3. INITIAL INSTALLATION OR UPDATING THE EPROM

The initial installation can be divided into three parts:
a) Hardware connection
AFTER MAKING SURE THAT THE MATERIAL RECEIVED CORRESPONDS EXACTLY TO THAT ORDERED, BEGIN UNPACKING AND
CONNECT THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS TO ASSEMBLE THE CONTROLLER.
The sequence of the operations is as follows:
connect the telephone cable between the user terminal and the relay board.
Insert the program eprom into the special socket .
* BE CAREFUL TO INSERT THE EPROM IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION
connect the probes and devices to the relay card, as per the input/output table on page 4
connect the power supply to the interface
connect the card in pLAN using the J11 connector
b)pLAN configuration (see chapter 8.0 pLAN network))
c) Software initialisation
SOFTWARE INITIALISATION INVOLVES SETTING THE FOLLOWING:
the control parameters (set-points, alarm thresholds, etc.)
the type of control (proportional; proportional +integral; compressor rotation, etc.)
the available devices (compressors; valves; etc.)
ALL THE SELECTED DATA IS STORED IN THE PERMANENT MEMORY SO AS TO AVOID IT BEING LOST WHEN THE UNIT IS
CLEARED.
d) Updating the EPROM program
Every time the eprom is changed, the unit must be reprogrammed. To carry out this operation select the parameter found in the M_DEFAULT
window in UNIT INSTALLATION , protected by manufacturers password.
4. REGULATION STRATEGIES
The temperature control can be of the proportional or proportional + integral type; selection is possible in the M_MANUF_PARAM2 window, "Unit
configuration under manufacturers word branch. The proportional control operates according to the difference between the temperature or
humidity requested (SET POINT) and the value actually being measured, consequently real. The P+I regulation depends on the difference
between the requested temperature and the temperature being measured and on the permanence time (the integration constant is selectable at
the M_MANUF_TIME2 window). The humidity control is only proportional.
The PROPORTIONAL BAND defines the area of the temperature / humidity control. The control effect is proportional to the deviation from the
set-point. The DEAD ZONE defines an area near the set-point in which no device is energised.

6.1. COMPRESSORS
Once started a compressor can not be stopped before 1 min. (factory-made) (MASK-SELECTABLE VALUE).
Once started a compressor can not be stopped before 6 min. (factory-made ) (MASK-SELECTABLE VALUE).
The possible starting of the second compressor can not take place within 3 min. from the starting of the first one (factory-made)
(MASK-SELECTABLE VALUE).
In the two-compressor configuration the compressor ROTATION can be selected

6.2. DEHUMIDIFICATION STOP

The HIGH-LIMIT step operates during the dehumidification as follows:
- when reaching the upper limit of the cold band (85%) the HIGH-LIMIT step is energised and stops the dehumidification.
the step remains energised up to a value of 15% of the warming band, and the dehumidification will start again only if still
requested.
6.3. NOTES ON THE ENERGY SAVING

In order to be able to exploit the Energy Saving option the following relationship has to be verified:
Tambient - Twater > (SETenergy saving + IST energy saving)
The value SET ENERGY SAVING is mask-selectable (M_MANUF_PARAM10 window in the "General parameters" branch).
If this situation is verified then the following will occur:
- if in the M_MANUF_PARAM1window ("Compressors with valve in Energy Saving") you answer yes, then the compressor steps within the band
are delayed in reference to the cold-water ramp, but only when the necessary conditions for the energy saving operation occur. In the opposite
case, namely energy saving being enabled but in the absence of the functioning conditions, the compressors operate normally.
- if you answer no in this window, then the compressor steps are eliminated and only the ramp in action is maintained in the presence of the
conditions which require that energy saving be started. In the opposite case the compressors operate normally.
6.4. MANUAL CONTROL
This part of the program allows you to manually operate the units DEVICES, thus excluding the operation of the pCO control, but maintaining the
interlock with the protections in order to ensure the security and integrity of the components being utilised.
To enable manual functioning it is necessary to carry out the operations described in the paragraph dedicated to the pCO keypad.
The manual state of the machine is identified by the appearance of the message Manual procedure on the last line of the display.
Cod. +030221401 - rel. 1.1 date 09/07/1998 11

