WWarning!

If it is necessary to service UNISAB II control system, the power supply to the compressor motor must be switched off at the main switch to prevent the compressor from starting up accidentally.

The UNISAB II box contains live parts, which makes it absolutely necessary to comply with the safety regulations on site.

Failure to do so may cause damage to equipment and affect personal safety. Even though the power supply to UNISAB II is switched off, some of the terminals may still be live.

Only authorized personnel is permitted to service UNISAB II. If UNISAB II is connected on a network, always be aware that the compressor can be started from REMOTE. This cannot be avoided solely by making choices on the UNISAB II display.

Emergency stop Activate the emergency stop by a light pressure and deactivate it by turning it clockwise. The emer-gency stop cuts right into the power circuit of the compressor motor guard. Activation of the emergency stop during operation will lead to immediate unloading of the motor guard while there is still power on UNISAB II. In this way it will always be possible to read the state of the compressor.

Whenever the emergency stop is activated during operation, the alarm text COMPR. MOTOR ERROR will be read on the display. Before compressor restart is possible, deactivate the alarm by means of the R key and release the emergency stop. PLEASE OBSERVE: If UNISAB II is set on REMOTE or AUTO, the compressor will restart automatically.

1. Description of UNISAB II controlThe purpose of the UNISAB II control system is to monitor, protect, control and regulate reciprocat-ing and screw compressors. Both the control box and the electrical components have been con-nected from the factory. Thus, only a few connec-tions are necessary to link the components to the electrical installations on site.

UNISAB II is programmed according to the type of compressor it is going to controls. See section Configuration.

UNISAB II contains different ways of control-ling/regulating compressor capacity according to pressure levels or temperatures. Compressor ca-pacity can be regulated both manually and auto-matically.

Furthermore, a number of limiting functions have been incorporated. In periods of overloading these limiting functions will intervene and limit compressor capacity until the situation has re-turned to normal. Consequently, the number of undesirable operational stops will be reduced as well as the need for supervision.

Compressors fitted with UNISAB II CONTROL can be linked via the built-in communication sys-tem, MULTISAB. In this way compressors can work in a common refrigerating system, thus opti-mizing the operation of the entire compressor plant.

The communication system makes it possible also to connect UNISAB II with a PLC or PC cen-tral monitoring, control and data logging system. UNISAB II can be linked to and communicate with old SABROE control units such as PROSAB II and UNISAB S/R/RT/RTH.

Other possibilities:

• UNISAB II can be configured to run as a chiller controller.

• By inserting an optional communication print, UNISAB II can be configured to com-municate with

a PLC, the configuration by the name EVO-LUTION

one or more Quantum compressor control-lers also manufactured by YORK Refrigeration.

The above points are described in separate man-uals, only the configuration is included in this man-ual.

UNISAB II is operated by means of a front panel as shown in the following drawing. The front panel is well-arranged with only a few keys and a distinct display.

The subsequent description refers to the numbers in the drawing. On delivery UNISAB II is preset with a number of factory values and is thus ready for operation. Therefore, only a few adjustments are necessary to adapt the UNISAB II system to its actual use. For this purpose, use the enclosed leaflet Quick Reference.

UNISAB II is constructed not to lose its preset or changed values in case of a temporary power fail-ure. UNISAB II is fitted with a battery, which is used by the built-in timer so that time and date are always correct even though current has been dis-connected. The hour counter and any stored alarm values will thus maintain the correct time.

Operating UNISAB II control

Start-upOn delivery all electrical components in the com-

pressor are connected to UNISAB II. On site it is

only necessary to add the correct supply voltage from the local installations. The electric wiring must be carried out according to the wiring dia-

grams for UNISAB II at the end of this manual.

Note in particular

a. that no outside voltage must be applied to the

digital inputs of UNISAB II.

b. that the code plug for the supply voltage must be correct compared to the local supply volt-age. (see Fig. 1.2)

Fig. 1.2 Drawing of plugs and their positions

Also check that the 3 Amp fuse is in good working condition.

Fig. 1.3 Drawing of fuses and their positions

Before any voltage is applied to UNISAB II, the

emergency stop switch will be activated.

When voltage is applied to UNISAB II, the follow-

ing Main picture will appear in the display, and

UNISAB II will be ready for operation.

UNISAB II has been programmed with values for

warning limits, alarm limits, set points, etc. This makes it possible to start up the compressor im-mediately.

However, some of the values must always be adapted to the actual operating situation. For this purpose use the enclosed leaflet Quick Refer-ence. It is also recommended to read this manual carefully to acquire a thorough knowledge of how

to operate UNISAB II.

UNISAB II is operated exclusively by means of the

front panel keys. Reading of operating conditions as well as changing of limiting values and set

points is carried out via the display. The display contains a number of different pictures.

The control panel is usually closed and locked with a screw at each end of the panel.

By turning the screws half a turn the control panel is loosened and can be lifted to an open position, Here, it is fastened to the cabinet (see Fig. 1.4).

Fig. 1.4 Opening the cabinet

In this way it is still easy to operate the control panel. At the same time easy access to the cabi-net interior is obtained.

When UNISAB II is open, it is still fully opera-

tional.

DisplayPos. 1 Has a constant background illumina-

tion and displays 4 lines each with 20 characters. The contrast has been factory set, but can be adjusted if re-quired. See subsection Contrast (display) in section Languages. Pressure levels, temperatures, set points as well as warning and alarm limits can be read in the display.

Front panel

The UNISAB II front panel is divided into two sec-

tions:The control section, pos. 2 to 10, by means of which the compressor is controlled.The recording section, pos. 11 to 15, by means of which menu pictures are selected and values changed.

Control section:

Pos. 2 Green lamp indicating whether the compressor is running. At start-up

this lamp will flash until UNISAB II

has received feedback from the mo-tor starter. At the same time the text "STARTING" (lamp flashes) and "OPERATING" (lamp light steady) can be seen in the bottom line of an operating picture.

Pos. 3 Yellow lamp indicating whether the state of operation is automatic or manual. Yellow light = manual op-eration.

Pos. 4 Red lamp indicating warning or alarm. Slow flashes = warning; Quick flashes = alarm.

Pos. 5 A Compressor start at manual operation by pressing the key once.Works only if yellow lamp pos. 3 is lit.

Pos. 6 B Compressor stop at manual oper-ation by pressing the key once.Works only if yellow lamp pos. 3 is lit.

Pos. 7 C A change between manual (yellow lamp on) and automatic (yellow lamp off) takes place by pressing the key once.Please note that if manual was se-lected from the CONTROL menu, it

is not possible to change to automat-ic. See section Control Mode.

Pos. 8 D Key used to acknowledge alarms.

Pos. 9 E Loading of capacity during manual operation. On screw compressors the slide moves towards higher ca-pacity as long as the key is held down. On reciprocating compressors a new capacity stage is loaded every time the key is pressed.

Pos. 10 F Unloading of capacity during man-ual operation. On screw compres-sors the slide moves towards lower capacity as long as the key is held down. On reciprocating compressors one capacity stage is unloaded every time the key is pressed.

Recording section

Pos. 11 The G key has several functions.

When pressing the G key, a change will be made between Bar (PSI) and °C/R (°F/R) for saturated vapours when the display shows a suction or discharge pressure.

Changing the set values can only be carried out by using the password shown on page 1 in the instruction

manual for the UNISAB II in ques-

tion. As to the encoding of a password, see section Changing Set Values.

Pos. 12 H Used for moving left in the menu system. Used for selecting pictures or a digit when changing a value.

Pos. 13 I Used for moving right in the menu system. Used for selecting pictures or a digit when changing a value.

er, if no suitable combination of measuring values can be found in the same picture, a new picture can be constructed.

Thus, it is possible to compose a standard picture appearing in the display.

If the Main picture is required to include eg OIL PRESS instead of SUCT. PRESS, proceed as fol-lows:

Press H until the Main picture appears.

Press I and next K until the cursor reach OIL.

Press I

Press and keep G until the cursor covers the whole line. OIL PRESS and value are moved to line 3 in the main picture and SUCT. PRESS, line 1, has disappeared from the main picture.

Press H until the Main picture appears.

Before changing the main picture, it is recom-mended to plan how to compose the picture and in which sequence the values should appear. Please note that the new value is entered into line 3 and that the value in line 1 disappears.

If SUCT. PRESS is to appear again in the main picture, proceed as follows:

Press H until the Main picture appears.

Press I and again I until

By a quick pressure on G it is possible to switch between Bar and °C/R.

Press G , until the cursor covers the entire line. SUCT. PRESS and value are moved to line 3 in the main picture and DISCH.PRES in line 1 has disappeared from the picture:

Changing of set values

The set values in UNISAB II can be changed by

means of the keys G H I K J

PasswordTo safeguard against unwanted changes of the set values, a password must be used before the change can take place.

When a password has been entered, the system will be open for 60 minutes. During this period it is possible to change the system values before it closes again.

If the system is required to close earlier, press H until the main picture appears. By pressing H once more the system will close.

Passwords are required for changing CONFIG, TIMERS, ALARMS, WARNINGS as well as REG-ULATING PARAMETERS.

Application of passwordWhen the set value to be changed appears in the display and has been marked by the cursor, press G for approx 2 seconds till the following picture appears:

Using the H I and K J keys, enter the correct password.

Press G and the password will be open for 60 minutes for changing of values.

Changing of password

On delivery the UNISAB II password is set for a

standard four-figure password. All YORK Refrigeration companies and agents are able to inform of this standard password.

It is possible to change this standard password to a personal password.

Please note that not more than one password can be used at a time.

Change the password in menu:SETUP I DIAGNOSIS I NEWPASSWORD

With the cursor on NEW PASSWORD, press the G key and enter the current password, cf section Application of password.

It is now possible to enter a personal password by changing the current (shown) password to the one chosen. The password can be set anywhere be-

tween 0001 and 9999.

Important!It is essential to remember the changed password as any changes of the set values will require the application of the personal password. The stand-ard password, of which it is possible to be in-formed by contacting YORK Refrigeration, is no longer applicable.

Resetting of passwordIn case the password has been changed to a per-sonal password and this is no longer known, it is possible to get a special password by contacting YORK Refrigeration. This password must be used to reset the personal password to YORK Refrigeration's standard password.

The password is reset to the standard password in the menu: SETUP I DIAGNOSIS I NEW PASS-WORD

With the cursor on RESET PASSWORD, press the G key, then enter the special password. See section Application of password.

It is now possible to reset the personal password-to the standard password by changing NO into YES by pressing the G key followed by the H key.

Procedure for changing of set valuesThere are two types of changes:

• Changing of values(alarms, set points, etc.)

• Changing of functions(compressor type, regulators, etc.)

Changing a valueTo change the alarm value for LOW SUCTION PRESSURE, do as follows:

• From the main picture, press I until this pic-ture appears:

• Select Bar or °C/R by a quick pressure on G.

• Press I until the following picture appear:

• With the K key move the cursor to LOW ALARM.

• Press G . Enter password if not already open (see section Application of password)

Factory settings

On delivery UNISAB II is programmed with facto-

ry settings for all values such as: Alarms, Warn-ings, Timers, Set points. These values are stated in tables for reciprocating and screw compressors respectively.

See tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in section Alarms and warnings, tables 7 and 8 in section Timers and ta-bles 9A, 9B and 9C in section Compressor regu-lation.

Although other values may have been entered af-ter delivery, it is always possible to return to the factory settings in the following way:

For safety reasons, first make sure the compres-sor is stopped.

From the main picture, press I once.With K, move the cursor to SETUP.Press I once to the picture CONTROL.Press I once more to COMPRESSOR CON-TROL.Press G to move the cursor to the second line.Press J until STOPPED appears. Press G to confirm.

Carry out factory reset:

Press H to CONTROL and K to CONFIG. and I to CONTROL. With K move the cursor to FACTO-RY RESET. Press I to Factory Reset menu.

Press G and the cursor moves to the right. Enter password if not open. Select YES by means of J .

Select G to confirm.

Press H and FACTORY RESET is carried out.

UNISAB II is now restored to its Factory setting.

LanguagesWhen selecting the menu LANGUAGE, the fol-lowing picture will appear:

Contrast (display)

The contrast setting of the display takes place au-tomatically, but it is still possible to make a manual adjustment.

The contrast of the display is adjusted in the main menu or any other menu in the following way: Press the alarm button and K = darker contrast (lower contrast value) or the alarm button and J = lighter contrast (higher contrast).

The value is changed just like any other parame-ter and has an adjusting area from 20-80.

The value 20 gives a dark display.The value 80 gives a light display.

Changes can be made during compressor opera-tion. The contrast setting for the best display lies usually between 30 and 50.

The contrast can be adjusted from any menu pic-ture by using the keys D and J or K.

Important!A setting within the minimum (20) or maximum (80) area may cause a dimming of the display text. However, it is usually still possible to read the text by means of a heavy illumination and by viewing from an angle of approx 20 degrees. Should this not be possible - ie the display is impossible to read - carry out a "blind operation" as follows:

2. Configuration

UNISAB II can be configured to a number of differ-ent functions depending on compressor type, re-frigerant, etc. Some of the settings have already been made by the factory, but it will always be necessary to make some final settings before start-up.

The immediate configuration can always be checked during operation, BUT if one or more configuration points have to be changed, always STOP the compressor and activate the emergen-cy stop while making the changes.

After changing the configuration, the first pressure on H will in some cases display the following pic-ture:

Wait a few seconds - the main picture will appear and UNISAB II will be reconfigured. At this stage the picture may be dark as the contrast is being

adjusted. This is quite normal. RELEASE the emergency stop.

Changes in the points that will lead to the above situation are marked with ** in the following con-figuration table.

The configuration points are common for 1) recip-rocating and 2) screw compressors and their use is marked in the list.

The configuration points have been divided into sub-menus available from the menu SETUP I CONFIG.

In case of a screw compressor, the sub-menus are composed as follows:

On plants with a common evaporator the suction pressure limiter cannot start the next compressor in the sequence. This is only possible if a separate evaporator has been configured.

On plants with a common condenser the dis-charge limiter cannot start the next compressor in the sequence. This is only possible on plants with separate condensers.

Pos. 16: HP ON TWO STAGENO

YESUsually NO is chosen

In special cases on a two-stage plant YES can be selected for HP compressors. The compressors can thus be forced to start by means of the input "External starting permission".

Please note that the compressor does not stop before the starting permission has been removed even though there is no cooling requirement. See detailed description in section Compressor control and surveillance, HP on TWO-STAGE

Pos. 17: WATER COOLED (recip.compr.)NO

YES

Water cooling output is activated by a rising dis-charge pipe temperature. The set point for this value is set in picture DISCH. TEMP I PARAM-ETER, SET POINT 1. The set point has fixed hys-teresis of 5K.

Ex.: Sp 1 = 100°C:Cooling starts at 100°C and stops at (100-5) = 95°C.

Water cooling output is closed at compressor stop according to adjustable time delay. In picture TIM-ERS I TIMER SETUP adjust time delay OIL COOL ON.

Intermediate pressure liquid injection (two- stage reciprocating compressors)

The intermediate pressure liquid injection for TSMC/TCMO compressors is active whenever the compressor is configured to TCMO or TSMC. The solenoid valve for intermediate pressure liq-uid injection is activated when the compressor has started and the discharge pipe temperature gets too high.

The set point for this value is entered in picture: DISCH.TEMP I PARAMETER, SET POINT 2. The set point has fixed hysterisis of 5°K.

Ex.: Sp2 = 90°C. Cooling starts at 90°C and stops at (90-5) = 85°C.

Adjusting range: -20°C-+150°C. Factory value: 100°C.The regulator controls the solenoid valve through the liquid injection digital output.

3. Alarms and Warnings

Analog alarms and warningsALARM and WARNING limits can be set sepa-rately as described in section Changing the set values.

UNISAB II does not check whether ALARM and WARNING limits have been interchanged by a mistake (eg if warning limit for high discharge pressure is set higher than the alarm limit). Con-sequently, during adjustments check that the settings are correct.

If a warning limit is exceeded, the red light diode above the D key will begin to flash slowly, and the warning relay will be activated. The reason for the warning can be seen in the picture WARNING, which also shows whether there are several si-multaneous warnings.

Note that in case of warning, a limiter might be ac-tive as described in section Limiting functions.

When the warning disappears, it is automatically removed from the picture WARNING and the re-lay returns to its normal position.

In case an alarm limit is exceeded, the compres-sor will stop immediately. The red light diode above the D key will start to flash quickly. In the picture ALARM the reason for the alarm can be read, and at the same time the alarm relay will change its position.

The alarm relay works by connecting the alarm/common switch during alarm and by dis-connecting it once the alarm is reset.

The picture ALARM also shows the exact time of the alarm. See also under Diagnosis.

The alarm is reset by pressing the D key, and the warning and alarm relays will return to their nor-mal position. However, if the alarm value is still outside the limit, the red light diode will continue to flash. When the situation has returned to normal, the D key must be pressed once more,

The set values for high and low alarms as well as the factory values are stated in the following ta-bles 1-5. These are followed by explanatory notes.

compressor types (except for SAB 80, see Note 20), calculate the fol-lowing: Oil pressure = Oil pressure 3 (after oil filter) - Suction pressure 1 .

Note 18 The limits are not active until AUX. INPUT SIGNAL has been selected in the menu CALIBRATION 4-20 mA.

Note 19 For SAB 80 the differential pressure across the oil filter is calculated as follows (see Fig. 3.1): Oil filter diff. pressure = Discharge pressure 2 - Oil pressure 4 (after oil filter).

The shown oil filter pressure will thus be 0.1 to 0.7 bar higher than the ac-tual pressure loss across the filter due to the pressure loss across the oil separator and the oil cooler.

The maximum allowed pressure drop across the oil filter is 1.2 bar. Consequently, the warning limit should be set between 0.8 and 1.4 bar or lower. The alarm limit should

be set between 1.1 and 1.7 bar or lower.

Note 20: Set points 1 and 2 are used for alarm monitoring of the mechanical oil pump, cf description of the alarm un-der "Oil pump error" in section Other Alarms. For SAB 80, the oil pressure is calculated as follows (see Fig. 3.1): Oil pressure = Oil pressure 3 (after pump) - Suction pressure 1.

Note 21: The set points are used for control-ling the oil pump. When the pressure falls below set point 1, the oil pump will start. When the pressure ex-ceeds set point 2 for 60 seconds, the oil pump will stop.

Note 22: The set points are used for control-ling the full flow pump. When the pressure falls below set point 1, the full flow pump will start. When the pressure exceeds set point 2 for 60 seconds, the full flow pump will stop.

Suction gas superheat, alarmThe superheat alarm is an alarm which in many cases will protect the compressor against liquid strokes. However, there are many aspects which may affect superheating for which reason this alarm must not be considered as full protection against liquid strokes.

If the superheat falls below the set value, the com-pressor will stop on the relay. However, on R717 pump circulation plants with a short distance be-tween liquid separator and compressor, the suc-tion gas superheat may drop below 0 K during normal operation.

In such cases adjust LOW ALARM to 0, thus making it inactive.

Auxiliary input signal (4-20 mA)The alarm and warning limits are activated when AUX. INPUT SIGNAL has been selected under CALIBRATION 4-20 mA.

Other alarms and warnings

Oil system error (screw compressors)The reason for the alarm is that the oil float switch is not activated within the time set in the timer OIL FLOW during prelubrication; or that there is a drop-out on the oil float switch for a longer period than the one set in the timer NO OIL during oper-ation.

Capacity error (screw compressors)The reason for the alarm is that the capacity slide is not below 5% within the time set in the timer SLIDE MAX at compressor stop; or that the slide - during operation - has not moved within 30 mins, although the regulator is to regulate up or down and the output signal from the regulator is above 20%; or that the slide - in connection with auto-matic setting of variable zero point - cannot reach the position corresponding to calculated or adjust-ed zero point (ie positive read capacity) before the expiry of the timer "cap.negative".

1) If the compressor is set on "MAN" or "AU-TO" and in operation, and the slide does not react to the regulating signal within 30 mins, a warning will be issued. The compressor does not stop.

2) If the compressor is set on "REMOTE" and in operation, and the slide does not react to the regulating signal within 30 mins, an

alarm will be issued. The compressor will stop.

3) If the compressor is REMOTE CONTROL-LED by a PC/PLC-system, a warning will be issued as well. The monitoring is possi-ble by means of a 4-20 mA signal in the aux. input or via communication.

The reason for the difference between situ-ation 1) and 2) is: If the system runs in se-quence - REMOTE (MULTISAB), the com-pressor must be stopped to start any subse-quent compressors in the sequence.

When a compressor is remote controlled (3) it is not a part of the sequence - REMOTE (MULTISAB) system - thus stopping this compressor will not start up subsequent compressors.

PMS errorIf the control is to start the compressor and conse-quently adjusts the output START REQUEST (PMS) to ON, the input START REQUEST OK must be set on ON within the time set in the timer PMS FEEDBACK - or the alarm will be activated.

