  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction EIM 365 is a superheat controller that can be used to control the superheat of the evaporator by adjusting the opening degree of a valve. It is used in applications such as air conditioning, heat pumps and refrigeration. The controller can also be used as stepper valve driver by setting the valve opening degree manually via communication Bus.

It is the installer’s responsibility to check the installation thoroughly, and to fit the necessary safety devices.
  • Page 8 • Do not reverse the polarity of the power connection cables and avoid ground loops (i.e. avoid connecting one field device to several controllers as this may result in short circuits and can damage your device). • Use individual transformers for EIM 365 controller to avoid possible interference or grounding problems in the power supply.
  • Page 9 You can overcome this degradation by changing the settings for the valve driver. This guideline is based on the cable type being the same type as the standard Danfoss stepper motor cable Table 5: Recommended wire size and cable distance (twisted pair) between EIM controller and stepper motor valve Cable length 1 m –...
  • Page 10: Applications

    The EIM 365 controller is designed to be operated via Modbus and to rely on a constant connection to the master controller of the system it is located within. In this configuration the master controller reads the readout registers from the EIM 365 and uses the parameters to change the control behavior of the EIM 365 (see parameter list).
  • Page 11: User Interface

    Superheat controller, type EIM 365 (PV01) User Interface EIM 365 is to be setup using Modbus with connection to supervisor or using Danfoss Koolprog PC suite. In order to connect the product to Koolprog, Customer has to use modbus convertor mentioned in techincal specification.
  • Page 12: Configuration

    The EIM 365 controller has a default configuration to be operated via Modbus and to rely on a constant connection to the master controller of the system it is located within. In this configuration the master controller reads the readout registers from the EIM 365 and uses the parameters to change the control behavior of the EIM 365 (see Parameter list).

  • Page 14 The EIM 365 can be set in a standalone configuration by setting the modbus register i.e “HWMainSwitch” to 1. This will setup the S4 input to be used as a Regulation On / Off switch. Note that only external control of the EIM 365/336 in this configuration is through the Regulation On / Off switch.
  • Page 15  NOTE: That defrost is not initiated by the EIM 365, but must be initiated by the master controller. In a standalone configuration the defrost mode is not possible. If a more dynamic control of the opening degree during defrost is required, the user should disable the “Def Hold Ti 2”...

  • Page 19 This is often the case if the suction pressure is used to trigger low temperature/pressure alarms by the systems main controller. In these cases the sensors can be omitted from the EIM 365, and the sensor values can be received via modbus instead.
  • Page 20 Superheat controller, type EIM 365 (PV01)  WARNING: Wrongselection of refrigerant may cause damage to the compressor. Startup Modes Forced opening During startup In some applications it is necessary to open the valve quickly when the compressor turns on, to prevent too low suction pressure.
  • Page 21: Alarms

    Superheat controller, type EIM 365 (PV01) Alarms Alarms and troubleshooting Problems with startup Sometimes in one-to-one applications, the valve does not open sufficiently on startup, and troublesome low pressure trips may occur. The force opening of valve function has been implemented in the EIM 336 controller. After startup, this function will provide a constant, set minimum opening degree during a set time period, regardless of the superheat value.
  • Page 22 Superheat controller, type EIM 365 (PV01) Alarms and clearing alarms Several alarms are registered and made available on modbus. Most of these are automatically cleared when the error is no longer present. Sensor error : Temperature sensor error has a timeout of 10 minutes. This means that after the reason for a sensor error has gone, the error will remain active for 10 minutes, and then it is cleared.