7. HUMIDITY REGULATION GRAPH

Humidity regulation can be selected from the M_MANUF_CONF4 window in HUMIDITY CONTROL
UNIT CONFIGURAT., protected by the manufacturers password.
DEHUMIDIFICATION can be carried out:
- by means of the compressor starting (selected in the mask HUMIDIFICATION DEHUMIDIFICATION
M_MANUF_PARAM2 within the "PARAMETRI GENERAL" branch);
- with capacity control of the cold-water ramp
- through the reduction of the fan speed
- Dehumidification is enabled only if the ambient temperature falls within the
alarm limits.
FOR VALUES EXCEEDING THIS TEMPERATURE RANGE
DEHUMIDIFICATION IS INHIBITED (see graphs of the temperature control).
Humidification can be carried out through the ON/OFF control as for the
dehumidification, described above (that is a humidification step is selected in
SET BAND
exactly the same way as for dehumidification) or with the integrated-humidifier HALF OF TOTAL
control (selectable from M_MANUF_CONF4 mask, under the Unit
configuration branch, protected by manufacturers password).
7.1. Integrated humidifier control

The humidifier control standard pCO for air conditioning units manages the immersed-electrode humidifiers (to be paired with the OEM kits) , can
control all the humidifiers from 1 to 42Kg/h , three-phase single-phase, with power-supply voltage from 200 to 660 V.( 220-240 V or 380-415 V
voltages are recommended). For the regulation an eight analog-input pCO interface is being utilised along with an optional card, so as the pCO
interface can read the signal from the TAM current transducer, the conductivity-reading signal and the full sensor. The pCO, in accordance with
the current and relative humidity, controls the steam production and the working conditions of the humidifier; it also manages and signals all the
states and alarms of the humidifier.

7.2. Programming of the humidifier

Selection of the type of humidifier
To select the type of humidifier to be controlled you must properly preselect 4 parameters in the masks intended for the humidifier under the
manufacturers password:
NOMINAL C. is the nominal steam capacity or maximum cylinder delivery that is available. It is possible to preset values ranging from 1Kg/h to
42 Kg/h.
VOLTAGE is the voltage value of the power supply. It is possible to preselect values ranging from 0 to 660 V.
PHASE NUMBER is the phase number of the power supply. It is possible to preset 1 or 3 phases (single-phase or three-phase)
TAM MODEL you select the model of amperometric transformer to be utilised. By presetting 0= TAM 50, 1=TAM 100, 2=TAM 150, 3=TAM 300,
4=TAM 500 , 5=TAM 700
DRAIN ENABLING WITHOUT VOLTAGE you preset how to carry out the drainage, that is to say with the power remote control switch being
connected or disconnected.
Capacity and humidity regulation

The regulation of the humidifier steam capacity depends on:
-Humidity Regulation
-Preset capacity CAPACITY (window M_PARAM_USER4 protected by manufacturers password)
The humidity regulation is carried out by the control based on the reading of the humidity probe at a set-point and a humidity differential. The
control calculate a proportional humidity error ERP :

DIFFERENZ. UMIDIT %rH
SET-POINT
Cod. +030221401 - rel. 1.1 date 09/07/1998 14

The preset capacity is the maximum required capacity and is a value that can change between the 30% of nominal C. and the 100% of nominal
C. According to the nominal capacity, the preset capacity and the ERP proportional humidity error, the following humidifier graph will be obtained :
A 100%P_NOM
ERP = propotional humidity error

B Steam production to de obtained :
A-100%Pn
C B-50%Pn
C-30%Pn
30%P_NOM
100%ERP 10%ERP 0%ERP
The humidifier has a minimum capacity equal to the 30% of the nominal C. when the ERP = 0 and increases proportionally to the increase of the
preset capacity when the ERP=100%
Monitoring of the steam capacity and of the humidifier characteristic values

The user can verify the instantaneous steam production by checking the value present in the mask group bound to the MENU button.
Furthermore, the user will be able to monitor some characteristic values such as the feedwater conductivity, the absorbed current per phase and
the different working modes in the group of masks bound to the I/O button.
7.3. Management of the humidifier Alarms
Below the various detectable alarms are listed, together with the detection criterion and the possible corrective operations.