No starting permissionThe reason for the warning is that the regulator in REMOTE/MULTISAB cannot start this compres-sor, even though the regulator demands more ca-pacity and this compressor is the next in line to start. The reason is that AUTO START has not been configured to YES, or the input EXTERNAL STARTING PERMISSION-NORMAL STOP is not ON.

Compressor motor errorThe reason for the warning is that feedback from the motor is not set/does not disappear within the time set in the timer MOTOR START when the

3. Alarms and Warnings

56/222 0178-445 - ENGRev. 03.09

compressor motor is started/stopped (ie the out-put compressor start is activated/deactivated), or that feedback from the motor disappears even briefly during operation.

The alarm may also occur at compressor start if the emergency stop or an optional high pressure control has been activated.

Compressor motor overloadThe reason for the alarm is that, within the time set in the timer CURR OVERL, a motor current has been measured continually. This current exceeds the highest of the set point values that have been set in SET POINT 1 and SET POINT 2 for MO-TOR CURR.

Discharge pressure, overloadThe reason for the alarm is that, within the time set in the timer DISCH.PRES, OVERLOAD, a dis-charge pressure level has been measured contin-ually. This pressure level exceeds the warning limit for high discharge pressure.

High motor temperatureThe reason for the alarm is that the input THER-MISTOR is open, ie the load on the input is above 3990 Ω.

Oil pump error (screw compressors)The reason for the alarm is that feedback from the oil pump motor is not set/does not disappear with-in the time set in the timer OIL PUMP M. when the compressor starts/stops (ie the output oil pump start is activated/deactivated), or that feedback from the motor disappears even briefly during op-eration.

The alarm functions as a warning during opera-tion, ie after the prelubrication sequence has been completed.

Oil pump error (SAB 80)The reason for the alarm is that the differential pressure across the mechanical oil pump is too low, ie lower than 0.5 Bar. This value can be set as set point 1 for the oil pressure.

The alarm is delayed 45 seconds after compres-sor start (same timer as for "low oil pressure").

The alarm is only activated when the discharge pressure is lower than 16 Bar. This value can be set as set point 2 for the oil pressure.

At a discharge pressure level of approx 16 Bar, the pump cannot be expected to generate a posi-tive relative pressure because of the shunt valve. There is therefore no alarm surveillance of the dif-ferential pressure across the oil pump.

Full flow pump error (screw compressors)The reason for the alarm is that feedback of the full flow pump motor is not set/does not disappear within the time set in the timer FULL FLOW M, when the motor starts/stops (ie the output full flow pumps start is activated/deactivated), or that feedback from the motor disappears even briefly during operation.

The alarm functions as a warning during opera-tion, ie after the prelubrication sequence has been completed.

Cooling fan errorThe alarm will be activated when feedback from the electrical cooling fan motor is not set/disap-pears within the time limit set in the timer FULL FLOW M. when the motor is started/stopped (ie the cooling fan is activated/deactivated), or when feedback from the motor disappears even briefly during operation.

Oil rectifier error (screw compressors)The reason for the alarm is that suction gas super-heat has not exceeded the value set in SET POINT 1 before the timer RECT. DISABL has ex-pired, although the OIL RECTIFIER has been set and the compressor is running.

Wrong starting number in sequenceThe reason for the warning is that two or more compressors have got the same starting number and the same system number.

Error in diagnosis - EEPROMThe reason for the alarm is that it has become im-possible to read and write in the serial EPROM (EEPROM) fitted on the CPU card, ie the serial EPROM is either missing or defective.

Limiting suction pressureThe warning indicates that the suction pressure limiter is active, ie the suction pressure is within the limiter neutral zone or below the warning limit.

Limiting discharge pressureThe warning indicates that the discharge pressure limiter is active, ie the discharge pressure is within the limiter neutral zone or above the warning limit.

Limiting brine temperatureThe warning indicates that the brine temperature limiter is active, ie the brine temperatureis within the limiter neutral zone or below the warning limit.

Limiting hot waterThe warning indicates that the hot water tempera-ture limiter is active, ie the hot water temperature is within the limiter neutral zone or above the warning limit.

Limiting discharge temperatureThe warning indicates that the discharge pipe temperature limiter is active. See section Limiting functions, High discharge pipe temperature.

No communication to ChillerThe alarm/warning will only be activated if UNISAB II is configured as part of a Chiller con-trol, ie as SETUP I CONFIG I CHILLER = YES.

The alarm will only be activated if the communica-tion between UNISAB II and the connected Chiller disappears for a longer period than the one set in the timer NO CHILLER.

Chiller, alarm from ChillerThe alarm will only be activated if UNISAB II is configured as part of a Chiller control, ie as SETUP I CONFIG I CHILLER = YES.

The alarm will be activated if the alarm of the con-nected Chiller goes off.

Watch the oil pressureThe warning will appear if the oil pump for oil charging is started by means of the pictureTIMERS I OIL CHARGING and the compressor is in operation at the same time.

Vi position error

The alarm will only be activated if UNISAB II is configured for automatic Vi regulation, ie

SETUP I CONFIG I VOLUME RATIO = AUTO

The alarm indicates that the display of capacity in connection with automatic Vi regulation is incor-

rect. The real capacity of the compressor is lower than the one shown in the display.

Evolution, no communication to PLCThe alarm will only appear if UNISAB II is config-ured as part of an Evolution control, ie as SETUP I CONFIG. I COMMUNICATIONS I PORT 1 = EVOLUTION XXX

The alarm will only be activated if there is no com-munication between UNISAB II and the connect-ed PLC.

Low lubricating pressure monitoring (screw compressor) The reason for this alarm is that the differential pressure across the compressor and thus the ef-fective lubricating pressure is too low. The differ-ential pressure is calculated in the following way: measured oil pressure - 1.1 x suction pressure. The differential pressure must be higher that the set alarm limit for low oil pressure, see the draw-ing below. A warning will be issued after 25 sec-onds and an alarm after 145 seconds.

4. TimersUNISAB II includes a number of timer functions under the menu SETUP I TIMERS I .

1. TIMERS - I

This picture includes all the timers and shows which timers are activated (they are counting down).

2.TIMER SETUP - I

In this picture the set values of the timers can be changed. The timers and their functions appear from the following tables for screw compressors and reciprocating compressors respectively. Some of these timers can be changed using the keyboard whereas others are fixed. The tables also include the factory set values.

3. SERVICE COUNTER - I

ON TIME 00 HOURSINCE START 0 sec

On time

Indicates the total operating time of the compres-sor.

Since start

Shows how long time the compressor has been running since it was last started. When stopping the compressor, the counter will stay on the value

reached at that particular moment. In this way it is possible to know for how long the compressor has been running since the last operating period. When the compressor is restarted, the counter be-gins from 0.

4. DATE - TIME - I

This picture shows:

TIME The time in hoursMIN The time in minutesSEC The time in secondsDAY DateMONTH MonthYEAR Year

Must be set correctly in order for the alarms to be stored with the correct time. This function is pro-vided with a battery back-up.

Timer description

Screw compressors

1. Start-start delayStates the number of seconds that must pass from one compressor start to the next. If the compres-sor stops before the timer has counted down to 0, the timer will block restart.

2. Stop-start delayStates the number of seconds that must pass be-fore the compressor can be restarted after stop. This function is not used in MANUAL mode.

3. Start delay

When UNISAB II is in AUTOMATIC or REMOTE, the compressor start will be delayed for the stated number of seconds.

4. Stop delay When UNISAB II is in AUTOMATIC or REMOTE and the compressor is below 5% slide stop posi-tion, the timer will start counting down and stop the compressor at 0.

5. Suction ramp

This timer indicates how fast the compressor is al-lowed to lower its suction pressure 1°C. The func-tion is active as long as the compressor is working itself down to its normal working point. When this has been reached, the compressor will be regulat-ed according to the set regulating values.

Used only in case of suction pressure regulation.

If the value is set at 0, this function is disconnect-ed.

6. Slide max At compressor stop the capacity slide will move towards minimum position. In case it fails to get below 5% within the set time, an error message will be issued.

If UNISAB II tries to move the slide during opera-tion, and the slide refuses to move within the set time, an error message will appear.

7. PrelubricationWhen starting compressors with prelubrication pumps, the prelubrication time is calculated from the time when the oil float issues a signal.

1) For SAB 202, SAB Mk3 and VMY Mk3.

2) For SAB 163 Mk1.

3) For SV 10/20, FV 10/20, SAB 110 SR/LR, SAB 128 HR and SAB 163 HR.

4) For SAB 283, SAB 355, GSV, RWF and SAB 330 B

5) For SAB 330 HP (B is short for Booster, which can be selected in the CONFIG menu. HP means Booster = NO).

6) For Rotatune compressors the time must be changed from 10 sec. to 0 sec.

21. Motor start

When the compressor starts, the motor guard must issue a feedback before the timer expires; if not, an error message will appear.

The green light diode above the starting key A will flash until feedback has been received whereup-on the light will be steady.

22. PMS (Starting request) feedback

After the control has issued a starting request, it must receive a feedback within the stated time; if not, an error message will appear.

23. F. F. Pump startIn case the motor guard of the full flow pump has failed to issue a feedback within the stated time af-ter the starting signal, an error message will ap-pear.

24. Oil pump startIn case the motor guard of the oil pump has failed to issue a feedback within the stated time after the starting signal, an error message will appear.

25. Oil rectifier start

Whenever the compressor starts, this timer will be activated and start counting down. When 0 has been reached, the solenoid valve to the oil rectifier will be activated.

26. Oil rectifier delayIf suction gas superheating drops below set point 1 for superheating, the solenoid valve will close. Once the superheating rises above this limit again, the timer must expire before the solenoid valve opens.

27. Oil rectifier disableIf suction gas superheating drops below set point 1 for superheating, the timer will start counting down. Provided the superheating still remains be-low the limit once the timer has reached 0, a warn-ing will be issued to a superior computer.

28. Start high pressureOn two-stage plants the HP compressors can be started by force by activating the input External starting permission, normal stop.

The start will be delayed for the set number of sec-onds.

With the compressors in sequence, number 1 in the sequence will start and the system will now operate normally.

29. No Chiller

When UNISAB II is configured as part of a Chiller control, the timer will ensure that communication between UNISAB II and the connected Chiller does not disappear for a period longer period than the set time. If this happens, both UNISAB II and UNISAB II-Chiller will be stopped by the alarm.

30. Cap. negativeWhen the compressor is started, the slide must move to the position corresponding to the set zero point (ie positive read capacity) as quickly as pos-sible before the expiry of the cap. negative timer. Otherwise an error message will be issued. The cap. negative timer counts down each second by the value: (corrected capacity)2/5, where corrected

capacity may be negative values between -0 and -30%, ie the timer will count down each second by a factor between 1 and 180.

Each time the slide moves above 0% capacity, the timer will stop.

The timer is reset and restarted, as soon as the slide moves below -2% corrected capacity.

31. Unloaded start

The timer is used in connection with the compres-sors FV 17/19. When the compressor motor is started, a by-pass solenoid valve for oil discharge will open for the time set.

7. P BAND FACTOR - I

In case of a screw compressor, the following picture will appear:

Start delay

Start delay can be changed in the range from 1 to 100. Stop delay can be changed in the range from 0 to 100. The function of these zones must be seen in connection with the applied regulator (suc-tion pressure, brine, etc).

If the value 1 is selected, the timer will not start to count until the measured value of the regulator is 1% inside the proportional band above the neutral zone.

If the value 100 is selected, the timer will not start to count until the measured value of the regulator is 100% inside the proportional band above the neutral zone.

Whether 1% or 100% is selected, the timer - when it is started - will count in seconds without exten-sion (this is not the case with reciprocating com-pressors, see next section).

Stop delayIf the value 0 is selected, the timer will start to count when the measured value of the regulator is in the neutral zone.

If the value 1 is selected, the timer will not start to count until the measured value of the regulator is 1% inside the proportional band below the neutral zone.

If the value 100 is selected, the timer will not start to count until the measured value of the regulator is 100% inside the proportional band below the neutral zone.

Sp = Set pointNz = Neutral zonePb = Proportional band

Example 1:

UNISAB II has been set for suction pressure reg-ulation,Sp = -10 °C,Nz = 2 K, Pb = 10 K, START DELAY = 90 sec and FACTOR = 50.

STOP DELAY = 60 sec and FACTOR = 30.

In the neutral zone and up to -4°C the compressor will not be in operation. If the measured suction pressure is a little higher than -4°C, the START DELAY timer will start counting and the compres-sor will start after 90 seconds. If necessary, a compressor start can thus be delayed or blocked.

In the neutral zone and up to -14°C the compres-sor will be in operation. If the measured suction pressure is a little lower than -14°C and the capac-ity slide is below 5%, the STOP DELAY timer will start counting and the compressor will stop after 60 seconds.

Example 2:UNISAB II has been set for suction pressure change,Sp = -20 °C,

Nz = 4K, Pb = 10 K,START DELAY = 90 sec and FACTOR = 10.

STOP DELAY = 60 sec and FACTOR = 0.

In the neutral zone and up to -17°C the compres-sor will not be in operation. If the measured suc-tion pressure is a little higher than -17°C, the START DELAY timer will start to count and the compressor will start after 90 seconds. If neces-sary, a compressor start can thus be delayed or blocked.

As long as the measured suction pressure is in the upper proportional band, the compressor will be in operation. If the measured suction pressure is a little lower than -18°C and the capacity slide is be-low 5%, the STOP DELAY timer will start to count and the compressor will stop after 60 seconds.

In case of a reciprocating compressor, the fol-lowing picture will appear:

Each of these factors can be selected in the range 1-10.

In AUTO and REMOTE mode, the various P BAND FACTORs are influencing the decision of when to start or stop the compressor or, for recip-rocating compressors, when to engage or disen-gage another capacity stage.

Basically, starting and stopping as well as engag-ing and disengaging are delayed by the timers START DELAY, STOP DELAY, DELAY UP and DELAY DOWN. See section Timer description. The relevant timers start as soon as the regulated input (eg suction pressure) is just outside the neu-tral zone.

There is one P BAND FACTOR for each of these timers.

If the P BAND FACTOR is 1, the time delay will be the same no matter if the regulated input is just outside the neutral zone or far outside the neutral zone.

By selecting a P BAND FACTOR higher than 1 (up to 10), it is possible to have the timer run slow-er when the regulated input is close to the neutral zone as illustrated in the drawing.

Fig. 4.1

When the regulated input is outside the P band (PB), the timer will run at normal speed, as it is counting in seconds. When the regulated input is

just outside the neutral zone (NZ), each count-down will last one PBF second.

In this way, a compressor start can be delayed or blocked if there is no particular cooling require-ment. However, if the deviation is large, the timer will count down fast and start the compressor.

Example 1:

Suction pressure regulation has been selected. The measured suction pressure equals the set point. The compressor is stopped and ready to start.Set point Sp = -10°C/RNz = 2°C/RPb = 5°C/RSTART DELAY = 60 secP BAND FACTOR START DELAY = 5.

When the measured suction pressure exceeds -9°C/R, the START DELAY timer will begin to count with an interval of 5 sec (P BAND FACTOR) each time the value in the display counts one down. If the pressure steadies, the timer will run for 5 x 60 = 300 seconds.

Should the measuring value reach -6.5°C/R, the counting interval will be 3 sec.

If the pressure is still moving upwards and ex-ceeds -4°C/R (the Pb limit), the timer will count in seconds.

The resulting total delay will range between 60 and 300 seconds, after which the compressor will start.

Example 2:Discharge pressure regulation has been selected on a reciprocating compressor. The measured discharge pressure equals the set point. The com-pressor is running at 100% capacity.Set point Sp = 30°C/RNz = 2°C/RPb = 5°C/RDELAY DOWN = 30 secP BAND FACTOR DELAY DOWN = 3.

When the measured discharge pressure exceeds 31°C/R, the timer DELAY DOWN will begin to count with an interval of 3 sec (P BAND FACTOR) each time the value in the display counts one down. If the pressure steadies, the timer will run for 3 x 30 = 90 seconds.

Should the measuring value reach 33.5°C/R, the counting interval will be 2 sec.

If the pressure is still moving upwards and ex-ceeds 36°C/R (the Pb limit), the timer will count in seconds.

The resulting total delay will range between 30 and 90 seconds, after which the compressor will disengage one capacity stage.

Special timers in connection with MULTISABReciprocating compressorsIn the MULTISAB system which regulates and op-timizes more than one compressor, there are a number of factors attached to a TRANS-FER/TAKE-OVER function between reciprocating and screw compressors. These factors are de-scribed in detail in section MULTISAB regulation.

MULTISABMULTISAB is a distributed compressor control system, which is very useful when more compres-sors are working together (eg connection to the same suction line). With MULTISAB it is possible to start, stop and capacity regulate compressors according to the varying cooling requirements. MULTISAB is a standard function in UNISAB II. MULTISAB is described in detail in section MUL-TISAB regulation.

MULTISAB is only able to work if all UNISAB II units which are to participate in the distributed control are physically connected via the Danbuss communication network. The section Installation of data communication cable describes how to connect the units.

If MULTISAB is to function optimally, it is of vital importance that certain key parameters are se-lected correctly by the user as explained in section MULTISAB regulation. To understand the con-tents of the MULTISAB pictures, the following key parameters are described here: COMPR. NO, SYSTEM NO, PREF. MASTER, START NO and CONTROL MODE.

Always make sure that all UNISAB II units on a network have different COMPR. NOs, ie two units are not allowed to have the same COMPR. NO. See section Configuration.

SYSTEM NO informs MULTISAB which com-pressors are to work together. The drawing below shows two examples.

Fig. 4.2

In the example to the left, two separate compres-sor plants are connected on a common Danbuss network. Here it is of vital importance that

• UNISAB No 1 has the same SYSTEMNO as UNISAB No 2

• UNISAB No 3 has the same SYSTEM NO as UNISAB No 4

• SYSTEM NO of UNISAB 1 and 2 differs from SYSTEM NO of UNISAB 3 and 4.

In the example to the right, each of the four com-pressors can be connected independently to any of the two suction main lines. In this example is is also important that SYSTEM NO is correct. How-ever, it is particularly important that when chang-ing the valve settings, the SYSTEM NO in the UNISAB II units in question is changed according-ly as this does not take place automatically.

START NO defines the priority of the compres-sors with common SYSTEM NO. The unit with the lowest START NO will be the first to start.

PREF. MASTER must be indentical for all units with the same SYSTEM NO. See section Config-uration. PREF. MASTER specifies whether it is COMPR. NO or START NO which is to define which UNISAB II is to be SYS CONTROLLER.

SYS CONTROLLER is responsible for the co-or-dination of the involved units. It is the sensor of the SYS CONTROLLER (eg suction pressure input) which is used for the regulation.

If PREF. MASTER = #COMPR, the unit with the lowest COMPR. NO will be SYS CONTROLLER except if the UNISAB II unit in question is shut off or otherwise unable to communicate. In such cas-es the unit with the next COMPR. NO will take over as SYS CONTROLLER.

If PREF. MASTER = #START, the unit with the lowest START NO will be SYS CONTROLLER, but only as long as it is available. If it is not avail-able, the unit with the next START NO will take over as SYS CONTROLLER. A unit is not availa-ble if it is shut off, not communicating, not in RE-MOTE mode or in shutdown alarm condition. An

alarm condition may be due to a sensor error, re-sulting in a change of SYS CONTROLLER and thus of sensor.

In order for a compressor to become part of a MULTISAB system, the above key parameters must be set up. CONTROL MODE must be set for REMOTE. In other words, by changing the CON-TROL MODE, the user is able to include and ex-clude the compressor from the MULTISAB sys-tem. See section Compressor regulation.

The MULTISAB functions are found in the menu SETUP I MULTISAB I

The picture can of course be used for getting an overall view of the MULTISAB operation of the plant.

It may also be used for testing whether the com-munication between the UNISAB II units on the network is working. In case there is no communi-cation to one of the UNISAB II units, the status field in line 4 will be replaced by a "?".

NEXTThe number of the compressor which is next in the starting sequence - (higher START NO)

FOLLOWING

The number of the compressor which follows the next compressor in the starting sequence (an even higher START NO).

PARALLEL CAPThe percentage at which MULTISAB is going to stop this compressor, when this compressor is one of the two screw compressors that run in par-allel.

OFFSET

Can be set between 0.0% and -20.0%. The OFF-SET value is added to the calculation of PARAL-LEL CAP. After entering an OFFSET value (not 0), the PARALLEL CAP value will be reduced ac-cordingly. This means that the point at which the lag (screw) compressor is stopped is reduced by the OFFSET value. This may be useful when wa-ter chillers are running in parallel as these units may have a relatively better COP at part load (heat transfer being better at part load). Note that the OFFSET value is not changed by a FACTORY RESET.

Control mode The compressor can be adjusted for different modes of operation. These are found in SETUP I CONTROL I .

When this picture is selected, the cursor will be positioned in the top line. Press G and the cursor moves to the second line.

Select the desired mode of operation with J K. There are the following possibilities:

• STOPPED• MANUAL• AUTO • REMOTE

STOPPED means that the compressor is blocked and thus cannot start.

MANUAL means that the compressor only oper-ates manually, ie it is not possible to change to an-other mode by means of C .

