IMPORTANT: When the unit is stopping or there is a demand to stop the unit, compressors are stopped consecutively. In case
of emergency stop, all compressors are stopped at the same time.
8 - STANDARD CONTROL OPERATIONS AND OPTIONS
8.1 - Start/stop control
The unit state is determined based on a number of factors,
including its operating type, active overrides, open contacts,
master/slave conguration, or alarms.
The table given below summarizes the unit control type [ctrl_typ]
and its running status with regard to the following parameters:
■ Operating type: This operation type is selected using the Start/
Stop button on the user interface.
LOFF Local off
L-C Local on
L-SC Local schedule
Rem Remote
Net Network
Mast Master unit
■ Start/stop force command [CHIL_S_S]: Start/stop force
command can be used to control the chiller state in the Network
mode.
- Command set to stop: The unit is halted.
- Command set to start: The unit runs according to schedule 1.
■ Remote start/stop contact status [Onoff_sw]: Start/stop
contact status can be used to control the chiller state in the
Remote operating type.
■ Master control type [ms_ctrl]: When the unit is the master
unit in a two-chiller master/slave arrangement, the master unit
may be set to be controlled locally, remotely or via network.
■ Start/stop schedule [chil_occ]: Occupied or unoccupied
status of the unit.
■ Network emergency stop command [EMSTOP]: If activated,
the unit shuts down regardless of the active operating type.
■ General alarm: The unit shuts down due to failure.
8.2 - Cooling / Heating
The table below summarises the unit operation based on the
following parameters:
■ Unit On/Off status: This parameter indicates whether the unit
is shut down (not authorised to start) or in operation (authorised
to start).
■ Control type: Indicates whether the unit operates in Local,
Remote or Network mode.
■ Heating/Cooling selection in Local mode: The operating mode
is selected via the user interface (GENUNIT menu).
■ Heat/Cool switch status in Remote mode: This contact is active
only when the unit is under remote control.
■ Heat/Cool selection in Network mode: The network command
[HC_SEL] permits heating/cooling control if the unit is in
Network operating mode.

8.3 - Control interlock contact
This contact checks the status of a loop (customer safety loop).
It prevents the unit from starting if it is open when the delay at
start-up has expired. This open contact leads to an alarm shut-
down, if the unit is running (alarm 10014).