8. PLAN NETWORK
Every pLAN node must be addressed to be identified by the other nodes. Each address (an integer number) must be unique in the network for
avoiding messages mismatch: in case two or more nodes have the same identifing address the network cannot work.
The max address number selectable is in the 1-16 range for the Terminals and 1-16 for the pCO main boards.
I BECAUSE OF HARDWARE CHARACTERISTICS IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONNECT UP TO 16 ADDRESSES.
A example of combinations could be : 8 Terminals + 8 pCO main boards
8.1. pCO MAIN BOARD ADDRESS SELECTION

pCO main boards are addressed using the additional PCOADR0000/PCOCLKMEM0 plug-in cards. They have these part numbers:
F PCOCLKMEM0 Plug - in board for address selection plus real time clock and calendar (only for pCO n.1)
F PCOADR0000 Plug - in board for address selection (for the other pCO boards)
These boards must be present on every pCO main board for a correct networking. If the addressing board is not plugged, the pCO main board
works as stand-alone without interacting with all the others local network nodes (pCO main boards and Terminals).

5 6 7 8
Unit n.5 Unit n.6 Unit n.7 Unit n.8

Cod. +030221401 - rel. 1.1 date 09/07/1998 16
If all the dip-switches are OFF (not allowed configuration) the R-Y-G Leds are lit.
PCOADRxxxx boards have three LEDs on the top side for indicating basic node status. They are Red, Yellow and Green coloured.
LED STATUS DESCRIPTION

ON pCO main board is syncronized with all the other pLAN nodes. The node is working correctly.
GREEN
OFF pCO main board is not network conneceted or it doesn' t receive any signal from the pLAN
BLINKING pCO main board is transmitting data to other network nodes

YELLOW
OFF pCO main board is not transmitting messages
OFF No hardware and software problem

ON pCO main board software not compatible or variables database not correct
Contact Carel Service
RED
BLINKING pCO main board hardware is not compatible - RAM is smaller than 32KB. The pCO board model
is just for working in a stand-alone mode.
At the start-up all Leds are ON and after few seconds OFF again. After 5-15 secs elapse , the led configuration is among those listed above.
NOTE: If PCOADRxxxx board is removed ( or it fails ) while pCO main board is working it doesnt affect the correct program running, but the
next restart, for instance after a black out or after having replaced a board, the pCO main board doesn't recognize any address card
and it is excluded from the network system.
I For a correct pLAN working every PCOADRxxxx card must be left inserted on its own pCO main board during the run-time.
8.2. pCO TERMINALS ADDRESS SELECTION

Terminal address is programmed by means the dip-switches set on the Terminal board rear side. Dip-switches are selectable without removing
the Terminal plastic case. Ref. to the pCO main board addressing table for setting Terminal address and refer also to the picture below.
Microprocessor ON

I NOTE:
Take care in avoiding to leave all the dip switches on OFF position. In this case the network will not work properly.
Cod. +030221401 - rel. 1.1 date 09/07/1998 17

8.3. NETWORK NODES ADDRESSING PROCEDURE

After having electrically connected every node by T-DEVICES as described before, follow these stages for completing the nodes addressing
depending on the project strategy chosen.
F pCO main boards and Terminals ( if they have an external power supply) powered OFF.
F Select the pCO main board address by means of the dip switches located on PCOADRxxxxx boards looking at the above table and
instructions.
F Insert the PCOADRxxxxx card into the pin strip usually reserved for the clock board on pCO main board. Make this operation carefully for
not damaging the connectors and the boards. Touch with hands a metal case connected to earth before handling every board (see also
pCO User Manual).
F Repeat this procedure with all the other pCO main boards you are going to install into the network.
F Address Terminals using the dedicated dip switches on the Terminal rear side.
F pCO main boards and Terminals ( if they have an external power supply) powered ON. At this point all the addresses are recognized by all
the pCO main boards and Terminals.
F Now pLAN can be ready to be logically configured (see after).
NOTE:
The network nodes addressing procedure must be done and checked every time a new pCO main board or a new Terminal is linked to
the network and when a new Eprom program is installed on a pCO main board.
If the user realize to have programmed wrong addresses, the addressing procedure must be repeated from scratch.
8.4. pLAN NODES LOGIC CONFIGURATION

