1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Models
EVD evolution twin is a controller featuring two drivers for double pole
stepper motors that independently manages two electronic expansion
valves. It is designed for DIN rail assembly and is fitted with plug-in screw
terminals. Each driver controls refrigerant superheat and optimises the
efficiency of the refrigerant circuit, guaranteeing maximum flexibility, being
compatible with various types of refrigerants and valves, in applications with
chillers, air-conditioners and refrigerators, the latter including subcritical and
transcritical CO2 systems. It features low superheat (LowSH), high evaporation
pressure (MOP), and low evaporation pressure (LOP) protection, and can
manage, as an alternative to superheat control, special functions such as
the hot gas bypass, evaporator pressure regulation (EPR) and control of the
valve downstream of the gas cooler in transcritical CO2 circuits. The controller
can drive an electronic expansion valve in a refrigerant circuit with Digital
Scroll compressor, if integrated with a specific CAREL controller via LAN. In
addition, it features adaptive control that can evaluate the effectiveness of
superheat control and if necessary activate one or more tuning procedures.
As regards network connectivity, the controller can be connected to either of
the following:
• a pCO programmable controller to manage the controller via pLAN, tLAN
and RS485/Modbus®;
• a PlantVisorPRO supervisor via RS485/Modbus®. In this case, On/Off control
is performed via digital input 1 for driver A and via digital input 2 for driver
B, if suitably configured. As well as regulation start/stop, digital inputs 1 and
2 can be configured for the following:
- valve regulation optimization after defrost;
- valve forced open (at 100%);
- regulation backup;
- regulation security.
The last two possibilities refer to the behaviour of the driver when there is no
communication over the pLAN or tLAN, RS485/Modbus® network (see chap.
6).
Another possibility involves operation as a simple positioner with 4 to 20 mA
or 0 to 10 Vdc analogue input signal for driver A (inputs S1 and S2 respectively)
and with 4 to 20 mA signal for driver B (input S3). EVD evolution twin comes
with a LED board to indicate the operating status, or a graphic display
(accessory) that can be used to perform installation, following a guided
commissioning procedure involving setting just 4 parameters for each driver:
refrigerant, valve, pressure sensor, type of main control (chiller, showcase, etc.).
The procedure can also be used to check that the sensor and valve motor
wiring is correct. Once installation is complete, the display can be removed,
as it is not necessary for the operation of the controller, or alternatively kept
in place to display the significant system variables, any alarms and when
necessary set the control parameters. The controller can also be setup using
a computer via the service serial port. In this case, the VPM program (Visual
Parameter Manager) needs to be installed, downloadable from http://ksa.
carel.com, and the USB-tLAN converter EVDCNV00E0 connected. Only on
RS485/Modbus® models can installation be managed as described above by
computer, using the serial port (see paragraph 2.9) in place of the service serial
port. The “universal” models can drive all types of valves, while the “CAREL”
models only drive CAREL valves.

1.2 Main functions and features
In summary:
• electrical connections by plug-in screw terminals;
• serial card incorporated in the controller, based on the model (tLAN, pLAN,
RS485/Modbus®);
• compatibility with various types of valves (“universal” models only) and
refrigerants;
• activation/deactivation of control via digital input 1 for driver A and digital
input 2 for driver B, if suitably configured, or remote control via LAN, from
pCO programmable controller;
• superheat control with protection functions for low superheat LowSH,
MOP, LOP;
• adaptive superheat control;
• function to optimise superheat control for air-conditioning units fitted
with Emerson Climate Technologies Digital Scroll compressor. In this case,
EVD Evolution twin must be connected to a CAREL pCO series controllers
running an application program that can manage units with Digital Scroll
compressors. This function is only available on the controllers for CAREL
valves;
• configuration and programming by display (accessory), by computer
using the VPM program or by PlantVisor/PlantVisorPro supervisor and pCO
programmable controller;
• commissioning simplified by display with guided procedure for setting the
parameters and checking the electrical connections;
• multi-language graphic display, with “help” function on various parameters;
• management of different units of measure (metric/imperial);
• parameters protected by password, accessible at a service (installer) and
manufacturer level;
• copy the configuration parameters from one EVD evolution twin controller
to another using the removable display;
• ratiometric or electronic 4 to 20 mA pressure transducer, the latter can be
shared between up to 5 drivers (maximum 2 EVD evolution twins + 1 EVD
Evolution), useful for multiplexed applications;
• 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 Vdc input to use the controller as a positioner
controlled by an external signal;
• management of power failures with valve closing (only for controllers with
24 Vac power supply connected to EVD0000UC0 accessory);
• advanced alarm management.
For software versions higher than 4.0, the following new functions have been
introduced:
• 24 Vac or 24 Vdc power supply, in the latter case without valve closing in
the event of power failures;
• pre-position time settable by parameter;
• use of digital to start/stop control when there is no communication with
the pCO programmable controller.

ENG
USB/RS485 converter (code CVSTDUMOR0)
Starting from software revision 5.0 and higher, new functions have been
introduced:
• management of new refrigerants;
• valve position in standby settable by parameter;
• operation as EVD Evolution with single driver: the driver controls one
expansion valve only (valve A), however it acquires new functions available
using probes S3 and S4:
1. electronic valve control in a refrigerant circuit with BLDC compressor,
controlled by CAREL Power+ speed driver (with inverter);
2. superheat control with two temperature probes;
3. auxiliary control functions:
- backup probes S3 and S4;
- subcooling measurement;
- high condensing temperature protection (HiTcond);
- modulating thermostat;
- subcooling measurement;
- reverse high condensing temperature protection;
- possibility to manage CO2 (R744) cascade systems, setting the
refrigerant for the primary and secondary circuit.
The converter is used to connect the configuration computer and the EVD
evolution twin controllers, for RS485/Modbus ® models only.
Fig. 1.c
Ultracap module (P/N EVD0000UC0)
The module, mounted on DIN rail, guarantees temporary power to the
driver in the event of power failures, for enough time to immediately close
the connected electronic valves (one or two). It avoids the need to install a
solenoid valve. The module is made using Ultracap storage capacitors, which
ensure reliability in terms of much longer component life than a module
made with lead batteries. In just 4 minutes the module is ready to power two
Carel valves again (or 5 minutes for pairs or other brand valves).
New functions have been introduced with software revision 5.4 and higher:
• programmable control, both superheat and special, and programmable
positioner: these functions exploit CAREL’s technology and know-how in
terms of control logic;
• custom refrigerant selection;
• control with level sensor for flooded evaporator;
• control with level sensor for flooded condenser.
From the software revision following the 7.2-7.3 new features have been
introduced, including:
• battery charge delay;
• external signal 0 ... 5 V (for programmable positioner).
Series of accessories for EVD evolution twin
Display (code EVDIS00**0)
Easily applicable and removable at any time from the front panel of the
controller, during normal operation displays all the significant variables for
system A and B, the status of the relay outputs and recognises the activation
of the protection functions and alarms. During commissioning, it guides the
installer in setting the parameters required to start the installations and, once
completed, can copy the parameters to other EVD evolution twin controllers.
The models differ in the first settable language, the second language for
all models is English. EVDIS00**0 can be used to configure and monitor all
the control parameters for both drivers, accessible via password at a service
(installer) and manufacturer level.

