3.27.5 Calculating setpoint with step controller
The setpoint for t
c
is determined by a programmable characteristic as a function of outdoor temperature. Outdoor tem-
perature is supplied either by a PT1000 sensor connected direct to an input of the pack controller or via the CAN bus
by another pack controller in the system.

The pressure setpoint for actual control is determined from a conversion table stored in the program. Consider -
ation is given to all currently used refrigerants when converting t
c
to the corresponding pressure value (see Sec -
tion 3.6.1).
3.27.6 Condenser fan control times with step controller
If the condensing pressure rises or falls to a value outside the neutral zone, the first condenser capacity stage is im-
mediately loaded or unloaded. Every further actuation takes place only after a certain time has elapsed for loading or
unloading and the control error has exceeded a specified value (neutral zone).
The time is dependent on the actual control error. Actuation takes place in a shorter time with a large control error than
with a smaller control error. The control time is calculated as the sum of a basic time t
b
and a variable time t
v
.Differ-
entiation is made between forward and back switching of the step controller.
The variable time is inversely proportional to the control error. With maximum control error the variable time t
v
ap-
proaches zero. As the control error decreases, time t
v
automatically increases up to the specified maximum.
