4.5.2 Sequence Of Operation
1. When the customer enable input is ‘on’ to
start the lead unit, the chilled water pump
starter or motorized valve control point will
close and water will start to flow through the
evaporator, this will activate the flow switch.
The flow switch and water pump status are
interlocked and feedback as digital input to
the chiller and upon receipt of a valid 'on'
signal, the lead chiller will begin to execute its
running program.
2. The controller will start and load the
compressor(s), upon achieving full load; it will
send an output signal via the DBLAN to
enable second unit (lag 1)
3. The second unit will now command its chilled
water pump to start if the customer unit
enable is activated. The second chiller will
start and load the compressor(s) until it
reaches full load
4. When the second chiller or lag 1 unit reaches
full load, it will enable the third chiller.
5. The chiller will keep cascading until all chillers
on duty are at full load.
6. If the leaving water temperature falls below
setpoint, all of the chillers will begin to unload
evenly.
7. If the load drops below 45% total capacity,
delay the last unit (lag 3) will be disabled, and
the remaining three units will load up to
compensate if necessary. The pump for
chiller 4 will be shut off.
8. As the load demand falls, the lag 2 unit will be
disabled below 45% total capacity, and so on
until the load falls enough to shut off the lead
chiller.
9. Each unit in the network can monitor the
operation of other units via DBLAN. If the
master unit is having critical alarm, the lag 1
will take over as the master unit automatically.
10. In order to enable next unit, the following
conditions must met
a) LWT ≥ (LWT Setpoint + Enable Next
deadband)
b) After a enable next time delay of 3
minutes (adjustable) and
c) When the lead unit’s packaged capacity
is higher than “Next on setpoint”,
for example, WCFX2, %FLCP C1 & %FLCP C2 ≥
Next on setpoint
or it is being lockout by an alarm.
4.6 VISION 2020i LOCAL AREA
NETWORK (DBLAN)
A DBLAN network is made up of several chillers’
controller. Each unit’s controller can be
programmed and connected to the local DBLAN
network that allows multiple units sequencing
control without additional hardware.
Every DBLAN 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 identifying address
the network cannot work.
The max address number selectable is in the 1-16
for the Vision 2020i controller boards and 17-32
range for the Vision 2020i User terminal.
The three chiller unit combinations:
Controller with address of 1 connect to Terminal
with address of 17
Controller with address of 2 connect to Terminal
with address of 18
Controller with address of 3 connect to Terminal
with address of 19
