds a set threshold
the fan control request is at the maximum for at least a settable
number of minutes
The maximum request time starts counting again whenever the request
decreases, therefore the request must remain at the maximum for at least
the set time. Activation ends when the request falls below a set threshold.
Regulation variable
Setpoint
Fig. 6.aj
If an enabling variable has been set, the corresponding output is active if
the enabling is also active.
pRack PR100 can manage an alarm digital input from ChillBooster, the
eect of which is to deactivate the device. For details see Chapter 8.
As the number of operating hours of ChillBooster is critical as regards
formation of scale on the condenser, pRack PR100 can manage the
operating hour threshold, which should be set to 200 hours.
For each stage, a high alarm threshold and a low alarm threshold can be
set, and are absolute. For each alarm, the activation delay and priority can
be set. See chapter 8 for details on the alarms.
One example of using the generic stage functions may be activation of
the fans on the room units based on the temperature.
Hygiene procedure
To avoid water stagnation in the pipes, a hygiene procedure can be
enabled that activates ChillBooster every day for a set time, if the outside
temperature is greater than a threshold.
Modulation
pRack PR100 can manage up to 2 modulation functions, with either
direct or reverse operation.
Note: if the outside temperature probe is not congured or is

congured but is not working, ChillBooster operates based solely
on the control request, and the hygiene procedure can still be activated.
The only dierence between probe not congured and probe not
working concerns the ChillBooster operating without temperature probe
alarm, which is only generated when the probe is congured but not
working.
In both cases, a set point and a dierential can be set; the operation of
the corresponding output is shown in the gure for direct mode, with the

Double line synchronisation (DSS)
6.6.9
Liquid non-return
pRack PR100 can manage, for two line congurations, several

synchronisation functions between the two lines:
Disable simultaneous compressors starts
Force the medium temperature line on if the low temperature line is
activated
Shutdown the low temperature line if the medium temperature line
has a serious alarm
pRack PR100 can manage a digital output with the meaning of liquid
non-return. This normally active output is deactivated when all the
compressors are o and no compressor can be started due to alarms or
time settings, despite the control request, or when the unit is OFF. As soon
as at least one compressor is enabled to start, the output is deactivated,
allowing management of a liquid non-return valve. The function can be
congured in main menu branch C.a.g/C.b.g.
The three DSS functions can be enabled independently and are useful for
booster or CO2 cascade system congurations:
6.6.10 Interaction with pLoads

pRack PR100 can interact with the pLoads controller, which manages
power using a load cut-o function.
Interaction can be enabled and the related parameters set from main
menu branch C.a.d and C.b.d.
Interaction between pRack pR100 and pLoads uses digital inputs or the
supervisor. The digital inputs have higher priority, therefore if a digital
input is not active, the corresponding action is not produced even if
requested by the supervisor.
Two of the free digital inputs on pRack pR100 can be congured for
connection to two pLoads outputs, with each input being assigned one
of the following actions:
No action. Activation of the digital input has no inuence on control.
Capacity limited to the current value. Activation of the digital input
limits the maximum control request; capacity can be reduced from
this value by the controller, but cannot exceed the current value at the
moment the digital input was activated for the entire time it remains
active, as shown in the gure:
T
P
Fig. 6.al
Important: in the pRack PR100 software assumes that the medium
temperature line is line L1, while the low temperature line is line L2.
DSS can be enabled and the related parameters set in main menu branch E.h.
Disable simultaneous starts

Disabling simultaneous compressor starts may be useful for all
system congurations with two separate lines and in cascade system
congurations.
The function to avoid simultaneous starts can be enabled, setting a delay
time between the starts of compressors on dierent lines.
Regulation request

