Chapter 4: E2 Controller

4.2.3 Display Variables

The user interface display panel provides screens with three different forms of both the read-only and the modifiable variables:

Numbers are displayed as positive (+) or negative (-) integers.

Dual-State can be toggled between two (2) values, i.e. On/Off, Yes/No.

Word Variables have a unique text message for each of the variable's possible choices.

4.2.4 Cursor Position in Screens

The following display screen is shown as an example after accessing a new menu loop display screen using the function keys. The name of the menu loop is the line in the upper-most field of the screen. A flashing window also appears in the left of the uppermost field, indicating that you're in the top level of that menu loop.

Figure 4-7. Flashing window.

From this position, the Up and Down arrow keys may be used to access additional selections within the current display menu.

Each screen supports a specific functional requirement. Pressing the Enter key allows you access to the selected display screens to adjust any of the modifiable fields. If a screen with modifiable values is accessed, you may use the Enter key to insert a flashing cursor in the modifiable fields within that screen.

Figure 4-8. Flashing cursor.

If the flashing cursor is located in a modifiable field, the value of the field will be changed using the up and down arrow

keys. Press the Enter key to move the cursor to the next modifiable field. After entering the last modifiable field within a

screen, press the Enter key to remove the cursor and the enable the flashing window to reappear in the left-hand corner of the upper-most field of the current screen. To get to the next adjacent menu loop screen, press the up or down arrow key.

Press the Enter key successively to advance the cursor through the various modifiable fields of the display screen, eventually returning to the first field.

Values that are already correct may simply be skipped over by using the Enter key without modification of the variable. The current value, if not changed, will be retained after pressing the Enter key. Values for fields being adjusted will automatically wrap when adjusted beyond the high or low limit established for that field.

Whenever the flashing cursor is located in a modifiable field, press the Escape (Esc) key one time to return the user to the next menu up. Each successive use of the Escape key returns you to the next menu level up until the Main screen is reached.

Black Box CRDX-W-FS-12KW, CRDX-A-FS-24KW, CRDX-G-FS-24KW, CRDX-W-FS-24KW Display Variables, Cursor Position in Screens

CRDX-W-FS-12KW, Black Box Cold Row DX, CRDX-W-FS-24KW, CRDX-A-FS-24KW, CRDX-A-FS-12KW specifications

The Black Box CRDX series consists of high-performance cooling solutions designed to maintain optimal temperature conditions in data centers and server rooms. Key models in this series include the CRDX-W-FS-12KW, CRDX-W-FS-24KW, CRDX-G-FS-12KW, and CRDX-A-FS-24KW. These units are engineered to provide efficient cooling while addressing the rising demands of modern IT infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the CRDX series is its cold row design. This configuration enables targeted cooling delivery directly to the equipment, enhancing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The airflow management in these models ensures that cooled air is directed where it is needed most, minimizing hotspots and maximizing cooling performance.

Both the CRDX-W-FS-12KW and CRDX-W-FS-24KW models utilize advanced refrigerant-based cooling technology. These units are equipped with electronically commutated (EC) fans, which are highly efficient and quieter than traditional fan technologies. This innovation not only lowers operational costs but also creates a more comfortable environment within the data center.

The CRDX-G-FS-12KW model stands out for its hybrid capabilities, offering both chilled water and direct expansion cooling options. This versatility allows facility managers to choose the best cooling approach based on their specific requirements and current infrastructure. The hybrid system can optimize energy consumption and enhance cooling efficiency, contributing to lower operating costs.

Another noteworthy feature across these models is their intelligent controls and monitoring capabilities. Equipped with sophisticated sensors and control systems, operators can gain real-time insights into temperature fluctuations, humidity levels, and unit performance. This data aids in proactive maintenance and ensures that cooling systems are operating at peak efficiency.

The CRDX-A-FS-24KW, on the other hand, is designed with a focus on adaptability and scalability. This model can be integrated easily into existing network setups, making it an excellent choice for facilities that anticipate future growth or need to adapt to changing cooling demands.

Overall, the Black Box CRDX series exemplifies the latest advancements in cooling technology, offering innovative features designed to support high-density computing environments. With their efficient cooling capabilities, intelligent controls, and flexible design options, these models provide reliable solutions for data centers looking to enhance their cooling systems while reducing operating costs.
