GENERAL WARNING

2.1 Please read before using this manual

  • This manual is part of the product and should be kept near the instrument for easy and quick reference.
  • The instrument shall not be used for purposes different from those described hereunder. It cannot be used as a safety device.
  • Check the application limits before proceeding.
  • Dixell Srl reserves the right to change the composition of its products, even without notice, ensuring the same and unchanged functionality.

2.2 Safety Precautions

  • Check the supply voltage is correct before connecting the instrument.
  • Do not expose to water or moisture: use the controller only within the operating limits avoiding sudden temperature changes with high atmospheric humidity to prevent formation of condensation
  • Warning: disconnect all electrical connections before any kind of maintenance.
  • The instrument must not be opened.
  • In case of failure or faulty operation send the instrument back to the distributor or to “Dixell S.r.l.” (See address) with a detailed description of the fault.
  • Consider the maximum current which can be applied to each relay (see Technical Data).
  • Ensure that the wires for probes, loads and the power supply are separated and far enough from each other, without crossing or intertwining.
  • Fit the probe where it is not accessible by the end user.
  • In case of applications in industrial environments, the use of mains filters (our mod. FT1) in parallel with inductive loads could be useful.

General description

The XC450CX is designed to manage both compressors and fans in a condensing system such as a pack. The compressors can be scroll or Stream, simple or multistage.
It’s possible to manage up to 2 suction circuits with a common condenser.
Control is by means of a neutral zone and is based on the pressure or temperature sensed in the LP suction (compressors) and HP (condenser) circuits. A special algorithm balances the run hours of the compressors to distribute the work load uniformly.
The controllers can convert both LP and HP pressures and displays them as temperatures.
The front panel offers complete information on the system’s status by displaying the suction and condenser pressure (temperatures), the status of the loads, possible alarms or maintenance conditions.
Each load has its own alarm input that is able to stop it when activated. To guarantee the total system’s safety, there are also two inputs for low and high pressure switches: when these are activated, the system is stopped.
By means of the HOT KEY the controller can be easy programmed at power on.
The controller can be connected to the X-WEB, controlling and monitoring system, thanks to the RS485 serial output, using the standard ModBus RTU protocol.

5.5 SAFETY AND CONFIGURABLE DIGITAL INPUTS – FREE VOLTAGE
5.5.1 Loads safety inputs
Controller has 6 configurable digital inputs, free voltage.
Each digital input can be set by the related parameter iF01,.. iF07.
The first 5 digital inputs are factory pre-set to operate as safety input for loads.
Each input must collect the status of the safety devices related to the compressor such as thermistors, pressure switches etc.
When this input is activated the correspondence load is switched off and not considered for the regulation.
The correspondence between loads (compressors or fans) and safety inputs is the following

LOAD TERMINALS INPUT TERMINALS SETTING
Load 1 17-18 Di1 14-Aug iF01 = oA1
Load 2 19-20 Di2 14-Sep iF02 = oA2
Load 3 21-22 Di3 14-Oct iF03 = oA3
Load 4 23-24 Di4 14-Nov iF04 = oA4
Load 5 26-27 Di5 14-Dec iF05 = oA5

5.6 Analog output connection
The controller supply up to 2 analog outputs, terminals, kind of output and functionality are shown in the following table

| Terminals| Related parameter
---|---|---
Analog output 1| 14[-] — 15[+].| AOC: Kind of signal (4-20mA/0-10V) AOF: function
Analog output 2| 14[-] — 16[+].| 2AOC: Kind of signal (4-20mA/0-10V) 2A0F: function

5.7 How to connect monitoring system – RS485 Serial line
The XC450CX can be connected to a monitoring system thanks to the serial output.
To convert the TTL to RS485 signal, the XJ485CX has to be used.
The XJ485CX is a TTL/RS485 external converter. Insert it into the TTL receptacle to convert the TTL output into a RS485 (+) and (-) signal for the monitoring system MODBUS_RTU compatible. (XWEB).
The Adr parameter is the number to identify each electronic board. Address duplication is not permitted, in this case the communication with monitoring system is not guaranteed (the Adr is also the ModBUS address).