Digital input
Forcing the medium temperature line

Forcing the medium temperature line may be useful for cascade
system congurations and involves, once enabled, forcing at least
one compressor on medium temperature line L1 to start at minimum
capacity, if at least one compressor on low temperature line L2 is running.
This means that before the low temperature line starts, the DSS function
forces at least one of the compressors on medium temperature line L1
to start. The low temperature line L2 thus has higher priority than the
control request for medium temperature line L1.
time
Fig. 6.am
Capacity limited to a % value, settable by parameter. As in the previous

case, the control request is limited at the top end, however to a xed
value set by parameter.
Decrease capacity by a % value, settable by parameter. Activation of
the digital input reduces the control request by a xed value set by
parameter, as shown in the gure:
Shutdown the low temperature line

The low temperature line is shutdown by the DSS function if a serious
alarm is activated on the medium temperature line, or, in general, if the
medium temperature line is OFF.

digital input
By suitably setting this parameter based on system conguration,

one compressor can be shut down; for example if there are three
compressors, by setting the decrease to 33%, activation of the input
stops one of the three compressors. Compressor shutdown and
restart respect the safety times.
46
ENG
The digital inputs congured are common to both lines, while for each
line a dierent action can be associated with the same digital input.
The following functions allow the setting of time bands:

Split-condenser: the function is active only based on the operating
seasons, and consequently special days, closing periods and daily time
bands are ignored.
Silencer: the function is only active with daily time bands, there is no
link to operating seasons, special days and closing periods
Heat recovery: the function is active with daily time bands, special
days and closing periods, no link to operating seasons. The link to the
general scheduler can be disabled, considering the time bands only.
Set point compensation: active with operating seasons, special days,
closing periods and daily time bands (two dierent osets).
Generic functions: the generic scheduling function is active with the
operating seasons, special days, closing periods and daily time bands.
Operation of the generic functions can be separated from the generic
scheduler, considering the daily time bands only.
For details on the functions that use time bands, see the corresponding
paragraphs.
In any case, the previous actions do not interfere with the pRack pR100
safety features, which always have priority over the actions set from
digital input.
Moreover, a suction pressure safety threshold has been introduced,
therefore the actions associated with the inputs are only enabled if the
pressure does not exceed this threshold (settable by parameter). After
the pLoads action has been disabled, it is necessary that the suction
pressure returns below the safety threshold for a setted time (higher than
30 s), before restoring the interaction between the two devices, so to the
regulation can be stabilize.
6.6.11 Power consumption

pRack PR100 can calculate power consumption for the current day and
the previous day.
The calculation can be enabled and the related parameters set from main
menu branch C.a.d and C.b.d.
6.8 Managing the default values
To calculate power consumption, the current draw is measured via an

analogue input, while the type of load, rated voltage and displacement
can be set by parameter.
pRack PR100 can manage two dierent sets of default values:

user defaults
Carel defaults
The two functions can be activated in main menu branch I.d.
The calculation starts at 00:00 every day and continues until 24:00, when
the value from the previous day is overwritten with the new calculated
value.
Important: after having reset the default values, the pRack PR100
board need to be switched o and on again.
The supervisory system can use the two values, current days consumption
and previous days consumption, for power consumption analysis.
6.8.1
6.7 Settings
6.7.1
All the set values are saved, therefore loading user defaults restores the
exact same conditions that the pRack PR100 controller was in when the
data were saved.
Clock
pRack PR100 features an internal clock with backup battery that keeps
the time and date for all related functions (see Chapter 2 for details
relating to the hardware).
Note: only one user default conguration can be saved, therefore

when the data is next saved, this overwrites the previous data.
The date on pRack PR100 can be set as follows:

day, month, year (dd/mm/yy)
month, day, year (mm/dd/yy)
year, month, day (yy/mm/dd)
The current date and time can be set, the day of the week corresponding
to set date displayed, plus changeover to daylight saving can be enabled
by setting the changeover date and the deviation.
Important:
the Carel default reset procedure totally deletes the pRack PR100
permanent memory, and consequently is an irreversible operation;
the user values cannot be reset after updating the software on the
pRack PR100, nonetheless see Chapter 10 for details on how to save
the parameters for versions dierent of the software.
The related parameters can be set during start-up or in main menu