USB/tLAN converter (code EVDCNV00E0)
Float level sensor (P/N LSR0013000)
The USB-tLAN converter is connected, once the LED board cover has been
removed, to the service serial port underneath. Fitted with cables and
connectors, it can connect EVD evolution twin directly to a computer, which,
using the VPM program, can configure and program the controller. VPM can
also be used to update the controller and display firmware. See the appendix.
The level sensor measures the quantity of refrigerant in the heat exchanger.
This is used when controlling the valve based on the liquid level in the flooded
evaporator or condenser. Available with threaded or flanged connector.

Important: When connecting the controller, the following warnings
must be observed:
• if the controller is not used as specified in this user manual, the protection
indicated is not guaranteed;
• incorrect connection to the power supply may seriously damage the
controller;
• use cable ends suitable for the corresponding terminals. Loosen each
screw and insert the cable ends, then tighten the screws and lightly tug
the cables to check correct tightness;
• separate as much as possible (at least 3 cm) the probe and digital
input cables from the power cables to the loads so as to avoid possible
electromagnetic disturbance. Never lay power cables and probe cables in
the same conduits (including those in the electrical panels;
• install the shielded valve motor cables in the probe conduits: use shielded
valve motor cables to avoid electromagnetic disturbance to the probe
cables;
• avoid installing the probe cables in the immediate vicinity of power devices
(contactors, circuit breakers, etc.). Reduce the path of the probe cables as
much as possible and avoid enclosing power devices;
• avoid powering the controller directly from the main power supply in the
panel if this supplies different devices, such as contactors, solenoid valves,
etc., which will require a separate transformer.
• * EVD EVO is a control to be incorporated in the end equipment, do not
use for flush mount
• * DIN VDE 0100: Protective separation between SELV circuit and other
circuits must be guaranteed. The requirements according to DIN VDE 0100
must be fulfilled. To prevent infringement of the protective separation
(between SELV circuit to other circuits) an additional fixing has to be
provided near to the terminals. This additional fixing shall clamp the
insulation and not the conductor”.

Important: avoid installing the controller in environments with the
following characteristics:
• relative humidity greater than the 90% or condensing;
• strong vibrations or knocks;
• exposure to continuous water sprays;
• exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres (e.g.: sulphur and
ammonia fumes, saline mist, smoke) to avoid corrosion and/or oxidation;
• strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (avoid installing the
appliances near transmitting antennae);
• exposure of the controller to direct sunlight and to the elements in general.

For installation proceed as follows, with reference to the wiring diagrams:
1. connect the probes: the probes can be installed a maximum distance of
10 metres away from the driver, or a maximum of 30 metres as long as
shielded cables with a minimum cross-section of 1 mm² are used;
2. connect any digital inputs, maximum length 30 m;
3. connect the power cable to the valve motors: use 4-wire shielded cable
AWG 22 Lmax=10 m or AWG 14 Lmax=50m; failure to connect the valve
motors after connecting the controller will generate the “EEV motor error”
alarm: see paragraph 9.5;
4. carefully evaluate the maximum capacity of the relay outputs specified in
the chapter “Technical specifications”;
5. if necessary, use a class 2 safety transformer with suitable short-circuit
and overload protection. For the power ratings of the transformer see the
general connection diagram and the technical specifications;
6. the connection cables must have a minimum cross-section of 0.5 mm2;
7. power up the controller: for 24 Vdc power supply the controller will close
the valves;

EVD evolution twin can control two CAREL valves connected together (see
paragraph 4.2), in parallel mode, with identical behaviour, or in complementary
mode, whereby if one valve opens, the other closes by the same percentage.
To achieve such behaviour, simply set the “valve” parameter (“Two EXV
connected together”) and connect the valve motor power supply wires to
the same connector. In the example shown below, for operation of valve B_2
with valve B_1 in complementary mode simply swap the connection of wires
1 and 3.

4. COMMISSIONING
4.2 Setting the pLAN network address
Important: if the refrigerant is not available among the refrigerant
parameter options, contact CAREL service to:
1. confirm that the system: pCO controller + CAREL electronic expansion
valve is compatible with the desired refrigerant (custom);
2. identify the values that define the custom refrigerant: “Dew a…f high/
low” and “Bubble a…f high/low”. See the parameter table.
The pLAN addresses of the devices in the network must be assigned according
to the following rule:
1. the EVD Evolution driver addresses must be assigned in increasing order
from left to right, starting with the controllers (A),
2. then the drivers (B) and finally
3. the terminals (C).
4.1 Commissioning
ADDR = 31
Once the electrical connections have been completed (see the chapter
on installation) and the power supply has been connected, the operations
required for commissioning the controller depend on the type of interface
used, however essentially involve setting just 4 parameters: refrigerant, valve,
type of pressure probe (S1 for driver A and S3 for driver B) and type of main
control. The network address for EVD evolution twin is single.
Types of interfaces:
• DISPLAY: after having correctly configured the setup parameters,
confirmation will be requested. Only after confirmation will the controller
be enabled for operation, the main screen will be shown on the display and
control will be able to commence when requested by the pCO controller
via LAN or when digital input DI1 closes for driver A and DI2 for driver B.
See paragraph 4.2;
• VPM: to enable control of the drivers via VPM, set “Enable EVD
control” to 1; this is included in the safety parameters, in the special
parameters menu, under the corresponding access level. However,
the setup parameters should first be set in the related menu.
The drivers will then be enabled for operation and control will be able to
commence when requested by the pCO controller via LAN or when digital
input DI1/DI2 closes. If due to error or for any other reason “Enable EVD
control” should be set to 0 (zero), the controller will immediately stop
control and will remain in standby until re-enabled, with the valve stopped
in the last position;
• SUPERVISOR: to simplify the commissioning of a considerable number of
controllers using the supervisor, the setup operation on the display can
be limited to simply setting the network address. The display will then
be able to be removed and the configuration procedure postponed to a
later stage using the supervisor or, if necessary, reconnecting the display.
To enable control of the controller via supervisor, set “Enable EVD control”;
this is included in the safety parameters, in the special parameters menu,
under the corresponding access level. However, the setup parameters
should first be set in the related menu. The controller will then be enabled
for operation and control will be able to commence when requested by
the pCO controller via pLAN or when digital input DI1 closes for driver A
and DI2 for driver B. As highlighted on the supervisor, inside of the yellow
information field relating to the “Enable EVD control” parameter, if due to
error or for any other reason “Enable EVD control” should be set to 0 (zero),
the controller will immediately stop control and will remain in standby until
re-enabled, with the valve stopped in the last position;
• pCO PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER: the first operation to be
performed, if necessary, is to set the network address using the display.

If a pLAN, tLAN or RS485/Modbus® controller is used, connected to a
pCO family controller, the setup parameters will not need to be set and
confirmed. In fact, the application running on the pCO will manage the
correct values based on the unit controlled. Consequently, simply set the
pLAN, tLAN or RS485/Modbus® address for the controller as required by
the application on the pCO, and after a few seconds communication will
commence between the two instruments and the controller automatically
be enabled for control. The main screen will shown on the display, which
can then be removed, and control will be commence when requested
by the pCO controller or digital input DI1 for driver A and DI2 for driver B.
(see paragraph 6.3). If there is no communication between the pCO and
the controller (see the paragraph “LAN error alarm”), this will be able to
continue control based on the status of the digital inputs.

