RS485 Installation Considerations


RS485 data communications and other low voltage
signals can be subject to electrical interference. This
potential can result in intermittent malfunction or anomaly
that is difficult to diagnose. To avoid this possibility
always use earth shielded cables, securely bonded to a
known good earth at one end. In addition, give careful
consideration to cable routing during installation.
a) Never route an RS485 data communications or low
voltage signal cable alongside a high voltage or 3-phase
power supply cable. If it is necessary to cross the path of
a power supply cable(s), always cross at a right angle.
b) If it is necessary to follow the route of power supply
cables for a short distance (for example: from a
compressor X12I to a wall along a suspended cable tray)
attach the RS485 or signal cable on the outside of an
earthed cable tray such that the cable tray forms an
earthed electrical interference shield.
c) Where possible, never route an RS485 or signal cable
near to equipment or devices that may be a source of
electrical interference (for example: 3-phase power
supply transformer, high voltage switchgear unit,
frequency inverter drive module, radio communications
antenna).

COMPRESSOR INTERFACE IR-PCB

IR-PCB EXP BOX (OPTION)

The ir-PCB is designed to interface a compressor with


the X12I using a 6-core (or 7-core for IRV-PCB
operation), earth shielded, cable no greater than 330ft
(100 meters) in length.

As standard the X12I has four direct connect ir-PCB


terminal connections. This capability can be extended
with the use of optional ir-PCB EXP Box(s). Each box
adds another four direct connect ir-PCB terminals. Up to
two ir-PCB EXP Boxes can be connected to the X12I to
provide a maximum of 12 direct connect ir-PCB
terminals.

Each compressor in the system must be assigned a


unique identification number from 1 up to the number of
compressors in the system. The identification number
should be clearly indicated on each compressor for
operational reference.
For each compressor connected to the X12I utilizing an
ir-PCB, the signal wires must be connected to the X12I
terminals dedicated for the assigned compressor
reference number.

SECTION 5 CONTROL FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS


PRESSURE CONTROL
Pressure control is achieved by maintaining the system
pressure within an acceptable range, or pressure band,
which is defined and programmed by the user. Pressure
will rise in the band when system demand is less than
the loaded compressors output. Pressure will fall in the
band when system demand is greater than the loaded
compressors output.

PH

PT

PL

Simply stated, pressure control is achieved by unloading


and loading compressors to closely match compressor
output with system demand within a specified pressure
band defined by PL and PH. See Figure 1.
Figure 2 Typical VSD Pressure Control vs. Time
Variable speed compressors also operate within the
pressure band and actively match compressor output
with system demand by speeding up and slowing down
around a target pressure defined by the exact midpoint of
the pressure band defined by PT. See Figure 2.

PH

PT

The variable speed compressors in the system will run on


their target pressure and smooth out the variations in
system pressure. This assumes that system demand
does not vary more than the capacity of the variable
speed compressor.
A variable speed compressor will be included in the
load/unload sequence and be controlled exactly as a
fixed speed machine with the exception of speed control
to maintain target pressure.

PL

Figure 1 Typical System Pressure vs. Time


As pressure rises to point a, the compressor will unload
based on the sequencing algorithm. System pressure is
then allowed to decrease due to the drop in supply until
point b is reached. Once point b is reached, the X12I
will load the next compressor in the sequence to match
the air demand. This cycle will repeat as long as the X12I
is able to keep the system air pressure between PH and
PL.

ANTI-CYCLING CONTROL
The most efficient way to utilize most air compressors is
either fully loaded or off, with the exception of variable
speed compressors which can operate efficiently at
reduced loading. Compressor cycling (start-load-unloadstop, etc.) is essential to maintain pressure control.
Excessive cycling, however, can result in poor
compressor efficiency as well as increased maintenance.
Anti-cycling control is incorporated to help ensure that
only the compressors that are actually required are
started and operating while all others are kept off. Anticycling control includes a pressure tolerance range or
band, defined by the user, which is outside of the primary
pressure band. Inside the tolerance band, an active
control algorithm continually analyzes pressure dynamics
to determine the last possible second to add or cycle
another compressor into the system. This control is
further enhanced by the ability to fine tune the tolerance
band settings and algorithm processing time (Damping).

21

TOLERANCE

DAMPING

Tolerance is a user adjustable setting that determines


how far above the PH Setpoint and below the PL
Setpoint system pressure will be allowed to stray.
Tolerance keeps the X12I from overcompensating in the
event of a temporary significant increase or decrease in
system demand.

Any time the pressure is within the Tolerance band the


Anti-Cycling algorithm is active, sampling the rate of
pressure change and calculating when to load or unload
the next compressor. The damping (DA) setting is a user
adjustable Setpoint that determines how quickly the
controller samples and recalculates, effectively speeding
up or slowing down the reaction time.

