INTRODUCTION

The XC643CX is designed to manage one Copeland
digital compressor on a single-compressor condensing
unit, or two compressors in parallel, with one digital
compressor in addition to a fixed-speed compressor.
The controller also manages condenser fans. Control
is based on the pressure or temperature sensed in the
low pressure suction (compressors) and high pressure
(condenser) circuits.
The front panel offers information on the system status,
the status of loads, and any alarm conditions. The
controller can be easily programmed through a hot key.
The controller can be connected to a monitoring system
via the serial TTL output, using the standard ModBus
RTU protocol.

Overview

On refrigeration applications where the load may vary
over a wide range, some means of capacity control is
often desirable for optimum system performance and
control. In addition, compressor capacity modulation
can reduce power and energy consumption, reduce

compressor cycling, and decrease the starting
electrical load. In order to achieve these objectives,
Emerson Climate Technologies has developed the
Copeland Discus Digital
compressors.
The XC643 is one module (one part number) which
can support scroll and Discus digital (3D, 4D, 6D)
compressors. See Table 1 for specific modulation
ranges.

The simplest way to apply the XC643 digital controller
is with one suction pressure transducer or evaporator
temperature sensor. The controller reads the suction
pressure and modulates the digital compressor as