Valve
Setting the type of valve automatically defines all the control parameters based
on the manufacturer’s data for each model. In Manufacturer programming
mode, the control parameters can then be fully customised if the valve used is
not in the standard list. In this case, the controller will detect the modification
and indicate the type of valve as “Customised”.
Important: if two pressure probes S1 and S3 are installed, these must
be the same type. A ratiometric probe and an electronic probe cannot be
used together.
Note: in the case of multiplexed systems where the same pressure
probe is shared between the twin1 and twin2 controllers, choose the normal
option for driver A and the “remote” option for the remaining drivers.
Example: to use the same pressure probe P1 for driver A and B: 4 to 20 mA,
-0.5 to 7 barg
For driver A on the twin 1 controller select: 4 to 20 mA, -0.5 to 7 barg.
For driver B on the twin 1 controller and for driver A and B on the twin 2

the manufacturer menu, the parameters corresponding to the range of
measurement and the alarms can be customised if the probe used is not
in the standard list. If modifying the range of measurement, the controller
will detect the modification and indicate the type of probe S1 or S3 as
“Customised”;
the software on the controller takes into consideration the unit of measure.
If a range of measurement is selected and then the unit of measure is
changed (from bars to psi), the controller automatically updates the limits
of the range of measurement and the alarm limits. By default, the main
control probes S2 and S4 are set as “CAREL NTC”. Other types of probes can
be selected in the service menu;
unlike the pressure probes, the temperature probes do not have any
modifiable parameters relating to the range of measurement, and
consequently only the models indicated in the list can be used (see
the chapter on “Functions” and the list of parameters). In any case, in
manufacturer programming mode, the limits for the probe alarm signal
can be customised.

The superheat set point and all the parameters corresponding to PID control,
the operation of the protectors and the meaning and use of probes S1/S3
and/or S2/S4 will be automatically set to the values recommended by CAREL
based on the selected application.
During this initial configuration phase, only superheat control mode from 1
to 10 can be set, which differ based on the application (chiller, refrigerated
cabinet, etc.).
In the event of errors in the initial configuration, these parameters can later be
accessed and modified inside the service or manufacturer menu.
If the controller default parameters are restored (RESET procedure, see the
chapter on Installation), when next started the display will again show the
guided commissioning procedure.
4.4 Checks after commissioning
After commissioning:
• check that the valves complete a full closing cycle to perform alignment;
• set, if necessary, in Service or Manufacturer programming mode, the
superheat set point (otherwise keep the value recommended by CAREL
based on the application) and the protection thresholds (LOP, MOP, etc.).
See the chapter on Protectors.
4.5 Other functions
By entering Service programming mode, other types of main control can be
selected (transcritical CO2, hot gas bypass, etc.), as well as so-called special
control functions, and suitable values set for the control set point and the
LowSH, LOP and MOP protection thresholds (see the chapter on “Protectors”),
which depend on the specific characteristics of the unit controlled.
By entering Manufacturer programming mode, finally, the operation of
the controller can be completely customised, setting the function of each
parameter. If the parameters corresponding to PID control are modified,
the controller will detect the modification and indicate the main control as
“Customised.

5. CONTROL
5.1 Main control
Superheat control
The parameter that the control of the electronic valve is based on is the
superheat temperature, which effectively tells whether or not there is liquid
at the end of the evaporator. EVD Evolution twin can independently manage
superheat control on two refrigerant circuits. The superheat temperature
is calculated as the difference between: superheated gas temperature
(measured by a temperature probe located at the end of the evaporator) and
the saturated evaporation temperature (calculated based on the reading of a
pressure transducer located at the end of the evaporator and using the Tsat(P)
conversion curve for each refrigerant).
EVD evolution twin features two types of control, which can be set
independently for driver A and B. Main control defines the operating mode
of the driver. The first 10 settings refer to superheat control, the others are socalled “special” settings and are pressure or temperature settings or depend
on a control signal from an external controller. The last special functions (18,
19, 20) also relate to superheat control, but they can be selectable if EVD
Evolution TWIN is working as single driver (see Appendix 2). Programmable
control exploits CAREL’s technology and know-how in terms of control
logic. Finally, it is possible to control liquid level in applications with flooded
evaporator/condenser.

Tab. 5.a
If the superheat temperature is high it means that the evaporation process is
completed well before the end of the evaporator, and therefore flow-rate of
refrigerant through the valve is insufficient. This causes a reduction in cooling
efficiency due to the failure to exploit part of the evaporator. The valve must
therefore be opened further. Vice-versa, if the superheat temperature is low
it means that the evaporation process has not concluded at the end of the
evaporator and a certain quantity of liquid will still be present at the inlet to
the compressor. The valve must therefore be closed further. The operating
range of the superheat temperature is limited at the lower end: if the flowrate through the valve is excessive the superheat measured will be near 0 K.
This indicates the presence of liquid, even if the percentage of this relative to
the gas cannot be quantified. There is therefore un undetermined risk to the
compressor that must be avoided. Moreover, a high superheat temperature
as mentioned corresponds to an insufficient flow-rate of refrigerant. The
superheat temperature must therefore always be greater than 0 K and have
a minimum stable value allowed by the valve-unit system. A low superheat
temperature in fact corresponds to a situation of probable instability due to
the turbulent evaporation process approaching the measurement point of
the probes. The expansion valve must therefore be controlled with extreme
precision and a reaction capacity around the superheat set point, which will
almost always vary from 3 to 14 K. Set point values outside of this range are
quite infrequent and relate to special applications.

The primary purpose of the electronic valve is ensure that the flow-rate of
refrigerant that flows through the nozzle corresponds to the flow-rate required
by the compressor. In this way, the evaporation process will take place along
the entire length of the evaporator and there will be no liquid at the outlet and
consequently in the branch that runs to the compressor.
As liquid is not compressible, it may cause damage to the compressor and even
breakage if the quantity is considerable and the situation lasts some time.

PID parameters
Superheat control, as for any other mode that can be selected with the “main
control” parameter, is performed using PID control, which in its simplest form
is defined by the law:
Nota: in this example only one electronic pressure transducer
with 4 to 20 mA output (SPK**0000) can be used, shared between
driver A and B.
Ratiometric transducers cannot be shared.

Note that control is calculated as the sum of three separate contributions:
proportional, integral and derivative.
• the proportional action opens or closes the valve proportionally to the
variation in the superheat temperature. Thus the greater the K (proportional
gain) the higher the response speed of the valve. The proportional action
does not consider the superheat set point, but rather only reacts to
variations. Therefore if the superheat value does not vary significantly, the
valve will essentially remain stationary and the set point cannot be reached;
• the integral action is linked to time and moves the valve in proportion to
the deviation of the superheat value from the set point. The greater the
deviations, the more intense the integral action; in addition, the lower
the value of T (integral time), the more intense the action will be. The
integration time, in summary, represents the intensity of the reaction of the
valve, especially when the superheat value is not near the set point;
• the derivative action is linked to the speed of variation of the superheat value,
that is, the gradient at which the superheat changes from instant to instant.
It tends to react to any sudden variations, bringing forward the corrective
action, and its intensity depends on the value of the time T (derivative time).