Mounting & installation

The instruments are suitable only for internal use. Instruments shall be mounted on panel, in a 29×71 mm hole, and fixed using the special brackets supplied.
The ambient operating temperature range is between -10÷60°C.
Avoid locations subject to heavy vibration, corrosive gases or excessive dirt. The same applies to the probes. Ensure ventilation around the instrument.

First installation

At first installation, it’s necessary the following:

  1. Select the kind of gas.
  2. Set the range of the pressure probes.

In the following paragraph a short cut for the above operations.
Chapters 11 Parameters programming and 17 will show in detail these operations.

7.1 How to set the kind of gas
The kind of gas is set by the parameter FtyP.
The controller has memorized the relation between temperature and pressure for some gases.

The pre-set gas is: r448. (FtyP=r448)
If another gas is used, act as in the following:

  1. Enter the Programming mode by pressing the Set and DOWN key for 3s.
  2.  Select the “Pr2” parameter. Then enter the password 3 2 1 0.
  3. Select the FtyP, kind of gas, parameter.
  4. Press the “SET” key: the value of the parameter will start blinking.
  5. Use “UP” or “DOWN” to change the gas among the following:
  6. r22= r22; r32 = r32; r134=r134, r290 = r290; r404=R404A; 407A = r407A; 407C= r407C; 407F= r407F; 410= r410; r448 = r448A; r449 = r449A, r450 = r450A; r452 = r452A; 507=R507; r513=R513; 14EE= r1234ze; CO2= CO2; 515b () = r515b; 454A  ()= R454A; 454b ()= R454B; 454C ()= R454B; 455A ()= R455A; 14YF ()= R1234ze (*) Present only in 3.5h or following release
  7. Press “SET” to store the new value and move to the following parameter.
    To exit: Press SET + UP or wait 30s without pressing a key.

NOTE: the set value is stored even when the procedure is exited by waiting the time-out to expire.

7.2 How to set the range of the pressure probes
If an instrument with the following part number is used: XC450CX – xxxxF, it is pre-set to work with pressure probe with the following range:
Suction Probe : -0.5 ÷11.0 bar (relative pressure);
Discharge Probe : 0÷30.0 bar (relative pressure)
If the probes you’re using have a different range act as in the following:
To set the pressure range of the Probe 1 (suction probe) use the parameter:
PA04: Adjustment of read out corresponding to 4mA (0.5V)
PA20: Adjustment of read out corresponding to 20mA (4.5V)
To set the pressure range of the Probe 2 (Condenser probe) use the parameter:
FA04: Adjustment of read out corresponding to 4mA (0.5V)
FA20: Adjustment of read out corresponding to 20mA (4.5V)
Practically these parameters have to be set with the start and end scale of the probe range.

How to do:

  1. Enter the Programming mode by pressing the Set and DOWN key for 3s.
  2. Select the “Pr2” parameter. Then enter the password 3 2 1 0.
  3. Select the PA04, adjustment of read out corresponding to 4mA (0.5V), parameter.
  4. Press the “SET” key: the value of the parameter will start blinking.
  5. Set the lower value of the probe range.
  6. Push the SET key to confirm the value. The PA20: adjustment of read out corresponding to 20mA (4.5V) parameter will be displayed.
  7. Set the higher value of the range.
  8. Push the SET key to confirm the value. Next parameter will be displayed.

Do the same things for the Probe 2, FA04, FA20 parameters.