The compressor can, however, be started with A and stopped with B. Capacity is increased/de-creased with E F.

AUTO means that the compressor runs in local automatic operation according to the form of reg-ulation chosen (suction pressure, brine, etc). It is possible to change to MANUAL with C.

REMOTE means that the compressor works to-gether with one or more compressors in a com-mon MULTISAB control system.

RegulatorsUNISAB II includes a number of compressor ca-pacity regulators. In the modes AUTO and RE-

MOTE, one (and only one) of these regulators is responsible for adjusting the capacity according to the cooling (or heating) requirements. Which reg-ulator to use is specified in Pos. 3: CONTROL ON in the menu CONFIG. See section Configuration. CONTROL ON can be set to one of the following:

• SUCTION • BRINE• DISCHARGE• HOT WATER• EXT.COOL• EXT.HEAT

Each regulator has its own set of parameters. This means that when changing the CONTROL ON setting from one regulator to another and back again, the original parameters are kept.

The common regulator parameter set includes: Set point (SP), Neutral zone (Nz) and Propor-tional band (Pb or P Band). On screw compres-sors PID parameters are also used. See section PID controller below.

Set point is the pressure or the temperature de-sired in the plant.

Neutral zone indicates how much the pressure or the temperature is allowed to fluctuate in relation to the Sp without the compressor changing its ca-pacity. The set value of Nz is positioned symmet-rically around the set point (Sp +/- 1/2 Nz).

Proportional band indicates how powerful the regulating signal to the compressor capacity reg-ulation is going to be, depending on the difference between the desired value (Sp) and the actual val-ue.

In case the measured value is just outside the Nz, the regulating impulses will be very short, where-as the regulating impules will be very long if the

measured value is outside the P Band. The P Band is positioned symmetrically around Sp out-side the Nz.

Fig. 5.1

Screw compressorsScrew compressors are capacity regulated (hy-draulically or electrically) by moving the capacity slide. This takes place via two digital outputs which are controlled by UNISAB II, so that the slide moves towards max or min capacity accord-ing to demand. The setting is stageless from 0 to 100%. UNISAB II will usually pulse the digital out-puts with a pulse/delay ratio. Consequently, a constant up or down signal will rarely be given.

The capacity control must be seen as two PID control loops.

The inner loop adjusts the slide position continu-ously according to the manually or automatically selected capacity set point. As long as this set point is constant, the inner loop will ensure that the capacity slide remains in this position, inde-

pendent of any other outside influence on the ca-pacity slide.

When active, the outer loop will adjust the capac-ity set point according to the selected control set point and measured value, eg the suction pres-sure set point and measurement. In MANUAL mode, the outer loop is not active. In AUTO, the outer loop is active according to the CONTROL ON setting. See section Regulators.

The inner loop set point can also be controlled via the external input (see section Set point control with current input) or via the communication net-work.

Inner loop parameters are set in picture SETUP I CAPACITY I CAPACITY. The picture includes the standard PID parameters and the points de-scribed in section PID controller below. Addition-ally the following parameters can be selected:

• MIN PULSE is the shortest pulse that UNISAB II will give on the relay output, eg it takes time for a hydraulicvalve to open and close, and for the hydraulic oil to move, so a pulse shorter than about half a second would have no effect and would only short-en the service life of the valve and the relay. A longer MIN PULSE increases the service life of the hardware, but it also makes the regulation less accurate.

• RUN TIME is the approximate time it takes for the capacity slide to move from minimum position to maximum position and vice versa at constant signal. Please note that RUN TIME for the capacity slide may be reduced by variable slide end stop etc where this is relevant.

Outer loop parameters are set in the relevant pic-ture, eg SUCTION I SUCT. PRESS. The picture includes the standard PID parameters and the points described in section PID controller below.

The automatic Vi slide control works in the same way as the inner loop. The parameters are availa-ble in picture CAPACITY I VI POSITION.

PID controllerOn screw compressors a PID controller is used for capacity control and possible Vi control. The the-ory of PID controllers is described in numerous books on automatic control. Methods of optimiz-ing the parameters are also included in these books. The available parameters are described briefly in the following.

In the relevant picture, eg SUCTION I SUCT. PRESS., the following data are included:

Name Description

ACTUAL SP. The set point which the PID controller works with at the moment.

SET POINT 1 User selected set point 1

SET POINT 2 User selected set point 2

NEUTRAL ZONE The neutral zone is a symmetrical area around ACTUAL SP. When the controlled val-ue is inside the area, the controller will be passive. The purpose is to increase service life of the output hardware (relays, valves, spindle motor, etc). However, with the PID controller this is handled by MIN PULSE, so that the NEUTRAL ZONE should be set for 0. A larger NEUTRAL ZONE makes the regulation less accurate.

PROP. BAND This parameter decides the total gain in the control loop, as the gain K=n / (PROP. BAND) where n is a constant that depends on RUN TIME. Thus changing PROP. BAND does not only affect the proportional term, but also the integral and differential terms. Increasing PROP. BAND will give a slower response.

T. INT. Integral Time decides the gain of the integral term. A smaller T. INT means a larger gain, ie the controller will try to reach the set point faster.

T. DIFF. Differential Time decides the gain of the differential term. A larger T. DIFF means a larger gain. Normally select T. DIFF = 0 as it is then working as a PI controller.

P. PART This field shows the actual Proportional term calculated by the PID controller.

I. PART This field shows the actual Integral term calculated by the PID controller.

UNISAB II 2.03

PID regulatorWith version 2.01, the PID regulator was intro-duced to replace the previous “three-point I regu-lator”. It is very important that the parameters ap-pearing by a factory reset be used.

There are both an inner and an outer loop. As re-gards the outer loop, it is not recommended to ad-just the P band further down than 10°C and T.INT. further down than 20 seconds. Higher values may very well occur. T.DIFF. is usually always 0. The neutral zone can be set for 0.4°C or higher if it is not required that the suction pressure is kept as narrow as possible around the set point. If the neutral zone is too high, the regulator may fluctu-ate too much.

As regards the inner loop it is recommended only to use the default values for neutral zone (0.0), P band (200%), T.INT. (30 seconds) and T.DIFF. (0 seconds)..The parameter MIN PULSE determines the pulse duration up or down every time the sole-noid valve is activated. If the value is high, a cor-respondingly large capacity change is required before the regulator reacts with an up or down sig-nal. This is a kind of neutral zone. Default value is 0.5 seconds and should not be higher than 2 sec-onds.

The parameter RUN TIME defines how long it will take to run the slide from 0-100% at constant up signal or from 100-0% at constant down signal. Usually slide speed is always adjusted on the oil needle valves positioned on the capacity regulat-ing block so that the slide speed is approx 60 sec-onds when the oil is warm from operation. This ad-justment is usually carried out by the service engi-neer who starts up the compressor unit.

If the slide speed for some reason cannot be ad-justed for 60 seconds, the RUN TIME parameter must be changed so that run time corresponds to the actual operating conditions. If this is not done, it will appear as if the PID regulator is out of con-trol, ie it will increase capacity when it should de-crease capacity as well as go far beyond its set-point.

If it is necessary to set the RUN TIME value higher than 60 seconds, YORK Refrigeration recom-mends increasing the integral-time (T.INT) corre-spondingly. Do not, however, use a T.INT. higher than 120 seconds as this may prevent the capa-city slide from reaching 100%. A T.INT increase informs the system that slide function is slower than expected.

Example 1Screw compressor with a combination of slide regulation and frequency regulation.

Slide velocity is 60 seconds from 0-100% slide movement. This may be shown as 0-42% capacity on the UNISAB II display. When the slide has reached 100%, the frequency converter will start to increase the frequency to the max frequency set. This will take 60 seconds and be shown as 42-100% in the UNISAB II display. Thus the RUN TIME parameter must be set for 60+60=120 sec-onds for correct regulation.

When switching between manual and automatic control, another difference between the PID regu-lator and the previous regulator can be seen. A suction pressure level which is much higher than the set point will produce a very high output signal from the regulator.

D. PART This field shows the actual Differential term calculated by the PID controller

REG. OUTPUT The actual Regulator Output is the sum of P. PART, I. PART and D. PART.

If switching from manual to auto and back again rather quickly, the regulator will have produced a very large output signal when regulating in auto. This signal may make the regulator unstable in case the setting of the oil valves mentioned above is incorrect. If the regulator becomes unstable, keep control mode in manual until the regulator has stabilized (without activating the capacity up and down keys).

Example 2Nz = 0.0

P band = 10.0 T. I NT. = 60.0T. DI FF. = 0.0

In case the compressor is running very unsteadily during regulation or two compressors cannot find one another in parallel operation, raise the P band to eg. 50°C.

If the running of the compressor has steadied, but the regulator seems slow to reach its set point, re-duce the P band a little at a time until the running

of the compressor becomes unsteady again. Now raise the P band to the last applicable value. If the suction pressure still does not reach its setpoint (depending on the setting of Nz) a reduction in the integral-time can be necessary to fine-tune the regulator.

If the regulator during a long period of time seems to hunt, increase the T. INT. to eg. 100-200 sec. If the hunting stops, reduce the T. INT. until the sys-tem starts hunting again. Now increase the T. INT. to the last applicable value.

Usually it will never be necessary to change the T. DIFF. to another value than 0 sec. However, in special cases where the compressor is part of a process plant, eg. in petrochemical plants, it may be necessary to use another value than 0 sec. This will only be necessary if the process requires a very fast regulation upwards or downwards to avoid that the suction pressure removes itself too far from the set point.

Reciprocating compressorsReciprocating compressors are capacity regulat-ed in stages by connection/disconnection of cylin-ders, typically in pairs, through solenoid valves controlled by UNISAB II.

How fast the compressor loads/unloads stages is determined by the timers DELAY UP and DELAY DOWN, which will start counting as soon as the value is outside the neutral zone.

The regulator is allowed to have a P Band of 0, which means that the stages are loaded in sec-onds as set.

If the P Band is above 0, the delay times can be prolonged as long as the value is within the P Band.

The P Band is only relevant if the P Band factors DELAY UP and/or DELAY DOWN are set in the picture P BAND FACTOR at a value above 1. See section P BAND FACTOR.

If the value is just outside the neutral zone and the P Band factor DELAY UP is eg 10, counting will be slow: "1 sec." becomes 10 sec.

If the value is just outside the P Band, counting will be speeded up, "1 sec" becomes 1 sec.

Set points on regulatorsAll regulators for capacity regulation (suction pressure, brine temp, etc) can have two 2 set points which are selected by opening/closing a digital input named REGULATOR SET POINT 1 OR 2 (see wiring diagrams).

Note that also the Motor Current Limiter has two set points, which are selected with another digital input named MOTOR CURRENT SET POINT 1 OR 2.

CONTROL ON = SUCTIONThe pressure is measured by the built-in pressure transducer on the compressor suction side.

The regulator is set by selecting SUCTION I SUCT.PRESS I PARAMETERS followed by re-peated pressures on K until reaching the bottom of the picture. Note that the Neutral zone and the

P Band can only be selected when the pressure is shown in °C/R.

CONTROL ON = BRINEThe brine temperature is measured by a Pt 100 sensor on the spot where the temperature is to be regulated. The sensor is not built into the com-pressor.

The regulator is set by selecting BRINE I BRINE TEMP I PARAMETERS followed by repeated pressures on K until reaching the bottom of the picture.

CONTROL ON = HOT WATERThe hot water temperature is measured by a Pt 100 sensor connected to the brine temperature in-put (see wiring diagrams). Position the sensor on the spot where the temperature is to be regulated. The sensor is not built into the compressor.

The regulator is set by selecting BRINE I BRINE TEMP I PARAMETERS followed by repeated pressures on K until reaching the bottom of the picture.

Note that the BRINE REGULATOR at this stage functions as a HOT WATER REGULATOR. The difference is that the compressor will load capacity at decreasing temperature.

Ex.: The set point of the capacity slide on a screw compressor is to vary from 0 to 100% correspond-ing to a change in the current signal from 4-20 mA.

The cursor is positioned on 4 mA. Press G until the cursor moves to the right, and change the val-ue to 0 (skip this if the value is 0) with J or K, and press G again.

Move the cursor down to 20 mA. Press G until the cursor moves to the right, and change the val-ue to 100, and press G.

Move the cursor down to USED FOR. Press G until the cursor moves to the right, and select CA-PACITY SET POINT with J or K. Finish by press-ing G.

The picture will now look like this:

The capacity slide will now move from 0% to 100% corresponding to a change in the current from 4 - 20 mA.

In the same way it is possible to control the capac-ity on a reciprocating compressor.

The reciprocating compressor changes one ca-pacity stage up or down depending on whether the signal is above or below the percentage corre-sponding to the capacity stage in question. The timers DELAY UP and DELAY DOWN, which are used during the loading/unloading of capacity stages, are now active when capacity regulation

takes place with an external 4-20 mA signal (ap-plies to version 1.08 and later versions). This means that for an SMC 108 without total unload-ing the following changes apply:

0% ≤ Signal < 25% = 0% capacity,25% ≤ Signal < 50% = 25% capacity,50% ≤ Signal < 75% = 50% capacity,75% ≤ Signal < 100% = 75% capacity,100% ≤ Signal = 100% capacity.

This works as follows:

StartWhen the signal is above 5% (4.8 mA) and AUTO START = YES has been configured, the timer START DELAY will begin to count down (in case of screw compressors).

For reciprocating compressors, the timer START DELAY will start once the signal is above the low-est capacity stage. When the timer START DE-LAY has counted down, the compressor will start and follow the signal up/down. Note, however, that various limiters may reduce the compressor capacity.

StopWhen the signal is below 5% (4.8 mA) and AUTO STOP = YES has been configured, the timer STOP DELAY will stop counting down (in case of screw compressors). For reciprocating compres-sors, the timer STOP DELAY will start once the signal is below the lowest capacity stage. For re-ciprocating compressors with total unloading, the timer STOP DELAY will be activated when the sig-nal is below 0%. When the STOP DELAY timer has finished counting down, the compressor will stop.

In case the current signal drops to -10% (2.4 mA), there will be a change to the chosen form of regu-lation (eg suction pressure regulation, brine regu-lation, etc). If the signal exceeds -10% once more, there will be a change to capacity remote control.

When UNISAB II is configured to "capacity set point", the starting number is changed to 0. The "old" starting number is stored and reinserted in case UNISAB II is configured differently from "ca-pacity set point".

Climatic ControlThis function can be used for both reciprocating and screw compressors without automatic Vi reg-

ulation. The function is included in the menu CON-FIG and is further described in section Configura-tion.

The set point of the inlet temperature on the water side of plants that are regulated on brine temper-ature or hot water temperature can be dislocated by the outside temperature. This requires a 4 - 20 mA temperature transducer, which is connected to the current inlet in UNISAB II as shown in the wiring diagrams positioned at the end of this man-ual.

Use a standard temperature transducer with a suitabe temperature range, eg -30 - +25°C as shown in Fig. 5.2. Note that the points of disconti-nuity in the diagram will be determined by the transducer measuring range as seen in the follow-ing examples 1 and 2.

Fig. 5.2

No further compensation will be made once the outside temperature is above the top point of dis-

continuity and below the bottom point of disconti-nuity.

The factor by which the outside temperature will influence the inlet temperature positively or nega-tively must be set in the BRINE, HOTWATER or UNIVERSAL regulator. In the picture CONFIG, select CONTROL ON = BRINE or HOTWATER, or (UNIVERSAL regulator) EXT.COL/EXT. HEAT as well as CLIMA CONTROL = YES in the menu CONFIG.

Example 1:

On a water cooling unit, the inlet temperature is to be corrected by the outside temperature.

1) If the outside temperature is +30 °C or more, the inlet temperature should be +4°C.

2) If the outside temperature is+0°C or less, the inlet temperature should be +12°C.

In the menu CONFIG, set CONTROL ON on BRINE and CLIMA CONTROL on YES. Select an outside sensor with a range of 0 - +30 °C.

In both examples the inlet temperature will rise at falling outside temperatures.

If the opposite effect is required, ie rising inlet tem-perature at rising outside temperature, SP1 and SP2 must be switched.

Adjusting slide speed (screw compressors with hydraulic slides)

Capacity slideThe capacity slide is moved by adding or remov-ing oil from the slide piston cylinder. The move-ment is controlled by UNISAB II, which activates the solenoid valves in the oil lines, thus moving the slide in the desired direction. If this movement takes place too fast, the system will become very unstable and give rise to unnecessary wear and tear of the slide.

To prevent the above, adjustable throttle valves have been built into the oil lines and by changing the opening degree of the throttle valves, the slide movement can be adjusted to a suitable speed.

The slide speed is checked with the compressor in MANUAL mode, at normal oil temperature and by activating E F used for capacity regulation.

With the slide in minimum position (< 5%) and with a constant pressure on E (capacity up), it takes about 60 sec for the slide to move to 100%, and with a constant pressure on F (capacity down) approx 60 sec to move down to 0%.

Is this not the case, adjust the throttle valves.

Volume ratio slideThe volume ratio slide is moved by adding or re-moving oil for the slide piston cylinder. The move-ment is controlled by UNISAB II, which activates the solenoid valves in the oil lines, thus moving the slide in the desired direction. If this movement takes place too fast, the system will become very unstable and give rise to unnecessary wear and tear of the slide.

To prevent the above, adjustable throttle valves have been built into the oil lines and by changing the opening degree of the throttle valves, the slide movement can be adjusted to a suitable speed.

and change the value to -10% by pressing G and K. This will make the slide move to minimum po-sition.

Return to VI POSITION to check the slide move-ment.

When the slide has reached minimum, change SET POINT 1 to 110%. The slide will now move to maximum position. Check the speed of the move-ment from 0% to 100% in the picture with VI PO-SITION.

The movement from 0% to 100% must be adjust-ed on the throttle valves to last approx 120 sec. This also applies to the movement from 100% to 0%.

Use SET POINT 1 with either - 10% or 110% to move the slide back and forth until the speed is correct.

Variable Zero position

In generalThe flow of screw compressors at low slide posi-tions seen in relation to the fully loaded "flow", is strongly dependent on the operating conditions. Thus, it has turned out to be expedient to enter a "floating zero point", which ensures that the com-pressor operates with a correct slide position.

The program in UNISAB II ensures that the SAB 202 compressor always adapts to the variable op-erating conditions.

Based on discharge pressure, suction pressure, compressor type and capacity, UNISAB II calcu-lates a "zero point" below which the compressor capacity slide is not permittted to drop while the compressor is operating.

When the compressor starts, the new "zero point" will be calculated, and the capacity slide moves as quickly as possible from a physical zero point (me-chanical impact) to the calculated zero. As long as the slide position is below the calculated zero point, the capacity is shown as a negative value in the display.

In case the calculated zero point cannot be set within a certain time limit, which is dependent on the calculated movement, an alarm will be issued.

When the compressor stops, the slide will drop to the calculated zero point. The motor will stop, and hereafter the slide will be pushed down to the physical zero position by the built-in spring.

Once the differential pressure across the com-pressor has been equalized (Π=1), the calculated zero point and the physical zero position will be the same.

If the pressure conditions are changed during op-eration so that the calculated "zero point" of the slide is moved (whereby the corrected capacity is changed), the capacity may be a negative value for a certain period.

For all other screw compressor types than SAB 202 a "zero point" can be set manually, if required. This manually set zero point has the same func-tion as described above in the sections for com-pressor start and stop.

Corrected capacityUNISAB II will automatically correct the capacity reading in relation to both the new calculated zero point and to the Vi slide position when automatic

Vi regulation is included.

With manual Vi regulation the capacity reading is

automatically corrected in relation to the new cal-culated zero point.

Remember that whenever the Vi slide is moved

manually, the position transmitter of the capacity slide must be recalibrated at 100%.

The corrected capacity is calculated according to the following principle:

Fig. 5.5

The capacity slide signal from the position trans-mitter is scaled in such a way that 0% is read when the slide position corresponds to the calcu-lated/set zero point, and 100% is read when the capacity slide meets the Vi slide, regardless of

whether the setting is carried out automatically or manually.

Automatic setting of new zero point (SAB 202)The zero point for the various types of SAB 202 is calculated according to a programmed algorithm.

The current calculated value of the zero point is displayed in picture:

SETUP I DIAGNOSIS I ZERO CAPACITY POS.

With manual Vi regulation the zero point is correct-

ed and set automatically, corresponding to an op-timum setting of the Vi slide. Consequently, it is of

great importance that the setting of the Vi slide is correct.

Manual setting of new zero point (all types of screw compressors)For all screw compressor types without automat-ic zero point setting, it is possible to set a "zero point" manually, below which the compressor ca-pacity slide is not allowed to drop while the com-pressor is operating.

For SAB 202S and SAB 202L, which have auto-matic settings of the zero point, manual setting is usually not allowed.

The manual setting of the zero point is carried out in the picture SETUP I CONFIG. in the configu-ration point:

MANUAL ZERO 0.0%

The setting ranges between 0-40% of max capac-ity slide travel (at Vi ratio = 2).

With manual Vi regulation the zero point is cor-

rected automatically by a factor that depends on an optimum (calculated) setting of the Vi-slide.