PH + TO
TO
PH

PT

The X12Is factory default DA setting of 1 is adequate


for the majority of compressed air systems but may need
to be adjusted in the following circumstances involving
aggressive and disproportionate system pressure
changes:

PL
TO
PL - TO

Figure 3 Tolerance in Relation to PH and PL


Tolerance (TO) is expressed as a pressure defining the
width of the band above PH and below PL in which
energy efficient control will be in effect.
When system pressure is in the tolerance band, the X12I
will continuously calculate the moment at which
compressors will be loaded or unloaded based on the
rate of change of system pressure. When the system
pressure strays outside of the tolerance band, the X12I
will abandon energy efficiency and begin to protect the
system air pressure by loading or unloading the
compressors. Loading will be delay controlled.
When the compressed air system storage is relatively
small compared to the system demand, and fluctuations
are large and quick, the tolerance band setting should be
increased to maintain energy efficient operation and
avoid a situation in which multiple compressors are
loaded just to be unloaded moments later.
When the compressed air system is relatively large
compared to system demand and fluctuations are smaller
and slower, the tolerance band can be reduced to
improve pressure control and maintain energy efficient
operation.

Inadequate air storage

High pressure differential across the air


treatment equipment

Incorrectly sized piping

Slow or delayed compressor response

In these circumstances, the X12I may overreact and


attempt to load additional compressors that may not be
necessary if the system was given time to allow the
system pressure to stabilize after the initial compressor is
given time to load. If the tolerance has already been
increased and the X12I is still overreacting, then
increasing the damping factor is the next step.
Damping is adjustable and is scaled from 0.1 to 10 with a
factory default of 1. A factor of 0.1 is a reaction time 10
times faster than the default and a factor of 10 is a
reaction time 10 times slower than the default.
There are many variables that go into
determining the stability and control of the system
pressure, only some of which are able to be
controlled by the X12I. System storage, air
compressor capacity, and air demand all need to be
analyzed by experienced professionals to determine
the best installation for your system. Tolerance (TO)
and damping (DA) can be used for minor tuning of
the system.

The factory default setting for tolerance is 3.0 PSI


(0.2Bar). This setting is user adjustable.

22

SYSTEM VOLUME
Storage Calculations:
The following formula determines the recommended
minimum storage volume for a compressed air system:

Assorted Receiver Tanks


System volume defines how fast system pressure will
rise or fall in reaction to either increased/decreased
demand or increased/decreased supply. The larger the
system volume, the slower the pressure changes in
relation to increased/decreased demand or supply.
Adequate system volume enables effective pressure
control and avoids system over-pressurization in
response to abrupt pressure fluctuations. Adequate
system volume is created by correctly sizing and utilizing
air receivers.
The most accurate way to determine the size of air
receivers or the additional volume required would be to
measure the size and duration of the largest demand
event that occurs in the system, then size the volume
large enough to ride through the event with an
acceptable decrease in system pressure. Sizing the
volume for the worst event will ensure system stability
and effective control over all other normal operating
conditions.
If measurement is not available, then estimating the
largest event is a reasonable alternative. For example,
assume that the largest demand event could be equal to
the loss of the largest operating air compressor. System
volume would be sized to allow time for a back-up
compressor to be started and loaded with an acceptable
decrease in pressure.

Energy Control Mode Control and Rotation:

SEQUENCE CONTROL STRATEGIES


The X12I provides three basic sequence control
strategies or modes. Each sequence control strategy
consists of two sub strategies:
1)
2)

The compressor Rotation strategy


The compressor load Control strategy

The Rotation strategy defines how the compressors


are re-arranged, or re-ordered, in to a new sequence at
each routine Rotation event. Rotation events are
triggered by a cyclic interval time, a set time of day each
day, or a set time of day once a week.
The compressor load Control strategy defines how
the compressors are utilized in response to variations in
system pressure.

Compressor control and utilization is dynamically


automated with adaptive control logic and therefore does
not follow pre-determined schedules, rotation
configurations or time intervals. Energy Control mode
can, however be operator influenced by the Priority
functionality which is discussed later in this manual.
Energy Control mode is enabled by the ability of the X12I
to process individual compressor capacity, variable
capacity capabilities, and changes in system pressure to
dynamically implement and continuously review best fit
configurations as demand variations occur.

80%

40%

Compressor Sequence Arrangements:


Each compressor in a system is initially assigned to the
X12I with a fixed and unchanging number reference, 1 to
12.
The duty that a compressor is assigned in any set
Rotation sequence arrangement is defined by a letter, A
to L.
For example:
A = the Duty compressor, the first to be utilized.
B = The Standby compressor, the second to be utilized.
C = The Second Standby compressor, the third to be
utilized.
D = The Third Standby compressor, the forth to be
utilized.
Compressor duty assignments are reviewed, and rearranged as appropriate in accordance with the selected
rotation strategy, at each rotation event.

STANDARD CONTROL FEATURES AND


FUNCTIONALITY
The standard (default) configuration of the X12I provides
ENER (Energy Control) sequence control strategy,
Priority Settings, Table Selection, Pressure Schedule,
and Pre-fill operation.
ENER: ENERGY CONTROL MODE
The primary function of Energy Control mode is to:
1/ Dynamically match compressed air supply with
compressed air demand.
2/ Utilize the most energy efficient set/combination of air
compressors to achieve 1/.
Energy Control mode is designed to manage systems
that include compressors of different capacities and
different air compressor types (fixed speed, variable
speed and variable capacity) in any combination or
configuration.

