1. Serial network configuration
Hecu CO2 is fitted with a built-in RS485 Fieldbus serial port and optional
RS485 BMS serial port. The RS485 Fieldbus serial line can be connected to
1 power+ inverter and up to 5 MPXPRO/Ultracella controllers.
The addresses are defined as shown in the following table. To simplify
commissioning with the default settings, it is recommended to set the
MPXPRO/Ultracella controllers with consecutive addresses, starting
from address 2. The following table shows the deafault values of serial
addresses for MPXPRO/Ultracella connected.
Device Address Device Address
Power+ 1 MPXPRO/Ultracella 3 13
MPXPRO/Ultracella 1 11 MPXPRO/Ultracella 4 14

2.9 Installation
For installation, proceed as follows, with reference to the wiring diagrams:
• before performing any operations on the control board, disconnect
the main power supply by turning the main switch in the electrical
panel OFF.
• avoid touching the control board with bare hands, as any electrostatic
discharges may damage the electronic components;
• suitable electrical protection must be ensured by the manufacturer of
the cabinet or by appropriate installation of the controller;
• if there are several condensing units connected to the same electrical
panel, use a B or B+ residual current circuit breaker when the
compressors are controlled by inverter; these protection devices must
always be installed always upstream of the AC/A/F (see the figure
below):
Important: the following warnings must be observed when
connecting the controllers:
• incorrect power connections may seriously damage the controller;
• use cable ends suitable for the corresponding terminals. Loosen each
screw and insert the cable ends, then tighten the screws and gently
tug the cables to check they are sufficiently tight;
• separate as much as possible the probe and digital input cables from
cables to inductive loads and power cables, so as to avoid possible
electromagnetic disturbance. Never run power cables (including the
electrical panel cables) and probe signal cables in the same conduits;
• do not run probe signal cables in the immediate vicinity of power
devices (contactors, circuit breakers, etc.);
• reduce the path of probe cables as much as possible, and avoid spiral
paths that enclose power devices.

Important: class A software - the safety devices providing overload

and high pressure protection must control the compressor directly, and
consequently need to be wired in series with compressor contactor

• connect the supervisor serial line to the optional RS485 BMS card.

Important: avoid installing the controllers in environments with

the following characteristics:
• relative humidity greater than 90% or with condensation;
• strong vibrations or knocks;
• exposure to water sprays;
• exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres (e.g.: sulphur
and ammonia fumes, saline mist, smoke) to avoid corrosion and/or
oxidation;
• strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (therefore avoid
installing the devices near transmitting antennae);
• exposure of the controllers to direct sunlight and to the elements in
general.

Start-up
Hecu CO2 manages compressor start-up in the best way possible,
adapting operating speed so as to guarantee that the desired conditions
and excellent lubrication are reached very quickly.
For this reason, when starting the compressor is operated at a settable
fixed speed (Cag52) for the minimum ON time, Fig. 6.c. During this stage,
the out-of-envelope alarm is disabled, but speed control remains active
if approaching or exceeding zone 2 (maximum compression ratio), 3
(maximum condensing pressure) or 4 (current limit). When the pressure differential is below 1 barg – 0.5 barg (fixed value), the

If 15 seconds after compressor start-up, the pressure differential is less

than 0.2 barg higher than the value measured at start-up, Hecu CO2 stops
the compressor and generates a “No compressor start-up” alarm. This
alarm is automatically reset and Hecu CO2 tries to start the compressor
five times after a 30 second delay. After the fifth attempt, the alarm is no
longer automatically reset.
If equalisation is based on the pressure difference (delta), the controller
measures the DeltaP between compressor suction and discharge
pressure. When the difference is below the value set on screen Cag49,
the compressor is enabled to start.

The corresponding parameters are in loop: Compressors  Advanced

In the event of timed equalisation, the controller will not measure the
pressure difference but rather will enable the compressor to start after
a fixed equalisation time, equal to the minimum compressor off time,
which can be set on screen Caf17.
The valves used for equalisation and the percentage of opening to be
maintained during the procedure can be set on screen Caf19. For Hecu
CO2, the following valves can be selected: HPV, RPRV and bypass solenoid.
After compressor start-up, a delay can be set on screen Caf32 for closing
the selected equalisation valves.
For the LT configuration, LT compressor equalisation can only be
managed using the bypass solenoid valve.