Consequently, it is very important that the set-ting of the Vi slide is correct.

Built-in spacer block If the compressor has a built-in spacer block and Vi regulation is automatic, the MECHANICAL

ZERO must be set on YES. Thus, the travel of the capacity slide will be reduced by the % value [0-40%] which is entered in MANUAL ZERO so that the corrected capacity may be calculated and shown correctly.

The value [0-40%] that must be entered in MAN-UAL ZERO must have the following size:

Setting of MECHANICAL ZERO is carried out in the picture SETUP I CONFIG. in the configura-tion point:

The position transmitter is calibrated with the spacer block mounted and the Vi-slide in minimum

The alarm In case the slide cannot reach the position corre-sponding to a calculated or set zero point (ie a positive read capacity) before the expiry of the timer Tcap.neg., the compressor will be stopped with

the following alarm:

CAPACITY ERROR

Each second the timer Tcap.neg. is counting down by

a factor somewhere between 1 and 180 depend-ing upon the read negative capacity. Each time the slide moves above 0% read capacity, the timer

will be stopped. The timer is reset (set to the reset value) and is restarted once the slide moves be-low -2% capacity.

The timer is set in the picture SETUP I TIMERS I TIMER RESET in the timer

It is very important that the timer has been set cor-rectly. Too low a value will result in the alarm Ca-pacity error. Too high a value will make the com-pressor run for too long a period with a negative capacity.

ConfigurationTo obtain a correct calculation of the zero point, it is important that the compressor type and swept volume have been entered correctly.

The swept volume of the compressor is deter-mined on the basis of:

Compressor typeRPM (50/60 Hz)Male/female rotor

In case of SAB 202, UNISAB II will automatically enter a swept volume value corresponding to the S type with Male rotor and a 2-pole 50 Hz motor, ie 1229 m3/h. The correct swept volume must be based on the number of revolutions of the com-pressor, ie 50/60 Hz supply, and on whether the compressor has male or female rotor drive:

SAB 202 SM/ 50 Hz, swept volume = 1229 m3/hSAB 202 SM/ 60 Hz, swept volume = 1475 m3/hSAB 202 SF/ 50 Hz, swept volume = 1843 m3/hSAB 202 SF/ 60 Hz, swept volume = 2212 m3/hSAB 202 LM/ 50 Hz, swept volume = 1590 m3/hSAB 202 LM/ 60 Hz, swept volume = 1908 m3/hSAB 202 LF/ 50 Hz, swept volume = 2385 m3/hSAB 202 LF/ 60 Hz, swept volume = 2862 m3/h

Electrical slide control

(Screw compressors SAB 250 and SAB 330)

These screw compressors are fitted with a capac-ity slide (master slide) driven by an AC motor through magnetic transmission, gearbox and spindle, as well as a hydraulical Vi slide (baby

slide) which is controlled by a solenoid valve. The digital output for the valve is always controlled au-tomatically by UNISAB II. Only the capacity slide is fitted with a position transmitter.

Note that the minimum pulse when moving the ca-pacity slide is 1 second. For a SAB 330L this cor-responds to a minimum capacity position change of 1.8%. It is very useful to have this in mind when adjusting the PID regulators. Further, there is a pause of at least 1 second when changing the ro-tation direction of the motor.

Part load and full loadAs regards capacity control and Vi adjustment, there are two operating modes: Part load and full load.

At full load, the capacity is by definition 100%. By activating the solenoid valve, the Vi slide is forced

in mesh with the capacity slide. The Vi is then ad-

justed by changing the capacity slide position, which consequently moves the Vi slide. Note that

in the survey pictures, full load is indicated in the

fourth line by a solenoid valve symbol:

At part load, the Vi slide is reset to minimum po-

sition by deactivating the solenoid valve. The ca-pacity slide is moved according to the capacity re-quirement.

UNISAB II changes from part load to full load mode when the capacity exceeds the selected limit, VI MODE included in the picture SETUP I

CONFIG I COMPRESSOR. The default limit is VI MODE = 97%, but it can be adjusted in the range 70 to 97%.

UNISAB II returns to part load when the capacity requirement decreases.

The changes described are performed automati-cally in any of the modes MANUAL, AUTO and REMOTE.

Calculated Vi position

When changing to or running in full load mode, UNISAB II determines an optimal calculated Vi

position xVi [%] according to suction pressure/dis-

charge pressure ratio, compressor type, refriger-ant and whether there is an economizer. Further-more, the corresponding capacity slide position is calculated:

xcap [%] xVi =100 [%] -xVi [%] *

(Vi-slide [mm] /Cap-slide [mm])

While in full load mode, the xcap[%] xVi is the set

point of the capacity slide position regulator.

Change to full loadWhen changing from part load to full load, UNISAB II will run through the following steps:

1. Move capacity slide if necessary (see be-low).

2. Activate solenoid valve of Vi slide to force Vi

slide into mesh with capacity slide.

3. Move capacity slide (and thus Vi slide) to op-

timal position xcap [%] xVi.

As regards point 1, UNISAB II compares the above defined xcap [%] xVi with the actual capacity

slide position. If the actual position is much higher than xcap [%] xVi , the result would be an undesirable

power consumption if the Vi slide valve is activat-

ed immediately. Therefore, the capacity slide is

moved as quickly as possible down into the area where UNISAB II calculates that the power con-sumption will be reasonable. After this, UNISAB II will move on to points 2 and 3.

Change to part loadWhen changing from full load to part load, UNISAB II will run through the following steps:

1. If necessary, move capacity slide (and thus Vi slide) as close as possible to the limit VI

MODE to avoid undesirable capacity jumps. However, stop movement if/when reaching the limit for reasonable power consumption.

2. Deactivate solenoid valve of Vi slide to re-

lease Vi slide and move it to minimum posi-

tion.

3. If still necessary, move capacity slide to the limit VI MODE.

4. Change to normal capacity control.

Position indicationsIn the picture MOTOR, CAPACITY and VI POSI-TION are indicated.

At full load, CAPACITY indication will show 100%, while VI POSITION is calculated from the actual capacity slide position.

At part load, CAPACITY indication will show the actual capacity slide position, while VI POSITION is 0%.

Slide brake controlThe slide brake is released for a short time -BRAKE DLY - before the slide motor is activated. The brake is also released for the period of time BRAKE DLY after deactivating the slide motor. Brake DLY can be selected in the range 0 to 0.5 seconds in the picture DIAGNOSES I MISC. FUNCTIONS.

6. Limiting functionsUNISAB II includes a number of limiting functions (in the following called limiters).

The purpose of a limiter is to prevent shutdowns by limiting or even changing the compressor ca-pacity when the measured value exceeds the se-lected limits. In most cases, "changing the capac-ity" means decreasing it. However, this is not the case with all limiters.

In general, a limiter can be watching, passive or active. While all limiters are watching, the com-pressor start/stop and the capacity regulation will work normally.

While a limiter is passive or active, the compres-sor cannot be started. If the compressor is in op-eration, the capacity regulation will be partly disa-bled. Further, if a limiter is active, the capacity will be changed actively.

All relevant limiters are permanently in operation. If necessary, they will intervene in any of the oper-ating modes MANUAL, AUTO and REMOTE.

In case the compressor is in MANUAL mode and a limiter is active, the capacity slide will automat-ically be returned to its original value as soon as the limiter is watching.

When a limiter is passive or active, the red lamp will flash slowly, and the warning relay will be ac-tivated. Further, the display will show whether the limiter is passive or active.

There is a standard limiter for each of the follow-ing:

• Low suction pressure

• High discharge pressure

• High motor current

• Low brine temperature

• High water temperature

• High differential pressurePdiff =Pdisch - Psuct (HPO and

HPC reciprocating compressors)

Furthermore, the following special limiters exist:

• High suction pressure

• Suction ramp

• High discharge temperature

Standard limitersThe standard limiting function is based on the user selected high/low alarm limit, high/low warning limit and the limiting zone Lz. In the special case of the high motor current limiter, the value of Lz is 2% for screw compressors and 5% for reciprocat-ing compressors. In all other cases, Lz is calculat-ed as half the difference between the alarm limit and the warning limit.

Fig. 6.1illustrates how a standard limiter works with the high discharge pressure limiter as exam-ple.

Page 106: Unisab II(0178-445-ENG-logo)[1]

6. Limiting functions

106/222 0178-445 - ENGRev. 03.09

UNISAB II 2.03

Fig. 6.1

In the example, the alarm (= shutdown) limit for high discharge pressure has been set for 16 bar, while the warning limit is 14 bar. As indicated, the size of the limiting zone (Lz) is then (16 -14) / 2 = 1 bar. The limit of the limiting zone is thus warning limit - Lz = 14 -1 = 13 bar.

As shown in Fig. 6.1, most reciprocating compres-sor limiters differ from the corresponding limiters for screw compressor in the way that when the measured value is within the limiting zone, the sta-tus of the limiter will depend on whether the limiter has been watching or active. If the limiter has been watching, it will remain watching in the limit-ing zone. If the limiter has been active, it will be-come passive for as long as it is in the limiting zone.

Motor current limiterEven the high motor current limiter is special for reciprocating compressors. When one stage is disengaged due to the limiter, the resulting motor current drop will be measured. It is assumed that if the stage is re-engaged, the motor current will increase by the size of the drop. To avoid disen-gaging and re-engaging in turn, the limiter will en-sure that the stage will not be re-engaged until the resulting current will be below 95% of the limit for the limiter zone.

Note that the warning limit for motor current is SET POINT 1 selected in the picture MOTOR I

MOTOR POWER. If SETPOINT 1 = 1000 kW, the limit for the limiting zone will be 1000 - 2% = 980 kW for screw compressors, and 1000 - 5% = 950 kW for reciprocating compressors.

Limiter is watching. Normal control, capacity can increase or decrease. If compressor is not in operation, it can be started.

Limiter changes from watching to passive.

Limiter is passive. Capacity cannot be increased. Capacity is not reduced by Limiter, but possibly by egulator. If compressor is not running, it cannot be started.

Limiter becomes active. Capacity is reduced at once, and timer begins to count.

Limiter is active. At each timeout, capacity is reduced and timer restarted, until compressor stops at low capacity. If compres-sor is not running, it cannot be started.

Limiter changes from active to passive.

Limiter changes from passive to watching.

Compressor is stopped (shutdown) immediately.

High difference pressure limiterNote in particular that this limiter only applies to HPO and HPC compressors and that it has a fixed warning limit of 25.2 bar and a fixed alarm limit of 26 bar. The limiter is released at 25 bar and it is passive between 25-25.2 bar.

Special limiters

High suction pressure limitation

It is possible to have a high suction pressure lim-iting function. The effect of this high suction pres-sure limiting function is that the compressor ca-pacity is limited to an adjustable max value when-ever the suction pressure is above the suction pressure warning limit.

Max capacity at "high suction pressure limitation" is set in picture: SETUP I CALIBRATE I CAP. LIMIT as: LIMIT HIGH xxx.x%. High limit can be set between 0% and 100% where a setting of 100% disables the function.

In the WARNING picture the text "SUCT. PRESS HIGH LIM" will appear.

Suction rampWith the timer SUCTION RAMP it is possible to in-dicate the speed at which the compressor is al-lowed to lower its suction pressure 1°C. The func-tion, which is used for as long as the compressor is working down towards its normal operating point, is a combination of low suction pressure lim-iting function and a ramp function.

If the suction pressure ramp limiting function pre-vents the compressor from increasing its capacity above 5%, the timer STOP DELAY will not be ac-tivated and the compressor will continue operat-ing.

The suction pressure limitation without the ramp function can stop the compressor if capacity comes below 5% for a longer period.

High discharge pipe temperature (one-stage re-ciprocating compressors)

From version 1.10 and onwards a capacity limiting function has been entered for all one-stage recip-rocating compressors using refrigerant R717. This function is activated at certain operating con-ditions, especially at excessive differential pres-sure, corresponding to the operating diagram zone 2 (zone 4, however, for CMO, SMC 100 S/L and SMC 180).

At such operating conditions compressors of the CMO/HPO and SMC/HPC type must as minimum load 50% of their capacity when starting up and during operation.

At present the limit curve (which is a straight line) is fixed on the basis of a max permissible dis-charge pipe/oil temperature(T2max) of 150°C as

well as suction superheating of 10°C.

Whenever the limiting function is active, the fol-lowing will occur at start-up:

– Capacity stages corresponding to a min-imum of 50% will be loaded.

When the limiting function is active during opera-tion, with 50% capacity or more, the following will occur:

– It is impossible, both in MANUAL, AUTO or REMOTE, to unload capacity stages so that the capacity drops below 50%, ie 50/66% are the lowest capacity stages - also when "total unloading" has been se-lected.

– In AUTO and REMOTE the timer STOP DELAY will be started at 50/66% if the regulator sends out a down regulating signal. If one of the limiting functions is to unload capacity, the timer DELAY DOWN will be started at 50/66%.

Page 108: Unisab II(0178-445-ENG-logo)[1]

6. Limiting functions

108/222 0178-445 - ENGRev. 03.09

UNISAB II 2.03

If the compressor is operating at a capacity below 50% when the limiting function is active, the limit-ing function will not actively begin to load stages. However, the following will take place:

– In MANUAL the compressor will be stopped on the "total unloading timer" provided that the capacity stays below 50% for more than approx 4 mins.

– In AUTO and REMOTE the compressor will be stopped on the "total unloading timer" provided the regulator is neutral and capacity remains below 50% for more than approx 4 mins.

– If the regulator sends out a regulating down signal, the timer STOP DELAY will be started.

– If one of the other limiting functions is to unload capacity, the timer DELAY DOWN will stop at 50/66%.

– If the regulator sends out a regulating up signal and the compressor is loading stages so that capacity rises to 50% or more, the situation will be the same as the one described in the previous sec-tion.

In the WARNING picture the text LIMITING DIS-CHARGE TEMP. will appear if the compressor is to be stopped on the "total unloading timer" due to insufficient capacity or if the limiting function pre-vents the capacity from being reduced in MANU-AL, AUTO or REMOTE.

The limit curve (limiting zones 2/4) corresponds as standard to suction superheating of 10°C (factory value).

Since the limit curve is directly dependent on the suction superheating of the plant, the actual su-perheating of the plant must be entered as set point 2 in picture: SUCTION SIDE I SUCTION SUPERHEAT. I SETPOINT 2 if it differs from the above factory value.

Adjusting range: -10 - +30°C

By adjusting SET POINT 2 parameter for suction superheating upwards or downwards, the limit curve will be dislocated accordingly.

If SET POINT 2 is set for -10°C, the limit curve will be dislocated so much upward - 20°C compared to normal - that the limiting fuction will be discon-nected.

7. Compressor control and surveillanceThe various types of reciprocating and screw compressors start in differents ways. Some types have prelubrication whereas others start directly. Under all circumstances certain alarms are sup-pressed at this stage as described in sections Alarms and warnings and Timers.

SAB 202, SAB 163H/128H MK3 with oil pump & VMY Mk3 with full flow pumpThe pump is used for prelubrication and for main-taining of a minimum oil pressure level during op-eration. The pump is started and stopped in ac-cordance with the compressor differential pres-sure during operation.

The difference is set in the picture OIL I OIL PRESSURE I PARAMETER whereupon SET POINT 1 and SET POINT 2 appear.

SET POINT 1 is the pressure at which the pump is to start, and SET POINT 2 is the pressure at which the pump is to stop. Consequently, adjust SET POINT 1 to the lowest pressure level.

Normal setting for SAB 202:

SET POINT 1 = 2.5 BarSET POINT 2 = 4 Bar

Move the cursor to SET POINT 1 and press G until the cursor moves to the right in the picture. With K and J set the value. When the value has been set, press G once more.

In the same way adjust SET POINT 2.

If the compressor differential pressure (discharge pressure - suction pressure) is below SET POINT 1 during operation, the pump will start immediate-ly.

When the compressor differential pressure has been higher than SET POINT 2 for 60 sec, the pump will stop.

Starting sequenceWhen the compressor has received starting per-mission, the oil full flow pump will start. Make sure that the capacity slide is in minimum position. On SAB 202 this is generally always the case as the slide is pushed down by a spring.

The oil is pumped into the compressor lubrication system, and when the oil flow switch is activated, the prelubrication period will start.

When the time has expired the compressor is started and the pump will now run for min 60 sec. The pump will stop when the differential pressure is above SET POINT 2 as described above.

Alarm surveillance

During start the following alarms are delayed:

SAB 128HR and 163HR with oil pumpThe compressors SAB 128 and SAB 163 HR are frequency regulated screw compressors, ie the capacity slide is fixed in maximum position and cannot be moved.

The electric oil pump is used for prelubrication and for maintenance of a minimum oil pressure during operation.

The pump is started and stopped in accordance with the compressor differential pressure during operation.

The difference is set in the picture OIL I OIL PRESSURE I PARAMETER whereupon SET POINT 1 and SET POINT 2 will appear.

Normal setting for SAB 128/163 HR:

SET POINT 1 = 2.5 BarSET POINT 2 =4.0 Bar

Set points are adjusted as described in the previ-ous section.

Starting sequenceOnce the compressor has received permission to start, the oil pump will start and oil will be pumped into the compressor lubrication system.

The oil flow switch must be activated within 600 seconds to avoid disconnection.

When the oil flow switch is activated, the solenoid valve (capacity slide down) will be open for 15 seconds and the electric fan will start. The fre-quency converter will receive a signal to start.

The speed is increased to 1000 rpm in 10 sec-onds.

The pump will operate for a minimum of 60 sec-onds and stop if the differential pressure is higher than SET POINT 2 as described above.

Alarm surveillanceDuring start the following alarms are delayed:

See also section Timers.

SAB 283, SAB 330 and SAB 355 with oil pumpThe pump is used for prelubrication and for main-taining a minimum oil pressure level during oper-ation. The pump is started and stopped in accord-

ance with the compressor differential pressure during operation.

The difference is set in the picture OIL I OIL PRESSURE I PARAMETER whereupon SET POINT 1 and SET POINT 2 will appear.

SET POINT 1 is the pressure at which the pump is to start, and SET POINT 2 is the pressure at which the pump is to stop. Consequently, adjust SET POINT 1 to the lowest pressure level.

Normal setting for SAB 250/330:

SET POINT 1 = 2.5 BarSET POINT 2 = 4.0 Bar

Move the cursor to SET POINT 1 and press G until the cursor moves to the right of the picture. With K and J set the value. When the value has been set, press G once more.

In the same way adjust SET POINT 2.

If the compressor differential pressure (discharge pressure - suction pressure) is below SET POINT 1 during operation, the pump will start immediate-ly.

When the compressor differential pressure has been higher than SET POINT 2 for 60 sec, the pump will stop.

Starting sequence

When SAB 250/330 compressor stops, UNISAB II will attempt to move the capacity slide below 5% capacity. If this does not succeed, a CAPACITY ERROR alarm will be issued and the compressor will not start.

When the compressor has recieved starting per-mission, the oil full flow pump will start.

The oil is pumped into the compressor lubrication system, and when the oil flow switch is activated, the prelubrication period will start.

When the time has expired, the compressor will start and the pump will now run for min 60 sec.

SAB 80 with fitted (mechanical) oil pump

Starting sequenceWhen the compressor has received starting per-mission, it must be checked if the capacity slide is in minimum position. Before starting the compres-sor, the oil level switch in the oil separator must be activated.

Start the compressor.

After a delay of 60 seconds from compressor start, no signal from the level switch for more than 10 seconds will result in disconnection.

Alarm surveillance

During start the following alarms are delayed:

See also section Timers

GSV/RWF with oil pumpThe pump is used for prelubrication and for main-taining a minimum oil pressure level during oper-ation. The pump is started and stopped in accord-ance with the compressor differential pressure during operation.

The difference is set in the picture OIL I OIL PRESSURE I PARAMETER whereupon SET POINT 1 and SET POINT 2 will appear.

SET POINT 1 is the pressure at which the pump is to start whereas SET POINT 2 is the pressure at which the pump is to stop. Consequently, set SET POINT 1 for the lowest pressure level.

Normal setting for GSV/RWF: SET POINT 1 = 2.5 bar. SET POINT 2 = 4.0 bar.

Move the cursor to SET POINT 1 and press G until the cursor has moved to the right side of the picture. Set the value by means of K and J . When the value has been set, press G once more.

SET POINT 2 is set in the same way.

If the compressor differential pressure (discharge pressure - suction pressure) is below SET POINT 1 during operation, the pump will start immediate-ly.

When the compressor differential pressure has been higher than SET POINT 2 for 60 seconds, the pump will stop.

Starting sequenceWhen the compressor has received starting per-mission, check whether the capacity slide is still in minimum position. In case of compressor stop, make sure that the capacity slide and the volume slide (if fitted with automatic Vi) are in minimum

position.

Before start-up the oil level switch in the oil sepa-rator must be active. If this is not the case, an alarm for oil system error will be issued.

No signal from the oil level switch will result in dis-connection after a delay of 60 seconds from com-pressor start or during operation.

