Variable Frequency Drives — The evaporator fan is
controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD). The output
that normally controls the indoor-fan motor (CV/HP) en-
ables the variable frequency drive.
Thermistors — The unit control system gathers infor-
mation from the sensors to control the operation of the unit.
CONTROL LOGIC
The following describes the general control logic se-
quence of operation for CV, VAV, and heat pump units. The
initialization software in each base control module deter-
mines CV or VAV operation from DIP (dual in-line package)
switch no. 1 and thermostat or sensor (CCN) operation from
DIP switch no. 2 on the control module.
Sequence of Operation (CV or Heat Pump Units)
1. The control module is powered up.
2. All internal software parameters are initialized.
3. All alarms and alerts are cleared.
4. The Input/Output database is re-mapped for CV
operation.
5. Maximum heat stages is set to 2.
6. Maximum cool stages is set to 3.
7. DIP switch no. 3 is read. If the Switch is OPEN, the
internal flag is set for expansion board operation.
8. If thermostat operation is selected (DIP switch no. 2 set
to CLOSED), thermostat-based control is performed by
monitoring the Y1, Y2, W1, W2, and G inputs and con-
trolling the economizer, Cool 1, Cool 2, Heat 1, Heat 2,
and Indoor Fan accordingly, while maintaining required
time guards and delays when cycling equipment. The
first time after control power-up, the indoor fan is de-
layed by a random 1 to 63 seconds.
9. If thermostat operation is not selected (DIP switch no.
2 set to OPEN), occupancy state is determined based on
Time Schedules or Remote Occupied/Unoccupied in-
put. If Temperature Compensated Start is active the unit
will be controlled as in Occupied mode.
10. The occupied or unoccupied comfort set points are read.
The space temperature offset input is used, if present.
11. The appropriate operating mode and fan control is set
based on conditioned space temperature and user con-
figured set points. The indoor fan will turn ON if the
unit is in Occupied mode or if the unit is in Unoccupied
mode and the space temperature is outside of the un-
occupied comfort set points (Unoccupied Heat or Un-
occupied Cool). When the unit goes into Occupied mode,
the start of the indoor fan is delayed by a random 1 to
63 seconds. The random delay will be applied to the first
fan start after control power-up, regardless of the oper-
ating mode.
12. The space temperature is monitored against the comfort
set points and heating or cooling stages are controlled
as required.
13. If the unit is in Occupied mode, Economizer control is
performed.
14. If the unit is in Unoccupied mode, Unoccupied Free
Cooling and IAQ Pre-Occupancy purge are performed
as required.
15. If DX (direct expansion) cooling is on, Outdoor Fan Con-
trol is performed.
16. Two stages of CV power exhaust are controlled by the
economizer position or Power Exhaust Enable output based
on indoor fan state. Power exhaust operation is selected
by DIP switch no. 5.
17. The control will run Diagnostics to monitor alarms and
alerts at all times.
18. The control will respond to CCN communications and
perform any configured network POC (Product Out-
board Control) functions such as Time/OAT Broadcast
and Global Occupancy Broadcast.
19. In heat pump units, the control will monitor defrost
inputs during heating and perform defrost cycles as
required.
Sequence of Operation (VAV Units)
1. The control module is powered up.
2. All internal software parameters are initialized.
3. All alarms/alerts are cleared.
4. The Input/Output database is re-mapped for VAV
operation.
5. The maximum heat stages is set to 1.
6. The maximum cool stages is set to 6 (plus economizer).
7. The DIP switch no. 3 is read. If the DIP switch is open,
the internal flag is set for expansion board operation.
8. The control will determine if Linkage is active and if
the unit will operate in DAV mode. If yes, the local com-
fort set points will be replaced and space temperature,
return-air temperature, and occupancy status will be sup-
plied with linkage data.
9. The occupancy state is determined based on Time Sched-
ules, Remote Occupied/Unoccupied input, Global occu-
pancy, or DAV. If the Temperature Compensated Start is
active the unit will be controlled as in Occupied mode.
10. The control will set appropriate operating mode and fan
control. The Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) will be
turned ON if the unit is in Occupied mode. If the unit is
in Unoccupied mode and the space temperature reading
is available (either from sensor or DAV), the set point
temperature (SPT) is monitored against the unoccupied
heat and cool set points. The VFD is started whenever
SPT is outside of the set points (Unoccupied Heat or
Unoccupied Cool). The VFD may also be started by Night-
time thermostat via remote Occupied/Unoccupied Input
or by the Temperature Compensated Start algorithm. When
the unit goes into Occupied mode or the first time after
power-up, the start of the VFD is delayed by a random
1 to 63 seconds.
11. When the VFD is running in a normal mode, the control
will start Heating or Cooling as required to maintain
Supply-Air Temperature (SAT) at Supply-Air Set Point
plus reset. The reset value is determined by the SAT re-
set and the Space Temperature Reset algorithms.
12. When the indoor fan is ON, the Power Exhaust Enable
output will energize the external Modulated Power Ex-
haust controller.
13. When in Heating mode, the Heat Interlock Relay output
is energized to drive the VAV boxes open.
14. If the unit is in Occupied mode, Economizer control is
performed.
15. If the unit is in Unoccupied mode, the control will per-
form Unoccupied Free Cool and IAQ Pre-Occupancy
purge as required.
16. If DX (direct expansion) cooling is on, the control will
perform Outdoor Fan control.
17. The control will run Diagnostics to monitor alarms and
alerts at all times.
18. The control will respond to CCN communications and
perform any configured network POC (Product Out-
board Control) functions such as Time/OAT Broadcast
and Global Occupancy Broadcast.