Minimum pressure differential for lubrication
The min. pressure differential threshold for correct lubrication is related to
the type of BLDC compressor and cannot be modified. The low pressure
differential alarm is generated when the difference between condensing
pressure and evaporation pressure (DeltaP) remains below the limit
defined by the compressor manufacturer for a set time, and consequently
excellent lubrication is not guaranteed. The alarm stops the compressor
and is reset automatically. The alarm is not active during defrosting.
The corresponding parameters are in loop: Compressors  Advanced
screen Cag55.
DSH control
Hecu CO2 controls superheat on the compressor discharge line at the
same time as superheat on the suction line.
If suction superheat is less than 0K and discharge superheat is less than
10K, a countdown starts to set off the corresponding alarm (DSH Low
Liquid Flowback).
The alarm activation delay can be set on mask Cae41 and can be
differentiated for different stages of operation: compressor start-up,
steady operation, defrost/washing active.

Floating set point

This software function is available by exploiting serial communication
with the evaporators. Serial communication allows information to be
exchanged in real time between the main Hecu CO2 controller and the
MPXPRO devices.

Note: the MPXPRO controllers installed on the evaporators

implement the Smooth Lines function (see MPXPRO manual +0300055).
This function significantly reduces the number of ON-OFF cycles in
traditional control by modulating the evaporator temperature using an
electronic expansion valve and adapting the superheat set point using
appropriate PI control based on the effective control temperature.

This function can be enabled and configured manually or automatically.

• The automatic procedure involves the Fast Commissioning operation
described in chapter 7, which automatically configures the control
parameters on both the condensing unit and the evaporators, using
the default values optimised by CAREL, yet amply modifiable.
• To configure the function manually, make sure that there is a serial
connection with the MPXPRO controllers on the evaporators, and
choose the type of control on mask Cab01. The Smooth Lines function
will then need to be configured on the MPXPRO controllers, as
described in the next chapter.

6.4 Compressor managment on LT units
(DSS and independent)
Management with DSS1 and DSS3
This involves synchronised management of the compressors. It is
recommended to activate both DSS1 and DSS3 so as to avoid simultaneous
compressor starts and optimise operation of the LT stage in all operating
conditions.
Below is a description of the functions that can be set:
DSS1: screen Fib02
This function prevents the two compressors from starting simultaneously.
Once the required percentage for activation has been reached, the LT
compressor waits for the parallel compressor to start, and then is turn switched
on after a set delay.
DSS3: screen Fib04
Start the parallel compressor (L1) when starting the LT compressor (L2).•
Switch on L1 comp.s for L2 activation: NO/YES (def. YES). If NO is selected, the
parallel compressor cannot start without a request.
When DSS1 is enabled, the following parameters are hidden on screen Fib04:
• Switch on period: 180s (hidden). During this period, the parallel compressor
request is forced to 50% to allow it to be started;
• Timeout: 180s (hidden). The LT compressor waits for the parallel compressor
to start, however is switched on in any case after the set timeout has
elapsed;
• Force off line 2 if line 1 is off: YES (hidden). The LT compressor (L2) is switched
off when the parallel compressor (L1) is switched off.
When DSS1 is NOT enabled, the following parameters can be modified
on screen Fib04:
• Switch on period: 0-999s (def 180, this is the time that the parallel
compressor request is forced to 50% to allow it to start);
• Timeout: 0-999s (def. 180s; this is the time that the LT compressor waits for
the parallel compressor to start, after the set timeout it is switched on in
any case);
• Force off line 2 if line 1 is off: NO/YES.
• YES  forces the LT compressor off if the parallel compressor cannot
start.
• NO  forces the LT compressor off if there is an alarm on the parallel
compressor
23
Independent management
Activating independent management on screen Fib05 automatically disables
DSS1 and DSS3, and the compressors can be switched on/off independently,
based on their own request. Some safety logic is also guaranteed.
Below is a description of the functions that can be set.
Independent start of compressors: YES/NO (Other functions - DSS - Settings)
By selecting YES, functions DSS1 and DSS3 are automatically disabled
and:
• the LT compressor can start even if activation of the parallel compressor
is NOT requested;
• the LT compressor cannot start if the parallel compressor is off due to
timing or alarms;
• the Parallel compressor is not activated if the LT compressor is not
operating (no LT required, LT compressor off due to timing or alarms).
Safety functions (active only if “Independent start of compressors” is set
to YES):