This chapter describes how to create logic relations among all the Terminals and pCO main boards connected - and already addressed - in
pLAN.
Before starting this procedure check that every node address is properly programmed.
This procedure can be carried out using just one Terminal, but with all the other Terminals connected to pLAN.
8.5. USER-TERMINALS LOGIC TYPES

Before describing the config. procedure , a description about the two modes how a Terminal can be configured is explained.
A pCO user-terminal in the pLAN will be considered as PRIVATE or SHARED (hardware is the same) in the pLAN strategy.
F PRIVATE pCO user-terminal
The terminal is dedicated to work with only one pCO main board.
This terminal will receive and transmit data only to one (its own) pCO main board. It means that all messages which appear on the
display and leds will be driven by one pCO main board. Every key-stroke signal will be sent to one pCO main board.
A terminal is defined as PRIVATE by the user during an initial configuration procedure ( a built-in function in BIOS firmware ). Terminal
status ( Private or Shared ) cannot be changed during the run time for avoiding any system bad working.
PRIVATE terminals can also drive ( option ) a local serial printer.
F SHARED pCO user-terminal
A SHARED terminal can be associated to two or more pCO main boards.

In a certain moment only one pCO main board can keep the shared terminal under control and sending or receiving commands to/from a
pCO terminal.
Switching a shared terminal from one to another pCO main board can be done in two ways:
F Automatically: Depending on the particular application program. The EasyTools application program, built-in the pCO main
board Eprom, can set a dedicated variable for this aim.
F Manually: Pushing dedicated keys on pCO terminal keyboard. A terminal is defined as SHARED by the user during an initial
configuration procedure ( a built-in function in BIOS firmware ) when it is possible to assign also the pCO main board associated
address.
I Max no. 3 terminals can be software-driven by only one pCO main board. Among these three terminals only one can be
assigned as SHARED. The remaining two terminals must be configured as PRIVATE.
I A SHARED and a PRIVATE Terminal must be of the same type.
Cod. +030221401 - rel. 1.1 date 09/07/1998 18

Every pCO main board up to date PRIVATE terminals indications continuously. A SHARED terminal is up to date by the pCO main board which
is keeping the terminal under control in that particular moment.
Ex:
PRIVATE PRIVATE
S
S SHARED pCO 4
pCO 1
Switching sequence
S
PRIVATE PRIVATE
pCO 2
pCO 3
In the picture above the SHARED terminal is associated to pCO main boards no. 1,2,3,4 but in this moment it is kept under control by pCO main
board no. 2. <S> is just a logic switch indicating which pCO main board is controlling the shared terminal at a certain time.
For switching to the next pCO main board :
F push keys. The switching sequence is (1--> 2---> 3---> 4---> 1--->2 ....) or
F wait for the automatic switching sequence managed by the particular application program
VERY IMPORTANT. In the application standard air conditioning + humidifier EPSTD*CZUB unit, two possibilities are given to the customer. First
one is to connect a terminal for any pCO board. Second one is to connect just a terminal (number 16) shared between all pCO boards. It could be
also possible to foresee a mixed configuration : private terminals plus a shared terminal.
8.6. pLAN CONFIGURING PROCEDURE

Follow these stages for a correct pLAN Terminals configuration. Firstly the procedure for a LCD display Terminal is described; then the one for a
LED display Terminal.
The program is stored in the Terminal microprocessor.
STAGE 1: pCO main board selection

This stage associates a pCO main board to the Terminal.
Push simoultaneously the first three keys on the upper left corner of the keyboard. Push them for at least 5 seconds.
5 sec. 6
menu
This mask appears:
Terminal Adr: nn
I/O Board Adr: 01
Terminal Adr is not changable. <nn> represents the address set on the dip-switch on the rear side of the Terminal.
I/O Board Adr field shows the pCO main board address that is connected to the Terminal.
Arrow keys: change the pCO main board address in order to connect the Terminal with another pCO main board.
If no pCO main board is connected with the Terminal a '--' is shown in place of the figure representing the pCO main
board address. Push Arrow Keys for changing it. If no pCOmain board is connected to the pLAN or no pCO main board
is addressed it is not possible to make any communication.
Enter: Exit from the STAGE 1 procedure. STAGE 2 first mask appears.
The configuration procedure is automatically cleared if no key is pushed within 15 seconds from the former key-stroke.
Cod. +030221401 - rel. 1.1 date 09/07/1998 19