1: Demand

PRIORITY SETTINGS
The sequence assignment pattern can be modified
by using the priority settings.
Priority settings can be used to modify the rotation
sequence assignments. Compressors can be assigned a
priority of 1 to 12, where 1 is the highest priority. Any
compressor can be assigned any priority and any number
of compressors can share the same priority.
Priorities allow you to set up rotation groups. All
compressors that have the same priority number will
rotate inside their own group. The group with the highest
priority will always be in the front of the sequence.
For example, in a four compressor system including one
variable speed compressor in the compressor 1 position
you may want the variable speed compressor to always
be in the Lead position. By assigning compressor 1 a
priority of 1 and the other three compressors a priority of
2, the variable speed compressor will always remain at
the front of the sequence:
1

#1

#2

#3

#4

Compressor 1 has priority 1, all other compressors


have priority 2

24

In another example, there is a four compressor system


that includes a compressor in the compressor 4 spot that
is used only as an emergency backup compressor. To
accomplish this, simply assign compressor 4 a lower
priority than any other compressor in the system:
1

#1

#2

#3

#4

Compressor 4 has priority 2, all other


compressors have priority 1
In a third example, there is a four compressor system
that includes a variable speed compressor designated
compressor 1 and a fixed speed compressor that is an
emergency backup assigned as compressor 4. To ensure
that compressor 1 is always at the front of the sequence
and compressor 4 is always at the end of the sequence,
set the priority as shown below:
1

#1

#2

#3

#4

Compressor 1 has priority 1, compressor 4 has


priority 3 and all other compressors have priority 2
A last example involves another four compressor system
that will be assigned into two independently rotation
groups. Compressors 1 and 2 are given priority 1 and
compressors 3 and 4 are given priority 2. This results in
the rotation sequence shown below:
1

#1

#2

#3

#4

Priority control will also work with ENER control


mode. Recall that ENER control automatically selects the
most efficient set of compressors to dynamically match
compressed air demand. Priority will force the X12I
controller to select from all priority 1 compressors and
make sure that they are loaded in the sequence before
utilizing any priority 2 compressors. All priority 2
compressors must be utilized before priority 3
compressors can be loaded and so on. Priority allows a
system to be segregated to backup and primary use
compressors when using ENER control.
Using the Priority function with ENER Control can
affect system efficiency.
TABLES AND THE PRESSURE SCHEDULE

-------------

The X12I operates based on settings that are


configured into one of six tables. Each table defines the
operational settings and sequence control mode of the
X12I. The X12I can be instructed to change among the
tables at any time based on the configuration of the
pressure schedule.
This functionality allows the X12I to switch among
multiple different system configurations without any
disruption to control. This is particularly useful in the case
of shift changes, or weekends when the system is to be
deactivated.
Each table consists of the following parameters which
can be set independently in each table:

PRESSURE CHANGE TIME:


When the X12I is instructed to change between tables, it
will not abruptly change the system operating
parameters. The X12I will adjust the system target
pressure upward or downward to the next tables
settings. This transition will occur gradually to preserve
energy efficiency and safe, reliable control:

Adjust the day of the week sub-setting first and then


press Enter to increment to the next setting. Repeat until
all item sub-settings are entered. The complete Pressure
Schedule item will not be set in X12I memory until the
last sub-setting is entered. Press Escape to step back
one sub-item if required.
SEQUENCE ROTATION:
A sequence Rotation event can be automatically
triggered on a routine basis using a pre-determined
interval, a pre-determined time each day or a predetermined day and time each week.

Changing Target Pressures


The time the system is allotted to change the target
pressure is known as the Pressure Change Time (PC).
This is a value that is adjustable in the system settings
screen.
If the X12I is able to complete the transition in less time
than is allotted without threatening energy efficiency then
PC will be automatically shortened.
An aggressively short time setting will compromise
energy efficiency.
PRESSURE SCHEDULE:
The X12I is equipped with a real time clock feature
and pressure schedule facility. The Pressure Schedule
function can be used to provide automation of the
system.
The pressure schedule consists of 28 individual settings
that instruct the system to change from one Table to
another, or put the system in to Standby mode,
dependant on time of day and day of the week. The
pressure schedule will cycle from 00:00 hours Monday
(day #1) to 23:59 hours on Sunday (day #7) each
calendar week.

PREFILL
The Prefill feature provides a controlled and energy
efficient method of increasing pressure to normal
operating levels at system start. This feature avoids the
inefficient potential for all available system compressors
to start and load before pressure reaches the normal
operating level.

INSUFFICIENT CAPACITY ALARM

CAP

The X12I is equipped with a dedicated Insufficient


Capacity Advisory Alarm (Warning) indication. This
indication will illuminate if all available compressors are
loaded and system pressure is continuing to decrease.
The indication will generally occur prior to any set low
pressure Alarm (Warning) and is intended to provide an
advanced warning of a potential Low Pressure situation.
At system start (manual start or automated start from
standby) the X12I will only load compressors that have
been pre-determined for prefill operation, for a pre-set
period of time. The prefill time (PT) can be adjusted to
suit system characteristics. The aim is to increase
pressure to normal operational levels, using only the predetermined compressors, prior to the prefill time expiring.
If normal operational pressure is reached prior to the set
prefill time, the prefill function will automatically cease
and normal operational control begin. If normal
operational pressure is not reached by the end of the
prefill time, the X12I will utilize as many available
compressors as required to achieve normal operational
pressure as quickly as possible. Normal operational
control will then begin.
Three prefill modes are available. Backup and
Standard modes require compressor pre-selection and
function in the same way; differing only in response to a
failure, or loss, of a prefill compressor. Automatic mode
requires no compressor pre-selection.
Backup Mode: Compressor(s) can be pre-selected as
Primary Prefill compressor(s) or Backup Prefill
compressor(s). If a primary prefill compressor
experiences a shutdown, or is stopped, a pre-defined
backup compressor replaces it and prefill continues.

