These screens enable the operator to view and
adjust settings that affect compressor control.
From the Setup screen, the operator can choose
the method or mode of compressor control:
Compressor Control Via
Suction Pressure
Process Temperature
Discharge Pressure
Once the method is chosen, the appropriate
setpoints are then displayed on the Compres-
sor Control Setpoints screen.
The compressor will decide when to increase
or decrease capacity by comparing the con-
trolled variable to the setpoints. The maxi-
mum on time and minimum off time settings
for slide actuator motors can be used to reduce
hunting or improve response time. The de-
fault settings of 3 and 20 seconds respectively, pro-
vide good operation over a wide range of condi-
tions.
Also on this screen, the following buttons are dis-
played:
· Event List – Provides a chronological event list-
ing.
· Chart – Provides a line graph showing process
values over a range of time.
· Auto – Places the capacity slides into automatic
mode. In automatic mode, the capacity slide
moves according to control setpoint informa-
tion.
· Manual – Places the capacity slides into manual
mode. In manual mode, the capacity slide
moves based on input from the operator.
