EVDRIVE05 waits for valve synchronisation to be completed and moves on to the next status. 6.2.3 Awaiting positioning end EVDRIVE05 waits for valve positioning to be completed at 0 absolute steps and moves on to the next status. 6.2.4 Standby When the valve is disabled and has completed positioning it stops in this status.

Re-syncing is used to align the relevant valve at 0 % opening (zero steps), so that no steps are missed during regulation. Re-sync activation takes place: • At each power-on (power-on via power supply connection) of the EVDRIVE05 (full sync); • If set, at each interval P13 (partial synchronisation);...
(in which the pressure probe is installed) can be shared with all the others. In this operating mode, the AI_M and AI_ T inputs must be connected to only one EVDRIVE05, while only the AI_ T input may be connected to the other EVDRIVE05 devices.
7.5 VALVE OPERATION IN DUTY CYCLE EVDRIVE05 can be used to manage motorised electronic expansion valves which need to run in duty cycle mode, so as to protect that valve from overheating. The configuration parameters are: Par. Description Range P14 Duty cycle.
8.3.1 SH SH regulation can be used to keep the overheating temperature at a selected value. EVDRIVE05 calculates the process overheating using the two analogue inputs AI M (evaporation pressure/temperature sensor) and AI T (intake temperature probe). It uses a PID regulator to modulate the valve opening so that overheating reaches the setpoint R05.
FIG. 13. Operation 8.3.3 Stable SH minimum If the SH value remains stable (within the neutral regulation zone) for a time R20, the EVDRIVE05 reduces the SH setpoint by 0.1 The procedure may be repeated until the SH setpoint reaches value R17.
• If SH is in the Fast Action band, a fast action PID regulator algorithm is used. Normal Smart Neutral Neutral Smart Normal Control Control Band zone zone Band Control Control Valve opening Valve closure FIG. 14. Hot Gas Bypass operation 114EV05E4.00 - EVDRIVE05 | 28 | Regulation | 10/2024...
In SH and Economizer control, the alarm is activated when the MOP bypass time (A19A16) from PID activation has elapsed and: • Evaporation temperature > MOP temperature (A10) • MOP alarm delay elapsed (A12) The alarm resets when: • Evaporation temperature > MOP temperature (A10) + MOP Alarm Hysteresis (A11) 114EV05E4.00 - EVDRIVE05 | 29 | Regulation | 10/2024...
If the LOP alarm occurs during the start-up phase (when the evaporation temperature is effectively low), the algorithm forces valve opening. If the LOP alarm is reset, EVDRIVE05 stops the valve. This phase can be optimised by configuring the valve opening correctly in the start-up parameters (Equalisation position (R14), Equalisation time (R13), Start-up position (R16), Start-up time (R15).