If the oil level switch is active, the prelubrication period will begin and the oil will be pumped into the compressor lubrication system. When the time period has expired, the compressor will start and the pump will run for min 60 seconds. The pump will stop if the differential pressure is higher than SET POINT 1.

External starting permission -normal stopThis input and IMMEDIATE STOP must be con-nected before the compressor is going to start in AUTO or REMOTE. If the input has not been con-nected, the display will read STOPPED in the bot-tom line.

If the input is opened during operation, the com-pressor capacity will move to its minimum posi-tion, and the compressor will stop on its delay be-fore the actual time to stop.

In case the input CAPACITY DOWN BLOCKED is connected, the compressor will not reduce capac-ity once the input EXTERNAL STARTING PER-MISSION NORMAL STOP is opened.

Oil charging, manual (screw compressors)Oil charging cannot take place with UNISAB II in "STOPPED". If the compressor is fitted with an oil pump for oil charging, it can be started in the fol-lowing way:

Select menu TIMERS I OIL CHARGING and the following picture will appear:

Place the cursor on TIMER and press G until the cursor moves to the right. Set the number of sec-onds the pump is to run. Press G and move the cursor back to START OIL PUMP. Press G until the cursor moves to the right, then select YES with J or K .

The pump will now start and run for the time set.

For SAB 202, SAB Mk3 and VMY Mk3 compres-sors a warning "Watch the oil pressure" will be is-

sued while the oil pump is in manual operation for oil charging.

If the pump is to stop before time expiry, select NO under START OIL PUMP.

Note: As from 2001 SAB 128/163 Mk3 and SAB 202 are no longer as standard fitted with a valve for external connection to the oil pump suction side. Thus it is not possible to charge oil with the unit oil pump.

Motor current measuringUNISAB II can be supplied with a signal 0-1 Amp AC directly from a current transformer in the com-pressor motor starter.

The value for the voltage ratio of the current trans-former must be entered in the menu CONFIG I RANGE M. CURR to get a correct reading of the current.

Next, select menu MOTOR I MOTOR CUR-RENT and the following picture will appear:

In SET POINT 1 enter the motor full load current of the motor as read on the name plate. In SET POINT 2 a lower value may be entered if the ab-sorbed current is to be limited in certain periods.

Set points are set by placing the cursor on SET POINT 1 or SET POINT 2 respectively. Press G until the cursor moves to the right. The correct number can now be set by using J or K .

COP set-upUNISAB II can be set for measuring compressor COP (Coefficient Of Performance), mechanical efficiency as well as Carnot efficiency.

Together with suction and discharge pressure and temperature, the following values form basis of the calculations:

• Temperature of chilled liquid before evapo-rator.

• Volume flow of cooling gas on pressure side (m3/h).

• Motor power consumption in kW.

• Motor efficiency.

The measuring of these values are set in the pic-ture CONFIG I COP.

The COP function is connected and disconnected in the menu SETTING I CONFIG I COP AC-TIVE, cf section Configuration.

The calculated COP values are shown in the pic-ture SETTING I DIAGNOSIS I COP.

A more comprehensive description of the COP funtion and its setting is included in the manual UNISAB II-COP.

Thermistor connectionIf the motor is fitted with thermistors for protection of the motor temperature, these can be connected directly to a digital input. See wiring diagrams.

Should the motor temperature rise excessively, the compressor will stop.

• READY-EXT.

This function is connected to a digital output. See wiring diagrams.

1) READY: If selecting this function, the output will be activated when the compressor is ready for operation in REMOTE. This means that AUTO START has been config-ured (and AUTO STOP), EXTERNAL START NORMAL STOP has been set. There are no alarms - and the compressor can start.

2) AT MIN CAP: If selecting this function, the output will be activated when the compres-sor is below LOW LIMIT, which is set in the menu CALIB I CAP. LIMIT. The hysterisis is 1%.

3) AT MAX CAP: Select this function and the output is activated when the compressor is above HIGH LIMIT, which is set in the menu CALIB I CAP. LIMIT. The hysterisis is 1%.

Please note that the line CAP.LIMITER is not in-cluded in the CALIBRATION menu until the auxil-iary output has been selected as either AT MIN. CAP. or AT MAX. CAP.

4) RUNNING: If selecting this function, the out-put will be activated whenever the compres-sor is operating, ie when the start signal to the compressor has been set.

5) READY-EXT.: This function corresponds to the above READY function, but here it is not required that EXTERNAL START NORMAL STOP must be set for the output to be acti-vated. The function works both in REMOTE and AUTO.

Capacity down blockedWhen the compressor is in max capacity in AUTO or REMOTE, it is possible to lock the compressor

in this state by closing a digital input. See wiring diagrams. The input overrules EXTERNAL STARTING PERMISSION, NORMAL STOP.

In case the compressor runs in limited operation, it will, however, reduce its capacity. When the state of operation is back to normal, the compres-sor will return to full load. See also Limitations.

If the input is connected while the compressor is READY to start in AUTO or REMOTE, the com-pressor will be started by force.

Power management system (PMS)This function works in MANUAL, AUTO or RE-MOTE operation. It is a kind of "an agreement to start" system, consisting of one digital output "Compressor ready to start", which is set when the compressor is to start, as well as a digital input "Permission to start OK". This input must be set before the timer "PMS confirmation" expires in or-der for the compressor to start.

The alarm "Power management system error" is activated if the input "Permission to start OK" has not been set before the timer "PMS confirmation" expires.

The signal can be removed during operation with-out stopping the compressor.

Cold store functionThis function is connected to the regulators for ca-pacity regulation of the compressor.

Usually, the compressor is going to start in AUTO or REMOTE/MULITSAB if the measured value is outside the neutral zone and a capacity require-ment exists.

If COLD STORE FUNCTION has been selcected in the menu CONFIG, the compressor will not start until the measured value is outside the P

Band. After this, it will regulate normally in accord-ance with the set point.

Fig. 7.1

Note on screw compressorsIt is not recommended to use the cold store function on screw compressors!

HP on TWO-STAGEThis function is used on two-stage plants to start HP compressors by force.

HP on TWO-STAGE must have been selected in the menu CONFIG. The function only works in REMOTE/MULTISAB.

A compressor is started by force by closing the in-put EXT START, NORMAL STOP. The first com-

pressor is now going to start within the period of time set in the timer START HPRESS.

After this, the compressors will regulate normally on the capacity regulator.

Please note that the last compressor in operation in a MULTISAB system (usually the no 1 com-pressor in the starting sequence) will not stop on the timer STOP DELAY. It can only be stopped by opening the input EXT START, NORMAL STOP, which makes the compressor stop for a moment.

Oil return (reciprocating compressors)The solenoid valve for oil return from the oil sepa-rator/oil reservoir to the compressor will be open when the compressor starts and an ON signal is issued from one digital input (or in the case of two-stage compressors two digital input).

In case of a one-stage compressor, only the digital input for high-pressure oil separator is used. Here, the input must be ON before the digital output oil return is set.

In case of two-stage compressors where both the IP and HP part may have their own oil separator, the digital inputs INTERMEDIATE PRESSURE OIL RETURN and HIGH PRESSURE OIL RE-TURN are used. Here, both inputs must be ON before setting the digital output for oil return.

From version 1.10 the opening of the solenoid valve(s) for oil return can be combined with an ad-justable time delay.

At compressor start the output(s) for oil return is/are not opened until the time set in the timer OIL RETURN has expired.

The time delay function will be disconnected if the timer OIL RETURN is set for 0 sec or when the digital inputs for intermediate and high pressure oil return are OFF.

Oil heating Oil heating is NOT a configuration point, but it has various functions depending on whether the com-pressor in question is configured as a reciprocat-ing or a screw compressor.

Screw compressorsA heating element will be connected while the compressor is not in operation and there is no temperature regulation.

Reciprocating compressors

The heating element outlet is activated by de-creasing oil temperature. This function is active both at compressor stand-still and when the com-pressor is in operation.

The set point of this value is set in picture OIL TEMP I PARAMETER, SET POINT 2. The set point has a fixed hysteresis of 5K.

Ex: Set point 2 = 35°C: Heating starts at 35°C and stops at (35+5) = 40°C.

8. CalibrationBefore initial compressor start-up and after service1), adjustments of transducers and position transmitters must be carried out. Their values have usually been preset by the factory, but a re-check must be made before start-up. This is very important as failure to adjust may lead to malfunc-tion during operation.

1) Eg in connection with replacement of CPU prints, relay prints, pressure transducers or batter-ies. See also section Service.

Insufficient or incorrect setting of pressure transducers may lead to compressor breakdown or personal injury.

The temperature sensors must be calibrated as they are connected electrically with four conduc-tors, which automatically makes up for line resist-ance.

Pressure transducersCalibrate the pressure transducers at atmos-pheric pressure in the compressor.

Note that some of the entries in the CALIBRATE menu are described in other chapters of this man-ual.

With the cursor on PRESS.TRANSDUCER, press I and the following picture will appear:

Note: The pressure values shown are examples only. At atmospheric pressure the value of the pressure transducer must be within the limits for "Max. permissible deviation at atm.pressure" as indicated in the above table. Is this not the case, the value will be outside its tolerance and must be replaced.

The pressure levels are measured in BAR (rela-tive pressure) and at atmospheric pressure the reading must show 0.0 Bar to be correct.

As it appears from the above example, the meas-ured pressure levels are not 0.0 Bar. Consequent-ly calibration must be carried out.

Place the cursor on SUCT. ADJUST and use the G key to change the value.

Now change the value to the value SUCT. AD-JUST is showin, ie 0.2 Bar with opposite sign. Note that the adjusting value is in 1/100.

Calibration of motor frequency signalWhen compressor capacity is regulated wholly or partly by changes in the motor speed, the motor frequency signal from the frequency converter can be calibrated in this menu field.

Motor currentThe reading of motor current can be calibrated as described in section Configuration, pos. 19.

Hydraulic slide systems (certain screw compressors)The built-in capacity slide position transmitter as well as the Vi slide position transmitter must be adjusted correctly to ensure safe and stable slide control. This adjustment must always be carried out mechanically as described in section Trans-mitter adjustment. Additionally, the capacity signal

can be adjusted by software as described in sec-tion Software adjustment.

Software adjustmentWhen the capacity position transmitter has been adjusted mechanically (see section Transmitter adjustment), it can be fine adjusted by selecting SETUP I CALIBRATE I CAPACITY.

Follow the same procedure as described for ca-pacity slide calibration in section Transmitter ad-justment.

0 % calibration is carried out with the capacity slide in minimum position. If CAPACITY is not showing 0.0 %, but eg 1.5 %, position the cursor on CAP. ZERO AD and change the calibration val-ue to -1.5 % with the G key.

100 % calibration is carried out with the capacity slide in maximum position. If CAPACITY is not showing 100.0 %, but eg 95.8 %, position the cursor on CAP. 100 ADJ and change the calibration value to 4.2 % with the G key.

Transmitter adjustment To ensure a safe and stable movement of the slides, the built-in position transmitter must be ad-justed correctly in the mechanical minimum and maximum of the slide. Furthermore, the slide ve-locity must be adjusted so that hunting is avoided. See also Adjusting slide velocity in section Com-pressor regulation.

Position transmitterFor measuring of slide position, the compressor is fitted with a position transmitter, which yields 4 - 20 mA to UNISAB II. There will always be fitted a transmitter at the capacity slide whereas there

With the cap/Vi slide in minimum position, adjust

zero until the display shows 0%. With the cap/Vi

slide at maximum positon, adjust span until the display shows 100%.

Capacity slide adjustment

Start the compressor in MANUAL and make sure that the capacity slide is in minimum. Adjust the zero screw of the transmitter until the display shows 0%.

Now bring the slide to its maximum position (eg when the current consumption is no longer rising), and adjust the span until the display shows 100%.

Return the slide to minimum and check.

Capacity slide adjustment, manual Vi

Follow the same procedure as above, but note that adjustment must be made each time the Vi

position is changed.

Capacity slide adjustment, auto Vi

To adjust the movement of the capacity slide the Vi slide must be in minimum position. The Vi slide

is brought to minimum the following way: Start the compressor in MANUAL, select SETUP I and then CAPACITY I.

The following picture will appear:

Select the Vi POSITION and press I to the follow-

ing picture:

0.0% in this picture indicates that UNISAB II will adjust the Vi slide automatically.

Change SETPOINT 1 to -10% which will change the Vi adjustment to manual and place the Vi slide

in minimum position.

Adjust the capacity slide position as above under Capacity slide adjustment.

Capacity slide adjustment, auto zero point

For SAB 202 compressors with automatic zero point setting, there are two applicable methods to ensure that the automatic zero point setting does not influence the adjusting of the transmitter zero.

1) Do not set the zero until the compressor has stopped and the slide is in mechanical zero.

2) Disconnect the automatic zero point setting while setting the transmitter zero. This can be done by setting MANUAL ZERO = 0.1 in the pic-ture SETUP I CONFIG I COMPRESSOR.

Remember to set MANUAL ZERO = 0.0 as soon as the capacity slide adjustment is accomplished. It is important that the compressor only runs for a brief period of time when the automatic zero point setting is disconnected.

It is assumed that the capacity slide has been set correctly.

Start the compressor in MANUAL and take the slide up to 20-30%.

Select CAPACITY I VI POSITION I and the fol-lowing picture will appear:

In this picture 0.0% will always mean that the Vi

slide will be adjusted automatically by UNISAB II.

Change SETPOINT 1 to -10%, which changes the Vi adjustment to manual and places the Vi slide in

minimum position.

Return with H to the picture:

and adjust the zero screw of the Vi position trans-

mitter until the reading out for the Vi-position is 0% in the display.

Change SET POINT 1 to 110% and return to the above picture where the Vi position is now going

to rise. Wait until it does not rise any further and

adjust the span screw of the transmitter until the display shows 100%.

Change SET POINT 1 to -10% and check mini-mum.

Change SET POINT 1 to 0.0% for automatic Vi

control. Besides, UNISAB II will change to auto-matic Vi control itself after the compressor has

been stopped.

1) Apply supply voltage for a minimum of five minutes before calibration.

2) Press the calibration button for five seconds to get the transmitter in calibration mode. The red LED will change from normal flash to OFF.

3) With stopped compressor, press the calibra-tion button once. The red LED will switch ON immediately. After ten seconds the red LED will turn OFF again, indicating that it is ready for 100% calibration.

4) Start the compressor and increase capacity to its maximum, and press the calibration button twice. The red LED will start flashing quickly. After ten seconds the red LED will change to normal flash rate, indicating that the calibration has been completed.To make sure that the slide is in maximum physical position, (UNISAB II does not allow the capacity button to be activated after 100% indication in the display has been reached) it is recommended to set “CAP 100 ADJ” at -10% after 100% calibration of the transmitter has been completed and the slide remains in maximum position. See the Software Calibration section earlier in this section. The slide indication in the display must now be 90%. If capacity can be in-creased further either automatically by UN-ISAB II or by pressing the “UP” capacity but-ton, the slide has not yet been calibrated correctly.

5) If capacity could be increased to more than 90%, cf. above, calibrate the slide again from point 1 but keep -10% in “CAP 100 ADJ”.

6) Reset “CAP 100 ADJ” at what it was before the calibration or until the capacity shows 100%.

7) The calibration will be remembered even in case of a power failure.

To return to “Factory Set Point”, press the CAL. Switch for twenty seconds. The green and red LED will give a short flash (one after the other). The 4-20 mA signal from the transmitter is perma-nently available. However, during calibration the signal is based on the default calibration values, so it will not show 0% at minimum capacity nor 100% at maximum capacity!

Note that it is possible to return to the default cal-ibration values by keeping the CAL Switch pressed for twenty seconds. However, it is the transmitter manufacturer's default values, which are reset. These values may differ very much from the correct values for the compressor in question. Reset is indicated by the red and green LED flash-ing briefly a couple of times.

9. Trouble shooting

If irregularities occur in connection with the run-ning of the compressor, it is possible to inspect UNISAB II to determine the cause of these irregu-larities.

Please note that even though the voltage to UNISAB II is disconnected, there may still be live wires containing unknown voltage.

Before beginning the trouble-shooting, disconnect the main supply to the compressor motor to pre-vent it from starting inadvertently.

There are light diodes on the printed circuit board. These diodes make it possible to state the condi-tion of the in- and outputs. It is also possible to en-ter different menu pictures and have various states displayed.

Finally, UNISAB II includes a function, which in case of an alarm will store the operating situation including time and date. This makes it possible subsequently to inspect this information on the display, which is particularly useful when search-ing for the cause of a compressor shutdown.

In this way UNISAB II can store up to 30 alarm sit-uations where the most recent alarm will replace the oldest one.

An interruption of the voltage to UNISAB II will not cause any loss of information. Thus, the informa-tion can be displayed again once the supply volt-age has been restored.

7) Diagnosis I Analog outputs

In this menu picture it is possible to see which an-alog output value (in percentage) UNISAB II is transmitting to the equipment to which it is con-nected. The signal is a 4-20 mA signal and is usu-ally used for regulating the speed of a frequency converter. When using analog regulation of the frequency converter, it is possible at the same time to regulate the capacity and Vi slides digitally.

This requires that UNISAB II be fitted with an add-on printed circuit board (UNICOM IF) between re-lay print and CPU print. The add-on board is addi-tional equipment. See section Configuration for detailed information on the use of this board.

As long as the above menu picture is shown in the display, it is possible to select test mode = YES and enter a test value between 0 and 100%. UNISAB II will thus transmit an mA signal corre-sponding to the test value.

Note: Do not let the compressor motor run when using test mode as the motor revolutions will fol-low the changes in the signal. However, test mode can be used to check whether the frequency con-verter receives the signal correctly by reading the analog input signal in the menu system of the con-verter.

8) Diagnosis I No of alarms

The total number of alarms in the working life of the control system is shown here.

Use K and J to inspect the list.

9) Diagnosis I Superuser keyword

In this picture any application of the superuser password including date and hour is registered.

Use K and J to inspect the list.

10) Diagnosis I Serial number

In this picture it is possible to read some of the in-formation related to the EEPROM

The compressor serial no can be read.

The date of compressor start-up (date of initial start-up) can be read.

By using a special password it is possible to erase the EEPROM.

11) Diagnosis I Examine memory This picture is used for software debugging. A section of 8 bytes from the RAM store is shown on the display. The starting address of this section, which is the figure shown at the top to the left, can be changed by means of H I and K J .

12) Diagnosis J New password

In this picture it is possible to change the pass-word. See section Operating the UNISAB II con-trol.

13) Diagnosis I Power onIn this picture it can be checked how many times the power supply for UNISAB II has be reconnect-ed. This menu is used for trouble shooting.

14) Diagnosis I Zero capacity pos.

The current calculated value of the zero point as well as any manual setting value of the zero point can be read in this picture:

(current reading 0-40%)(manual adjustment 0-40%)(immediate slide position, 4-20 mA)(corrected capacity - as read)

15) Diagnosis I COP

UNISAB II can be set to measure the compressor COP values (Coefficient Of Performance) as well as the mechanical efficiency and the Carnot effi-ciency.

The calculated COP values and a number of inter-mediate calculations are shown in this picture:

A more comprehensive description of the COP function and the setting of this can be found in the manual UNISAB II-COP.

16) Diagnosis I PROFICOM

Only for internal use within YORK Refrigera-tion, Marine Group.

In this menu picture it can be checked how UNISAB II communicates with other equipment using PROFIBUS communication. The use of PROFIBUS communication in UNISAB II has not yet been completed. At the moment PROFIBUS can therefore only be used for communication with Mitsubishi PLCs of the type FX2N.

UNISAB II 2.03

Printed circuit board, light diodesWhen opening the UNISAB II door, a number of light diodes can be inspected on the printed circuit boards.

The following signals have light diodes:

DIGITAL INPUTS (Green,12 pcs)

DIGITAL OUTPUTS (Red, 18 pcs)

COMMUNICATION (one red, one yellow, one green)

SUPPLY (One red)

CPU PRINT (One green, one red)

Positioning and identification of these light diodes can be seen from the following drawing.

DIGITAL INPUTS, DI1 to DI12 (Green)

The light diodes are marked from DI1 to DI12 and the attached functions appear from the list of in-puts.

Light in diode = input activated.

DIGITAL OUPUTS, DLR1 to DLR18 (Red)

The light diodes are marked from DLR1 to DLR18 and the attached functions appear from the list of outputs.

Light in diode = output activated.

COMMUNICATION DL12 (red), DL14 (yellow), DL13 (green)

In case UNISAB II communicates with other units, the flashing of the diodes must be irregular.

The red diode indicates that UNISAB II is trans-mitting information whereas the green diode indi-cates that information is being received.

SUPPLY, RST1 (red)

This diode will flash briefly while voltage is con-nected to UNISAB II. During normal operation the light is off.

In case the diode flashes repeatedly when voltage is connected, there may be an error in the voltage supply.

CPU PRINT, ACT1 (green), RST1 (red)

The green light diode must flash irregularly when-ever UNISAB II is electrified. A constant light or no light is a sign of malfunction.

The red light diode must usually be off. It is only on for brief moments in case the CPU tries to re-start the program. This may only happen while UNISAB II is switched on.

