Control is based on the GMC platform developed by Carrier. For the
30AWH AquaSnap PLUS inverter chiller / heat pump a new GMC board
has been developed as well as new algorithms have been implemented.
The GMC control elaborates the request from the user interface and
translates it into a message for the chiller unit control. It continuously
analyzes the water, indoor ambient conditions and the customer
requests sending updated signals to the chiller unit control.
The chiller unit control takes care of the system reliability and satises
The main ow of logic in this control is as follows: The control reads
in inputs from discrete inputs, analog inputs, communications. These
inputs are then processed by mode control. After the mode control
comes the protections that protect the unit from damage. After the
protections, the outputs are energized or de-energized. Then the loop
repeats itself.
High voltage communications is used to communicate from the GMC
the requests coming from Inverter control tuning chiller unit fan, PMV,
compressor.
The chiller unit control continuously sends back signals to the Inverter
control.

Maximum values are maximum compressor frequency allowed unless
limited by a protection or message received from the User Interface.
The User Interface can limit the maximum compressor frequency from