Given the highly variable dynamics of superheat control on different units,
applications and valves, the theories on stability that adaptive control and
autotuning are based on are not always definitive. As a consequence, the
following procedure is suggested, in which each successive step is performed
if the previous has not given a positive outcome:
1. use the parameters recommended by CAREL to control the different
units based on the values available for the “Main control” parameter;
2. use any parameters tested and calibrated manually based on laboratory
or field experiences with the unit in question;
3. enable automatic adaptive control;
4. activate one or more manual autotuning procedures with the unit in
stable operating conditions if adaptive control generates the “Adaptive
control ineffective” alarm.

control, set the parameter:

With adaptive control enabled, the controller constantly evaluates whether
control is sufficiently stable and reactive; otherwise the procedure for
optimising the PID parameters is activated. The activation status of the
optimisation function is indicated on the standard display by the message
“TUN” at the top right.
The PID parameter optimisation phase involves several operations on the
valve and readings of the control variables so as to calculate and validate
the PID parameters. These procedures are repeated to fine-tune superheat
control as much as possible, over a maximum of 12 hours.

EVD evolution TWIN features two functions used to automatically optimise
the PID parameters for superheat control, useful in applications where there
are frequent variations in thermal load:
1. automatic adaptive control: the function continuously evaluates the
effectiveness of superheat control and activates one or more optimisation
procedures accordingly;
2. manual autotuning: this is activated by the user and involves just one
optimisation procedure.
Both procedures give new values to the PID superheat control and protection
function parameters:
- PID: proportional gain;
- PID: integral time;
- PID: derivative time;
- LowSH: low superheat integral time;
- LOP: low evaporation temperature integral time;
- MOP: high evaporation temperature integral time.

of the protectors. If these are activated, the procedure is interrupted;
if all the attempts performed over 12 hours are unsuccessful, the “adaptive

parameters;
to deactivate the “adaptive control ineffective” alarm set the value of the

control can be immediately re-enabled using the same parameter. If the
procedure ends successfully, the resulting control parameters will be

EPR back pressure
This type of control can be used in applications in which a constant pressure
is required in the refrigerant circuit. For example, a refrigeration system may
include different showcases that operate at different temperatures (showcases
for frozen foods, meat or dairy). The different temperatures of the circuits are
achieved using pressure regulators installed in series with each circuit. The
special EPR function (Evaporator Pressure Regulator) is used to set a pressure
set point and the PID control parameters required to achieve this.
Tuning method is visible as a parameter in the Special category, the two other
parameters are visible in display mode. See paragraph 3.4.

Digital Scroll compressors allow wide modulation of cooling capacity by
using a solenoid valve to active a patented refrigerant bypass mechanism.
This operation nonetheless causes swings in the pressure of the unit, which
may be amplified by normal control of the expansion valve, leading to
malfunctions. Dedicated control ensures greater stability and efficiency of the
entire unit by controlling the valve and limiting swings based on the instant
compressor modulation status. To be able to use this mode, the LAN version
driver must be connected to a Carel pCO series controller running a special
application to manage units with Digital scroll compressors.

Another application that exploits this control function uses the connection
of two EXV valves together to simulate the effect of a three-way valve, called
“reheating”. To control humidity, valve EVB_2 is opened to let the refrigerant
flow into exchanger S. At the same time, the air that flows through evaporator
E is cooled and the excess humidity removed, yet the temperature is below
the set room temperature. It then flows through exchanger S, which heats it
back to the set point (reheating). In addition, if dehumidification needs to be
increased, with less cooling, valve EVA_2 must open to bypass at least some
of the refrigerant to condenser C. The refrigerant that reaches the evaporator
thus has less cooling capacity. Valves EVA_1 and EVA_2 are also connected
together in complementary mode, controlled by the 4 to 20 mA signal on
input S1, from an external regulator.

This involves PID control without any protectors (LowSH, LOP, MOP, see the
chapter on Protectors), without any valve unblock procedure. Control is
performed on the gas cooler pressure probe value read by input S1, with
a set point depending on the gas cooler temperature read by input S2;
consequently there is not a set point parameter, but rather a formula: “CO2 gas
cooler pressure set point” = Coefficient A * Tgas cooler (S2) + Coefficient B. The
set point calculated will be a variable that is visible in display mode. Control is
direct, as the pressure increases, the valve opens.
For the wiring, see paragraph “General connection diagram”.
Transcritical CO2 gas cooler
This solution for the use of CO2 in refrigerating systems with a transcritical
cycle involves using a gas cooler, that is a refrigerant/air heat exchanger
resistant to high pressures, in place of the condenser.
In transcritical operating conditions, for a certain gas cooler outlet temperature,
there is pressure that optimises the efficiency of the system:

Valve B will be positioned linearly depending on the value of the “4 to 20 mA

There is no PID control nor any protection (LowSH, LOP, MOP, see the chapter

Forced closing will only occur when digital input DI1 opens for driver A or

This control function is only available for driver A. The valve will be positioned
linearly depending on the value of the “0 to 10 V input for analogue valve
positioning” read by input S2.
There is no PID control nor any protection (LowSH, LOP, MOP), and no valve
unblock procedure. The opening of digital input DI1 stops control on driver
A, with corresponding forced closing of the valve and changeover to standby
status.

5.7 Control with refrigerant level sensor
Note: if several inputs are associated with the same logical meaning,
EVD Evolution considers the one associated with the input that has the
highest index.
In the flooded shell and tube evaporator and in the flooded condenser, the
refrigerant vaporises outside of the tubes, which are immersed in the liquid
refrigerant. The hot fluid flowing through the tubes is cooled, transferring heat
to the refrigerant surrounding the tubes, so that this boils, with gas exiting
from the top, which is taken in by the compressor.

If needing to be calibrate:
• the pressure probe, S1 and/or S3, the offset parameter can be used, which
represents a constant that is added to the signal across the entire range of
measurement, and can be expressed in barg/psig. If the 4 to 20 mA signal
coming from an external controller on input S1 and/or S3needs to be
calibrated, both the offset and the gain parameters can be used, the latter
which modifies the gradient of the line in the field from 4 to 20 mA.
• the temperature probe, S2 and/or S4, the offset parameter can be used,
which represents a constant that is added to the signal across the entire
range of measurement, and can be expressed in °C/°F. If the 0 to 10
Vdc signal coming from an external controller on input S2 needs to be
calibrated, both the offset and the gain parameters can be used, the latter
which modifies the gradient of the line in the field from 0 to 10 Vdc.

Battery charge delay to allow battery charging. In the presence of a battery to
close the valve, to avoid missing emergency closing in case of repeated and
close blackouts, a regulation start delay has been introduced, configurable by
the user depending on the backup system used (ultracap or lead battery). This
delay, if set to a value> 0, occurs every time the driver is turned on to allow

Discharged battery alarm management: this setting can only be selected if
the controller power supply is 24 Vac. If the selected digital input is connected
to the battery charge module for EVD evolution, EVBAT00400, the controller