6.6 Oil management
Oil injection
Oil return is a critical factor when using BLDC compressors. Hecu CO2
can manage three different solutions for injecting return oil to the
compressor. The related configurations can be set on mask Fab15.
Capillary valve
The simplest solution is to use a capillary valve, with fixed opening,
calibrated based on rated conditions. This solution however creates
inefficiencies, by injecting or less oil than required by the compressor.
Electronic expansion valve (EEV LEVEL MNG)
This solution involves a CAREL expansion valve. The valve opening is
calibrated based on normal system operating conditions. This solution is
very efficient from an energy viewpoint, as it injects the exact quantity of
oil needed by the compressor. In order to use this function, an advanced
oil separator needs to be installed, featuring a level sensor that defines
three states via two digital inputs, configurable on masks Faaa55, Faaa56.
An advanced algorithm calculates valve opening based on the time that
elapses between the various states, comparing this against the previous
measurements. The objective is to replicate the oil level inside the
compressor by measuring the amount in the separator and keeping this
level stable over time.

moving to 1 step/sec.

calibrated based on BLDC compressor operating conditions, adjusted

Oil speed boost

This function boosts the return of oil by operating the compressor at
a fixed speed for a set time, thus recovering the oil spread along the
refrigerant circuit.
This override function is activated if the following conditions are true, see
masks Faab15, Faab23:
• Speed boost : YES
• Compressor speed < minimum threshold
• The previous conditions last for a set time

Oil recovery washing
Another function available on Hecu CO2 to assist oil return to the
compressor involves washing the evaporators. This function uses serial
communication between Hecu CO2 and the MPXPRO controllers, and
the electronic expansion valves on the evaporators.
The oil recovery washing function sets the superheat set point to 0K for
a settable time t1 [default 3 minutes] in order to retrieve the oil spread
along the refrigerant circuit; the valve will thus open further, “washing”
the evaporator and flushing the accumulated oil back the compressor.
Note: to make this function more effective, the electronic expansion
valve on the evaporator opens fully at the start of the recovery washing
cycle and then its position is controlled automatically based on the new
superheat set point.
td is the time at the end of a washing cycle for which compressor speed
remains fixed, and valve opening returns to the same position as prior
to activation of the function [default 2 minutes]. If this value is set to 0,
at the end of a washing cycle the system will restart without overriding
compressor speed and keeping the valve at the previous opening
position for a set time.
During a washing cycle, the following conditions are set:
• Oil recovery washing: ON
• Smooth Line: OFF
• P3: 0K
• P7: -10K
• St: -50°C
“N. of washing per day in each evap.” is the number of washing per day
for each evaporator.
Fixing time is the transition time at the end of each single washing to
keep the system in stable condition.
6.7 HPV valve management
Management of the HPV valves, which separates the high pressure part of
the system from the medium pressure part, determines the transcritical
and subcritical operation mode of the unit. In transcritical mode, valve
regulation is done to obtain maximum yield while in subcritical mode,
regulation controls the subcooling.
The HPV valve has a proportional + integral (PI) type of regulation which
uses an optimal pressure value of the gas cooler calculated on the basis
of the gas cooler pressure and temperature as a regulation setpoint, as
described hereafter. Enabling HPV valve management coincides with
enabling the transcritical system management mode.
The HPV valve can be managed directly by Hecu CO2 through the on-
board driver (in the control). The algorithm for the calculation of the HPV
valve set point can be optimized or customized by the user, as set by
parameter.

The following diagram explains operation and control of the electronic

expansion valve and the superheat set point:

HPV valve accessory functions
HPV valve management includes some accessory functions:
• Pre-positioning: entering the unit ON status, the HPV valve remains at
a fixed position that can be set by a parameter for a fixed time, which
is also settable by a parameter, in order to be able to quickly raise the PREC PREC max

The Fast Commissioning function is an automatic procedure to assist
installers in the final configuration of the entire system: condensing
unit connected via serial line to a maximum of five MPXPRO/Ultracella
controllers.
Once having configured the condensing unit, the MPXPRO/Ultracella
controllers installed on the evaporators need to be configured, and then
the entire system comprising the combination of both.