STAGE 2: Selection of Terminals associated with a pCO main board.
Terminal Config
Press ENTER
to continue
Push ENTER key to Continue. A new mask appears:
P:01 Adr Priv/Shared

Trm1 09 Pr
Trm2 none --
Trm3 16 Sh Ok? No
We can now associate up to no. 3 Terminals (Trm1 , Trm2, Trm3) to the pCO main board addressed 01.
Fields LEGENDA:
P:01
Address of pCO main board connected to the Terminal. In this case the address is 01.
Trm(x):
Terminal. (x) = 3 indicates the max number of terminals (3) which can be logically related to a single pCO main board. The Terminal you are using
for configuring the pLAN could not be among Trm1/2/3 indicated on the mask: for instance it could have address 11 ( not shown in the mask ) and
not associated to pCO main board no. 01.
Priv/Shared:
Terminal attribute : PRIVATE or SHARED (see above). If the Trm1 is Shared it means that it is associated with pCO main board n. 01 and at
least to another pCO main board .
Trm2 is Private: it means that it can be associated (managed) by only pCO main board no. 01.
PROCEDURE:
Enter key: it allows to move the cursor to the mask fields , in sequence.
Arrow keys: When the cursor is positioned on the field where you are going to change an address, push arrow keys for
selecting another address.
For confirming your selection press ENTER key until the cursor is positioned on Ok? field. Push Arrow keys for selecting Y
(Yes) or N(No) and confirm pushing ENTER key.
If Yes: data are stored in the memory
If No: You can change some value that couldn' t be selected properly according with your pLAN strategy.
For exiting without storing changes into memory just wait for 30 seconds without pushing any key.
Repeat STAGE 1 and STAGE 2 for associating other Terminals to other pCO main boards present in pLAN.
TERMINAL RUNNING MESSAGES

If the pCO main board controlling the Terminal is faulty or there is some problem in communication or it was disconnected from the Terminal this
message occours:
I/O Board xx faulty
where xx stands for the pCOmain board address.

If the Terminal doesn' t receive any token message ( network syncro signal ) for at least 10 sec., this message appears on the LCD (This
message corresponds to the PCOADDxxxx Green LED OFF information.) :
NO LINK
Cod. +030221401 - rel. 1.1 date 09/07/1998 20

9. STAND-BY
The connection of pCO boards in a pLAN local network allows them to communicate with one another and exchange variables.
The main function of this exchange of variables is to allow all the units to be controlled by one single pCO terminal.
In addition, it allows the units to be rotated according to a time schedule, with the possibility to leave one of them in Stand-By, ready in the case
where one of the units in operation malfunctions. Below is a schematised diagram of the connections which need to be made.
The connection between boards in the pLAN network is made

using an AWG20/22 shielded cable, twisted pair + shield. The
boards are connected in parallel, using terminal J11 as reference.
WARNING: make sure the order of connection is respected.
The following parameters manage the rotation of the units and are present only in the screen of unit number 1. They are listed and described below.
screen M_MANUF_PARAM25 (manuf. branch). Number Units: indicates the total number of units involved in the scheduled rotation (the
number set must also take into account unit number 1).
screen M_MANUF_PARAM25 (manuf. branch). Reset Rotation: if enabled, this parameter resets the rotation; this should be set after
having completed the parameter installation procedures.
screen M_MANUF_PARAM26 (manuf. branch). Select. Hours/Minutes: determines if the rotations are performed in minutes (test only) or in
hours (normal conditions)
screen M_MANUF_PARAM26 (manuf. branch). Type of Rotation: if Cyclical the units in Stand-By follow the order 1, 2, 3...1, etc...; if
Op. Time, at the end of the rotation time the unit with the highest number of operating hours is
placed Stand-By (referred to the number of operating hours of the main fan)
screen M_MANUF_PARAM27 (manuf. branch). Test Rotation Cycle: sets the number of minutes for the rotation test
screen M_MANUF_PARAM27 (manuf. branch). Rotation Cycle: sets the number of hours of rotation in normal operation
One further parameter is however present on all units
screen M_MANUF_CONF7 (manuf. branch). Unit Configuration: sets if the unit functions alone (INDEPENDENT UNIT), that is
without being part of the rotation, or in rotation (UNIT IN ROTATION)
Cod. +030221401 - rel. 1.1 date 09/07/1998 21