! X

Standard Mode: If one or more of the predefined prefill compressors experiences a shutdown, or is
stopped, the prefill function is cancelled and normal
operation begins.

Automatic Mode: No Prefill compressor


selection is necessary; any selection set is ignored. The
management unit automatically selects compressor(s)
dynamically to achieve pressure in accordance with the
set Prefill time. If a compressor is stopped, or shuts
down, it is automatically substituted with an alternative
compressor.
To manually skip Prefill mode, press and hold Start
for several seconds.

The Insufficient Capacity advisory alarm is intended as


an advanced warning and is not recorded in the fault
history log but is included as a Group Alarm (Warning), or
Group Fault item.
Insufficient Capacity is available as a dedicated data
communications item.
The Insufficient Capacity advisory alarm function
can be de-activated. In this instance the units Alarm
indicator will still illuminate but no group alarm, group
fault, or a remote indication is generated.
RESTRICTED CAPACITY ALARM

CAP

The X12I is equipped with a dedicated Restricted


Capacity Advisory Alarm (Warning) indication. This
indication will flash if all available compressors are
loaded and further capacity is required but one or more,
compressors are:
a) inhibited from use in a Table priority setting
b) inhibited from use by the short-term Service /
Maintenance function
c) inhibited from use in the long term maintenance menu.
The Restricted Capacity advisory alarm is intended to
indicate that all available compressors are already loaded
and further capacity is required but one or more, system
compressor(s) have been restricted from use.
The Restricted Capacity advisory alarm is not recorded
in the fault history log but is included as a Group Alarm
(Warning), or Group Fault item.
Restricted Capacity is available as a dedicated data
communications item.
The restricted capacity advisory alarm function can
be de-activated. In this instance the units alarm indicator
will still flash but no group alarm, group fault, or a remote
indication is generated.

ALTERNATE CONTROL STRATEGIES


Energy Control Mode (ENER) is the STANDARD control
mode of the X12I. Alternate control strategies of the X12I
are EHR (Equal Hours Run) and the basic FILO (First in /
Last Out).
EHR: EQUAL HOURS RUN MODE
The primary function of EHR mode is to maintain a close
relationship between the running hours of each
compressor in the system. This provides an opportunity
to service all compressors at the same time (providing
the service interval times for all compressors are the
same or similar).

The running hours meter display on most


compressors are intended for approximate service
interval indication only and may deviate in accuracy over
a period of time.
EHR Control:
Compressors are utilized, in response to changing
demand, using a FILO (First In, Last Out) strategy. The
duty compressor (A) is utilized first followed by (B) if
demand is greater than the output capacity of (A). As
demand increases (C) is utilized followed by (D) if
demand increases further. As demand reduces (D) is the
first compressor to be unloaded, followed by (C) and then
(B) if demand continuous to reduce. The last compressor
to be unloaded, if demand reduces significantly, is (A).
The compressor assigned as (A) in the sequence is the
first to be loaded and the last to be unloaded.

EHR is not an energy efficient focused mode of


operation.
EHR Rotation:
Each time the rotation interval elapses, or the rotation
time is reached, the sequence order of compressors is
reviewed and re-arranged dependant on the running
hours recorded for each compressor. The compressor
with the least recorded running hours is assigned as the
duty compressor, the compressor with the greatest
recorded running hours is assigned as the last standby
compressor. For systems with more than two
compressors, the remaining compressor(s) are assigned
in accordance with their recorded running hours in the
same way.
Example: The compressors in a four-compressor system
have the following recorded running hours at the
Rotation time.
Compressor 1 = 2200 hrs
Compressor 2 = 2150 hrs
Compressor 3 = 2020 hrs
Compressor 4 = 2180 hrs
The new sequence order arrangement after a rotation
event would be:
Compressor 1 = D
Compressor 2 = B
Compressor 3 = A
Compressor 4 = C
Compressor 3, which has the least recorded running
hours, will now be utilized to a greater extent in the new
sequence arrangement; potentially increasing the running
hours at a faster rate.
The X12I continuously monitors the running status of
each compressor and maintains a record of the
accumulated running hours. These are available, and
adjustable, in the X12Is compressor running hours
menu. The X12I uses these values in EHR mode. The
X12Is running hours record should be routinely checked,
and adjusted if necessary, to ensure a close match with
the actual run hours displayed on each compressor.
If a compressor is operated independently from the
X12I the running hours record may not be accurately
updated.

FILO: TIMER ROTATION MODE


The primary function of Timer Rotation mode is to
efficiently operate a compressed air system consisting of
fixed capacity output compressors. The routine rotation
assignments can be modified using Priority settings to
accommodate for a differentially sized or variable
capacity output compressor(s).
FILO Rotation:
Each time the rotation interval elapses, or the rotation
time is reached, a sequence rotation occurs and the
sequence assignment for each compressor is rearranged. The compressor that was assigned for duty (A)
is re-assigned as last standby (D) and all other
compressor assignments are incremented by one.