Valve forced open: when the digital input closes, the valve opens completely
Examples
(100%), unconditionally. When the contact opens again the valve closes and
moves to the position defined by the parameter “valve opening at start-up” for
the pre-position time. Control can then start.
Example 1: assuming an EVD Evolution twin controller connected to the LAN.
In this case, the start/stop control will come from the network.
The two digital inputs can be configured for:
1. valve regulation optimization after defrost (SEC function);
2. regulation backup (PRIM function).
With reference to the previous table:
• in case 2, when there is no communication both driver A and driver B will
be enabled for control by digital input 1, and digital input 2 will determine
when control stops to run the defrost for driver A only;
• in case 3 when there is no communication digital input 2 will activate
control for both driver A and driver B. Digital input 1 will determine when
control stops to run the defrost for driver B only.
Regulation start/stop:
digital input closed: control active;
digital input open: driver in standby (see the paragraph “Control status”);
Important: this setting excludes activation/deactivation of control via
the network. See the following functions.
Regulation backup: if there is a network connection and communication
fails, the driver checks the status of the digital input to determine whether
control is active or in standby;
Example 2: assuming an EVD Evolution twin controller in stand-alone
operation. In this case, the start/stop control will come from the digital input.
The following cases are possible:
1. start / stop driver A/B from inputs DI1/DI2 (case 1);
2. simultaneous start / stop of both drivers A/B from input DI1 (case 2); input
DI2 can be used for discharged battery alarm management.
Regulation security: if there is a network connection, before control
is activated the driver must receive the control activation signal and the
selected digital input must be closed. If the digital input is open, the driver
always remains in standby.
Priority of digital inputs
Relay outputs
In certain cases the setting of digital inputs 1 and 2 may be incompatible
(e.g. no regulation start/stop). The problem thus arises to determine which
function each driver needs to perform.
The relay outputs can be configured as:
• alarm relay output. See the chapter on Alarms;
• solenoid valve control;
• electronic expansion valve status signal relay. The relay contact is only open
if the valve is closed (opening=0%). As soon as control starts (opening >0%,
with hysteresis), the relay contact is closed
Consequently, each type of function is assigned a priority, primary (PRIM) or
secondary (SEC), as shown in the table:

6.5 Control status
(*) The formula used is:
The electronic valve controller has 8 different types of control status, each of
which may correspond to a specific phase in the operation of the refrigeration
unit and a certain status of the controller-valve system.
The status may be as follows:
• forced closing: initialisation of the valve position when switching the
instrument on;
• standby: no temperature control, unit OFF;
• wait: opening of the valve before starting control, also called prepositioning, when powering the unit and in the delay after defrosting;
• control: effective control of the electronic valve, unit ON;
• positioning: step-change in the valve position, corresponding to the start
of control when the cooling capacity of the controlled unit varies (only for
LAN EVD connected to a pCO);
• stop: end of control with the closing of the valve, corresponds to the end
of temperature control of the refrigeration unit, unit OFF;
• valve motor error recognition: see paragraph 9.5;
• tuning in progress: see paragraph 5.3

(**) In this case, the formula used is:
Apertura / Opening = P*(Max_step_EEV / 100)
P = Posizione valvola in stand-by / Position valve in stand-by
Forced closing
Forced closing is performed after the controller is powered-up and
corresponds to a number of closing steps equal to the parameter “Closing
steps”, based on the type valve selected. This is used to realign the valve to
the physical position corresponding to completely closed. The driver and the
valve are then ready for control and both aligned at 0 (zero). On power-up, first
a forced closing is performed, and then the standby phase starts.

These two parameters determine the position of the valve in standby based
on the minimum and maximum number of valve steps.
Parameter/description
VALVE
Minimum EEV steps

Max.
The valve opening parameter should be set based on the ratio between the
rated cooling capacity of the evaporator and the valve (e.g. rated evaporator
cooling capacity: 3kW, rated valve cooling capacity: 10kW, valve opening =
3/10 = 33%).
Standby corresponds to a situation of rest in which no signals are received to
control the electronic valve. This normally occurs when:
• the refrigeration unit stops operating, either when switched off manually
(e.g. from the button, supervisor) or when reaching the control set point;
• during defrosts, except for those performed by reversing of the cycle (or

In general, it can be said that electronic valve control is in standby when the
compressor stops or the control solenoid valve closes. The valve is closed or
open according to the setting of “Valve open in standby”. The percentage of
opening is set using “Valve position in standby”.
In this phase, manual positioning can be activated.

The valve is closed in the event of power failures with 24 Vac power supply
when the EVD0000UC0 module is connected. In this case, the parameter
“Forced valve closing not completed”, visible only on the supervisor, is forced
to 1. If when restarting forced closing of the valve was not successful:
1. the Master programmable controller checks the value of the parameter
and if this is equal to 1, decides the best strategy to implement based on
the application;
2. EVD Evolution twin does not make any decision and positions the valve as
explained in the paragraph “Pre-positioning/start control”. The parameter
is reset to 0 (zero) by the Master controller (e.g. pCO). EVD Evolution
twin resets the parameter to 0 (zero) only if forced emergency closing is
completed successfully

if there are problems with liquid return after the refrigeration unit starts or
in units that frequently switch on-off, the valve opening at start-up must be
decreased. If there are problems with low pressure after the refrigeration
unit starts, the valve opening must be increased.
Wait
When the calculated position has been reached, regardless of the time taken
(this varies according to the type of valve and the objective position), there
is a constant 5 second delay before the actual control phase starts. This is to
create a reasonable interval between standby, in which the variables have no
meaning, as there is no flow of refrigerant, and the effective control phase.

Control
The control request for each driver can be received, respectively, by the closing
of digital input 1 or 2, via the network (LAN). The solenoid or the compressor
are activated when the valve, following the pre-positioning procedure, has
reached the calculated position. The following figure represents the sequence
of events for starting control of the refrigeration unit.

Control delay after defrost
NP
Some types of refrigerating cabinets have problems controlling the electronic
valve in the operating phase after a defrost. In this period (10 to 20 min
after defrosting), the superheat measurement may be altered by the high
temperature of the copper pipes and the air, causing excessive opening of
the electronic valve for extended periods, in which there is return of liquid to
the compressors that is not detected by the probes connected to the driver.
In addition, the accumulation of refrigerant in the evaporator in this phase
is difficult to dissipate in a short time, even after the probes have started to
correctly measure the presence of liquid (superheat value low or null).
The driver can receive information on the defrost phase in progress, via the
digital input. The “Start delay after defrost” parameter is used to set a delay
when control resumes so as to overcome this problem. During this delay,
the valve will remain in the pre-positioning point, while all the normal probe
alarm procedures, etc. are managed.

6.6 Special control status
Positioning (change cooling capacity)
As well as normal control status, the driver can have 3 special types of status
related to specific functions:
• manual positioning: this is used to interrupt control so as to move the
valve, setting the desired position;
• recover physical valve position: recover physical valve steps when fully
opened or closed;
• unblock valve: forced valve movement if the driver considers it to be
blocked.
This control status is only valid for the pLAN controller.
If there is a change in unit cooling capacity of at least 10%, sent from the pCO
via the pLAN, the valve is positioned proportionally. In practice, this involves
repositioning starting from the current position in proportion to how much
the cooling capacity of the unit has increased or decreased in percentage
terms. When the calculated position has been reached, regardless of the time
taken (this varies according to the type of valve and the position), there is a
constant 5 second delay before the actual control phase starts.
Note: if information is not available on the variation in unit cooling
capacity, this will always be considered as operating at 100% and therefore
the procedure will never be used. In this case, the PID control must be
more reactive (see the chapter on Control) so as to react promptly to
variations in load that are not communicated to the driver.