11. ServiceIn case some of the main parts of UNISAB II are defective, it is possible to replace them.

It is recommended to contact YORK Refrigeration before changing any of these parts.

The main parts comprise:

a. Door in which display and keyboard are fit-ted.

b. Relay print with wiring connections.

c. CPU print fitted on relay print.

d. Transformer.

The parts are shown below (see Fig. 11.1).

Fig. 11.1

All replacements must be carried out with UNISAB II in a state of no voltage. Remember that outside control voltage may be connected.

Disconnect the main supply to the motor to avoid risk of indadvertent start-up.

Replacement of doorRemove the blue and white plugs leading to the relay print (the two securing lugs must be bent a little backwards). Remove the two fuse straps as well as the earth connections.

Mount the new door in reverse order as opposed to the dismounting process.

Connect supply voltage.

Replacement of CPU printDismantle the door completely to provide free ac-cess to the printed circuit board.

Remove the screws with which the print is se-cured. Get hold of the bottom of the print and pull it out carefully. It may be fixed rather firmly as it is positioned in two plugs with connection to the re-lay print. It is important to pull at the side of the print in which the plugs are positioned to avoid pulling it out askew, thus damaging the print.

Move both EPROMS and EEPROM from the old CPU print to the new one.

Replacement of EPROM (program) UNISAB IIThe EPROMs are programmable modules, mounted in sockets in the microelectronic part of UNISAB II. Please note that there are two EPROMs, numbered 0 and 1, identified by white

labels. If replacement is necessary, always re-place both EPROMs as they belong together.

When replacing the EPROM or moving it from one UNISAB II unit to another, do as follows:

• Note the value of the hour counter as well as the calibration values for pressure transduc-ers and brine temperature.

• Switch off the power supply to UNISAB II.

• Switch off the compressor motor starter and observe all safety measures in accordance with the instruction manual, local rules and regulations.

• Place the door in service position as de-scribed in Operating UNISAB II

• The EPROM modules are positioned in the center of the printed circuit board (see Fig. 11.1).

• Each EPROM module is loosened from its socket by an authorized EPROM puller. Take care not to damage the pins on the EPROM module.

COPY EEPROM YES

EPROM and electronics in general can be damaged by static electricity. Therefore, make sure that static electricity is discharged without current passing through the electronics, ie touch the part on which the EPROM is posi-tioned both before and while picking up the EPROM. Touch also the box of the device in which EPROM is to be positioned both before and while fitting the EPROM. It is of course necessary to use the same hand that holds (or is going to hold) the EPROM.

When changing the EPROM in connection with an upgrade to an updated program version, it is rec-ommended to carry out a FACTORY RESET.

Before a FACTORY RESET is carried out, write down all the UNISAB II settings in the table UNISAB II settings, especially the parameters which are changed back to factory setting by a factory reset. This applies to the following param-eters:

– Alarm and warning limits, set points, PID parameters

– Timers, P band factors

– Capacity limits

See the table UNISAB II settings for a complete review.

The EEPROM (positioned in a socket) can be re-moved from UNISAB II in compliance with the same precautions as described under Replace-ment of EPROM.

The EEPROM must usually remain in the control as the control cannot function without the EEP-ROM. However, in case the contents of the EEP-ROM is to be examined by YORK Refrigeration, Denmark, it can be removed for inspection. When removing the EEPROM, switch off the control and have an empty EEPROM ready for insertion.

Once the new EEPROM has been fitted, switch on the control again. All information will now be cop-ied into the new EEPROM.

The control is now ready for operation with the same setup as before the EEPROM was re-moved.

Replacement of batteryThe battery is used primarily to ensure that the in-ternal clock runs accurately after a power failure. Moreover, the so-called RAM store is supplied during power failures.

The battery has an expected service life of 10 years and is of the Lithium type. It is not reloaded by the UNISAB II electronic circuit.

If the following picture appears in the display after a power failure, the battery should be replaced:

If a new battery is available, switch off the control and change the battery. Dispose of the old battery in conformity with the environmental rules and regulations in force.

Mount a new battery and switch on the control, and the above picture will appear once more. An-swer YES and press the H key.

The compressor setup is now the same as before the power failure except for the calibration values for the pressure transducers and the brine tem-perature as well as the hour counter, which is now zero. These values are included in the compres-sor Starting-up Manual.

Remember to set time and date as well as lan-guage. The compressor is now operational.

In case no new battery is available, answer YES to the above picture and follow the procedure for replacement of the EEPROM.

Please note that at the next power failure, the problem will be the same.

GroundingUNISAB II must always be grounded to the com-pressor frame. See drawing no. 2347-002 page AC038_13 under Supplementary material.

In case of a shut down, there can be large electri-cal potential on the compressor motor and thereby on UNISAB II.

The data communication cable screen provides a voltage equalisation between the UNISAB II units. The above mentioned electrical potential may

cause a large current surge through the cable screen. The screen may melt, causing the voltage equalisation to be broken and the communication to be hampered by noise.

To avoid this situation, it is strongly recommended to provide an extra equalising wire in parallel with the communication cable between all the units on the network, as indicated in the drawing no. 2347-002 page AC040_10 under Supplementary material.

12. MULTISAB regulation

IntroductionMULTISAB is a distributed compressor control system, which can capacity regulate reciprocating and/or screw compressors according to rules, which are set up in detail as described in the fol-lowing, and in a sequence set by the user.

MULTISAB is a distributed software module in-cluded in all UNISAB II, PROSAB II and UNISAB II units on delivery.

MULTISAB connects up to 14 compressors in one and the same communication system.

Fig. 12.1

The MULTISAB system is based on some basic rules:

1. The system is controlled and optimized ac-cording to suction pressure, brine tempera-ture, discharge pressure or external 4-20 mA signal, depending on the chosen type of regulation.

2. The programmed starting sequence is al-ways followed.

3. Screw compressors in operation are run to as high a capacity as possible.

4. It is acceptable that reciprocating compres-sors operate at part load.

MULTISAB is a regulating system for general ap-plication. Should special demands be made as to

the optimization of the compressors, it may be necessary to regulate the compressors externally. The plant itself may also make special demands as to regulating speed and accuracy, which makes a central external regulation necessary.

Such an alternative regulation can be carried out in several ways:

• controlling the digital input External start permission, normal stop

• using the digital output Auxiliary output

• using the 4-20 mA input Auxiliary input

• changing capacity set points from PC/PLC via COMSAB II/PCCOMSAB II.

UNISAB II 2.03

Fig. 12.2

In case compressor capacity is controlled through COMSAB II or PCCOMSAB II from a central com-puter, be aware of the time delay through the com-munication system.

It is possible to make an approximate calculation of this time delay. See COMSAB II instruction no 0171-400.

If UNISAB II is to be connected to controls of the UNISAB S/R or PROSAB II type, see the following instructions if the control units are part of the plant in question:

1) 0171-761 / UNISAB S-Control

2) 0171-772 / UNISAB R-Control

3) 0178-175 / UNISAB RT-Control

4) 0178-181 / UNISAB RTH-Control

5) 0171-729 / PROSAB II

6) 0171-743 / the MULTISAB system for PROSAB/UNISAB II

System setupTo be able to use MULTISAB, a number of points must be completed. Please find the checklist for MULTISAB setup (see the following pages). The points on the checklist can be explained as fol-lows:

A: All units that are to be included in the system must be connected physically.

See section Installation of data communication cable as well as Connecting diagrams to find information on the physical linking of UNISAB II units.

B: All units must be configured for intercommu-nication. See also section Configuration.

In SETUP I CONFIG a compressor number, COMPR. NO, beginning with no 1 and up-wards, corresponding to the number of com-pressors must be entered in each unit.

It is recommended to mark the compressors with this number.

Important!If two compressors have the same com-pressor number entered in UNISAB II, there will be no communication between the units.

In SETUP I CONFIG the communication speed, BAUD RATE, must be entered. In case the system only consists of UNISAB II units, usually choose the highest baud rate. In case the system consists of both UNISAB II and PROSAB II or UNISAB II units, choose 1200 baud. Note that it must be checked that all units on the network are able to run at the selected rate.

C: All units, especially screw compressors, must have a swept volume value entered.

In SETUP I CONFIG enter SWEPT VOLUME, which can be read on the compressor name plate. See section Configuration.

D: An entry must be made in all units whether the system contains a common evaporator and a common condenser.

In SETUP I CONFIG enter the current combina-tion of common evaporator and common condenser in COMMON EVAP/COND. See section Configuration.

E: All units must be have a system no and a starting no.

In SETUP I MULTISAB I MULTISAB STATE enter START NO and a SYSTEM NO. See section MULTISAB.

F: All units in the same system must agree on the way a regulating master (sys. regulator) is chosen.

In SETUP I CONFIG select the same PREF. MASTER in all UNISAB II units, COMPR# or START#. See section Configuration.

If selecting COMPR#, the UNISAB II with the low-est COMPR. NO (point B above) will always be SYS.REGULATOR. The only exceptions are if the UNISAB II is off power or discon-nected from the network. In such case, the UNISAB II with the next COMPR.NO will be SYS.REGULATOR. Note that a defective controlled input sensor does not lead to an automatic change of SYS.REGULATOR in this case.

If selecting START#, the UNISAB II with the low-est START.NO (point F above) will be SYS.REGULATOR for as long as the com-pressor belonging to this UNISAB II unit is running and ready. If the compressor is not available, UNISAB II is not in REMOTE mode, the controlled input sensor (point H below) is defective, or UNISAB II is off pow-

er or disconnected from the network, the UNISAB II unit with the next START.NO will be SYS. REGULATOR.

The SYS.REGULATOR is master of the co-ordi-nated capacity control, which also means that the controlled input sensor (point H be-low) on this particular UNISAB II unit in use. If only one compressor is required, it will usually be the compressor of the SYS.REG-ULATOR which is in operation. However, if COMPR# is selected, it may very well be another compressor.

Guidelines for selecting COMPR# or START#:

• COMPR# is easier and more safe if the con-trolled input is not available to all UNISAB II units.

• COMPR# must be selected if there are any PROSAB II or UNISAB I units on the sys-tem.

• START# is easier and more safe if equaliz-ing running hours is important, especially if all (or all but one) compressors must always be available.

• Always make sure that COMPR.NO is a fixed value, ie never change it to equalize running hours! However, START.NO is meant to be changed from time to time.

G: All units must be adjusted to remote control.

In SETUP I CONTROL COMPRESSOR.CTRL MODE is on REMOTE. See section Com-pressor regulation.

Regulation SetupH: All units must be configured to the desired

regulating method.

In SETUP I CONFIG adjust CONTROL ON to the desired regulating method. See section Configuration.

UNISAB II 2.03

The following four regulators are available. The last two have both a cooling and a warming function:

– Suction side (regulation of suction pressure)

– Discharge side (regulation of discharge pressure)

– Brine / hotwater (regulation of brine/water temperatures)

– Ext. cooling / Ext. heating(regulation of a user defined measuring value: temp./pressure/level).

– Note that all units that can become mas-ter must measure the same value to be used for the capacity control. If eg Brine / Hotwater temperature control is select-ed, a separate temperature sensor must be available to all the relevant UNISAB II units. Note that point F above describes how to select the master.

I: All units must (usually) be configured to both automatic start and automatic stop. If this is not the case, the compressor will not start up automatically in case cooling is required or stop automatically when cooling is not re-quired and the temperature becomes too low.

In SETUP I CONFIG, choose:

AUTO START= YES

AUTO STOP= YES

See section Configuration.

J: The chosen regulator must be set in all units.

In the picture for the parameter to be regulated, set the following:

1) Regulator set point, SP1 and possibly SP2

2) Regulator neutral zone, NZ

3) Regulator proportional band, PB

See section Compressor regulation.

Regulation of the entire system will usually take place on the basis of the regulator in the cur-rent regulating master (sys. regulator), ie the compressor with the lowest compressor or starting number.

Therefore it is particularly important that the pa-rameters of the configured regulator has been set correctly.

Always set the same set point on all other units in the same system (ie with the same SYS-TEM NO).

K: All units must have their timers adjusted.

In SETUP I TIMERS I TIMER SETUP the fol-lowing timers are set:

1) START DELAY, time delay before start.

2) STOP DELAY, time delay before stop.

See section Timers, Timer setup.

Both timers can be made to work proportionally (ie depending on the size of Pb).

In SETUP I TIMERS I P BANDFACTOR a proportional factor can be set for each of the timers.

This means that if only a small difference exists between the desired temperature (Sp) and the current one, the timer in the time delays will count very slowly (up to 10 times slower than the time set, depend-ing on the factor set).

If the difference between the desired temperature and the current one is considerable (outside the P Band), the timer in the time delay will count in seconds.

See sectionTimers, P Band factor.

In case of reciprocating compressors, another two timers must be set.

3) DELAY UP, time delay during loading of stages.

4) DELAY DOWN, time delay during unloading of stages.

Both of these timers can also be made to work proportionally (ie depending on the size of Pb).

In SETUP I TIMERS I P BAND FACTOR a pro-portional factor can be set for each of the timers.

L: In plants with a combination of screw and reciprocating compressors a number of fac-tors may be set to optimize compressor op-eration so that the two types of compressors are used in the best way possible. These factors can only be set on reciprocating compressors and will be effective only in case all reciprocating compressors have lower starting numbers than the screw com-pressors in the same system, and only if TAKE OVER is set to YES in SETUP I CONFIG, See section Configuration.

The optimization is carried out by the Trans-fer function and the Take-over function. It is not economical to run a screw compres-sor at low capacity. The Transfer function attempts to avoid this by reducing the ca-pacity of the reciprocating compressor(s), ie by transferring load to the screw compres-sor. The Take-over function increases the capacity of the reciprocating compressor(s) to make the screw compressor stop, ie by taking over load from the screw compres-sor.

In the section Example of regulation - a combination of screw and reciprocating compressors illustrative examples of the

Transfer and the Take-over situations are included.

As described below, several parameters are available to adjust the Transfer and the Take-over function.

In SETUP ITIMERS I TRANSFER a pro-portional factor FACTOR DOWN (1-10, de-fault 1) can be set for timer DELAY DOWN. It is used when MULTISAB wants to let a re-ciprocating compressor decrease its capac-ity in favour of a screw compressor at low capacity. A larger FACTOR DOWN makes MULTISAB wait longer before reducing the reciprocating compressor capacity another stage.

In SETUP I TIMERS I TRANSFER the size of a transfer zone ZONE can be set, ie the part of the proportional band (0-100%, default 15%) where transfer may take place.

In SETUP I TIMERS I TAKE-OVER a proportional factor FACTOR UP (1-10, de-fault 1) can be set for timer DELAY UP. It is used when MULTISAB wants to increase the capacity of the reciprocating compres-sor to force the screw compressor down be-low 5% capacity, making it stop. A larger FACTOR UP makes MULTISAB wait longer before increasing the reciprocating com-pressor capacity another stage.

In SETUP I TIMERS I TAKE-OVER a proportional factor FACTOR START (1-10, default 1) can be set for the START DELAY timer. It is used when MULTISAB wants to start a reciprocating compressor to take over the operation from a screw compressor which is running at low capacity.

In SETUP I TIMERS I TAKE-OVER the size of a take-over zone ZONE can be set, ie the part of the proportional band (0-100%,

UNISAB II 2.03

default 15%) where take-over may take place.

In SETUP I TIMERS I TIMER SETUP the following timers are found.

1) TAKE-OVER DELAY, time delay at take-over, fixed at 300 seconds. When a re-ciprocating compressor has calculated that it is possible to take over a subsequent screw compressor, it will pass into a take-over mode and start TAKE-OVER DE-LAY. If the reciprocating compressor during the entire count down of take-over delay can continue to take over, thus staying in the take-over mode, START DELAY will be ac-

tivated once TAKE-OVER DELAY expires.

2) TAKE-OVER MAX, max duration of a take-over attempt. When TAKE-OVER DE-LAY expires, the time delay TAKE-OVER MAX will also be activated to ensure that a reciprocating compressor will not use more than the TAKE-OVER MAX time during a take-over attempt. If the screw compressor has not stopped before the TAKE-OVER MAX expires, the reciprocating compressor will give up and stop. This delay function can be cancelled by setting the delay for 0 (default).

SETUP I MULTISAB I MULTISAB STATE shows which unit has been chosen as SYS. REG-ULATOR.

In case of two regulating systems or more, it is the compressor with the lowest number in the individ-ual system that works as system regulator.

The regulating compressor (SYS. REGULATOR) will regulate the other compressors in the system even if the compressor is in MANUAL, AUTO, STOPPED or SHUTDOWN.

Only if the voltage supply or the communication is disconnected, the system will automatically select a new system regulator, which will be the unit with the second lowest number.

A compressor will not be part of the MULTISAB system if it is in either MANUAL, AUTO, STOPPED or SHUTDOWN, or if the digital inputs EXTERNAL START-NORMAL STOP and EX-TERNAL START-IMMEDIATE STOP have not been connected.

Moreover, the compressor will not be part of the MULTISAB system if it is in REMOTE/capacity re-mote control with either a 4-20 mA external signal or communication signal.

The way the system operates can be varied de-pending on whether a reciprocating or a screw compressor comes first in the sequence. Like-wise, the way the system operates can be varied with screw compressors of different sizes, de-

pending on whether a small or large compressor comes first.

If compressors of different sizes are mixed, unfor-tunate part load conditions may occur, depending on the sequence.

Be aware that if a screw compressor has the low-est starting number, it may go down on low capac-ity even at small loads.

In case of mixed systems, it is recommended that all reciprocating compressors in a system is placed one after the other, followed by the screw compressors, or vice versa. The take-over and transfer functions will only be effective in case all of the reciprocating compressors have lower start-ing numbers than the screw compressors in the same system.

Start and system numbers - pref. master = START#

In example A, K1 will be the regulator (system regulator) of the entire system, but only if it is operating or able to start.

If K1 is stopped because of an alarm or if one of the digital inputs EXTERNAL START - NORMAL STOP or EXTERNAL START- IMMEDIATE STOP is disconnected - and a cooling requirement still exists, the next compressor in the starting sequence will be the regulator of the entire system provided that it is op-erating or able to start - and that it does start. In the above example K2 will become the regulator.

In example B, K5 will be the regulator (system regulator) of the entire system, but only if it is operating or able to start.

If K5 is stopped - and a cooling requirement still exists, the next compressor in the starting sequence will become the regulator of the entire system provided that it is operating or able to start - and that it does start. In the above example K4 will become the regulator.

SETUP I MULTISAB I MULTISAB STATE shows which unit has been chosen as SYS. REG-ULATOR.

In case of two regulating systems or more, it is the compressor with the lowest number in the individ-ual system that works as system regulator.

The regulating compressor (SYS. REGULATOR) will regulate the other compressors in the system, but only if the compressor is in REMOTE/MULTI-SAB and at the same time operating or ready to start.

A compressor will not be part of the MULTISAB system if it is in either MANUAL, AUTO, STOPPED or SHUTDOWN, or if the digital inputs EXTERNAL START-NORMAL STOP and EX-TERNAL START-IMMEDIATE STOP have not been connected.

Moreover, the compressor will not be part of the MULTISAB system if it is in REMOTE/capacity re-mote control with either a 4-20 mA external signal or communication signal.

Note:The described example of possible configuration where the pref.master = START# can only be used for plants (systems) which are fitted solely with UNISAB II units. The function cannot be used together with a PROSAB II, UNISAB S or UNISAB R / RT/ RTH. In such cases set pref.master = COMPR# on UNISAB II.

TimersSTART DELAY = 60 sec.

During the running-in time, adjustment of the val-ues will be required.

If Nz is reduced, the plant will react to minor tem-perature variations in relation to the set point. This will result in a frequent regulation of the compres-

sors. By increasing Nz the temperature can vary within a larger area before a temperature regula-tion becomes necessary.

If Pb is reduced, the plant will react faster to changes in temperature to return to its set point. This usually leads to temperature variations close to the set point, but with frequent loading/unload-ing of compressor capacity.

If Pb is increasedl the plant reaction will be slower, and this can prevent frequent oscillations around the set point.

START DELAY is meant to prevent inadvertent start of a subsequent compressor. In case the compressor runs above 95% capacity and the temperature is above the set point, START DE-LAY will be started on the next compressor in the sequence. Should the temperature reach the set point, ie be within the neutral zone before START DELAY expires, the following compressor will not start.

Should the temperature rise excessively before start of the next compressor, START DELAY must be reduced.

In case of too frequent compressor starts/stops, START DELAY must be increased.

STOP DELAY determines the time the compres-sor runs at minimum capacity before stop. If quick stop is required, reduce STOP DELAY. If the com-pressor is to run for a longer period, increase STOP DELAY.

The above is a general description of the various setting potentials. The final settings will depend completely on the plant in question.

The MULTISAB status, shown in picture SETUP I MULTISAB I MULTISAB STATE, is marked with --.

At increasing cooling requirements and conse-quent capacity loading, compressor K1 will in-crease capacity until 100% capacity is reached.

The loading speed depends on how far the imme-diate temperature is above the set point that has been entered into the regulator.

