1 Manual + Manual Manual control via OP Manual Manual
2 Manual + Auto
Manual Start/Stop via OP and full
automatic local capacity control
Manual Auto
3 Auto + Auto
Full automatic Start/Stop and local
capacity control
Auto Auto
4 Remote + HW (cont)
Start/stop and capacity demand via
digital contacts (Hardware) from a
remote Master controller. The GSC
derives from the continuous +/- signals
the pulses for controlling the compressor
capacity (indirect).
External
External
continuous
5 Remote + HW (pulse)
Start/stop and capacity demand via
digital contacts (Hardware) from a
remote Master controller.
The Master also generates the +/-
signals as pulses for controlling the
compressor capacity directly.
External External pulses
6 Remote + HW-Loc.SP
Start/stop via digital contacts
(Hardware) from a remote Master
controller. The capacity control is based
on the local set point (OP).
External Local set point
7 Remote + HW-Rem.SP
Start/stop via digital contacts
(Hardware) from a remote Master
controller. The capacity control is based
on the remote set point (analogue
input).
External
Remote set

8 Remote + Net (cont)
Start/stop and capacity demand via
network (MPI or Profibus-DP) from a
remote Master controller. The GSC
derives from the continuous +/- signals
the pulses for controlling the
compressor capacity (indirect).