Manual positioning
Unblock valve
Manual positioning can be activated at any time during the standby or control
phase. Manual positioning, once enabled, is used to freely set the position of
the valve using the corresponding parameter.
This procedure is only valid when the driver is performing superheat control.
Unblock valve is an automatic safety procedure that attempts to unblock a
valve that is supposedly blocked based on the control variables (superheat,
valve position). The unblock procedure may or may not succeed depending
on the extent of the mechanical problem with the valve. If for 10 minutes the
conditions are such as to assume the valve is blocked, the procedure is run a
maximum of 5 times. The symptoms of a blocked valve doe not necessarily
mean a mechanical blockage. They may also represent other situations:
• mechanical blockage of the solenoid valve upstream of the electronic valve
(if installed);
• electrical damage to the solenoid valve upstream of the electronic valve;
• blockage of the filter upstream of the electronic valve (if installed);
• electrical problems with the electronic valve motor;
• electrical problems in the driver-valve connection cables;
• incorrect driver-valve electrical connection;
• electronic problems with the valve control driver;
• secondary fluid evaporator fan/pump malfunction;
• insufficient refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit;
• refrigerant leaks;
• lack of subcooling in the condenser;
• electrical/mechanical problems with the compressor;
• processing residues or moisture in the refrigerant circuit.

Control is placed on hold, all the system and control alarms are enabled,
however neither control nor the protectors can be activated. Manual
positioning thus has priority over any status/protection of the driver.
When the driver is connected to the network (for example to a pCO controller),
in presence of an communication-error (LAN error), manual positioning can
be inhibited temporarily by the parameter and the driver recognizes the start/
stop regulation, depending on the configuration of the digital inputs.

• the manual positioning status is NOT saved when restarting after a power

This procedure is necessary as the stepper motor intrinsically tends to lose
steps during movement. Given that the control phase may last continuously
for several hours, it is probable that from a certain time on the estimated
position sent by the valve controller does not correspond exactly to the
physical position of the movable element. This means that when the driver
reaches the estimated fully closed or fully open position, the valve may
physically not be in that position. The “Synchronisation” procedure allows the
driver to perform a certain number of steps in the suitable direction to realign
the valve when fully opened or closed.
Note:
• realignment is in intrinsic part of the forced closing procedure and is
activated whenever the driver is stopped/started and in the standby phase;
• the possibility to enable or disable the synchronisation procedure depends
on the mechanics of the valve. When the setting the “valve” parameter, the
two synchronisation parameters are automatically defined. The default
values should not be changed.

7. PROTECTORS
When the superheat value falls below the threshold, the system enters low
superheat status, and the intensity with which the valve is closed is increased:
the more the superheat falls below the threshold, the more intensely the valve
will close. The LowSH threshold, must be less than or equal to the superheat
set point. The low superheat integration time indicates the intensity of the
action: the lower the value, the more intense the action.
Note: the HiTcond and reverse HiTcond protectors can be activated
if EVD Evolution twin works as a single driver (see Appendix 2) or if
programmable control is activated (see chap. on Control).
These are additional functions that are activated in specific situations that are
potentially dangerous for the unit being controlled. They feature an integral
action, that is, the action increases gradually when moving away from the
activation threshold. They may add to or overlap (disabling) normal PID
superheat control. By separating the management of these functions from PID
control, the parameters can be set separately, allowing, for example, normal
control that is less reactive yet much faster in responding when exceeding the
activation limits of one of the protectors.
The integral time is set automatically based on the type of main control.

LOP= Low Operating Pressure
The LOP protection threshold is applied as a saturated evaporation
temperature value so that it can be easily compared against the technical
specifications supplied by the manufacturers of the compressors. The
protector is activated so as to prevent too low evaporation temperatures from
stopping the compressor due to the activation of the low pressure switch.
The protector is very useful in units with compressors on board (especially
multi-stage), where when starting or increasing capacity the evaporation
temperature tends to drop suddenly.
When the evaporation temperature falls below the low evaporation
temperature threshold, the system enters LOP status and is the intensity
with which the valve is opened is increased. The further the temperature falls
below the threshold, the more intensely the valve will open. The integral time
indicates the intensity of the action: the lower the value, the more intense
the action.
Each protector is affected by the proportional gain parameter (K) for the PID
superheat control. The higher the value of K, the more intense the reaction of
the protector will be.

When the evaporation temperature rises above the MOP threshold, the system
enters MOP status, superheat control is interrupted to allow the pressure to
be controlled, and the valve closes slowly, trying to limit the evaporation
temperature. As the action is integral, it depends directly on the difference
between the evaporation temperature and the activation threshold. The more
the evaporation temperature increases with reference to the MOP threshold,
the more intensely the valve will close. The integral time indicates the intensity
of the action: the lower the value, the more intense the action.
Note:
• the LOP threshold must be lower then the rated evaporation temperature
of the unit, otherwise it would be activated unnecessarily, and greater than
the calibration of the low pressure switch, otherwise it would be useless. As
an initial approximation it can be set to a value exactly half-way between
the two limits indicated;
• the protector has no purpose in multiplexed systems (showcases) where
the evaporation is kept constant and the status of the individual electronic
valve does not affect the pressure value;
• the LOP alarm can be used as an alarm to highlight refrigerant leaks by
the circuit. A refrigerant leak in fact causes an abnormal lowering of the
evaporation temperature that is proportional, in terms of speed and extent,
to the amount of refrigerant dispersed.

Important: the MOP threshold must be greater than the rated

the compressor. It is usually between 10°C and 15 °C.
Time
MOP (high evaporation pressure)
If the closing of the valve also causes an excessive increase in the suction
temperature (S2) above the set threshold – only set via supervisor (PlantVisor,
pCO, VPM), not on the display - the valve will be stopped to prevent
overheating the compressor windings, awaiting a reduction in the refrigerant
charge. If the MOP protection function is disabled by setting the integral time
to zero, the maximum suction temperature control is also deactivated.
MOP= Maximum Operating Pressure.
The MOP protection threshold is applied as a saturated evaporation
temperature value so that it can be easily compared against the technical
specifications supplied by the manufacturers of the compressors. The
protector is activated so as to prevent too high evaporation temperatures
from causing an excessive workload for the compressor, with consequent
overheating of the motor and possible activation of the thermal protector.
The protector is very useful in units with compressor on board if starting with
a high refrigerant charge or when there are sudden variations in the load.
The protector is also useful in multiplexed systems (showcases), as allows
all the utilities to be enabled at the same time without causing problems of
high pressure for the compressors. To reduce the evaporation temperature,
the output of the refrigeration unit needs to be decreased. This can be done
by controlled closing of the electronic valve, implying superheat is no longer
controlled, and an increase in the superheat temperature. The protector
will thus have a moderate reaction that tends to limit the increase in the
evaporation temperature, keeping it below the activation threshold while
trying to stop the superheat from increasing as much as possible. Normal
operating conditions will not resume based on the activation of the protector,
but rather on the reduction in the refrigerant charge that caused the increase
in temperature. The system will therefore remain in the best operating
conditions (a little below the threshold) until the load conditions change.

** Type of variable: A= Analogue; D= Digital; I= Integer

8.3 Unit of measure
In the configuration parameters menu, with access by manufacturer password,
the user can choose the unit of measure for the driver:
• international system (°C, K, barg);
• imperial system (°F, psig).
Example 2: The “superheat set point” parameter set to 10 K will be immediately
converted to the corresponding value of 18 °F.
Example 3: The “Temperature S4: maximum alarm value” parameter, set to
150 °C, will be immediately converted to the corresponding value of 302 °F.
Note: the units of measure K and R relate to degrees Kelvin or Rankine
adopted for measuring the superheat and the related parameters.
When changing the unit of measure, all the values of the parameters saved on
the driver and all the measurements read by the probes will be recalculated.
This means that when changing the units of measure, control remains
unaltered.
Note: due to limits in the internal arithmetic of the driver, pressure
values above 200 barg (2900 psig) and temperature values above 200 °C (392
°F) cannot be converted
Example 1: The pressure read is 100 barg, this will be immediately converted
to the corresponding value of 1450 psig.