branch F.a.
Note: the date and time are managed on pRack boards with
addresses 1 and 2; on power-up and whenever the pLAN network
is reconnected, the software on pRack synchronises the settings on board
2, sending the date and time set on board 1.
6.8.2
Resetting the Carel default values
The Carel default values are shown in the Parameters table in Chapter 7.
The values pre-set by Carel can be installed at any time, restoring the
pRack PR100 default settings, and requiring the startup procedure
described in Chapter 4 to be repeated.
If the clock card is not operating, an alarm is generated and the functions
relating to the time bands described in the following paragraph are not
available.
6.7.2
Saving and resetting the user default values
pRack PR100 can save the exact conguration set by the user inside the
instrument, allowing it to be recalled at any time.
Important: the Carel default reset procedure totally deletes the

pRack PR100 permanent memory, and consequently is an
irreversible operation; nonetheless, the user settings can still be restored
if these have already been saved. Given that pRack PR100, following the
installation of the Carel default values requires the startup procedure to
be repeated, select the rst pre-conguration and then restore the user
defaults.
Time bands
pRack PR100 allows the operating seasons, the closing periods and
weekends to only be set once, and consequently these are common to
all the system functions.
As well as these settings, each function can be associated with a weekly
scheduler, setting up to 4 dierent daily activation bands for each day
of the week. For each time band, the start and end time can be set and
settings made can be copied to the others days of the week.
Note: to complete a new conguration procedure as described in

Chapter 4, rst restore the Carel default values.
The priority of the schedulers, from lowest to highest, is:

weekly scheduler
closing periods
special days
For example, if the weekly scheduler requires activation of a function,
yet a closing period is in progress, and requires deactivation of the same
function, then the function is deactivated.

8. ALARMS
pRack PR100 can manage both alarms relating to the status of the digital
inputs and to operation of the system. For each alarm, the following are
controlled:
The actions on the devices, if necessary
The output relays (one global and two with dierent priorities, if
congured)
The red LED on the terminal and the buzzer, where present
The type of acknowledgement (automatic, manual, semiautomatic)
Any activation delay
8.1.3
by pressing the
(Alarm) button and then

(Enter) when there are
no active alarms
by pressing
(Enter) after having scrolled all the alarms.
The alarm log screens show:
Order of activation (no. 01 is the oldest alarm)
Hour and date the alarm was activated
Short description
Main values recorded at the moment the alarm was activated (suction
pressure and condensing pressure)
Note: A maximum of 50 alarms can be logged; after this limit any
new events overwrite the oldest ones, which are therefore deleted.

The complete list of alarms, with the related information as described

above, is available in Appendix A.4.
8.1 Alarm management

All alarms feature the following behaviour:
When an alarm is activated, the red LED ashes and the buzzer is
activated (where present); the output relays corresponding to the
global alarm and to any alarms with priority are activated (if congured)
8.2 Compressor alarms

The number of alarms for each compressor can be set during the
conguration phase using the Wizard or subsequently from branch C.a.e/
C.b.e of the main menu. The number of alarms is the same for all the
compressors on the same line.
Pressing the
(Alarm) button, the red LED stays on steady, the buzzer

is muted and the alarm screen is shown
If there is more than one active alarm, these can be scrolled using
(Up)
(Down). This condition is signalled by an arrow at the bottom
right of the screen
Alarms
Pressing the
(Alarm) button again for at least 3 seconds

acknowledges the alarms manually, and these are cleared from the
display unless others are active (they are saved in the log)