The sequence assignment pattern can be modified by

Tables; Priority Settings
FILO Control:
Compressors are utilized, in response to changing
demand, using a FILO (First In, Last Out) strategy.
The duty compressor (A) is utilized first followed by (B) if
demand is greater than the output capacity of (A). As
demand increases (C) is utilized followed by (D) if
demand increases further.
As demand reduces (D) is the first compressor to be
unloaded, followed by (C) and then (B) if demand
continues to reduce.
The last compressor to be unloaded, if demand reduces
significantly, is (A). The compressor assigned as (A) in
the sequence is the first to be loaded and the last to be
unloaded.

ADDITIONAL CONTROL FEATURES AND


FUNCTIONALITY
PRESSURE BALANCE FUNCTION

ZONE CONTROL FUNCTION


Compressors can be assigned to one of three zones.
The X12I will always attempt to balance utilization across
the zones to maintain, as near as possible, an equal
number of utilized compressors in each zone.

rP1
P
rP2

1
3

This function is intended for installations that have


multiple areas of compressor(s) distributed across a site.
In some instances, large pressure differentials can
develop in remote areas of an air network if air
generation is concentrated in one area. The aim of the
zone function is to facilitate a balanced pressure across
a site air network by ensuring air generation is
distributed.
The zone function will operate with all available
sequence strategy modes and will work in conjunction
with the priority and/or pressure balance function.

The X12I has the capability to monitor up to two remote


pressures values. These remote pressures can be
integrated with the primary X12I System pressure value,
using one of three available functions, to produce a
calculated balanced system pressure for system
pressure control. The three functions to control from are:
The lowest pressure
The highest pressure
An average of the X12I and the remote pressures
These pressure values can be obtained from Ingersoll
Rand compressor controllers, compressor management
boxes or I/O Boxes.
This function can be used to control to a balanced
system pressure across an air system that has multiple
remote compressor rooms and/or where pressure
differentials across an air system might vary.

The priority function will override zone control


where a conflict in compressor selection occurs. This
may result in unexpected compressor utilization; this
should not be considered abnormal.
The zone function can modify compressor selection
when using Energy Control mode. This may
compromise optimum system efficiency in some
instances use zone control with caution where system
efficiency is important.

29

START FUNCTION:
The Start function enables auxiliary equipment to be
pre-started prior to utilization of any compressors. The
function also monitors the auxiliary equipment during
normal running operation.

VIRTUAL RELAY AUTOMATION


The X12I is equipped with Virtual Relay Automation.
The Virtual Relay concept is a configurable system-wide
automation system. The concept allows output relay
functions to be configured to respond to any virtual relay
condition, status or signal function available in the unit or
from another compatible unit on the system network.
Consult the X-Series Virtual Relay Automation
Manual for information regarding the use of Virtual Relay
Automation.

At system start-up (manual start or automated start from


standby) any output relay set for the Start function will
energize. The management system will then wait for the
set Start time before utilizing any system compressors.
During this time the management system expects to
receive a feedback on the Start Function Feedback
Input. The management system response to the
feedback is dependent on the selected Start function.
If feedback is not received by the end for the Start time
the management unit can be set to display an Alarm
(Warning) and continue, or Shutdown.

Virtual Relay Automation

If, at any time during normal operation, the feedback


signal disappears the management unit can be set to
display an Alarm (Warning) and continue, or Shutdown.
This function is intended for automated control and
monitoring of auxiliary equipment critical to air
compressor system operation; air dryer(s) or cooling
water pump(s) for example.

o If PH in Table 1 (T01) is set for 100
PSI, and PH in Table 2 (T02) is set for
110 and TO is set for 3.0 PSI, then the
lowest Maximum Pressure Setpoint
would be 116 PSI.

S02 - CF
Stop Control Function

of the compressors when the X12I is stopped. The
default setting for this parameter is . (Represents the
Stop Control Function is disabled) The values for this
parameter are:
= Stop: return pressure control to the
compressors.
= Standby: maintain control and continuously
hold compressors off load.

S02 - NC
Number of Compressors
This parameter sets the number of compressors
connected to, and controlled by, the X12I. This value
must be set to match the system at commissioning. The
default setting for this parameter is 4. The values for this
parameter are:

1 for 1 compressor

2 for 2 compressors

3 for 3 compressors

4 for 4 compressors

To

12 for 12 compressors

S02 - TO
Tolerance
This parameter sets the pressure control Tolerance
band setting. The Tolerance Band setting is a pressure
band above and below the Load and Unload pressure
band. This accommodates for an instance of abrupt
and/or significant increase or decrease in demand
without compromise to optimal energy efficient control.
The X12I incorporates a Rate of Change algorithm in the
Tolerance Band to determine when a compressor should
be Loaded or Unloaded. The default setting for this
parameter is 3.0 PSI (.2 Bar) The values for this
parameter are:
1.4 PSI (.1 Bar) for the minimum Tolerance Band
29.0 PSI (2 Bar) for the maximum Tolerance Band

If air system storage is generous, the rate of the


pressure change is slow, and/or demand
fluctuations are insignificant and gradual, then
the Tolerance band can be decreased to
improve pressure control without compromise to
optimum energy efficiency. As the Tolerance
Band is decreased, the Loading and Unloading
of compressors while in the band is more rapid.
If air system storage is inadequate, the rate of
the pressure change is fast, and/or demand
fluctuations are significantly large, the
Tolerance band can be increased to maintain
optimum energy efficiency, and reduce overreaction, during such transition periods. As the
Tolerance Band is increased, the Loading and
Unloading of compressors while in the band is
less rapid.

