1.2 Functional layout
The figure below shows the functional layout of an air handling
unit. Damper actuators and valve actuators are field devices that
communicate through Fieldbus 1 (ref. C). Fieldbus 2 (ref. E) is the medium
through which the serial probes communicate the values measured,
and through which the humidifier control board and the fans exchange
data and receive setpoints from the controller. The built-in terminal and
the remote terminal, which communicate via pLAN (ref. A), are used for
installing the application program and for commissioning the system.
The PGD touchscreen terminal, intuitive and simple to use, can be used
while the unit is normally working to set switch-on and switch-off times,
to enter the main parameters, to perform other advanced functions of
the application program and to view any alarms triggered. In this case the
data is communicated through the BMS2 serial port (ref. D). The system
can be connected to a supervision system (Konnex®, LON®, BACnet™, etc.)
after installing the relative BMS1 expansion card (ref. B).

Important warnings:
• By applying the appropriate impedance, a serial port with Main (FBus)
hardware supplies the network with the bias voltage required to run all
the connected devices, i.e. the main itself and its secondarys.
• Conversely, serial ports with secondary hardware (BMS) do not provide
bias voltage, so it is always advisable to connect at least one device
with main hardware (FBus) to the network so that it is correctly biased.
• However, no more than two devices with main hardware (FBus) can
be connected to the same network, otherwise the network’s total
bias impedance becomes too small and incapable of supplying the
required voltage to the RS485 network.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Mounting on DIN rail and dimensions
The controller is designed to be mounted on a DIN rail. The figure below
shows the dimensions for each size.
Mounting:
• place the controller on the DIN rail and press it down gently. The tabs
at the back will snap into place and lock the controller.
Removing:
• lift the tabs using a screwdriver applied to their release slots. The tabs
are kept in place by springs.

4.2 Installation
Environmental conditions
Avoid installing the controller and the terminal in places with:
• exposure to direct sunlight and to the elements in general;
• temperature and humidity outside the product’s range of operation
(see “Technical Specifications”);
• large, rapid fluctuations in room temperature;
• strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (avoid installing
near transmitting antennas);
• strong vibrations or knocks;
• presence of explosives or flammable gas mixtures;
• exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres (e.g. sulphur and
ammonia vapours, salt mist, fumes) that can cause corrosion and/or
oxidation;
• exposure to dust (formation of a corrosive patina with possible
oxidation and reduced insulation);
• exposure to water.
Positioning the controller inside the electrical panel

Install the controller inside an electrical panel in a position where it cannot
be reached and is protected from knocks or impacts. The controller should
be placed inside the panel in a position where it is physically separated
from power components (solenoids, contactors, actuators, inverters,
etc.) and their respective cables. The ideal solution is to house these two
circuits in two separate cabinets. Proximity to such devices/cables may
cause random malfunctions that are not immediately evident. The panel’s
casing must allow an adequate flow of cooling air.

• In case of malfunctions do not attempt to repair the device, but
contact a CAREL service centre.
Electrical installation
Attention: Before servicing the equipment in any way disconnect

the controller from the power mains by putting the system’s main switch
on OFF.
Make sure the system is provided with a power disconnector conforming Fig. 4.b
to regulations. Use cable lugs that are suitable for the terminals used.
Loosen each screw and insert the cable lugs, then tighten the screws.

230 Vac digital inputs
Medium models feature one group of inputs (terminal J25) that can be powered
either at 230 Vac, indicated with ID7H and DI8H, or two inputs that can be
powered at 24 Vac/Vdc, indicated with DI7 and DI8.
In this group, the inputs have the same common pole. The group have rinforced
insulation from the other electrical circuit of controller.
The digital inputs must be powered at the same voltage (24 Vac, 28 to 36
Vdc or 230 Vac) in order to avoid dangerous short-circuits and/or the risk of
powering lower-voltage circuits with 230 Vac electricity.
Note:
• the input voltage must be 230 Vac (+10/-15%), 50/60 Hz.
• If DI7 and DI8 are used, it is not possible to use DI7H and DI8H and vice versa.
• 230Vac digital inputs have rinforced insulation against the other parts.