7.5 MPXPRO/Ultracella control in superheat. However evaporator efficiency is penalised and the air
temperature set point may not be reached.
Once having connected the MPXPRO controllers to Hecu, the control
parameters will be as follows, masks Eac01, Eac02, Eac03.
As regards the control parameters, the following can be used as a guide:

Proportional gain (from 3 to 30)

Increasing the proportional gain K increases valve response speed and
is recommended if the system is particularly perturbed or to make
superheat control faster. If greater than 20, it may cause swings and
instability.

Integral time (from 40 to 400 sec)

Increasing the integral time Ti improves stability but makes the valve
slower to respond in reaching the set point. If less than 40 sec, it may
cause swings and instability. If the system is already perturbed, high
values (greater than 150 sec) are recommended to avoid creating further
disturbance.

Derivative time (from 0 to 10 sec)

Increasing the derivative time Td improves valve response, in particular in
perturbed systems, and reduced the amplitude of swings in superheat.
If greater than 10 sec it may cause excessively fast response and
consequently instability.

Smooth Lines function

The Smooth Lines function is used to optimise evaporator capacity
based on actual cooling demand allowing more effective and stable
control of the cabinet. This function completely eliminates traditional
on/off control, modulating cabinet temperature exclusively by using
the electronic valve, adjusting the superheat set point with accurate PI
control based on effective control temperature.

The main features are:

• The superheat set point for managing the electronic expansion valve
Electronic valve control can vary between a minimum (traditional set point P3) and maximum

8. SIGNALS AND ALARMS

Hecu CO2 can manage both alarms relating to the status of the digital
inputs and to system operation. For each alarm, the following are
controlled:
• Actions on the devices, if necessary
• Output relays (one global and two with different priorities, if configured)
• Red LED on the terminal and the buzzer, where featured
• Type of recognition (automatic, manual, semiautomatic)
• Any activation delay
The complete list of alarms, with the related information as described
above, is available in the Alarm table.
8.1 Alarm management
All alarms feature the following behaviour:
• When an alarm is activated, the red LED flashes and the buzzer is
activated (where featured); the relay corresponding to the global alarm
and any alarms with high priority is activated (if configured)
• Pressing (Alarm), the red LED stays on steady, the buzzer is muted
and the alarm mask is shown
• If there is more than one active alarm, these can be scrolled using
(Up) (Down). This situation is signalled by an arrow at the bottom
right on the mask
• Pressing (Alarm) again for at least 3 seconds manually acknowledges
the alarms, which are cleared from the display unless others are active
(they are saved in the log)
Priority
For certain alarms, the alarm output relays can be configured according
to two types of priority:
• R1: serious alarm
• R2: normal alarm
The corresponding relays, once configured, are activated when an alarm
with the corresponding priority occurs. For other alarms, priority is fixed
and associated by default to one of the two relays.
Reset/acknowledgement
Alarms can be reset manually, automatically or semi-automatically:
• Manual: the alarm is acknowledged by pressing (Alarm) twice,
the first time displays the corresponding alarm mask and mutes the
buzzer, the second (extended, for at least 3 seconds) cancels the alarm
(which is saved in the log). If the alarm is still active, it is not reset and
the signal is shown again.
• Automatic: when the alarm condition ceases, the alarm is automatically
reset, the LED comes on steady and the corresponding mask remains
displayed until (Alarm) is pressed and held; the alarm is saved in
the log.
• Semiautomatic: the alarm is reset automatically, until reaching a
maximum number of activations in a set period. When the number
reaches the maximum setting, the alarm then needs to be reset
manually.
For manual reset, the functions associated with the alarm will not be
reactivated until the alarm is reset, while for automatic reset, the functions
are reactivated as soon as the alarm condition ceases.
Log
The alarm log can be accessed:
• from branch H.a of the main menu
• pressing (Alarm) and then (Enter) when there are no active
alarms
• pressing (Enter) after having scrolled all the alarms.
The alarm log masks show:
1. Order of activation (no. 01 is the oldest alarm)
2. Time and date the alarm was activated
3. Short description
4. Main values at the moment the alarm occurred (suction pressure and
condensing pressure)
Note: a maximum of 50 alarms can be logged; after this limit any
new events overwrite the oldest ones, which are therefore deleted.

function is available in mask Cag65.
In case of low pressostat alarm the valves will not be forced close to allow
the system to restart.