49

S02 - DA
Damping
This parameter sets the pressure control Damping
setting. Changing this parameter adjusts the time before
an additional compressor is loaded in accordance with
the urgency of the situation to increase air system
capacity further. The X12I has a dynamic reaction
algorithm that is pre-set by default to accommodate for
the majority of installation characteristics. If an increase
or decrease in the Tolerance band is insufficient, the
reaction response can be influenced by increasing or
decreasing the Damping factor. The default setting for
this parameter is 1.0. The values for this parameter are:
.1 TO 10
.1, the fastest Damping reaction time (10 times
faster than the default of 1.0)
10.0, the slowest Damping reaction time (10 times
slower than the default of 1.0).

If air system storage is generous and the rate of


the pressure change is slow to rise, then the
Damping can be increased to improve pressure
control without compromise to optimum energy
efficiency. As the Dampening value is
increased, the Loading of additional
compressors is less rapid.
If air system storage is inadequate and the rate
of the pressure change is fast to fall, then the
Damping can be decreased to improve
pressure control without compromise to
optimum energy efficiency. As the Damping
value is decreased, the Loading of additional
compressors is more rapid.

Damping also performs one more important function that


can arise in a system. When the system pressure
achieves stability in a position that may be outside of the
dead band but inside the tolerance band it will be allowed
to remain in this situation for a predefined amount of
time. This time limit depends on how far away from the
dead band the system pressure has stabilized. This
time limit is calculated as 30 min times the damping
constant at the top of the tolerance band and as 1 min
times the damping constant at the bottom of the
tolerance band.

pressure equal too, or greater than, the nominal
system working pressure is recommended.
The detected pressure is displayed with the
calibration menu item and will change to match the new
calibration setting as the setting is adjusted.
There is no need for the applied pressure to be
static; it can be dynamic and changing. This enables
calibration to be carried out on a fully operational system
where changing system pressure can be accurately
verified from another source.
Correct pressure sensor set-up and calibration is
critical for successful system operation. It is
recommended that pressure sensor calibration is
examined, and adjusted if necessary, annually or a predetermined routine periodic basis.

Dewpoint Sensor Calibration Procedure:
1) Commissioning
Set the Offset (minimum) to match the sensor
temperature scale at 4mA signal level and the Range
(maximum) to the temperature value for the sensor at
20mA signal level.
For example: if the dewpoint sensor is 68oF at 4mA and 112oF at 20mA, set the offset to 68 and the range to 112.
2) Calibration
It is typically impractical to be able to expose a dewpoint
sensor to minimum and maximum scale temperatures at
installation site. Calibration will be dependent on data
quoted on the sensor calibration certificate for 4mA and
20mA signal output levels. Adjust the offset and range
settings to suit if necessary.
The detected temperature is displayed with the
calibration menu item and will change to match the new
calibration setting as the setting is adjusted.
To disable the dewpoint sensor monitoring feature
set the offset and range to 0(zero).

1) Commissioning
Initially set the Offset (minimum) to 0(zero) and the
Range(maximum) to the flow value for the sensor at full
scale (20mA).
Execute the calibration procedure.
2) Calibration Procedure
a) Offset: Ensure no air flow is being detected by the
sensor and adjust the offset setting (if necessary) until
the detected flow display shows 0(zero) flow.
b) Range: Subject the sensor to an accurately know flow
rate and adjust the Range setting until the detected flow
display matches the known flow rate.
The detected flow rate is displayed with the
calibration menu item and will change to match the new
calibration setting as the setting is adjusted.
To disable the air flow sensor monitoring feature set
the offset and range to 0(zero).

Aux Pressure #2 Deviation Limit

Sets a +/- pressure tolerance limit that the second


remote pressure can deviate from the detected local
primary pressure. If the first remote pressure exceeds
this limit it is ignored and not included in the final control
pressure calculation.
For example:
If D2 is set for 3 psi, and the second remote pressure is 4
psi above or below the primary pressure, the second
remote pressure is ignored and not used in balanced
control pressure calculations.
S05 D+Max +(plus) Aux Pressure Deviation
Sets a limit that the calculated balanced pressure can
deviate above the primary detected pressure. The
calculated balanced pressure is restricted from
exceeding this limit.

For example:
If D1 is set for 3 psi, and the first remote pressure is 4

For example:
If D+ is set for 2 psi, the resulting calculated balanced
pressure (in accordance with the set function) is
prevented from exceeding more than 2psi above the
detected primary pressure.
S05 D- Max (minus) Aux Pressure Deviation
Sets a limit that the calculated balanced pressure can
deviate below the primary detected pressure. The
calculated balanced pressure is restricted from

For example:
If D- is set for 2 psi, the resulting calculated balanced
pressure (in accordance with the set function) is

(IRV-485). Not shown for other types.

For ir-PCB connectivity applications the voltage


detection function for the ir-PCB Alarm (Warning) input
can be inverted.

The minimum output capacity of a variable output


compressor must be set as a percentage of the
compressors maximum output scaled in accordance
with the % maximum capacity output value. Minimum
output capacity is regarded as the output capacity at the
lowest possible speed (variable speed compressor) or
the minimal output achievable (stepping or other variable
regulation control).