The controller has a built-in driver that can be used to control one or two unipolar
electronic expansion valves.
Notes:
• in order to manage the valves, the algorithm needs for each valve two probes
(1 pressure probe and 1 temperature probe);
• the probes for valve 1 have to be connected in U1 and U2;
• the probes for valve 2 have to be connected in U3 and U4;

5.6 Digital outputs
Electromechanical relay digital outputs: difference between
marker "NO/NC" and "Out"
The controller features some digital outputs with electromechanical relays. There
is 2 types of digital outputs:
• outputs with voltage-free contact; these outputs are marked with "NO" or "NC",
followed by the numeration;
• powered-on outputs (it is possible to connect the load directly to the output);
these outputs are marked with "Out" followed by the numeration; these outputs
take the power supply from J21 connector (C2, V-IN) in which it is possible to
connect 24Vac or 110/230Vac in dependence of the loads connected to the
outputs "Out".
For ease of installation, the common terminals of some of the relays have been
grouped together.
The type of insulation is described in the table below. See also the Technical
Specifications table.
Type of insulation
Between relays in the same group Basic
Between groups of relays Double insulation
Between relays and the rest of the controller Double insulation
Notes:
• inside each group, the relays have just basic insulation and must therefore have
the same voltage (generally 24 Vac or 110/230 Vac);
• between groups there is double insulation, so different groups can have
different voltages.

Attention: The current on the common terminals must not exceed
the capacity (rated current) of each single terminal (8A).
Some relays have change-over contacts.

Note: When different relay outputs must be operated consecutively

at very close intervals (e.g. star-delta motor starter) in the order of
hundreds of ms, use relays belonging to the same group, according to
the following table.
To use the product in 70°C environment, must be used 105°C approved
cable.

Attention: Using relays that belong to different groups can cause

delays in switching.
5.7 Solid state relay (SSR) digital outputs

pCOOEM+ controllers are also available in versions with 1 or 2 solid-state
relays (SSR) for controlling devices that require an unlimited number of
switching cycles that would not be supported by electromechanical
relays. These outputs are marked Out2 and Out3 and, in according with
par. 5.6 Digital outputs, this means that they are powered-on outputs,
and the power supply must be connected to J21 (C2/V-IN) connector.
The SSR outputs are dedicated to resistive loads powered at 24 Vac, 28 to
36 Vdc or 230 Vac in dependence with the model.
The connection diagrams are the same like the output with relay.
Attention: in the model with SSR at 24V, it is not possible to supply

a voltage different from 24V to the connector J21 (C2/V-IN). So, the
outputs with relay Out4...Out5 will supply 24V. The same consideration
for model with SSR at 230V.
Attention: In applications with SSR outputs:

1. the controller should drive only resistive loads with nominal current
less than the declared current for the output (see table of technical
carachteristics);
2. use an additional external SSR to drive inductive loads;
Note: The SSR load is powered at 24 Vac, 28 to 36 Vdc or 230 Vac;

consequently all the other terminals in the group must be powered at
the same voltage due to the absence of double insulation within the
group.

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

pCOLoad is the module that manages:
• uploading to the flash memory (of the device or of the ProgKeyX key
installed on the pCO);
• 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 pCO controllers are:

Work carried out with Commissioning is preceded by configuring the work

Upload in autorun mode

From to BIOS 6.24 version, it is possible to do the UPLOAD in AUTORUN Fig. 9.u
mode; without biult-in terminal using the display pLAN address.
Uploading in autorun mode is a special case of uploading in automatic pGD
mode. Unlike automatic mode, the user must wait for a specific message /0-*/,
to appear on the display to start or disable the operation described in the
configuration file. To upload a file in autorun mode, a configuration file
must be created and named “autorun.txt”.
Example of uploading BIOS+application. The upload involves two steps:
first the BIOS is updated and then the application.
The information is shown on the pCO’s built-in display and on the pGD1 Fig. 9.v
terminal, when both are featured.
5. The test phase starts.
Procedure:
1. Connect the pendrive to port A.

Attention: As can be seen, when updating the BIOS and the
application, the pGD1 terminal shows the message “NO LINK”, meaning
that no connection is established. Do not remove the terminal and wait
for the end of the update procedure, when the pGD1 terminal replicates
the messages on the built-in display.