3
Priority
For certain alarms, the alarm output relay can be set with two types of
priority:
R1: serious alarm
R2: normal alarm
The corresponding relays, once congured, are activated when an alarm
with the corresponding priority occurs.
For the other alarms, the priority is xed and is associated by default with
one of the two relays.
8.1.2
Log
The alarm log can be accessed:

from branch G.a of the main menu
Fig. 8.a
Note: The maximum number of alarms that can be congured for
each compressor depends not only on the type of compressor, but
also on the size of pRack and the number of compressors tted.
After having selected the number of alarms (maximum 4 for the
reciprocating or scroll compressors and 7 for screw compressors), the
settings can be congured for each alarm, choosing a description from
the options shown in the table, the output relay, the type of reset, delay
and priority. The eect of the alarm on the devices is set and involves
stopping the compressor, except for the oil warning.
Acknowledgement
The alarms can have

acknowledgement:
manual,
automatic
or
semiautomatic
Manual: the alarm is acknowledged by pressing the
(Alarm)
button twice, the rst time displays the corresponding alarm screen
and mutes the buzzer, the second (extended, for at least 3 seconds)
cancels the alarm (which is saved in the log). If the alarm is still active,
acknowledgement has no eect and the signal is shown again.
Automatic: when the alarm condition ceases, the alarm is automatically
reset, the LED comes on steady and the corresponding screen remains

displayed until the

(Alarm) button is pressed and held; the alarm is
saved in the log.
Semiautomatic: acknowledgement is automatic, until a maximum
number of activations in set time. If the number reaches the maximum
set, acknowledgement becomes manual.
For manual acknowledgement, the functions associated with the alarm
are not reactivated until acknowledgement has been completed, while
for automatic acknowledgement theyre reactivated as soon as the alarm
condition ceases.

After having selected the generic description, no other description can
be selected. In general, the descriptions are divided into four groups:
generic
others (overload, oil, high pressure , low pressure)
screw rotation
oil warning
After a description has been selected for a certain group, descriptions
from a dierent group can not be selected for that alarm.
For example, generic only, or overload + oil, or rotation only or overload +
high pressure., etc. can be selected.
8.3 Pressure and prevent alarms

pRack PR100 can manage pressure alarms from a pressure switch or
probe, according to the following diagram.
Alarms from pressure switch:
Low suction pressure
High condensing pressure
Alarms from probe:
Low suction pressure
High suction pressure
Low condensing pressure

One possible example for the low pressure alarms is shown in the gure:
Each alarm will have one alarm screen, which will show all the descriptions
associated to that alarm.

In addition, the high pressure alarm features a prevent function, available
by manually overriding the devices as well as using additional functions,
such as heat recovery and ChillBooster.
Operation of the alarms and prevent function is described below.
8.3.1
Pressure alarms from pressure switch
The parameters corresponding to these alarms can be set in branch

G.c.a/G.c.b of the main menu.
Low suction pressure from pressure switch

The low suction pressure alarm from pressure switch has the eect of
stopping all the compressors without observing the various times,
therefore when the digital input congured as low pressure switch
is activated, all the compressors on the line aected are stopped
immediately.
This alarm features semiautomatic reset, and both the monitoring time
and the number of activations in the specied period can be set. If the
number of activations is higher, reset becomes manual.
In addition, the delay after which the alarm is activated on both start-up
and during operation can be set.
The delay at start-up only applies to unit start-up and not compressor
power-up.
Tab. 8.b
Note: for oil alarms, special management is available whereby the

alarm is interpreted as an oil level alarm. When the alarm is
activated, a number of attempts are made to restore the level for a set
time before the alarm is signalled and the compressor stopped; see
paragraph 6.6.1 for details.
High condensing pressure from pressure switch

The high condensing pressure alarm from pressure switch has the eect
of stopping all the compressors without observing the various times
and forcing the fans on at maximum speed, therefore when the digital
input congured as high pressure switch is activated, all the compressors
on the line aected are stopped immediately and the fans operate at
maximum output.
If a modulating device is used for the compressors, further alarms

become available:
compressor inverter warning, common for the entire suction line,
when the device is an inverter
oil sump temperature alarm, high discharge temperature and oil
dilution, for Digital Scroll compressors
This alarm features manual or automatic reset, as congured by the user.

