7.2 Components 7.2.1 Refrigerant circuit, standard Compressor The compressor is usually installed in the air conditioning unit. However, it is also possible to actuate an external compressor. If this is the case, no installed compressor can be actuated. Set the compressor type using the following command: comp 1 type 1 (installed compressor) or: comp 1 type 2 (external compressor/ EC tower) Establishing the compressor type determines which parameters of the compressor menu are effective.

8. Special operating modes 8.1 Week program Config Values Week program The week program is based on two different temperature setpoints that you have already set in the Operate/Values/Air/Temperature menu. Setpoint 1 is represented by a “1”, setpoint 2 by a “2”. The setting is designed in a user-friendly way.
8.2 Zone control The zone concept is based on the idea of keeping a homogeneous room climate within a spatial area by spatially distributing the chilling. Setting zone num- Up to 20 zones can be defined within an I/O bus. A zone is defined if at least bers 1-20 one unit is allocated to that zone.
Page 49
Config/Zone/More/Valid alarms Alarm change-over (Z3a) So that there is a change-over when alarms occur, alarms can be defined as valid in menus Z3a, Z3b, Z3c and Z3d by adjusting the parameter to “1”. If this type of alarm (which is defined as valid) occurs, the defective unit is switched off and the standby unit with the next highest bus address is switched on.
Page 50
Backup operation It is possible to set a backup operation using the parameter in the second line of the Z1 menu. If this parameter is set to “0”, the backup operation is deactivated. (Z1) Using this parameter you can adjust the number of defective units that leads to the backup operation being introduced.
A special function exists for the zone control: - Sequencing. (Z1) 8.2.1 Sequencing A time-dependent unit change-over is realized using sequencing. With help from standby units, a high level of operational reliability and an even unit uti- lization is achieved. The sequencing time (parameter in the first line of menu Z1) sets the time for periodic change-overs.

9.2 Bus set-up 9.2.1 General The IO bus consists of a maximum of 20 participants. On the C7000 system, only C7000 IOC or C7000AT participants can be in the IO bus. Each bus participant has its own IO bus address which must only appear once in the data bus. The IO bus addresses range from 0 to 19.
9.2.3 Manual preparations You need a shielded cable with lines twisted in pairs and a characteristic impedance of 120 Ω (recommendation Belden 9841), which you guide from unit to unit and connect at Dipswitch Dipswitch terminals 56-59 on each I/O controller (IOC). In the example below, the bus termination addr.

9.2.6 Special cases Bus disconnection An important aspect concerning the IO bus display is that this can only happen from the view of the unit that you are currently on. For example, if the bus is separated between bus participants 4, 5, 6, 7, 16, 17 and bus participants 18, 19, there are two completely separate running buses.
Page 61
The bus error has an adjustable alarm time delay that waits for the bus error to be issued. This can be adjusted sep- arately for each bus participant. Address conflict The address conflict is the second error relating to the bus. An address conflict occurs when several bus participants have the same bus address.