If a cooling requirement still exists, ie the immedi-ate temperature is above the set point and the ca-pacity of K1 is above 95%, the time delay (START DELAY) will start up in UNISAB II on compressor K2. The timer will count down from its set point to zero, and compressor K2 will start. (Should the temperature reach the set point, ie be within Nz before START DELAY expires, K2 will not start).

When the above has taken place, screw compres-sor K1 Lead compr. will run slowly down from 100% while K2 will increase its capacity Lag com-

pr.. When the compressors meet, ie when their slide position is the same, they will continue to regulate in parallel (see Fig. 14.1).

How much screw compressor K1 decreases in ca-pacity and how fast in order to meet K2 depends completely on the strength of the "UP" regulating signal.

With screw compressors K1 and K2 at 100% and with a persistent cooling requirement, START DE-LAY will be started on screw compressor K3. After a count-down to zero, K3 will start up. K1 will be kept at 100% Runs at max. capacity and K2 and K3 will regulate in parallel.

With a persistent cooling requirement and with K1, K2 and K3 at 100%, START DELAY will be started on screw compressor K4. The timer will count down to zero, and K4 will start up. K1 and K2 will be kept at 100% Runs at max. capacity and K3 and K4 will regulate in parallel.

Fig. 14.1

When two screw compressors regulate in parallel, it means that they follow each other up and down in capacity and that both units will try to keep the same capacity +/- approx 2%.

If the two compressors that regulate in parallel have equal capacities, the capacity change at any given relocation of the capacity slide will be dou-bled compared to the regulation of a single com-pressor.

MULTISAB compensates for this by reducing (by half) the up and down regulating speed.

Unloading sequenceThree of the four plant compressors are assumed to be in operation, K1 at 100% Runs at max ca-pacity, K2 Lead compr. and K3 Lag compr. both in parallel operation at eg 90%.

At decreasing cooling requirement and a conse-quent capacity unloading, compressors K2 and K3 will decrease their capacity until both are be-low the value called parallel capacity. The parallel capacity is automatically calculated by MULTI-SAB. It depends on the size and types of the in-volved compressors and the operating conditions. The parallel capacity is the limit at which K2 is able to take over for certain. If the two compres-sors are of equal size, the parallel capacity will usually be about 55%.

The percentage of PARALLEL CAPACITY can be read in SETUP I MULTISAB I PARALLEL CONTROL.

K3 will now ramp down towards 0% Stop Ramp Down with a speed of approx 12%/min. When K3 is below 5% May stop the STOP DELAY timer will start up. When STOP DELAY expires, K3 will stop Blocked. K2 will, until K3 stops, ensure reg-

ulation all alone Stop Ramp Up, as K1 remains at 100% Runs at max capacity.

Screw compressor K1 Lead compr. and K2 Lag compr. will join each other in parallel operation.

If a cooling requirements still does not exist, K1 and K2 will decrease their capacity until both are below parallel capacity. K2 will ramp down and stop as soon as the STOP DELAY timer expires.

K1 will now ensure regulation all alone Runs by itself.

Operating sequenceThree of the four plant compressors are assumed to be in operation, K1 at 100% Runs at max. ca-pacity, K2 Lead compr. and K3 Lag compr. both in parallel operation at eg 80%.

The cooling requirement is constant.

Due to an alarm caused by high oil filter differen-tial pressure, K2 stops Blocked. This makes K1 Lead compr. and K3 Lag compr. change to par-allel operation, and K3 will increase its capacity to 100%.

When K1 and K3 are above 95% the time delay (START DELAY) will start in UNISAB IIon compressor K4. The timer will count down from its set point to zero, and compressor K4 will start up.

K4 will regulate upwards and the plant will have the following operating mode: K1 at 100 % Runs at max capacity, K3 Lead compr. and K4 Lag compr. both in parallel operation at approx 65% (the parallel operation percentage is lower now than during the output state as K4 is larger than K2).

The alarm on K2 is confirmed (after the oil filter has been replaced), and although K2 enters the READY status Not my turn, it will not start until a requirement exists, as MULTISAB does not stop K4 to make K2 resume its position in the se-quence.

At increasing cooling requirement and conse-quent capacity loading, reciprocating compressor K1 will load stages at the DELAY UP time lag until 100% capacity has been reached.

It is possible to make the loading speed depend on how far the actual suction pressure is above the set point by setting the proportional factor DE-LAY UP above 1 in the picture SETUP I TIMERS I P BAND FACTOR. See section Regulating set-up.

If a cooling requirement still exists, ie the immedi-ate suction pressure is higher that the set point, the timer START DELAY is started on compressor K2. The timer will count down from its set point to zero, and K2 will start. (In case the suction pres-sure reaches the neutral zone before START DE-LAY expires, K2 will not start).

With compressor K2 at 100% and still capacity re-quirement, the timer START DELAY starts on compressor K3. It will count down before K3 starts up.

When K3 is at 100% and a cooling requirement still exists, the timer START DELAY will start on K4. When timer has expired, K4 will start.

Unloading sequenceIn an operating situation where the entire plant runs at 100% and with a decreasing cooling re-quirement, unloading will start on compressor K4 first.

K4 will decrease its capacity by unloading stages with the time delay DELAY DOWN between each change of stage until it reaches minimum capaci-ty, ie 33% (SMC 106S). One stage will now be un-

When time delay STOP DELAY expires on K4, K4 will stop.

K3 will now decrease its capacity to minimum, and after K2 has unloaded one stage, K3 will stop on the timer STOP DELAY.

Reciprocating compressor K2 will now start un-loading stages with time delay DELAY DOWN, until it reaches minimum capacity, ie 25%. One stage will be unloaded on compressor K1, and the timer STOP DELAY will start on K2.

The system will continue its unloading in stages until K1 is stopped.

It is also possible that the plant stabilizes at part load, and if the cooling requirement increases, the situation will be the same as described under Loading sequence.

The above is a general description of the various settings. The final settings will depend completely on the plant in question.

Loading sequence - sequence ACompressor K1 is assumed to be in operation at eg 50 % Runs by itself, K2 Not my turn, K3, K4 and K5 Not my turn have been stopped.

The MULTISAB status, as shown in picture SET-UP I MULTISAB I MULTISAB STATE, is marked with --.

At increasing cooling requirement and conse-quent capacity loading, reciprocating compressor

K1 will load stages at the DELAY UP time lag until 100% capacity has been reached.

It is possible to make the loading speed depend on how far the actual suction pressure is above the set point by setting the proportional factor DE-LAY UP above 1 in the picture SETUP I TIMERS I P BAND FACTOR. See section Regulating set-up.

If a cooling requirement still exists, ie the actual suction pressure is higher than the set point, the timer START DELAY will start on compressor K2. The timer will count down from its set point to ze-ro, and reciprocating compressor K2 will start. (In case the suction pressure reaches the neutral zone before START DELAY expires, K2 will not start).

With compressor K2 at 100% and a persistent ca-pacity requirement, the timer START DELAY will start on K3. The timer will count down before K3 starts up.

When K3 is at 100% and a cooling requirement still exists, the timer START DELAY will start on K4. When the timer has expired, K4 will start.

When the above has taken place, screw compres-sor K3 will go down from 100% while K4 will in-crease its capacity. When they meet, ie when their slide positions are the same, they will continue to regulate in parallel (see Fig. 14.1).

Whether screw compressor K3 decreases its ca-pacity and how fast to meet K4 depends com-pletely on the strength of the "UP" regulating sig-nal.

With screw compressors K3 and K4 at 100% and with a persistent cooling requirement, START DE-LAY will be started on screw compressor K5. After a countdown to zero, K5 will start up. K3 will now be kept at 100% Runs at max capacity, and K4 Lead compr. and K5 Lag compr. will regulate in parallel.

State of transferIn case of a minor cooling requirement, it is as-sumed that the plant stabilizes in the following sit-uation: reciprocating compressors K1 and K2 both at 100% and screw compressor K3 in 40% slide position.

Reciprocating compressor K2 will now pass into the "transfer" state, ie it will start decreasing its ca-pacity to force the screw compressor capacity up-wards.

However, this will only take place if the actual suc-tion pressure is within the 'transfer zone', consist-ing of the neutral zone (zone 1) plus the transfer zone (zone 3), which is default 15% of the regula-tor proportional band, (see Fig. 14.3).

When the reciprocating compressor unloads an-other stage, this will happen with a time delay that (in sec) is the setting of DELAY DOWN multiplied by the 'transfer factor' for DELAY DOWN. This factor, 1-10, has been entered to avoid hunting in the plant as far as possible as the regulating sys-tem must have time to react to the rise in the suc-tion pressure when the reciprocating compressor is unloading.

If the suction pressure rises (zone 2), the recipro-cating compressor will stop the down regulation while the screw compressor regulates upwards to get the suction pressure in place.

Once the plant has balanced, the reciprocating compressor will continue the unloading of stages and the screw compressor will readjust.

Provided that requirements stay the same, this process will continue until the screw compressor is above 85% slide posiiton. Above this fixed limit it is assumed that the screw compressor is run-ning fairly economically. Further reduction of the reciprocating compressor capacity would result in a high risk that the screw compressor is no longer able to take over, causing frequent loading and

unloading of stages or start and stop of the recip-rocating compressor.

The result may be that the reciprocating compre-sor K1 runs at 100%, K2 at 25% and screw com-pressor K3 at 85%.

If the cooling requirement increases, screw com-pressor K3 will be loaded at 100%, whereupon re-ciprocating compressor K2 will be loaded.

Fig. 14.3

State of take-over If the plant stabilizes after a transfer situation with K1 at 100%, K2 stopped, screw compressor K3 at 40% capacity, and K2 able to take over this ca-pacity, K2 will start. However, this will only take place if the actual suction pressure is within the 'take-over zones', consisting of the neutral zone (zone 1) plus the take-over zone (zone 2) which is default 15% of the regulator proportional band, (see Fig. 14.3).

When K2 starts up to take over the screw com-pressor capacity, this will take place with the load-ing time DELAY UP multiplied by the 'take-over' factor for DELAY UP. This factor, 1-10, has been entered to avoid hunting.

When reciprocating compressor K2 is loading stages, the suction pressure will drop, but this is

compensated for by unloading on screw compres-sor K3, until it reaches minimum and stops on STOP DELAY.

Be aware that during reloading periods it may happen that a screw compressor is running at low capacity. Furthermore, reloading will take a cer-tain amount of time, which prevents instability in the plant.

In plants with frequent load changes, it may take longer before the reciprocating compressors take over/transfer capacity.

If the plant is very unstable, the variations may be absorbed exclusively by the screw compressor. Consequently, the screw compressor will in some periods run at low capacity. This can be avoided by removing the starting permission from either

the screw compressor or the reciprocating com-pressor.

Reciprocating compressors will only try to take over/transfer capacity from/to screw compressors that come later in the sequence.

Unloading sequence - sequence AIn an operating situation where the entire plant runs at 100% and with a decreasing cooling re-quirement, unloading will start on the screw com-pressors.

As illustrated in Fig. 14.1, K4 and K5 will reduce their capacity in parallel until both are below the value called the parallel capacity. The parallel ca-pacity is automatically calculated by MULTISAB. It depends on the size and types of the involved compressors and the operating conditions. The parallel capacity is the limit at which it is certain that K4 is able to take over. If the two compressors are of equal size, the parallel capacity will usually be approx 55%.

The percentage of PARALLEL CAPACITY can be read in SETUP I MULTISAB I PARALLEL CONTROL.

K5 will now ramp down towards 0% Stop Ramp Down with a speed of approx 12% /min. When K5 is below 5% May stop, the timer STOP DELAY will start. When STOP DELAY expires, K5 will stop Blocked. K4 will, until K5 stops, ensure reg-ulation all alone Stop Ramp Up as K1, K2 and K3 remain at 100% Runs at max capacity.

Next, the screw compressors K3 Lead compr. and K4 Lag compr. will work together until K4 stops.

K3 will now decrease its capacity to a minimum and stops on its time, STOP DELAY.

When this has happened reciprocating compres-sor K2 will start unloading stages with the time de-

lay DELAY DOWN until it is down to minimum ca-pacity. Next, a stage is unloaded on compressor K1, and the STOP DELAY time will start on K2 (ie during unloading the reciprocating compressors will overlap, (see Fig. 14.2).

The system will continue unloading in stages until K1 stops.

The plant may also stabilize at part load, and in case the cooling requirement is increasing, the sit-uation will be the same as described under Load-ing sequence - sequence A.

Loading sequence - sequence BCompressor K1 is assumed to have stopped May start, K2, K3, K4 and K5 Not my turn are stopped.

The MULTISAB status, as shown in picture SET-UP I MULTISAB I MULTISAB STATE, is marked with --.

In case of a cooling requirement, K1 will start. When it has reached 100% capacity, START DE-LAY will start on screw compressor K2. The timer will count down, and K2 will start up. When this has happened, screw compressor K1 will go down from 100%, while the capacity of K2 will go up. When the compressors meet, ie when their slide positions are the same, they will regulate in paral-lel.

When K1 and K2 are in 100%, the time delay START DELAY will start on screw compressor K3. When the timer has expired, K3 will start up and K1 will be kept at 100%.

When this has happened, screw compressor K2 will go down from 100%, while the capacity of K3 will go up. When the compressors meet, ie when their slide positions are the same, they will regu-late in parallel.

Whether K2 reduces its capacity and at which speed to meet K3 depends completely on the strength of the "UP" regulating signal.

With K2 and K3 at 100% and a persistent cooling requirement, ie the actual suction pressure is higher than the set point, the time delay START DELAY will start on reciprocating compressor K4. The timer will count down to zero and reciprocat-ing compressor K4 will start up. Should the actual suction pressure reach the neutral zone before START DELAY expires, K4 will not start.

K4 will now load and unload stages according to the cooling requirements, while the screw com-pressors K1, K2, K3 are kept at 100% capacity Runs at max capacity.

This will continue until all the compressors are at 100% capacity.

Be aware that with the above sequence screw compressor K1 may start and stabilize at eg 35% capacity corresponding to the actual cooling re-quirement. In this situation a subsequent recipro-cating compressor will not try to take over be-cause it comes later in the sequence.

Unloading sequence - sequence BWith the entire plant running at 100% and a de-creasing cooling requirement, reciprocating com-

pressor K5 Lag compr. will be the first to unload stages with time delay DELAY DOWN until it has reached minimum capacity. Next, one stage is un-loaded on compressor K4, and STOP DELAY will now start on K5 (ie during unloading the recipro-cating compressors will overlap, (see Fig. 14.2)).

When STOP DELAY has expired, compressor K5 will stop, and K4 will now continue the unloading. When K4 has unloaded to minimum capacity, it will start up its STOP DELAY time and when this has expired, K4 will stop.

Screw compressors K2 and K3 are now going to decrease their capacity in parallel operation, until they are below the parallel capacity (usually 55% if they are of equal size). K3 will be run down to minimum capacity and stops on its STOP DELAY time. At the same time K2 will take over.

Screw compressors K1 and K2 will adjust in par-allel to the same slide position and start decreas-ing their capacity in parallel operation until they are below the parallel capacity. K2 will be run down to minimum capacity and stop on its STOP DELAY time. At the same time K1 will take over.

Depending on the capacity requirement, K1 will reduce its capacity and possibly stop completely.

Practical example 1Fig. 14.4

Fig. 14.4 shows that the VMY 347 screw com-pressor has number 1, the two VMY 325 compres-sors have numbers 2 and 3. Further, SMC 12-100 has number 4 and SMC 8-100 number 5. The se-quence starting number is seen after "Start #".

The curve, taken from an existing plant, describes a regulating course over a period of approx 3 hours, divided into intervals from A to K.

In interval "A" compressors 1 and 2 run at part load, until they are both a little below 50% slide position, interval "B". Here, the system decides that K1 can be unloaded and K2 will take over.

K2 will now increase its capacity with a simultane-ous increase in the cooling requirement, which means that K4 will start up and adjust its capacity,

interval "C". In interval "D" the cooling requirement drops, and K2 will unload and stop. The two recip-rocating compressors K4 and K5 will now cover the cooling requirements.

In interval "E" there is a brief increase in the cool-ing requirement. This increase is covered by K2. After some time K2 will stop as the cooling re-quirement has dropped again. However, the plant does not have time to stabilize.

In interval "F" the cooling requirement rises again and K2 will restart and go up to approx 60% slide position. Here, the plant stabilizes at a constant compressor capacity in interval "G".

In the period until interval "H" the reciprocating compressor transfers capacity to the screw com-

pressor as the screw compressor is below 85% slide position. K5 stops completely, and K4 will start transferring capacity. In interval "I" K2 has

risen to 70%. Until interval "K" K4 will unload fur-ther and K2 will now be at 100% capacity.

Practical example 2Fig. 14.5

Fig. 14.5 shows that the VMY 347 screw com-pressor has number 1, the two VMY 325 compres-sors have numbers 2 and 3. Furthermore, SMC 12-100 has number 4 and SMC 8-100 number 5. The sequence starting number is seen after "Start #".

The curve, taken from an existing plant, describes a regulating course over a period of approx. 3 hours, divided into intervals from A to K.

In interval "A" compressors K2 and K4 are running at 100% until interval "B". Here, there is a rise in the cooling requirement, and K5 will start loading.

Until interval "C" these three compressors are run-ning at 100%. A rise in the cooling requirement will make K1 start up. At this point K1 and K2 will start dividing the capacity. This can be seen in interval "D", where K2 has decreased a little, while K1 is on its way up.

In interval "E" K1 and K2 have the same slide po-sition (approx 70%) and they regulate in parallel. In interval "F" K5 may transfer capacity and this may continue with K4 transferring until interval "G", where the screw compressors have reached approx 80%.

UNISAB II 2.03

In interval "H" K1 and K2 are above 85% and K4 will stay passive until interval "I", where K1 and K2 have regulated down due to decreasing cooling requirement. Once they are below 85%, K4 will transfer its remaining capacity. The screw com-pressors have now taken over the entire load.

Please note that in case the sequence is changed during operation, do not expect any immediate re-action. If the plant is balanced at this particular time, it will continue to operate with the "old" se-quence, until a movement has taken place in the regulation and it has adapted to the new se-quence. The chosen compressor sequence will depend on the operating mode of the plant as well as the size of the compressors compared to each other.

Thus, it can be difficult to achieve an optimum compressor operation in every situation. Howev-er, it is possible to select compressors by using the signal input external start - normal stop as a supplement to the MULTISAB system facilities as described above. By removing the external start - normal start signal the compressors can be re-moved from the sequence. MULTISAB will now load compressors with rising sequence numbers - despite the "holes" in the starting sequence.

Trouble shootingThe plant cannot start1) Are all UNISAB II units set on REMOTE?

2) Have the signals external start - normal stop and external start - immediate stop been ac-tivated? See UNISAB II drawings Digital in-puts.

3) Do the units communicate? - check this by means of the picture SETUP I MULTISAB I ALL COMPRESSORS. Check communi-cation cable.

4) Is the actual suction pressure higher than the set point +1/2 neutral zone?

5) Are any of the limiting functions active?

6) Have AUTO START and AUTO STOP been configured?

7) Has the COLD STORE FUNC. been config-ured?

The plant does not run in sequence1) Do the units communicate? In case of no

communication, each UNISAB II will run with its own regulator. It may be useful to en-ter the picture SETUP I MULTISAB I ALL COMPRESSORS and go through the com-pressor numbers (use J and K ). There will be a question mark (?) in the lower left cor-ner of the display if there is no communica-tion to the UNISAB II with the selected number.

– Check communication cable and connection.

– Do two or more UNISAB II units have the same compressor number (COMPR. NO)? Check the numbers in picture SETUP I CONFIG I COMMUNICA-TIONS. They must all be unique.

2) Do all units that are supposed to run in se-quence have identical SYSTEM NO, which they must. Check the picture SETUP I MULTISAB I MULTISAB STATE.

3) Check whether all units in the same system agree upon the same SYS.REGULATOR, see picture SETUP I MULTISAB I MUL-TISAB STATE. If this is not the case, do all units agree on how to decide the mas-ter/system regulator? See the PREF.MAS-TER field in SETUP I CONFIG.

4) If PREF. MASTER = START#, has the same START NO been entered in two or more units? See picture SETUP I MULTI-SAB I MULTISAB STATE. They must all be unique!

5) Is START NO = 0 in one or more UNISAB II units? MULTISAB requires that all START NO are higher than 0 and that not two are identical. Note that though it is not possible to select 0 as START NO., the START NO. may still become 0 for several reasons.

15. List of VersionsThis instruction manual applies to the UNISAB II version stated on page 1.

As an exception, the manual can be used for an earlier version of the UNISAB II program. In such cases it is necessary to consult the list of versions below to identify the points where the manual cannot be relied upon.

Version no Description

1.01 On the HPO compressor an incorrect scaling of the discharge pressure has been cor-rected. 15 languages have been entered.

1.02 No changes in the user's operation.

1.03 The timers Start Delay and Stop Delay will be working, also when capacity is regulated on the external 4-20 mA analog signal.

The digital output AUX = "ready" is only active when the compressor is able to start, ie the digital input "external start permission - normal stop" must also be active.