The table below shows the variables used by the drivers depending on the
“Main control” parameter. At the end of the variable list are the screens used
to check the probe and valve electrical connections for driver A and driver
B. These variables are visible on the display by accessing display mode (see

9. ALARMS
9.1 Alarms
There are two types of alarms for each driver:
• system: valve motor, EEPROM, probe and communication;
• control: low superheat, LOP, MOP, low suction temperature.
The activation of the alarms depends on the setting of the threshold and
activation delay parameters. Setting the delay to 0 disables the alarms. The
EEPROM alarm always shuts down the controller.
All the alarms are reset automatically, once the causes are no longer present.
The alarm relay contact will open if the relay is configured as alarm relay using
the corresponding parameter. The signalling of the alarm event on the driver
depends on whether the LED board or the display board is fitted, as shown
in the table below.

9.2 Alarm relay configuration
The relay contacts are open when the controller is not powered.
During normal operation, the relay can be disabled (and thus will be always
open) or configured as:
• alarm relay : during normal operation, the relay contact is closed, and opens
when any alarm is activated. It can be used to switch off the compressor
and the system in the event of alarms.
• solenoid valve relay : during normal operation, the relay contact is closed,
and is open only in standby. There is no change in the event of alarms.
• solenoid valve relay + alarm : during normal operation, the relay contact
is closed, and opens in standby and/or for LowSH, MOP, HiTcond and low
suction temperature alarms. This is because following such alarms, the
user may want to protect the unit by stopping the flow of refrigerant or
switching off the compressor. The LOP alarm is excluded, as in the event
of low evaporation temperature closing the solenoid valve would worsen
the situation.
• Direct control: the relay is actuated by a variable accessible by serial;
• Failed closing alarm relay (open with alarm);
• Reverse failed closing alarm relay (closed with alarm).
“EVD Evolution TWIN” +0300006EN - rel. 2.7 - 18.12.2019
In the event of a mains power failure, if the driver is connected to the Ultracap
module, the forced emergency valve closing procedure starts and the red
LED comes. At the end of the emergency closing procedure, the outcome is
indicated by the value of the parameter “Failed closing alarm status”:
0 = Closing successful;
1 = Closing failed.
The driver will then switch off. If the closing procedure fails, when next
restarting, if the parameter “Relay configuration” = 8 or 9 the display will show
the “Battery discharged” alarm and the relay will be activated based on the
setting (open or closed).
Note: the “Battery discharged” alarm:
has no affect on the positioning of the valve, it is signal-only; is not activated if
the driver has a direct current power supply (Vdc).

9.3 Probe alarms
The probe alarms are part of the system alarms. When the value measured
by one of the probes is outside of the field defined by the parameters
corresponding to the alarm limits, an alarm is activated. The limits can be set
independently of the range of measurement. Consequently, the field outside
of which the alarm is signalled can be restricted, to ensure greater safety of
the controlled unit.
Important: in applications that use programmable control it may be
necessary to exclude the alarms generated by the probes:

9.4 Control alarms
These are alarms that are only activate during control.
Protector alarms
Note:
The alarms corresponding to the LowSH, LOP and MOP protectors are only
activated during control when the corresponding activation threshold is
exceeded, and only when the delay time defined by the corresponding
parameter has elapsed. If a protector is not enabled (integral time= 0 s), no
alarm will be signalled. If before the expiry of the delay, the protector control
variable returns back inside the corresponding threshold, no alarm will be
signalled.
avoid unwanted probe alarms. In this case, the correct operation of the unit
or the correct signalling of alarms will not be guaranteed;
by default, after having selected the type of probe used, the alarm limits
will be automatically set to the limits corresponding to the range of
measurement of the probe.

Low suction temperature alarm
The low suction temperature alarm is not linked to any protection function.
It features a threshold and a delay, and is useful in the event of probe or
valve malfunctions to protect the compressor using the relay to control the
solenoid valve or to simply signal a possible risk.
In fact, the incorrect measurement of the evaporation pressure or incorrect
configuration of the type of refrigerant may mean the superheat calculated
is much higher than the actual value, causing an incorrect and excessive
opening of the valve.
A low suction temperature measurement may in this case indicate the
probable flooding of the compressor, with corresponding alarm signal.
If the alarm delay is set to 0 s, the alarm is disabled. The alarm is reset
automatically, with a fixed differential of 3°C above the activation threshold.

Relay activation for control alarms
As mentioned in the paragraph on the configuration of the relay, in the event

relay.
The behaviour of the driver in response to probe alarms can be configured,
using the manufacturer parameters. The options are:
• no action (control continues but the correct measurement of the variables
is not guaranteed);
• forced closing of the valve (control stopped);
• valve forced to the initial position (control stopped).

9.5 EEV motor alarm
At the end of the commissioning procedure and whenever the controller is
powered up, the valve motor error recognition procedure is activated. This
precedes the forced closing procedure and lasts around 10 s. The valve is kept
stationary to allow any valve motor faults or missing or incorrect connections
to be detected. In any of these cases, the corresponding alarm is activated,
with automatic reset. The controller will go into wait status, as it can longer
control the valve. The procedure can be avoided by keeping the respective
digital input closed for each driver. In this case, after having powered up the
controller, forced closing of the valve is performed immediately.
Important: after having resolved the problem with the motor, it is
recommended to switch the controller off and on again to realign the position
of the valve. If this is not possible, the automatic procedure for synchronising
the position may help solve the problem, nonetheless correct control will not
be guaranteed until the next synchronisation.
9.6 LAN error alarm
Note: in the event of LAN error, a parameter can be set to disable
“Manual positioning”.
If the connection to the LAN network is offline for more than 6s due to an
electrical problem, the incorrect configuration of the network addresses or
the malfunction of the pCO controller, a LAN error alarm will be signalled.
The LAN error affects the operation of the controller as follows:
• case 1: unit in standby, digital input DI1/DI2 disconnected; driver A/B will
remain permanently in standby and control will not be able to start;
• case 2: unit in control, digital input DI1/DI2 disconnected: the driver will
stop control and will go permanently into standby;
• case 3: unit in standby, digital input DI1/DI2 connected: the driver will
remain in standby, however control will be able to start if the digital input
is closed. In this case, it will start with “current cooling capacity”= 100%;
• case 4: unit in control, digital input DI1/DI2 connected: driver A/B will
remain in control status, maintaining the value of the “current cooling
capacity”. If the digital input opens, the driver will go to standby and control
will be able to start again when the input closes. In this case, it will start with
“current cooling capacity”= 100%.

vice-versa. If the movement is reversed, check the electrical connections.
The superheat set point is too low
Increase the superheat set point. Initially set it to 12 °C and check that there is no
longer return of liquid. Then gradually reduce the set point, always making sure there is
no return of liquid.
Low superheat protection ineffective
If the superheat remains low for too long with the valve that is slow to close, increase
the low superheat threshold and/or decrease the low superheat integral time. Initially
set the threshold 3 °C below the superheat set point, with an integral time of 3-4
seconds. Then gradually lower the low superheat threshold and increase the low
superheat integral time, checking that there is no return of liquid in any operating
conditions.
Stator broken or connected incorrectly
Disconnect the stator from the valve and the cable and measure the resistance of the
windings using an ordinary tester.
The resistance of both should be around 36 ohms. Otherwise replace the stator. Finally,
check the electrical connections of the cable to the driver.
Valve stuck open
Check if the superheating is always low (<2 °C) with the valve position permanently at
0 steps. If so, set the valve to manual control and close it completely. If the superheat is
always low, check the electrical connections and/or replace the valve.