17.1 Plant dimensioning and type of regulation.
The XC450CX is pre-set to drive a rack with 3 compressors and 3 fans.
A1 (term. 17-18), oA2 (term. 19-20), oA3 (term. 21-22), oA4 (term. 23-24), oA5 (term. 25-26), relay 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, configuration: by means of these parameters the plant can be dimensioned according to the number and type of compressors and/or fans and the  number of steps for each one.
Each relay according to the configuration of the oA(i), where (i) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, parameter can work as:

  • Not used: oA(i) = nu
  • Compressor circuit1: oA(i) = cPr1,
  • Compressor circuit2: oA(i) = cPr2,
  • Step: oA(i) i = StP
  • Inverter compressor for circuit 1: oA(i) = inC1
  • Inverter compressor for circuit 2: oA(i) = inC2
  • Fan: oA(i) = FAn
  • Fan with inverter/ECI fan: oA(i) = InF
  • Injection of cooling liquid: oA(i) = Lin
  • Alarm: oA(i) = ALr
  • Flood protection function: oA(i) = Liq
  • Valve for hot gas injection in case of low superheat: oA(i) = HGi

NOTE: also the “dGS”, “6dG”, “dGst” values are present. These values must not be used.
COMPRESSORS CONFIGURATION
According to the oA1, oA2, oA3, oA4, oA5, oA6 configuration, 2 kinds of plant can be defined:
Rack with compressors only: all the oAi different from FAn
Rack with compressors and fans: both FAn and CPr are used for oAi.
NOTE: CONFIGURATION OF COMPRESSOR WITH UNLOADERS (STEPS): the output of compressor has to be set before the output for unloaders (steps).
ES. Compressor with 1 unloader: oA1 = cPr, oA2= StP.
If compressor with different capacities are used (CtyP=dPo), all the oAi must to be configured as cPr (compressor) otherwise the configuration alarm “CStP” will be activated.
If compressors with different capacities are used (CtyP=dPo), all the oAi must to be configured as cPr (compressor) otherwise the configuration alarm “CStP” will be activated.
If an oAi set as step without any previous oAi set as cPr the configuration alarm “CStP” will be activated.

Even Capacity Compressors (CtyP = Spo)

18.1 Compressors With Same Capacity – Dead band control
This regulation is applied both to the circuit 1 and the circuit 2.
The neutral zone (Pbd) is symmetrical compared to the target set point, with extremes: set+Pbd/2 … set-Pbd/2. If the pressure (temperature) is inside this zone the controller maintains the same number of loads switched on and off, without changing anything.
When the pressure (temperature) go out from the zone, regulation starts. If the pressure is greater than SET+Pbd/2, the loads are switching on with timing given by parameters: don and doF.
A load is turned on only if his safety times onon, oFon, donF are over.
Regulation stops when the pressure (temperature) comes back into the neutral zone.
In the following a simplify example that explains the regulation in neutral zone for compressor homogeneous with 1 step for each compressors. The safety times onon, oFon and donF are not considered. In the real regulation any load is entered or turned off only if these times are over.
Ex. Dead band control, compressors with same capacities, 1 step for each compressor.
In this example:
oA1 = cPr1; oA2 = cPr1; oA3 = cPr1; oA4 =nu; oA5 = nu number of compressors
CtyP = SPo homogeneous compressors;
Sty = yES rotation
FdLy = no “don” delay not enabled at first calling after an equilibrium condition.
dLF = no “doF” delay not enabled at first calling after an equilibrium condition.

In this case the capacity supplied by the system is a combination of the capacity of different compressors.
The capacity of each compressor ha sto be set in the parameters PC1…PC5.
The regulation algorithm supply a combination of the available capacities, starting from the lower ones and increasing step by step according to the requests coming from the system.
With uneven capacity compressors, the algorithm doesn’t distribute the working time between the various compressors to ensure even run times.

19.1.1 Regulation example
oA1 = CPr1, oA2 = CPr1, oA3 = CPr1, OA4 = CPr1, oA5 = nu,
CtyP = dPo
Pc1 = 10; Pc2 = 15 Pc3 = 30; Pc4 = 40

STEP| Pct = 10;| Pc2 = 15| Pc3 = 30;| Pc4 = 40| SYSTEM CAPACITY

The transition between the various steps can be carried out only if the safety timers (onon, oFon, donF) have been expired, otherwise the first available step is used.

