9CCN/clock board

The control system consists of at least a PD4 basic board, a user interface, a PD4-EXV slave board and, depending on the application, one or more RCPM compressor boards, 4xDO boards or 4xAI-2xAO boards and an NRCP-BASE slave board. Slave boards are connected to the basic board via an internal communication bus (SIO).

The CCN/clock board is connected and screwed to the master basic board. It permits communication with elements of the Carrier Comfort Network via the CCN bus.

 

compressor protection boards, as well as the compressor

 

circuit breakers and contactors.

Fan module (air-cooled unit): Consists of one or two

 

4xDO boards together with the fan circuit breakers and

 

contactors.

3.2 - Electronic boards

3.2.1 - The basic board

It can be used alone or in conjunction with slave boards. It holds the program that controls the machine. It continuously manages the information coming in from the various pressure and temperature sensors, and communicates with the slave boards via the SIO bus. It can also communicate with elements of the Carrier Comfort Network via the CCN bus.

NOTE: After a power cut the unit restarts in the same operating mode as before the power cut.

3.2.2 - Slave boards

Compressor board RCPM: This board is used to control a compressor. Up to eight RCPM boards can be connected to the basic board.

4xDO board: This board can be used to control fan stages.

PD4-EXV board: This board can control two EXV valves and two suction temperature sensors.

4xAI-2xAO board: This optional board can be used to read sensors (oil pressure), or to control variable speed fans (air-cooled units) or the condenser valve (water-cooled units).

NRCP-BASE board: This optional board is used to control the inputs and outputs of the heat reclaim option.
