controllers

CAREL released its first programmable controller

over twenty years ago, and today has the widest
range available in the sector.
pCO sistema represents CAREL’s response to the
demand for controllers with programmable logic
for HVACR applications.
pCO sistema offers numerous advantages
to manufacturers of air-conditioning and
refrigeration units and systems:
• reduced assembly and wiring times (DIN rail
mounting);
• real time management of the fastest transients,
using powerful microprocessors;
• possibility to save events (alarms, temperature,
pressure, ...) even for extended periods, in the
flash memory;
• flexible and customisable appearance;
• simple connection to more commonly-used
communication standards using the resident
multi-protocol software;
• considerable flexibility in defining the functions
and algorithms, using the 1tool development
package.

All easily interfaced to the most widely-used

Building Management Systems, or integrated into
the proprietary supervisory system.

 Parametric controllers

CAREL continues to focus its efforts on searching

for increasingly advanced control solutions
for HVAC/R applications. Specific commitment
is dedicated to parametric controllers, which
provide the user a powerful and flexible
instrument. Indeed, starting from extremely
simple control strategies the user can, by
modifying just a few parameters, adopt control
algorithms that are much more sophisticated and
innovative, based on the state-of-the-art in the
air-conditioning sector.

The flexibility of the controllers has become

increasingly accessible due to the introduction
of new software tools for programming the
controllers directly from a personal computer.

Simple installation is also an important factor,

both as regards assembly and wiring, using
standard templates and quick connectors.

Finally, all parametric controllers can interface

with both CAREL supervisory systems and open
supervisory systems.

solutions

CAREL offers increasingly advanced control

solutions in the field of parametric controllers
for HVAC/R applications. Specific commitment is
dedicated to universal controllers, which provide
the user a powerful and flexible instrument
that easily can be configured. Starting from
extremely simple control strategies the user can,
by modifying just a few parameters, adopt control
algorithms that are much more sophisticated and
innovative, for example PID with AutoTuning.

The Comtool software can be used to configure

the parameters on the controllers directly from a
personal computer.

Simple installation is also an important factor,

both as regards assembly and wiring, using
standard templates and quick connectors.

Finally, all universal controllers can interface with

CAREL supervisory systems and open supervisory
systems.

 Sensors and protection
devices

Sensors and protection devices are components

used in refrigeration units

They measure a physical value (temperature,

humidity, pressure, etc.) and convert the
reading into an electrical signal to be sent to the
electronic controller, allowing the unit to work
within the required operating limits.

These components carry out a key role in the

improvement of control and the optimised
management of the installation.

They can interface with and be adapted to

controllers supplied by third parties with standard

 Remote management
and communication
solutions

systems of monitoring and supervision carry out

a role key in the management incorporated of the
systems HVAC/R.

These are essential instruments for continuously

and effectively controlling the status of field
devices and recording temperature and events in
compliance with HACCP regulations.
They can perform scheduled actions (e.g. lights
on/off, etc. ) and optimise the organisation of
maintenance operations through effective alarm
management.
The immediate signalling of alarms by SMS,
e-mail and/or fax means the installation is always
under control, while the remote system can be
used to resolve several problems quickly, without
need to go on-site, ensuring economic savings
and faster response times.
The system offers various reporting options,
including standards-compliant print-outs at
programmable times.
In addition, critical situations can be highlighted
relating to the trend in values such as
temperature, pressure and power consumption,
comparing values between different utilities.

 FieldBus connectivity
From the viewpoint of communication between controllers made by different companies, CAREL also offers a wide variety of solutions for interfacing the pCO family
controllers with field devices such as valves, VFDs, serial sensors, Belimo actuators etc. In this way, the pCO sistema series controllers not only manage the individual
units, but the entire air-conditioning/refrigeration installation.

CAREL controllers can be connected to the BMS in the following ways:
• directly, thanks to the ability of the pCO sistema series controllers to select the protocol used (CAREL, Modbus®);
• using a serial board that communicates with the protocol used by the BMS (BACnet™, SNMP, LON…);
• integrating the driver for the management of the CAREL proprietary protocol into the (OPC®, CAREL DLL).

 ExV system

CAREL presents its solution for electronic

expansion valves (EXV) with proportional
modulation and excellent technical and
functional characteristics.

The ExV series can be used in many applications

in the fields of air-conditioning and refrigeration
at low and normal temperatures, and ensures
compatibility with the most commonly used
refrigerants.

The use of ExV technology ensures energy saving

compared to a mechanical expansion valve,
paying for itself in a very short time.

In addition, it has been proven and validated in

the field that in commercial refrigeration and
computer room air-conditioning applications the
reduction in consumption achievable using ExV
is on average 15 to 20% annually, based on the
application, with seasonal peaks of up to30%.

 Condenser controllers
and inverters

Speed controllers represent a solution for

controlling electric motors.

They are typically used on condensing units, in

compressors or pumps, to modulate the speed
and optimise the efficiency of the unit, achieving
considerable energy saving.

Devices are available in the single-phase and

three-phase versions, and with varying index of
protection (IP).
