info

Program blocks are stored in the library without I/Os. Use the auto-create and auto-connect functions to create I/Os and/or to connect them to the interface blocks, e.g., R_A, CMD_B. Alternatively, take the I/Os from the folder containing the predefined I/Os in the library and/or from the plant and connect them to the interface blocks.

Function

Controls a chiller.

There are settings in the program for the nominal power of the chiller and for the transient state times (a signal that the chiller is in a transient state that blocks the logic for generating further step-up and step-down pulses for the power control and compensation) when switching on or off, e.g., 5 minutes when switching on and 2 minutes when switching off.

An interface to the control unit of the chiller (RfCrt21) enables it, sends a setpoint, and reads optional signals for fault and feedback.

info

The switch-on and switch-off sequence for the condenser, evaporator, and interface to the control unit are defined in the function block CMDSEQ_B.

This program block has the following optional functions:

Option: Condenser (3xAI, 6xBI, 1xAO, 3xBO)

Controls the inlet temperature of the condenser and sends a signal that recooling is needed (Cds21).

Option: Evaporator (3xAI, 7xBI, 1xAO, 2xBO)

Controls the outlet temperature of the evaporator (Evp21).

Option: Operating mode switch (1xMI=2xBI)

Reads the state of an operating mode switch, normally at the front of the electrical panel, and has the states "Auto", "Off", and "On".