1.04 The hour counter counts in single hours and no longer in intervals of 10 hours.

An error in press./temp. conversion for R23 refrigerant at approx -70°C has been cor-rected.

An error in the MULTISAB system resulting in blocking of plants with three or more re-ciprocating compressors in sequence has been corrected. (The compressor starting as no 1 remained at 100% capacity at load reduction, preventing no. 2 from unloading the last stage).

1.05 This version does not exist.

1.06 Refrigerant R508 has changed its name to R410A.A new refrigerant, R407C, has been entered.

Two new screw compressor types have been introduced: SAB 128H Mk3 and SAB 163H Mk3.

Automatic zero position (capacity slide) setting has been introduced for SAB 202 with automatic Vi slide as well as manual zero position setting for other screw compressor types.

1.07 Automatic zero position setting has been introduced for SAB 202 with manual Vi slide.

The regulating speed (max speed) has been increased. The regulation is now faster (longer pulses - particularly at low oil pressure levels) than in previous versions.

TSMC/TCMO compressors had no setpoint 2 (SP2) for discharge pipe temperature for regulating the "intermediate press. injection". This has now been introduced.

1.08 General remarks:

During a sequence running with two or more screw compressors, it could happen that all compressors stayed at low capacity without regulating upwards although a capacity requirement existed. This error has been corrected in MULTISAB.

If the suction pressure ramp limiting function prevents the compressor from increasing its capacity to more than 5%, the timer "delay before stop" will not be activated as was the case previously. The compressor will remain in operation.

The configuration point "COMMON CONDENSER" has been extended to include "common evaporator" and is now called "COMMON EVAP/COND N/N".

UNISAB II 2.03

Screw compressors:

For screw compressors two warnings have been introduced: "LIMITING SUCTION PRESSURE"and "LIMITING DISCHARGE PRESSURE". These will occur whenever the UNISAB II is in position "READY" but unable to start because the suction or dis-charge pressure is within the neutral zone of the limiter in question.

For VMY compressors, the solenoid valve for "capacity down" opens whenever the compressor is prelubricated.

A limiting function has been introduced for "high suction pressure limitation". The com-pressor capacity is limited, during operation, to an adjustable max. value when the suc-tion pressure is above the high warning limit for the suction pressure.

Reciprocating compressors:

A function controlling the by-pass valve ("cap.stage 1") has now been entered for the TCMO 28 compressor.

The timers "DELAY UP" and "DELAY DOWN" that operate in connection with the load-ing and unloading of capacity stages are now active both during capacity regulation with external "4-20 mA input" signals or if capacity regulation takes place via data com-munication.

1.09 General remarks:

In the TIMERS menu picture the TIMER SETUP picture has been displaced so that the picture obtains a position on the part of the timer menu that is immediately visible when you select the menu.

In the CALIB/AUX.OUTPUTpicture the AUX output can now be activated by: RUN-NING and READY-EXT.

At auto alarm reset, e.g. at a low suction pressure, the alarm relay will also be auto reset.

1.09 (cont.) Special warnings: Limiter suction pressure, Limiter discharge pressure, Limiter brine and Limiter hot water can now be read via the Danbuss communication.

Motor currents SP1 and SP2 can now be changed right up to 2500 Amp.

Due to an error in the A/D converter software, we have received reports of a false alarm for "Low brine temp" at "Power up" in some plants. This has now been corrected.

Via the communication it is now possible to read whether UII is in REMOTE/capacity regulating mode. To be read as "Cap.mode".

An HP compressor started up by means of the "HP at two-stages" function + the "Ext. start normal stop" signal, is now not going to stop on the "Stop delay" timer anymore, even though capacity is below 5%.

Screw compressors:

A Multisab error has been rectified which could occur as follows: At suction pressure limitation, both compressors regulated down to 0% and the Lead compressor stopped. Before the Lag compressor stopped, however, the capacity re-quirements change. The Lag compressor then continued to run at 0% without regulat-ing upwards, although capacity was needed. This situation coul be altered by changing the Lead compressor from Remote to Manual after which the regulation worked cor-rectly when switching back again to Remote.

The position regulator parameters (SP, NZ and PB) are now accessible in a new pa-rameter picture for MOTOR/CAPACITY. It is also possible to change NZ and PB via the communication.Further, the neutral zone (+/-1%) at capacity regulation has been removed.

A false alarmfor "capacity error" that might occur (in some special cases), often at 100% capacity and with regulation in the neutral zone, has now been removed.

If a VMY compressor happened to fall out at "Capacity error" during operation, while the slide was above 5%, the slide was not run down when the alarm was confirmed, because the oil pump did not start. This has now been corrected.

The VMY compressor would stop the slide run down (the oil pump was stopped) when-ever the capacity was below 5%. An extended hysterisis has now been introduced so that the oil pump does not stop until 10 sec. have passed and capacity is below 4.5%.

1.09 (cont.) Reciprocating compressors:

The MULTISAB transfer- and take-over mode for linking of reciprocating and screw compressors has now been implemented with the same functionality as that of Unis-ab-RT.

The texts in the TIMERS, TRANSFER and TAKE-OVER pictures have been changed.

The new E-type for SMC/TSMC compressors has been introduced in CONFIG.

HPO/HPC. The setpoint for the suction pressure regulator can now be set to 25 Bar - the discharge pressure regulator right up to 40 Bar. The warning limit for High Differ-ential Pressure is 25 Bar.

1.10 Please note that this program version no. 1.10 is tied up with instruction manual version 1.10A.

General remarks:

All SMC and TSMC compressors are going to be configured as either type S/L or E.

An HP compressor started with the "HP at two-stage" function + "Ext. start normal" sig-nal, is not going to stop on the "Stop delay" timer if the comperessor has been selected for REMOTE/Multisab and no other compressors are operating in this system. Can only be stopped by opening the input:"Ext. start normal".

The AUX output READY-EXT is now also applicable in AUTO

It is now possible to use a user-configurable refrigerantR000.

It is now possible to use a user-defined password.

UNISAB II can now be reconfigurered to UNISAB / Evolution.

Screw compressors:

The secondary oil pump on VMY compressors was able to make a brief start on "power up". This has been corrected.

Prosab II and UNISAB II did not regulate correctly in LEAD-LAG.This has been corrected.

The minimum limits for low oil pressure has been raised for Mk3 compressors.

The heating rod was not connected at compressor stop if the compressor:1) stopped on alarm within 60 sec after start or2) the alarm "capacity error" appeared at a stop.

This has now been rectified.

The position transmitter signal for the capacity slide can be calibrated at 0 % and 100 %.

A test version containing the SAB 330 screw compressor is installed. The programme can only be used for internal YORK test.

It is now possible to select the unit kPa in the UNISAB II.

A larger EEPROM type with a capacity of 4 kByte has been introduced. Up to now the capacity has only been 2 kByte.

Screw compressors:

Screw compressor type SV 80 is now supported.

The UNISAB Evolution II data are now automatically updated in the Evolution menu structure.

An error whereby the heating element was not activated after switching the power on/off has been rectified.

Aconversion error in the display of oil filter difference pressure has now been rectified. The error only occured during PSI conversion.

Reciprocating compressors:

It is now possible to disconnect the MULTISAB "transfer/take-over" function.

A MULTISAB error which occurred in a certain combination of plants with both screw compressors and reciprocating compressors has now been rectified.

1.13 General remarks:

EEPROM, calibration settings and hour counter are saved.

Screw compressors

In version 1.12 the VMY compressors started the prelubrication pumps shortly after power up. This has now been rectified.

Reciprocating compressors:

When the UNISAB II has been configured so that it is regulated using the brine tem-perature, and this is in the lower P-Band, and a limiting function at the same time is active, the UNISAB II will - when the lowest step has been reached - count down in "delay down" instead of "stop timer". This has now been rectified.

2.00

Version 1.13 - which is marked with the date 990831 - differs from the original 1.13 mainly on the following points:

It is found in three varieties: 1.13-A, 1.13-B and 1.13-C. The three varieties contain the same program but in three different sets of languages:-1.13-A: English, Danish, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian and Swedish.

-1.13-B: English, German, French, Hungarian, Dutch and Russian.-1.13-C: English, Czech, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese and Polish.When UNISAB II is switched on for the first time or when a program RESET is performed, the set language is English.

Low oil pressure alarm is delayed extra 10 seconds at compressor start to avoid unin-tended alarm.

A number of alarms and warnings has been added.

The alarm #83 "Vi position" appears if the shown capacity is 100% while the measured capacity position is < 20%.

A number of errors have been corrected compared to earlier versions. Additionally,

it is now possible in the MULTISAB→ PARALLEL CONTR picture to type in an OFF-SET to the parallel capacity;

changes regarding "Evolution" have been carried out.

General remarks:

The following compressor types have been added:

-SAB 128 HR

-SAB 163 HR

-SAB 250 S/L/E

-SAB 330 S/L/E

The following refrigerant type has been added: R744 (CO2).

Communication with Quantum compressor controller now possible.

The AUX OUTPUT can now additionally be configured to "READY AND ME ONLY" which can be used to ensure water circulation at the PT100 sensor even if no com-pressor is running.

The manual has been thoroughly updated.

Screw compressors:

The capacity control is now being carried out by standard PID controllers.

Minimum capacity increase/decreace pulse 0.3 sec.

At compressor stop, capacity down signal until capacity < 5%.

Reciprocating compressors:

A low pass filter has been attached to the suction superheat to avoid low superheat alarm when unloading stages. The timer "Low superheat" is now adjustable 15 - 600 sec.

Further remarks:

Compressor types SAB 283 L/E, SAB 355 L as well as the GSV/RWF series (see con-figuration).

Two new refrigerants: R1270 (Propylene), R 290 (Propane).

One new timer has been introduced for screw compressors:Timer 33 Lubricating pressure.

One new timer for reciprocating and screw compressors have been introduced:Timer 32 Low suction pressure.

Turkish has been added.

Timer for oil filter differential pressure has been raised to 300 seconds.

Screw compressor, type SAB 80. Max values for oil filter differential pressure have been changed to: Alarm = 2.5 bar and warning = 2.2 bar.

Contrast can now be adjusted from any menu picture by means of the RESET button and the arrow up/down keys.

Low alarm and low warning for brine temperature have been changed from -60°C to 100°C.

Screw compressor: Start delay and stop delay factors affecting the countdown of the timer have been changed to start and stop delay “zones” in [%] of the P-band. When regulated value is outside a “zone”, the timer will start. Set value 0-100 [%]. Setting of 0 [%] results in the “zone” passing over to the other side of Nz, ie. a stop delay zone = 0 % means that the stop delay timer will start when regulated value is inside or below Nz.

EEPROM. When switching to the use of two EPROMS at the same time (from version 2.0x) a timing problem occurred which had the effect that writing to and reading from the EEPROM was not always carried out correctly. This has now been rectified.

2.01 ROTA This version has never been officially released but has primarily been used for rotatune units and as spare part for correction of errors.

General remarks

If the compressor capacity was controlled by a 4-20 mA signal, the compressor would not start even though the signal exceeded 4.8 mA (5% capacity). This has now been rectified.

At the initial start-up of UNISAB II, the start number and system number were set at a fixed value of “0”. This had the effect that the compressor could not start and operate in auto and remote control. This has now been rectified.

Multisab sequence was not optimized to support correct operation between frequency controlled and conventional compressors. This has now been rectified.

The menu lines CAPACITY and VOLUME have been moved from the MOTOR picture in the main menu to a new picture called CAPACITY. This picture is found below the SET UP menu. See menu tree in the beginning of your manual.

There is a new menu line below the MOTOR picture which is called MOTOR FRE-QUENCY. It indicates motor revolutions per minute when the compressor capacity is regulated by a frequency converter.

The COP picture has been moved from the CALIBRATION menu to the CONFIGURA-TION menu.

Configuration. In the measuring unit picture, there is a new menu line, MOTOR INPUT. See the configuration section in your manual for installation.

Screw compressors

When operating in 100% capacity for a longer period of time, sometimes the compres-sor would simply stop for no reason with the alarm for capacity error on. This has now been rectified.

The following compressor type has been added: Gram GST screw compressor with stepless capacity slide control and control of the volume slide in three steps by means of two solenoid valves. Volume ratios: 2.2-3.5-5.

The volume transmitter can now be calibrated by means of software calibration. See the calibration section in your manual.

The “feedback” signal from a frequency converter can now be calibrated by means of software calibration. See the calibration section in your manual.

Configuration. In the measuring unit picture, there is a new menu line, CAP/FREQ. See the configuration section in your manual for installation.

A new timer has been introduced in connection with GST compressors: Timer 34 Vi-pause.

Reciprocating compressors

HPO/HPC. High warning is increased from 25.0 bar to 25.2 bar. Thus, the limiter zone is now 25.0-25.2 bar.

UNISAB II 2.03

2.02.1 This version replaces all prior versions.

General remarks

4-20 mA initialization error during UNISAB II restart. The display was flashing during reconnection of power supply to UNISAB II. The error first occurred in version 2.01. It has now been rectified.

The ROTA concept has now been extended to include reciprocating compressors with frequency converters and screw compressors controlled by a combination of frequen-cy, capacity slide and volume slide.

The multisab system now handles both frequency controlled screw and reciprocating compressors which operate in sequence with either reciprocating and/or screw com-pressors.

The “copy EEPROM” function, when changing parts in UNISAB II or at low battery volt-age and a simultaneous reconnection of power supply, has now been changed. Thus it is no longer necessary to enter password to reply YES, simply press “arrow left” to restart. See service section in the manual for further details.

UNISAB evolution plant. When simultaneously using the function EVOLUTION and CHILLER = YES in the configuration, the following error might occur: During operation, the green diode on the front cover would start to flash for about one minute and then, for no apparent reason, the compressor would stop. This has now been rectified.

UNISAB evolution plant. When simoltaneously using the function EVOLUTION and CHILLER = YES in the configuration, the following error might occur: In case of a pause before compressor start-up, the compressor would not start. The start delay tim-er kept counting in negative seconds instead of stopping at 0 and starting the compres-sor. This has now been rectified.

Configuration. There are two new menu lines in the picture MOTOR below the CON-FIG menu, namely, MINIMUM frequency and MAXIMUM frequency. See the configu-ration section.

Multisab error in connection with direct capacity control: When disrupting the 4-20 mA remote control signal for several UNISAB II compressors at the same time, not all of the compressors will start when the signal returns. This has now been rectified. The error might also occur in EPROM version 1.13 and earlier.

In the Instruction Manual of version 2.02 and in later manuals, there are charts of “UN-ISAB II Settings” and “UNISAB II diagnosis” in the back of this book. These used to be in the Starting-up Manual.

All new menus and parameters of this version are primarily shown in English only, even if a language other than English has been chosen. However, the following five languages are fully translated: Danish, Swedish, Dutch, French and Italian. The re-maining languages will be updated in later versions as they are being translated.

Screw compressors

When regulating the discharge pressure, the regulator would be out of order and thus capacity could either be 0% or 100% but could not settle at medium capacity. This has now been rectified.

Timer values concerning the prelubrication function for screw compressors was not in-itialized correctly after factory reset - only if followed by a power reset. This has now been rectified.

Version Description

There was an error in the regulator, which would only occur when a limiter was in passive mode and when, at the same time, more capacity was required. This error caused the ca-pacity to decrease very slowly as long as the limiter was in passive mode. This has now been rectified.

The following compressor type has been added: SAB110SR/LR.

The PID-regulator function has been thoroughly explained in this version of the manual and it contains practical examples of general usage of this function.

Known errors of this version:

General remarks

Multisab. Sequential control of several rotatune compressors in the same system as con-ventional compressors (rotatune master/slave operation) has not yet been implemented. It is expected to be implemented in version 2.02.2.

The following concerns compressors which control frequency on the frequency converter by means of a 4-20 mA output signal from the UNISAB II and only in MANUAL OPERA-TION MODE: In MANUAL MODE, the compressor capacity will be regulated back to the capacity it had before the limiter went into active MODE, as soon as the limiter is no longer in function. Therefore, if capacity is manually regulated up to e.g. 80% and the limiter is activated and forces capacity down to e.g. 30%, capacity will then automatically be regulated back to 80% as soon as the limiter is no longer in function. This regulation takes place without activating the capacity keys.

UNISAB II Evolution: When changing baudrate for port 1 (when using Evolution PLC), a factory reset must be carried out or UNISAB II must be turned off and on. If this is not car-ried out, the new communication speed will not be initialized and communication to the PLC cannot be effected.

Screw compressors

SAB110SR/LR. During operation for a long period of time in remote or auto control, it might be quite some time before capacity is decreased even though the regulator requires less capacity.

Reciprocating compressors

Motor frequency control in connection with two-stage reciprocating compressors has not yet been fully implemented.

Version Description

2.02.2 General remarks

Multisab sequence with several rotatune compressors running in the same system is now implemented but has not yet been tested. It is expected to be released in the next version.

UNISAB II evolution; when changing communication speed on port 1 for use with Evolution PLC, the new speed is now initialised automatically.

Superuser password has been changed.

Textual errors have been corrected in the Swedish instruction manual.

When installing eprom version 2.02.2 instead of an earlier version and at the same time maintaining battery voltage on UNISAB II, the contrast now initialises at a value between 20 and 80 when pressing the “R” key. Afterwards, the contrast can be adjusted by simulta-neously activating the “Reset” key and the “arrow up” or “arrow down” key.

Screw compressors

Screw compressor SAB110SR/LR. When operating at 100% capacity for a long period of time in either remote or auto control, the length of period until capacity was reduced was disproportionately long even though the regulator had required less capacity. This has now been rectified.

Due to an error in the outer PID-regulator, a screw compressor about to stop would keep running at minimum capacity because the “delay before stop” timer was reset and started recounting before the compressor stopped. The problem only appeared when e.g. the suc-tion pressure value passed the limit between NZ and the lower P-band. This problem ap-plies to all regulating modes. Furthermore, the compressor would run up capacity a little every time this limit was passed. This has now been rectified.

Known errors

When using the “copy eeprom” function, all timer values are reset at default values.

Version Description

2.03.1 General remarks

Mode of operation has been changed for timer no. 32 "Low suction pressure". Now the alarm for low suction pressure can be suppressed for up to 60 seconds during both start-up and operation.

Rotatune multisab function; the taking over function has been corrected. Now a master compressor includes subsequent stopped rotatune compressors (slaves) in the taking over calculation when attempting to take over a subsequent screw compressor. Earlier, it only included its own 60% free capacity in the taking over calculation. See Rota appendix.

A false warning for low suction pressure when the compressor is in stopped control mode has been corrected. Before, the warning disappeared when control mode was changed from stopped but it generated false warnings which communicated with the UNISAB net-work either via the Sabcom II driver or the Comsab II module. The warning typically ap-peared when the suction pressure lay between the low alarm default value and the low warning default value.

Rotatune multisab. An error regarding several systems in the same network has been cor-rected. When a rotatune compressor was operating with several systems in the network (e.g. low and high pressure systems) the multisab system would fail. A slave which was starting up would immediately stop after only a few seconds.

Rotatune multisab. When a master compressor was stopped due to an alarm, the slave did not automatically adopt the role of master regulator. This has now been rectified.

Screw compressors

Timer no. 7 "Prelubrication" has been changed for screw compressors of the SABxxxHR type. Prelubrication has been changed from a default value of 10 seconds to 0 seconds. The compressor will still be prelubricated but the compressor motor must start up immedi-ately when the signal of the oil flow switch is present.

An error has been corrected in rotatune multisab between two rota screw compressors. When two rotatune compressors were running in parallel, the master ran with a fixed ca-pacity of e.g. 60% and the slave hunted up and down with a variation of 5-10% around the the master’s 60%=50-70% when it should be running with the same capacity as the master. To compensate for this, the default values for the internal regulator on the UNISAB II on the slave compressor must be changed. P-band should be changed from 200 to 400%, T.int. from 30 to 90 seconds and minimum pulse should be changed to 0.3 seconds.

Reciprocating compressors

Reciprocating compressor Mk4. A new timer no. 11 is introduced, "Filter diff. High". On Mk4 reciprocating compressors, the oil filter differential pressure is monitored by an electrical switch. Digital input 9 is usually open. If the differential pressure exceeds the set value, the switch gives an input signal. If this signal is active for more than 300 seconds, the warning "high oil differential pressure" is given. There is no operating limiting function in this warn-ing. See wiring diagrams for installation of this switch.

The auxiliary output function has been corrected. When using the auxiliary output function for maximum and minimum capacity respectively, this did not function correctly for rotatune machines in earlier eprom versions.

Rotatune reciprocating compressors. An error has been corrected in the outer regulator. The neutral zone value was doubled so that it applied both above and below the set point. Now, the neutral zone is divided in equal parts above and below the set point. See also the section about regulation in this manual.

Known errors

When using the 4-20 mA analog output function from UNISAB II to a frequency converter to control the speed of the compressor motor the following problem is found:When running in auto or remote control mode, it is still possible to change the speed of the compressor motor with the operating keys capacity up or capacity down. This should only be possible in manual control mode.