After all these parameters have been correctly set, the rotation reset should be performed using the Reset Rotation parameter, and then the units
should be started.
IMPORTANT. It is good practice for the units which are part of the rotation to have sequential addresses. If, for example, an installation to be
configured with 4 units in rotation and 2 independent units, the first 4 units must have addresses from 1 to 4, and the other 2 must have
addresses 5 and 6.
When a critical alarm occurs in one of the units, this unit may continue to function and the stand-by unit is switched on. List of critical alarms :
compressor high pressure
compressor low pressure
electrical element thermal cut-out
high / low ambient temperature
high / low water temperature at outlet
faulty ambient temperature / water outlet / external air / supply air probe
high current at humidifier
no current at humidifier
no water in humidifier
eeprom malfunction
interruption to the pLAN local network
When a serious alarm occurs in one of the units, this unit is switched off and the stand-by unit is switched on. List of serious alarms:
air flowmeter
main fan thermal cut-out
fire / smoke
unit black-out
The PCOCLKMEM0 clock board installed in unit number 1 allows the cyclical rotation, the timer and the address of the unit in stand-by to be
store in the clocks buffer RAM. Following a black-out, the system recommences from the state before the black-out (same unit in stand-by, the
cyclical rotation timer does not start from 0 but rather counts the hours already passed).

- acoustically by the buzzer incorporated into the pCO relay card;
- visually by the LED lighting of the ALARM button
It is possible to recall a message relative to an alarm occurred by pressing the ALARM button. To rearm the alarms merely press the ALARM
button when an alarm window is displayed.
The alarms are divided into three categories:

12. USER INTERFACE

The user interface of this application is divided into three fundamental parts:
-A USER part, not protected by password, which allows monitoring the quantities being regulated, selecting the set-point of principal
control, displaying the active alarms and the stored alarms.
- A USER part, protected by password, which allows selecting all the control parameters of the various functions and processes
managed by the program: set-point limits, regulation differential , regulation dead zone, compensation.....; only the parameters regarding functions
enabled under manufacturers password will be displayed and consequently selectable.
-An ASSISTANCE part , protected by password , intended for the assistance, for the hour counter management of the compressors
and machine , for the calibration of the connected probes and for forcing of the relay outputs.
-A MANUFACTURER part , protected by Password , enables the configuration of the system with the selection and activation of the
functions of the devices to be controlled.
12.1. KEYPAD
The pCO is equipped with a 15-button keypad that along with the display represents the interface between the operator and the pCO system.
The keypad provides the operator with the following functions:
ON / OFF button Energises and deenergizes the unit. The unit has to be switched on by this button in order to carry out any
control, verification or operation. (See Regulation ON/OFF)
ALARM button The pressure of this button displays the first active alarm window and simultaneously it switches off the
buzzer. A second pressure of this button reactivates the alarm or the active alarm. The display of several
alarm masks can be obtained by pressing the UP / DOWN arrow buttons. If there are no active alarms in
storage, by pressing this button you go to the window NO ACTIVE ALARM.(See the regulation of the Alarms)
st buttons These buttons have a double functionality:
1) Scrolling of the mask branches; when the cursor is on the upper left
2) Increasing and decreasing the parameters or changing the values, when the cursor is at the beginning of the
parameter.
ENTER button In the value pre-setting masks, by pressing the button the first time, the cursor goes to the first parameter of
the window. When pressing again, the selected parameter is confirmed and the cursor moves to the following
parameter. Afterwards, from the last parameter you return to the position on the upper left (cursor in the
0.0 position of the display)
MENU button Go to the MAIN_MASK window
