TOPIC 15 CONTROLLER MONITOR

The controller monitor program displays the activity of the controller data. This program allows the user to view the controller data in real time to enable an overview of the container unit operation to be obtained when trouble shooting. The following screen is displayed when this option is chosen.

The following is a summary of the options available in Controller Monitor program. <S> Sensors - Displays the current value of the controller sensors.

<P> Switches/Protectors - Displays the current value of the container unit internal protectors and switches. <O> Outputs - Displays the current value of the controller outputs.

<M> Misc. - Displays the current setpoint and SMV values.

<U> Update - Allows the user to modify the monitor update interval. The controller data is read every “x” seconds and the screen is updated with the latest data values. The default update interval is 8 seconds. The interval range is 2 to 3600 seconds.

<F> Record Filename - Allows the user the ability to store the controller data into a log file. The log file is compatible with most spreadsheet programs (i.e., MS-Excel and Lotus). Prior to entering the filename, move through the sensors, switches, outputs, misc. menu boxes, and select the controller variables to store in the log file. The variables selected will have a check mark displayed next to them.

After selecting the controller variables, the user will enter a filename which is compatible with the DOS operating system requirements for filenames. The user then enters the updated log file interval. The controller data is read every “x” seconds and the log file is updated with the latest values. This update interval range is 2 to 3600 seconds.

<HOME> Record Now - Allows the user to store the current controller values into the log file. <H> Help - Allows access to the help file.

<ESC> Exit - Allows the user to exit the monitor program and return to the DataView program.

Carrier Container Refrigeration Unit manual Topic 15 Controller Monitor

Container Refrigeration Unit specifications

Carrier Container Refrigeration Units are essential components in the logistics and transportation of temperature-sensitive goods. These specialized refrigeration units ensure that perishable items, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, maintain their required temperature throughout their journey, whether by sea, land, or air.

One of the primary features of Carrier Container Refrigeration Units is their advanced temperature control capability. These units can easily maintain temperature ranges from -30°C to +30°C, ensuring optimal conditions for various products. This flexibility is crucial for transporting diverse cargo, from frozen foods that require strict low-temperature settings to temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals that may need to be kept at a steady room temperature.

Moreover, Carrier units are equipped with cutting-edge technologies aimed at improving efficiency and reliability. The use of electronic controls enhances the precision with which temperatures can be set and maintained. Integrated sensors continuously monitor conditions, allowing for real-time adjustments based on external temperature variations or changes in cargo load.

Carrier's eco-friendly refrigerants further underscore the company's commitment to sustainability. These units often utilize low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants that are less harmful to the environment, aligning with global regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of Carrier Container Refrigeration Units. Many models incorporate high-efficiency compressors and evaporators, resulting in lower energy consumption compared to traditional refrigeration systems. This efficiency not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint, making it an attractive option for environmentally conscious companies.

The design of these refrigeration units prioritizes durability and ease of maintenance. Robust construction materials withstand harsh maritime environments, minimizing the risk of damage during transit. Maintenance-friendly designs ensure that servicing is straightforward and can often be performed with minimal downtime, keeping logistics operations running smoothly.

In summary, Carrier Container Refrigeration Units combine advanced temperature control, energy efficiency, and sustainability with a focus on durability and ease of maintenance. Through innovative technologies and eco-friendly practices, Carrier continues to lead the way in providing reliable refrigeration solutions for the global supply chain, ensuring that temperature-sensitive goods reach their destination safely and efficiently.
