Compressor Control Setpoints Screen 1 - Discharge Pressure
The Compressor Control Setpoints page 1 (Discharge
Pressure) screen appears when navigating to
“Compressor Control Setpoints” from the menu screen
when Discharge Pressure control is selected. Setpoints
for desired discharge pressure, capacity slide valve con-
trol, auto start-stop, and main motor VFD are settable
within this screen. For more information and operational
descriptions, see section 2 “Operational Descriptions.”
The following groups of setpoints are settable. If mul-
tiple groups of setpoints are being used, the active
group of setpoints is designated by the “Setpoint 1” or
“Setpoint 2” text being shown in green. Auto Start/Stop
and Main Motor VFD Setpoints will appear if selected.
DISCHARGE PRESSURE CONTROL
• Target Discharge Pressure: This is the desired dis-
charge pressure the compressor will try to maintain.
• Upper and Lower Deadband: This is a range of
pressures above and below the Target Discharge
Pressure. Within this range, no capacity slide posi-
tion adjustments will be made.
• Upper and Lower Proportional Band: This is a range
of pressures above and below the Target Discharge
Pressure. Within this range, the controller will make
proportionally smaller adjustments to capacity slide
position.
CAPACITY SLIDE VALVE
• Load/Unload Interval time: This is the cycle time be-
tween making capacity slide position adjustments.
• Max Load/Unload Adjustment per interval: This is the
maximum amount the capacity position command
may be adjusted by every time through the Load/
Unload Cycle timer.