The delay after which the alarm is activated can also be set
For each compressor, two alarm variables are sent to the supervisor, one
for each priority. As well as the alarm signal, the description of the alarm is
also sent to the supervisor, using the values shown in the table:
The supervisor can interpret the variables sent by pRack PR100 and
provide the correct description of the alarm.

8.3.2
Prevent by activating heat recovery

The parameters corresponding to this function can be set in branch
G.b.a/G.b.b of the main menu, if the heat recovery function is present.
Pressure alarms from probe
The parameters corresponding to these alarms can be set in branch

C.a.e/C.b.e of the main menu for the suction pressure and D.a.e/D.b.e for
the condensing pressure.
As well as enabling the function, an oset from the activation threshold

for the prevent by overriding devices function must be set. The activation
dierential for this function is the same as set for the prevent by overriding
devices function.
For these types of alarms, reset is automatic and the activation threshold
and dierential can be set, as well as the type of threshold, which may be
absolute or relative to the control set point. The gure shows an example
of setting the threshold to relative.
When reaching the threshold, pRack PR100 activates the heat recovery
function, if the conditions allow; see paragraph 6.6.3 for details.

The eect of this type of prevent action is to force all the fans on at
maximum and switch all the compressors o, except for the minimum
capacity stage, ignoring the control times but observing the compressor
protection times. The minimum capacity stage means one compressor in
the case of compressors without capacity control and modulation devices,
or the minimum capacity stage for capacity-controlled compressors (e.g.
25%), or alternatively the minimum output of the modulation device in
the case of inverters, Digital ScrollTM compressors or screw compressors
with continuous modulation.
As well as the activation threshold, which is always absolute, and the
activation dierential, a compressor deactivation time can be set,
corresponding to the time needed to switch o all the compressors,
except for the minimum capacity stage.
In addition, both the monitoring time and the number of activations in
the specied period can be set. If the number of activations is higher,
reset becomes manual.

9. SUPERVISORY AND COMMISSIONING SYSTEMS
pRack PR100 can be connected to various supervisory systems,
specically the Carel and Modbus communication protocols can be used.
For the Carel protocol, the PlantVisor PRO and PlantWatch PRO models
are available.
9.2 Commissioning software

pRack Manager is conguration and real-time monitoring software used
to check the operation of pRack PR100, for commissioning, debug and
maintenance operations.
In addition, pRack PR100 can be connected to the pRack Manager

commissioning software.
The software is available on the internet at http://ksa.CAREL.com in the

section download support software utilities.The installation includes,
in addition to the program, the user manual and the necessary drivers.
9.1 PlantVisor PRO and PlantWatch PRO

supervisory systems
pRack Manager can be used to set the conguration parameters, modify

the values of volatile and permanent variables, save graphs of the main
system values to le, manually manage the unit I/Os using simulation les
and monitor/reset alarms on the unit where the device is installed.
Connection to Carel PlantVisor PRO and PlantWatch PRO supervisor

systems uses the RS485 card already tted on some models of pRack
PR100. For details on the models of card available, see Chapter 1.
pRack PR100 is able to virtualise all the inputs and outputs, both digital
and analogue, therefore each input and output can be overridden by
pRack Manager.
Note: In general, the pRack boards that manage the suction lines
must be tted with the supervisor connection card, consequently
boards with pLAN address 1 or 2.
pRack Manager manages <le name>.DEV les that contain the user
parameter congurations and that can be downloaded from the pRack
PR100 board and then subsequently uploaded.
Three dierent models of PlantVisor PRO and PlantWatch PRO are

