Parker RAC Europe PSD04 | User manual ver. 3.6 | Code 144PSDI364 OPERATION Switch on and resynchronization At switch-on and after a resynchronization, the fundamental parameters for moving the motor are acquired. The parameters of pressure and temperature units of measure are loaded at switch-on, and, if necessary, is performed the conversion of all the parameters of pressure and temperature.
Page 20
The Driver type (parameter DrTy) used depends on the hardware, while the Stepper type (parameter StTy) depends on the motor to be controlled; currently, the PSD04 can only be used with Parker Sporlan bipolar stepper motors. The driving mode can be selected through parameter Driving mode selection (Pi01).
6.2.1 Preliminary information PSD04 implements a stepper motor control according to the state machine presented in the table here below (hereinafter the document will make reference to these status). The state in which the algorithm is in may be readable in the FSM status (Finite State Machine, parameter Stat).
PSD04. Selecting a value from 6 to 9, it is possible to operate the PSD04 in standalone mode if a communications fault occurs, in this case the DI1 or DI2 inputs must be configured as enable (parameter Ph11 = 1 or Ph21 = 1).
Parker RAC Europe PSD04 | User manual ver. 3.6 | Code 144PSDI364 The other three analog input are configured according to their respective Ai probe usage (parameter Pia). Algorithm start-up To enter algorithm mode, from the Stand-by off (10), set the Main control type (parameter Pcty) with a value greater or equal to 6, and enable the valve.
Parker RAC Europe PSD04 | User manual ver. 3.6 | Code 144PSDI364 Debugging mode The debugger feature is enabled when Pr02 = 2: the valve will move from a Debug minimum position (parameter Prd1) to a Debug maximum position (parameter Prd2) with the step rate defined by Debug step rate (parameter Prd0).

Parker RAC Europe PSD04 | User manual ver. 3.6 | Code 144PSDI364 With the operation mode selected, the regulator uses the related SH set-point parameter. This is a fundamental parameter for the proper functioning of the control algorithm. A low set-point ensures a higher evaporator performance, lower temperatures, and minimum variations, but has the disadvantage that liquid may reach the compressor.
Parker RAC Europe PSD04 | User manual ver. 3.6 | Code 144PSDI364 CONFIGURATION Unit of measurements Units of measurement used in the internal algorithm are Celsius (ºC) and Kelvin (K) degrees in tenths for temperatures, and barG in hundreds for pressure.
