FIGURE 22 - CAPACITY CONTROLS SCREEN-VARIABLE SPEED MODE
OVERVIEW
This screen appears when MSSP7-Speed Control 
Mode on Capacity Control Setpoints Screen 1 is set to 
Variable. The Variable speed mode is the default mode 
and is used to provide the greatest efficiency of opera-
tion in plants where the condensing water is cooled to 
as low as 55 °F. This allows the turbine speed to be 
reduced to the minimum rated speed and the compres-
sor pre-rotation vanes to be closed completely prior 
to opening the hot gas valve. This screen is a detailed 
view of the capacity control system logic including 
various override and anti-surge control setpoints and 
parameters. It is also the gateway to screens for enter-
ing the tuning parameters of the various PID control-
lers and other setpoints pertinent to the operation of 
the capacity controls. The Auto/Manual Screen is also 
accessible from this screen. 
DISPLAY ONLY
Graphics and Animation
The arrows on the interconnecting lines indicate the 
logical direction of signal flow between the controlling 
devices. An HSR (High Select Relay) will select the 
higher of the two signals entering it and pass it on to 
the next device. An LSR (Low Select Relay) will select 
the lower of the two signals entering it and pass it on to 
the next device. The line within the relay will toggle to 
show which input is currently being selected.
Override Limit Box
This box displays parameters pertinent to the over-
ride limiting controls that take control of the capacity 
control devices during off-design operation in order to 
prevent unsafe operation and prevent the chiller from 
shutting down.  
Override Limit - Evaporator Pressure Setpoint 
Displays the present setpoint of the Evaporator Pres-
sure PID controller that is entered on PID Setup Screen 
1. If the evaporator pressure falls below this value, the 
output of this block will decrease below 100%. The 
text color changes to Yellow if this controller is active. 
Override Limit - Evaporator Pressure 
Displays the present refrigerant pressure in the evapo-
rator.
Override Limit - Condenser Pressure Setpoint 
Displays the present setpoint of the Condenser Pres-
sure PID controller that is entered on PID Setup Screen 
1. If the condenser pressure rises above this value, the 
output of this block will decrease below 100%. The 
text color changes to Yellow if this controller is active.