available, used to supervise system congurations with one or two lines:
L1 one line: can be used for system congurations with just one
suction and/or condenser line.
L2 one line: can be used for system congurations with two suction
and/or condenser lines, and the two suction lines are managed by
separate boards.
Two lines: can be used for system congurations with two suction and/
or condenser lines, and the two suction lines are managed by the same
board.
To use the pRack Manager program, a serial converter output RS485 with
CVSTDUTLF0 (telephone connector) or CVSTDUMOR0 (3 pin terminal)
must be connected to the board.
The connection to pRack Manager can be made:
1. Via the RS485 serial port used for the pLAN connection
2. Via the BMS serial port with RS485 serial card and activating the pRack
Manager protocol by parameter on screen Fca01 or connecting
pRack Manager and selecting SearchDevice = Auto (BMS or FB)
on the Connection settings tab. In this case, the connection is
established after around 15-20 seconds.
Important: model L2 One line must be used only in association

with model L1 One line. For supervision of system congurations
with just one line only model L1 One line can be used.
Important: the BMS serial port should only be used for monitoring
the variables, while to update the software use the RS485 serial
port dedicated to the pLAN connection.
Tutorial: the rule applied for using the models is summarised

below:
cconguration with board with pLAN address 2 separate models
conguration without board with pLAN address 2 one model only
The following gure shows an example of connection to the PC via the

RS485 serial port used for the pLAN connection
A connection example for using PlantVisor PRO and PlantWatch PRO is

shown in the gure.

10. UPDATING THE SOFTWARE
The pRack PR100 boards are supplied with the software already loaded. If
an update is required, the following can be used:
pRack Manager
SmartKey programming key
10.3 Saving parameters between dierent

software versions
The conguration parameters can be saved and loaded after having
updated the software. The update requires the les relating to the new
version being loaded (les with the following extensions: .iup, .blx., .blb,
.grt, .dev) and the connection les (les with the following extensions:
.2cf, .2ct, .2cd) for the installed version and the new version.
The connection les must be copied to the ''2cf'' directory under pRack
Manager, for example C:\Program Files\CAREL\pRackManager\2cf.
Note: The pRack PR100 software is protected by digital signature

and cannot be loaded onto hardware other than pRack PR100 (e.g.
pCO3), otherwise after 5 minutes of operation the software locks up, all
the relays open and the warning INVALID OEM IDENTIFIER is shown.
The update les are available at http://ksa.CAREL.com.
The update procedure including saving the parameters is as follows (for

details on the functions of the pRack Manager software see the online
manual):
1. Switch the unit o from the user terminal or supervisor or digital input
2. Connect the PC where pRack Manager is installed using the pLAN serial
(disconnect the terminal if necessary) and disconnect any BMS
connections
3. Start the pRack Manager software
4. In the ''Connection settings'' panel, set Baud rate to ''Auto'' and
SearchDevice to ''Auto (pLAN)'' and select the COM port under
PortNumber (if necessary, use the Wizard to detect the correct COM)
5. In Commissioning/Settings select the .2cf le relating to the version on
pRack PR100, e.g. 1.0
6. Power down pRack PR100, power up again and wait for the controller to
come On line
7. In Device Conguration read all the variables and save them to an .txt
le (required)
8. Update the software version on pRack PR100, selecting from pRack Load
the following update les and selecting ''Update graphic resources
and ''Enable zipped upload'':
.iup (maximum 2 les)
.blx
.blb
ClearAllx.dev, where x is the pLAN address of the board being
updated
9. Wait for the update procedure to end.
10. Power down, disconnect the PC and if necessary reconnect the terminal
11. Power up again and run a quick start-up procedure (pre-congurations
or Wizard, conrming the default parameters)
12. Power down
13. Reconnect pRack Manager and power up again
14. In Commissioning/Settings select the .2cf le relating to the new version
now loaded on pRack
Important: each version of the pRack PR100 software is associated

with a specic controller rmware version (BIOS), therefore if
updating the version, always check and where necessary update the BIOS
on the board. The appropriate BIOS version is supplied together with the
pRack pR100 update les.
10.1 Updating using pRack Manager

