Start-up and Shut-down
This section will provide basic information on chiller
operation for common events. With microelectronic
controls, ladder diagrams cannot show today's complex
logic, as the control functions are much more involved
than older pneumatic or solid state controls.
Sequence of Operation
Adaptive control algorithms can also complicate the exact
sequence of operation. This section illustrates common
control sequences.

is a diagram of the five possible software states.
This diagram can be thought of as a state chart, with the

Descriptions
•
The text in the circles are the internal software
designations for each state.
•
The first line of text in the circles are the visible top
level operating modes that can be displayed on Tracer
AdaptiView.
•
The shading of each software state circle corresponds
to the shading on the time lines that show the state that
the chiller is in.