% Maximum Output Capacity


The maximum output capacity of each compressor must
be set as a percentage with reference to the highest
output capacity (the largest) compressor in the system.
The highest output capacity compressor must be
assigned with 100% capacity. Equal capacity (equal
sized) compressors should be assigned the same %
capacity value. Calculate the output capacity of
compressor(s) that are smaller than the largest in the
system as a percentage of the largest in the system.
For example:
Compressor 1 700 cfm
Compressor 2
700 cfm
Compressor 3
420 cfm
Compressor 4
420 cfm
Compressor 5 350 cfm
Compressor 6
175 cfm

For example 1:
For a variable speed compressor that has been assigned
a maximum capacity output percentage of 100%, and is
able to reduce speed to 30% of maximum speed:
Minimum Output Capacity = 30% (related to the largest
capacity)
Example Compressor 1 is a VSD
Max CFM = 700
Max Output Capacity 700/700 = 100%
Min CFM = 210 (30% or 700 x .30)

100%
100%
60%
60 %
50%
25%

Min Output Capacity 210/700 = 30% (or 30% x 100% =


30%)
For example 2:
For a variable speed compressor that has been assigned
a maximum capacity output percentage of 60% (related
to the largest capacity), and is able to reduce speed to
30% of maximum speed:
Example Compressor 4 is a VSD:
Max CFM = 420
Max Output Capacity 420/700 = 60%
Min CFM = 127 (30% or 420 x .30)
Min Output Capacity 127/700 = 18% (or 30% x 60% =
18%)
For example 3:
For a 3-step (0/50/100%) reciprocating compressor that
has been assigned a maximum capacity output
percentage of 60%, the minimum output capacity is the
half-output regulation step:
Minimum Output Capacity = 30%

57

% Minimum Efficiency

Only applicable for a variable output compressor


(IRV-485). Not shown for other types.

output at a higher efficiency.

The percentage value is directly related, and scaled, to

Zone Control
For example 1:
Example: A Compressor is a VSD:
Max CFM = 420 (Largest Compressor is 700 CFM)
Max Output Capacity 420/700 = 60%
Min CFM = 127 (30% or 420 x .30)
Min Output Capacity 127/700 = 18% (or 30% x 60% =
18%)
If another compressor in the system is able to provide
40% of the compressors full speed output more
efficiently, set the % Minimum Efficiency value to 24%
(40% x 60%). This percentage value represents 40% of
the full speed output of the compressor scaled to System
capacity.

Zone Control
C04 01 to C04 n
n = number of compressors in the system. 12 is the
maximum number of compressors for the X12I
Each compressor in a system can be assigned to
one of three zones.
This parameter is set to select which Zone each of the
compressors will be assigned to. The default setting for
this parameter is 1. The values for this parameter are:
1 to 3 for 3 different Zones
To inhibit zone control, set all compressors to zone
1.

When the compressor is detected as operating below the


% Minimum Efficiency value for a period of time the X12I
will immediately re-evaluate utilization and re-configure, if
possible, to utilize a the smaller capacity, more efficient
compressor, or combination of compressors. This
process is automatic and executed dynamically in
accordance with prevailing operational conditions at the
time. The ENER control mode algorithms will eventually
conclude the best compressor fit without this parameter;
the % Minimum Efficiency input will speed up this
process.
The intent of this feature is to always operate the
smallest, most efficient compressor and to prevent a
variable output capacity compressor operating at minimal
speed, or minimal output, for prolonged periods of time.
Generally a variable output compressor operating at
minimal capacity is less efficient than a smaller capacity
compressor that is able to achieve the same output at
higher, or maximum, output capacity.

SECTION 9 - VIRTUAL RELAY AUTOMATION


The Virtual Relay concept is a configurable
system wide automation system.
The Virtual Relay concept allows output relay functions
to be configured to respond to any virtual relay
condition, status or signal function available in the unit or
from another compatible unit on the system network.
Virtual Relay Input Functions:
All compatible units have a comprehensive selection of
fixed condition, status or signal virtual relay input
functions appropriate to the product application. All input
functions are available for local use on the unit, and an
appropriate selection is made available to other remote
system units on the network.
Each virtual relay input function within a unit is defined to
a specific condition. For example: input function Rn =
the unit is running.
If the unit is running the condition of input function
Rn will be True; usually expressed as 1 in logical
notation.
If the unit is not running the condition of input function
Rn will be False; usually expressed as 0 in logical
notation.
Virtual Relays:
Virtual relays are software equivalents (virtual
representations) of real relays. These relays function in
software only and do not physically exist on the unit. Any
virtual relay input function can be selected as an input
that will energise a virtual relay. The output state of the
virtual relay is represented in software as ON (True or 1)
or OFF (False or 0). The virtual relay output state can be
selected as input for any other virtual relay and/or
operate a real physical relay.
Compatible units are equipped with 16 configurable
virtual relays. Each relay can be separately configured.
The unit will also be equipped with one, or more, real
physical relay outputs; the volt-free contacts of which are
available on the units wire connection terminals. The real
physical relay(s) will respond to the operation of the
equivalent virtual relay.

For example: Relay output #1 will operate in exact


accordance with virtual relay #1. To define the function
and operation of relay output #1, configure the function
and operation of Virtual Relay #1. In this respect, the
existence of a physical relay #1 on the unit makes virtual
relay #1 REAL.
Example:
Virtual relay #1 can be assigned with the Rn virtual relay
function as input. This can be envisaged as the Rn
function providing the virtual power to the coil of the
Virtual Relay.