The software resident in the pRack PR100 boards can be updated from
a PC.
For the connection procedure see Chapter 9, while for further details see
the pRack Manager program online help..
Note: The pCOLoad program can also be used to update the pRack
PR100 software, however Winload cannot be used.
10.2 Updating using SmartKey

The SMARTKEY programming key can copy the contents of one pRack
PR100 board to another identical board, using the telephone connector
on the terminal (the pLAN must be disconnected).
From a PC, with the SmartKey Programmer software running, the key can
be congured to perform specic operations: acquire log les, program
applications, etc.
The SmartKey Programmer software is installed together with pRack
Manager.
The following gure shows the connection of the SmartKey to the PC
using the PCOSO0AKY0 converter.
Important: if using the BMS serial port to read/write variables,

pRack pR100 continues operating, and therefore software
malfunctions may occur. Consequently, use the RS485 serial port
provided for the pLAN connection when carrying out the software
update operations described above.
Note: to update the software without maintaining the parameter
conguration, simply complete steps 1 to 4 and 8 to 10 in the
previous procedure. In this case, the unit will need to be recongured
using the complete start-up procedure.

If the terminal detects inactivity of the entire pLAN network, that is, it does
not receive any messages from the network for 10 seconds consecutively,
it clears the display and shows the following message:
NO LINK
If the system conguration involves the connection of more than one

board in a pLAN, the addresses must be set correct before select a
solution of conguration.
For the addresses to be assigned to the pRack PR100 boards see Appendix
A.1.
Fig. A.n
pRack PR100 can use two user terminals (as well as a built-in terminal)
with addresses 31 and 32. The default user terminal address is 32, so only
if a second terminal is required must the address of this be set to 31,
as described below. The address of the terminal is also required when
having to set the address of the pRack PR100 boards, when multiple
boards are connected to the pLAN.
A.2.2
Setting the address of the pRack PR100 board
After having correctly connected and congured the pLAN network

of pRack PR100 boards, the system can be congured as described in
paragraph 4.1.
The pLAN address of the pRack boards can be set from any pGD1 terminal,
using the following procedure:
1. set address 0 on the terminal (see the previous paragraph for details on
how to set this address);
2. power down the pRack PR100 board;
3. disconnect any pLAN connections to other boards from the pRack PR100
board;
4. connect the terminal to the pRack PR100 board;
A.2.1 Setting the address of the terminal
5. power up the pRack PR100 board, while pressing the
and buttons
on the terminal together. After a few seconds the pRack PR100 board
begins the start-up sequence and the display shows a screen similar
to the one below:
The pRack PR100 user terminal is supplied with the default address 32,
allowing the terminal to be used without requiring any additional operations;
nonetheless, in order to use an additional terminal or congure the pLAN
address of the boards, it needs to be changed according to the following
procedure:
1. power the terminal via the special telephone connector;
2. press the 3 buttons, , and
together for at least 5 seconds; the
terminal will display a screen similar to the one below, with the cursor
ashing in the top left corner:

suction and condenser lines using the
Wizard
Note: if the address eld is set to 0, the I/O Board address eld is no
longer displayed, as it has no meaning..
Important
Below is a possible example of using the Wizard to congure a typical

system like the one shown in the gure, with 2 suction lines and 2
condenser lines on dierent boards:
if the settings are not made correctly, the text and the images on the
display will be displayed incorrectly and out of order.
if during this operation the terminal detects inactivity of the pRack

board whose output is being displayed, the display is cleared and a
message similar to the one below is shown.

After having answered the questions for the conguration of the second
suction line, the software then asks if there is a pLAN board dedicated to
condenser line 1. In the case shown in the example, answer NO.
The preliminary operations to be completed before conguration are as

follows:
1. with the boards not connected in the pLAN, power up the second pRack
board and set the pLAN address to 2 (for details see Appendix A.2)
2. power down and connect the two boards in the pLAN, plus any terminals,
as described in paragraph 3.7
3. power up the boards and wait for the Wizard selection screen to be
displayed