SCREW COMPRESSORS (CtyP = Scr)

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
The controller doesn’t manage any time limitation on the activation of the 25% capacity valve.
If the compressor is not design for a long activation of the 25% capacity valve, an external device able to exclude this situation MUST be used. !!!!!
Dixell can’t be considered responsible for possible damages caused from this situation
The controller is able to manage only 1 screw compressor, operating on circuit

  1. Loads activation is managed by the neutral zone.
    To set it:
    CtyP = Scr: in this way the compressor is managed as screw compressor, and the relays set as steps, will follow special activation rules, as explained in the following chapters.
    The activation of the valve is designed according to the Bitzer, Hanbell compressors.
    Set the relay oA1 = CPr1, it will manage the compressor.

20.1 Regulation with screw compressors like Bitzer/ Hanbell/ Refcomp etc
Screw compressors like Bitzer use up to 3 valves for the power regulation.
20.1.1 Relay activation
ES. Compressor with 4 steps:
oA1 = CPr1; oA2 = StP; oA3 = StP; oA4 = StP; CtyP = Scr
a. Activation with valves ON due to voltage presence (StP=cL).

| oA1 = Screwl| oA2 = StP| oA3 = StP| oA4 = StP
---|---|---|---|---
Step 1 (25%)| ON| ON| OFF| OFF
Step 2 (50%)| ON| OFF| ON| OFF
Step 3 (75%)| ON| OFF| OFF| ON
Step 4 (100%)| ON| OFF| OFF| OFF

b. Activation with valves ON due to voltage absence (StP=oP).

| C1 = Screwl| C2 = stp| C3 = stp| C4 = stp
---|---|---|---|---
Step 1 (25%)| ON| OFF| ON| ON
Step 2 (50%)| ON| ON| OFF| ON
Step 3 (75%)| ON| ON| ON| OFF
Step 4 (100%)| ON| ON| ON| ON

Fan regulation

The fan regulation band Pb is divided by the number of fans:
The numbers of fans switched ON is proportional to the value of the input signal: when this distances itself from the target set point and enters the various bands, the fans are switched ON, to be then turned OFF when the signal brings near the set point.
In this way if the pressure is greater than regulation band, all the fans are on, if the pressure (temperature) is lower than the regulation band all the fans are off.
Naturally also for this regulations all the delays (Fon and FoF) are valid.
Regulation according to the running hours
The algorithm switch on and off the loads according to the running hours of each load. In this way the running hours are balanced.

21.1 Condenser with Inverter or Eci Fans–Analog Output Setting
This configuration is used when all fans of the condensing group are ECI fans or driven by one inverter or a chopped phase driver.
The capacity used by the inverter is proportional to the delivery pressure value inside the regulation band (SETF-Pb/2÷ SETF+Pb/2.

Additional functions

22.1 Compressor running proof function
The digital inputs are normally used to signal a compressor or fan failure
It’s also possible to set the digital inputs for running proof signalling. That means when compressor relay is activated, after a configurable delay the digital input related to the compressor should goes on too (usually a contact from compressor contactor) and the  controller has the “confirmation” that compressor is running.
If it doesn’t, that means something is wrong between the controller and the com pressor itself.

22.1.2 Alarms related

Label Meaning Reaason Action Reset
FC01… FCO5 Running proof alarm with automatic recover The digital input set

is switched off and the safety timers start Automatic — when safety timers

are over
LC01… LCO5| Running proof alarm with manual recover| 5 running proof alarms happened in a hour.| The compressor 1..4 is switched off| Manual by means:
– Controller off-on
– Reset by keyboard
– Reset by monitoring system

22.1.3 Example
EI: Rack with 2 compressors, with compressor safeties and running proof circuit for each compressor:
Compressor 1 on relay 1: oA1 = CPr1
Compressor 2 on relay 2: oA2 = CPr1
Safety for compressor 1 on digital input 1: iF01 = oA1
Safety for compressor 2 on digital input 2: iF02 = oA2
Running proof circuit for compressor 1 on digital input 3: iF03 = Co1
Running proof circuit for compressor 2 on digital input 4: iF04 = Co2
2 seconds delay before signalling alarm and stopping the compressor 1: d1d = 2
2 seconds delay before signalling alarm and stopping the compressor 2: d2d = 2
When the compressor 1 (or 2) starts, if by 2sec the digital input 3 (or 4) is not activated (running proof function) the FC01 alarm is signalled and the compressor is stopped.
Alarm recover as soon as the safety timers of the compressor (onon, ofon) are over and compressor come back available for regulation.
After 5 consecutive alarms, the alarms move from automatic restart to manual restart and it must be reset by Keyboard, of by switching off and on the controller.

