Overview Of A Typical System; Introduction To The System Interface Panel; General Description - Johnson Controls FRICK QUANTUM LX Operation

Frick Company builds numerous cooling and refrigeration
products and control packages, which include the follow-
ing:
• Compressors (for refrigeration/cooling or natural
gas extraction)
• Evaporators
• Condensers & Vessels
• Hygienic air units (AcuAir)
Each of these units may be purchased and used individu-
ally, or in groups.
The individual Frick packages mentioned above are con-
trolled by a computer based machine control system,
known as the Quantum™ LX control panel. The controller
continuously monitors the conditions and operation of its
attached package and its various subsystems. It also di-
rects the operation of its individual components. It is fully
self-contained.
The Quantum™ LX control panel user interface is used to
display graphic screens, which represent various aspects
of unit operation. By pressing a key on the keypad, the
labeled or described function is recognized by the control
processor, and appropriate action is taken.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM INTERFACE PANEL

General Description

This optional System Interface Panel (SIP) has been
designed to allow an operator to effi ciently access,
control and monitor the operation of all Frick Quan-
tum™ LX packages from a single access point, when
all units are connected through a common Ethernet
network. The touch screen control panel is used for
graphic displays. By touching an active area of the
display, a data entry box will appear, allowing the op-
erator to enter different setpoint values, via a key-
board overlay, that can appear on the screen. The
System Interface Panel provides a platform to easily
navigate between all networked control systems, as
well as a remote access point which is reachable from
any desktop web browser. Remote access provides
users with the ability to connect to Frick control sys-
tems from both home and offi ce, or any other loca-
tion providing Internet access.
A System Interface Panel can be confi gured with con-
nections for up to 100 Quantum™ LX panels, when
using the Icon Display Mode (this is the default mode
that the panel powers up to).
The screen display and function is based on web
browser technology, and will closely resemble the

OVERVIEW OF A TYPICAL SYSTEM

Quantum™ LX
Typical Compressor Package
Although the primary means of operator interaction to
each package is via the built-in Quantum™ LX control
panel, an additional method has been created to allow
multiple packages (and various confi gurations) to be ac-
cessed and controlled from a single access point. This de-
vice is known as the System Interface Panel, or SIP.
The SIP has the capability of mimicking the look of any of
the types of panels that are connected to it. The following
information is presented to help the user to connect and
interact with the SIP.
