Set Compressor Mode Command
The Set Compressor mode command is used to change the current active mode of the
compressor. Normally, only the Remote and Auto-Remote modes are used by the mas-
ter. Remote mode, when the network is in control, allows the master to provide load and
unload commands for capacity control. Auto-Remote mode allows the master to provide
the control setpoint and the compressor will load and unload to maintain the current active
setpoint.
NOTE: Some modes are only accepted if the associated options are enabled on the compressor.
Also, if the mode is changed to Local, it may not be changed back to any other mode except
by the operator at the control panel on the machine. If the mode is changed to Automatic or
Manual, compressor Start and Online commands are disabled. The compressor Shutdown
command and setpoint changes will still be allowed. When read, the current value of the
compressor mode will be returned as described in the Compressor mode Table on Page 19.
Change Compressor Capacity Command
The Change Compressor Capacity command allows the master to force the compressor
to load or unload. This command word is only processed when the compressor is in the
Remote mode. When set to 1 or 2 , the compressor will load or unload respectively until
set to 0. When read, the current value of the compressor capacity register will be
returned (1 if the compressor is loading, 2 if the compressor is unloading, and 0 if the
compressor is neither loading or unloading).
Acknowledge/Clear Active Alarm Command
The Acknowledge/Clear Active Alarm command is used by the master computer to
silence the audible alarm horn and to clear alarms from the active alarm display. After
each new alarm or failure, the first control message received with this word set will only
silence the audible alarm horn. Subsequent alarm messages will clear any alarms which
are no longer active. This command is ignored when the compressor is in Local mode.
When read, the current value of the Alarm Status will be returned as described in the See
Alarm Table on Page 18.
Change Current Setpoint Group Command
The Change Current Setpoint Group command is used to change the current active set-
point of the system (Groups 1-4).
NOTE: This may or may not actually affect the system capacity, depending on the current mode
of the compressor. For example, automatic capacity control is not performed in the
Remote, Manual, or Local modes. When read, the currently selected setpoint group will
be returned (0-3 for Suction Press Groups, 4-7 for Process Temp Groups, and 8 for
Sequenced)
