The various programming options allow the user to incorporate lead-lag sequences into the pumps and chiller stages, specify conditions for pump activity as well as apply schedules and limits. All these parameters can be accessed and modified using the Prolon Focus software. REV. 7.3.1 / PL-HRDW-CHL-C1000-C/F-EN...
Operating Sequence Pumps The PL-C1000 Chiller Controller can control systems with one or two pumps. The dual pump sequence is intended for hydronic systems where there is a secondary pump that acts as a backup to the primary pump, with both pumps being installed in parallel.

The example on Figure 3 shows the switches 1, 2 and 4 on the ON position. So the corresponding values are 1, 2 and 8, giving an address sum of 11. (1+2+8=11) The Prolon network allows a maximum of 127 addresses, therefore 127 controllers. Figure 3 - Addressing Dipswitches...
The C1000 Chiller Controller has two separate communication ports offering the same functionality on each. Both act as ports for incoming Modbus communications from other Prolon devices or interfaces, such as a Network Controller or remote computer with Prolon Focus software.
Inputs Temperature Sensors The C1000 Chiller Controller has three analog inputs to monitor various temperature readings, including supply water, return water and entering condenser water (ECWT) or outside air temperature (OAT), whether the chiller is water cooled or air cooled. The sensors used are standard 10k type 3 thermistors that share a single common connection (see Figure 6). Note that the outside air temperature can be provided by an alternate source on the network.
The C1000 Chiller controller contains 5 customizable outputs; four triac ON/OFF outputs (24VAC) and one analog output (0-10VDC). Output configuration is performed via the Prolon Focus software. An integrated resettable fuse protects each of the outputs of the C1000 against current surges and short circuits.

Power Source The Prolon C1000 controller is powered by a 24 VAC power source connected using the "COM" terminal and the "24 VAC" terminal (see Figure 14). The common for all inputs and outputs are the same as the power source’s common (exception: when an output is set to passive, the common for this output will not correspond to the power source common).