In certain cases the setting of digital inputs 1 and 2 may be the same or
alternatively may be incompatible (e.g.: digital input 1 = regulation backup,
digital input 2 = regulation security). The problem thus arises to determine
which function the driver needs to perform.

13.8 Main control – additional functions
The following additional functions are available using probes S3 and S4.
BLDC Control with compressor
Important: this type of control is incompatible with adaptive control
and autotuning.
Tab. 13.c
To be able to use this control function, only available for CAREL valve drivers,
the driver must be connected to a CAREL pCO programmable controller
running an application able to manage a unit with BLDC scroll compressor.
In addition, the compressor must be controlled by the CAREL Power+
“speed drive” (with inverter), specially designed to manage the speed profile
required by the compressor operating specifications. Two probes are needed
for superheat control (PA, TA) plus two probes located downstream of the
compressor (PB, TB) for discharge superheat and discharge temperature (TB)
control.
Note:
• for cascade CO2 systems, at the end of the commissioning procedure, also
set the auxiliary refrigerant. See the paragraph on reverse HiTcond;
• if the refrigerant is not among those available for the “Refrigerant”
parameter”:
1. set any refrigerant (e.g. R404);
2. select the model of valve, the pressure probe S1, the type of main
control and end the commissioning procedure;
3. enter programming mode and set the type of refrigerant: custom, and
the parameters “Dew a…f high/low” and “Bubble a…f high/low” that
define the refrigerant;
4. start control, for example by closing the digital input contact to enable
operation.

Modulating thermostat
This function is used, by connecting a temperature probe to input S4, to
modulate the opening of the electronic valve so as to limit the lowering of
the temperature read and consequently reach the control set point. This is
useful in applications such as the multiplexed cabinets to avoid the typical
swings in air temperature due to the ON/OFF control (thermostatic) of the
solenoid valve. A temperature probe must be connected to input S4, located
in a similar position to the one used for the traditional temperature control
of the cabinet. In practice, the close the controlled temperature gets to the
set point, the more the control function decreases the cooling capacity of
the evaporator by closing the expansion valve. By correctly setting the related
parameters (see below), a very stable cabinet temperature can be achieved
around the set point, without ever closing the solenoid valve. The function is
defined by three parameters: set point, differential and offset.
For the wiring, see paragraph “General connection diagram”.
As already mentioned, the HITCond protection can only be enabled if the
controller measures the condensing pressure/temperature, and responds
moderately by closing the valve in the event where the condensing
temperature reaches excessive values, to prevent the compressor from
shutting down due to high pressure. The condensing pressure probe must be
connected to input S3.

the closing of the valve will be limited if this causes an excessive decrease
in the evaporation temperature.
The first two should have values similar to those set on the controller for the
cabinet or utility whose temperature is being modulated.
The offset, on the other hand, defines the intensity in closing the valve as
the temperature decreases: the greater the offset, the more the valve will be
modulated. The function is only active in a temperature band between the set
point and the set point plus the differential.
cooled condenser is undersized or dirty/malfunctioning in the more critical
operating conditions (high outside temperature);
the protector has no purpose in multiplexed systems (showcases), where
the condensing pressure is maintained constant and the status of the
individual electronic valves does not affect the pressure value.
To reduce the condensing temperature, the output of the refrigeration
unit needs to be decreased. This can be done by controlled closing of the
electronic valve, implying superheat is no longer controlled, and an increase in
the superheat temperature. The protector will thus have a moderate reaction
that tends to limit the increase in the condensing temperature, keeping
it below the activation threshold while trying to stop the superheat from
increasing as much as possible. Normal operating conditions will not resume
based on the activation of the protector, but rather on the reduction in the
outside temperature. The system will therefore remain in the best operating
conditions (a little below the threshold) until the environmental conditions
Important: the “Modulating thermostat” function should not be used
on stand-alone refrigeration units, but only in centralised systems. In fact, in
the former case closing the valve would cause a lowering of the pressure and
consequently shut down the compressor.

The subcooling measurement uses the difference between the condensing
temperature taken from the relative pressure reading and the temperature of
the liquid refrigerant exiting the condenser. This measurement indicates the
refrigerant charge in the circuit.
Nota: for this type of application, the auxiliary refrigerant must be set
as CO2 (R744).ù
C
A value near 0 K indicates possible insufficient refrigerant, which may cause
a decline in circuit cooling efficiency, a reduction in mass flow through the
expansion valve and swings in superheat control. In addition, it may indicate
a refrigerant leak in circuits where the nominal subcooling value is known.
L1
A subcooling value that is too high, for example above 20 K, when not required
by the application may indicate excessive refrigerant charge in the circuit, and
can cause unusually high condensing pressure values with a consequent
decline in circuit cooling efficiency and possible compressor shutdown due
to the high pressure switch tripping.

Reverse high condensing temperature protection
(HiTcond) on S3
M
EEV
The aim of reverse HiTcond protection is to limit the condensing pressure in
the refrigerant circuit by opening the valve rather than closing it. This function
is recommended, rather than the HiTcond protection function described
previously, in refrigerant circuits without a liquid receiver and where the
condenser is smaller than the evaporator (e.g. air-to-water heat pumps). In
this case, in fact, closing the valve would obstruct the flow of refrigerant to the
condenser that, lacking sufficient volume for the refrigerant to accumulate,
would cause an increase in condensing pressure. This function is especially
useful for condensers in CO2 cascade systems. See the chapter on Protectors.

The driver controls refrigerant superheat in the primary circuit (A), and at the
same time measures the refrigerant condensing pressure in the secondary
circuit (B). When the condensing temperature exceeds the HiTCond protection
threshold, normal superheat control is overridden by forced opening of
the valve, at a rate that is inversely proportional to the HiTCond protection
integral time. Opening the EEV lowers the superheat in the primary circuit,
which increases the heat exchange coefficient and consequently reduces the
condensing pressure in the secondary circuit.

The reverse HiTcond threshold for CO2 cascade applications should be set in
relation to the expected evaporation temperature in the primary circuit. The
threshold must be set to a value that is at least 3-5°C higher than the minimum
evaporation temperature in the primary circuit. Lower values make achieving
the set pressure limit incompatible with heat exchange efficiency. In addition,
swings in operation may occur due the attempt to limit low superheat in the
primary circuit and the pressure in the secondary circuit at the same time.
Important: opening the valve will probably also cause activation of
the low superheat protection LowSH, which tends to limit the opening of
the valve. The ratio between the integral times of these two concurrent yet
opposing protectors determines how effective one is compared to the other.
Reverse HiTcond (for CO2 cascade systems)
Reverse high condensing temperature protection (HiTcond) on S3 is especially
useful for condensers in CO2 cascade systems, where condensation in the low
temperature circuit (also called “secondary”, B) takes place when evaporating
the refrigerant in the medium temperature circuit (“primary”, A).