Commissioning: basic concepts
Note: The following paragraphs are from the online help of pCO
Manager, to which the user is referred for further details.
Commissioning is a configuring and real-time monitoring software that
can be used to supervise the performance of an application program
installed on a pCO, to start up the pCO and to perform debugging and
maintenance. With this software the user can set the configuration
parameters, edit the values of volatile and permanent variables, save on
file the trends of the unit’s main quantities, manually manage the unit’s I/O
using simulation files and monitor/reset the alarms of the unit on which
the device is installed.
Work carried out with Commissioning is preceded by configuring the work
environment, which is typically done by the project designer. The active
project in 1Tool is automatically loaded by pCO Manager.
The project designer can use the configuration functions of Commissioning
to decide which variables should be subjected to monitoring, logging,
trend-monitoring and event-monitoring, to organize variables into
categories and to create sets of configuration parameters.
Operators using Commissioning for maintenance will be able to see the
necessary variables and to draw from preset configuration values.
Hecu CO2 +0300085EN rel. 2.1 - 06.09.2018
Support files
Once the design of the application is completed, 1Tool generates a number
of files in the compiling stage, two of which are required by Commissioning:
• <applicationName>.2CF (variable descriptor)
• <applicationName>.2CD (category and access profile descriptor)
In addition to these files, the software also manages the applicationName.
DEV file, which contains the unit’s preset parameters. When the user has
finished using Commissioning, whether for configuration or monitoring
purposes, the following files can be generated:
• <applicationName>.2CW (descriptor for categories, access profiles,
monitoring groups);
• <FilenameCommissioningLog>.CSV (file used for the commissioning
log, containing data of the variables logged during monitoring).
Therefore, to configure Commissioning the following files are required:
.2CF, 2CD and, if necessary, the .DEV file, which can be imported or
exported. For monitoring purposes, in addition to the files above, it might
also be necessary to have the .2CW file, containing the definition of the
work environment. The commissioning log file is a simple output file.
pCO Load: basic concepts
pRackLoad is the module that manages:
• uploading to the flash memory (of the device or of the ProgKeyX key
installed on the pRack);
• uploading to the NAND memory of certain devices;
• downloading the log file, .DEV file and P memory (from the flash
memory);
• downloading files from the NAND memory, if present.
The files exchanged with the Flash memories of controllers are:
• Boot.BIN (download riservato, upload abilitato da menu);
• Bios.BIN (download riservato);
• <applicationName>.BLB (download reserved);
• <applicationName>.BIN (download reserved);
• <applicationName>.DEV;
• <applicationName>.GRT (upload only, where the .GRP file is extracted);
• <applicationName>.IUP;
• <applicationName>.LCT;
• <applicationName>.PVT;
• <pCOlogName>.BIN, <pCOlogName>.CSV, <pCOlogName>.CSV (only
if log files have been configured, download only).
The files exchanged with the NAND memories of controllers are:
• any file that the can independently copy to the flash memory (see
above list);
• external files (e.g. .pdf or .doc files for documentation).
LogEditor: basic concepts
LogEditor is the module used to configure the log files of pCO devices
(pCO logs). Configuring pCO logs consists in defining a number of sets
of variables in which to specify which variables should be logged, the
logging method (by frequency or by event) and the minimum number
of loggings required. Configuration is based on a binary file (.PVT – Public
Variable Table), which is generated by 1Tool and contains the descriptive
data of the variables that can be logged.
All the log configurations so defined are saved in the .LCT (Log
Configuration Table) binary file, which must be uploaded to the pCO
together with the .PVT file. Log configuration data is also saved in a file
that can be used only by LogEditor – the .LEF file, which must be saved to
be edited with LogEditor as necessary.
LogEditor can be used even when the device is not connected. Once the
files for logging are uploaded to the pCO, the pCO saves the logged data
in the following files:
• .BIN file containing all the data in binary format;
• .CSV file containing the same data in a generic format with values
separated by commas;
• *_GRAPH.CSV containing the same data to be used for charting
purposes.