Rn

Rn
Rn = 0

Rn = 1

If the unit is not running and the Rn function is false the


output of virtual relay #1 will be false or 0; when the unit
is running the output will be true or 1.
If the virtual relay has an equivalent real physical
output relay on the unit (for example: auxiliary output
relay #1 or output relay R1), the relay coil of R1 will
actually energise and de-energise in unison with the
output statue of virtual relay #1. If virtual relay #1 is
configured to respond to the Rn function, R1 will
energise when Rn is true or 1, and de-energise when
Rn is false or 0.

Rn

R1

Rn = 0

Rn

R1

Rn = 1

Some units are equipped with several real physical relay


outputs; relays R1, R2, R3 and R4 for example. In this
instance these relays will respond to the configuration of
virtual relays 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively; virtual relays 5
to 16 remaining totally virtual.
Virtual relays that do not have associated real physical
relays can be used to perform function logic on standard
input functions and act as customised input functions for
other virtual relays; local or remote.

Logic Function:
Virtual relays have the capability to accept two input
functions and apply logic to determine the appropriate
output response:
1)

Defining a Function:
The input function for a virtual relay is defined by a 7
alphanumeric character selection that consists of four
parts:

Fn = A - - -

The local or remote setting cannot be adjusted manually;


it will automatically change as the system unit is defined.
The local L or remote R character indicates if the
function information is being generated locally within the
unit or remotely from another unit on the network.
Local
Remote

L
R

It is important to be aware if the function information


is being generated and transmitted on the network from a
remote unit.
1) There may be a delay of several seconds for
function information from a remote unit to be
transmitted and received by the local unit. A virtual
relay acting on remotely generated function
information will not respond instantaneously to a
change in actual function state.
2) If the remote unit becomes unavailable, or network
communications is disrupted, the function
information will no longer be available. Each virtual
relay has a setting to take this event in to
consideration.

Unit Emergency Stop:
The Emergency Stop function of a unit (nonstandard option) will de-energise all real physical output
relays, regardless of configuration or function.
Special Function Virtual Relays:

In addition to the standard virtual relays there are other


special function virtual relays available; dependent on
unit type.
These include timer relays, pulse relays and specialised
compressor status monitoring relays. All special function
virtual relays have no direct association with any real
physical output on a unit but can act as input functions
for any other local virtual relay.

SECTION 11 X12I FAULT INDICATIONS


Compressor fault conditions are displayed by the
compressor indicators and in the user menu status
screen. Compressor fault conditions are not regarded as
X12I unit fault conditions.
Compressor Status Symbols and Compressor
Status Indicators
Fault Codes
Fault codes are separated into unit faults ERR and
system Alarms (Warning) SYS.
ERR: Unit faults are errors with the X12I controller itself
and are all conditions that prevent normal operation from
continuing.
SYS: System faults are items that arise from conditions
external to the X12I controller; the X12I itself continues to
function correctly.
There are two types of Fault condition:
Alarm (Warning)

The Fault LED will slow flash to indicate an Alarm
(Warning) condition. An Alarm (Warning) indicates that
the X12I is continuing with normal operation but user
attention is required. All Alarm (Warning) conditions are
registered in the X12I Error Log. All Alarm (Warning)
conditions must be manually reset.

The first error information display shows:

Trip (Shutdown)

1sec

The Fault LED will fast flash to indicate a Trip


(Shutdown) condition. A Trip (Shutdown) condition will
stop normal operation of the X12I. Pressure regulation
control will automatically revert to the individual
compressors that will continue to operate using the
pressure settings for their own control systems. All Trip
(Shutdown) conditions are registered in the X12I Error
Log. All Trip (Shutdown) conditions must be manually
reset.

INTERNAL CONTROLLER FAULT E


CODES
E code errors are specific to the units internal to
controller digital logic circuits and will only occur in
the most exceptional of circumstances.
All E code conditions are Trip (Shutdown) type
faults. The Fault (red) LED will fast flash and the
condition is registered in the Error Log. If an E code
fault condition persists, consult your product
supplier for advice or renew the units controller.

E0836: PLL Unlock; Internal failure or excessively high


external electrical interference detected.
The main timing circuit (processor clock) has been
disrupted and the processor is running on an internal to
chip back-up clock. The back-up clock is intended to
keep the processor running, at a much slower processing
speed, to enable emergency actions to be taken. The
controller is unable to continue running the main software
application in this condition.
The unit will Shutdown; compressors will continue to
operate using local pressure regulation.
The controllers main power supply must be removed and
re-applied to reset this condition.
E0866: Controller internal power supply fault
The low voltage logic processing power supply, internal
to the units controller, is below minimum operational
levels; internal to controller fault. Renew the controller if
this fault condition persists. The Trip must be manually
reset from the keypad.
E5000: Internal memory map error
The units controller has detected disruption to the
internal operational memory storage (RAM). The integrity
of the RAM memory contents are suspect; the controller
must be reset to clear and re-map the memory. Renew
the controller if this fault condition persists.
The controllers main power supply must be removed and
re-applied to reset this condition.

E5001: Internal memory failure


The units controller has detected disruption to the
internal permanent application memory storage (FLASH).
The integrity of the FLASH memory contents is suspect.
Re-load the main application software in the first
instance; re-new the controller if the condition persists.
The controllers main power supply must be removed and
re-applied to reset this condition.