22.2 Flood protection function
To ensure the maximum safety of the plant, a relay is activated when the compressors can’t be switched on since they are blocked due to safety times or for other issues or stopped for maintenance.
This output can be used to block the liquid injection to the cabinets to avoid to flood the suction collectors. The relay will be disabled once the compressors can restart (see scheme 1).
DIXELL XC450CX Digital Temperature Controller -
function

To enable this function set one relay by the parameters oA2 or oA3 or oA4 or oA5, as flood protection, EI oA4 = Liq, and then connect it to the external device that blocks the cabinet injection.
NOTE: the relay set as flood protection is automatically activated even when the controller is in stand-by mode.
NOTE
If the compressors are activated in fix sequence, (Sty = no), and the compressor that has to be activated is locked by safety timers, the relay set as flood protection is switched on till the safety timers are over.

22.3 Suction superheat monitoring
Controller can monitor the suction superheat, and signal situations of low superheat, with a pre-alarm and alarm thresholds.
According to the settings, compressors can be stopped in case of low superheat alarm, to preserve compressor integrity.

22.3.1 Suction Superheat detecting

DIXELL XC450CX Digital Temperature Controller -
detecting

To detect the suction superheat an auxiliary probe among P4 (term. 13-14) has to be set as superheat temperature probe.
To do this set ASH9 = P4.
Controller automatically calculates the suction superheat using the value of the suction probe P1 and the probe set in the parameter ASH9.
The SH is available after 1 minute since at least one compressor is running.

22.3.2 Low superheat signalling and actions
Controller can signal low superheat pre-alarm, only warning, and low superheat alarm, warning and regulation according to parameter ASH4.
The alarm messages and the regulation are described in the following table

Label Meaning Cause Action Recovery
PrSH Low
superheat Pre-allarm The superheat is less than: SH< ASH2 + ASHO for ASH1
time Only warning Automatic:

when superheat: SH>ASHO+ASH2+1 °C(2°F)
ALSH| Low
superheat allarm| The superheat is less than: SH< ASH2 for ASH3 time| Regulation depends on ASH4: ASH4 = no: regulation not affected. ASH4 = yes: regulation is stopped.| Automatic:
when superheat: SH> ASH5 + ASH2

22.4 Hot gas injection valve
Controller can manage a hot gas injection valve to increase suction superheat. See above figure.
22.4.1 Parameters
A relay must be set as hot gas valve: oA2 or oA3 or oA4 or oA5 = HGi, and
an auxiliary probe among or P4 (term. 13-14) has to be set as superheat temperature probe ASH9 = P4.
Then the following parameters:
ASH7 Superheat value to enable hot gas injecting valve (0.1 to 15.0°C/ 1 to 30°F)
ASH8 Differential for ASH7 (0.1 to 30.0°C/ 1 to 60°F)

22.4.2 Regulation:
The regulation respects the following schema:
Superheat < ASH7 – ASH8 → HGi on
Superheat > ASH7→ HGi off
ASH7 < Superheat < ASH7 – ASH8 → Status.
Dove SH = valore di SH

22.4.3 Special conditions
a. With ASH9 = nP: none probe set as SH probe and one relays set as HGi (valve for hot gas injection) the configuration error is displayed “no Probe For SH”, and the relay set as HGi is never activated..
b. If the probe used to calculate the SH is in error the related probe fault alarm is generated (P4) and the HGi relay is not activated.

Alarm list

Usually alarm conditions are signaled by means of:

  1. Activation of alarm output
  2. Buzzer activation
  3. Message on proper display
  4. Log of alarm: code and duration.
