General Information The Unit Control Modules (UCMs) described in this troubleshooting guide provide a microprocessor based refrigeration control system, intended for use with Trane 70-125 ton helical rotor chillers. Six types of modules are used, and throughout this publication will be referred to by their abbreviations or their Line Wiring Drawing Designations, see Table 1.

General Information System Description The CPM is the master module and coordinates operation of the entire system. One is used per chiller. The MCSP is a compressor protection module with one being used for each of the compressors in the chiller. The EXV is the expansion valve controller module which controls two Electronic Expansion Valves. There is one valve on each of the two refrigeration circuits. The CLD is a two line, 40 character alphanumeric interface to the system. It allows the

General Information Real time data for temperatures, diagnostics and control algorithms etc. are made available to the CPM and the other modules for display and for input to higher level functions. See Electronic Expansion Valve Module (EXV) (1U3) on page 58 for details. Options Module (CSR) 1U2 The CSR module is an optional part of the system and employs communica- tions circuits for interface to Trane Building Automation Systems, done through 1C17. The CSR also provides inputs for hard wir

Interprocessor Communications The respective modules communicate with each other via an InterProcessor Communication link (IPC). The IPC allows the modules to work in a coordi- nated manner with the CPM directing overall chiller operation while each module handles specific subfunctions. This IPC link is integral and necessary to the operation of the Unit Controls and should not be confused with the Optional ICS (Integrated Comfort System) communication. In the IPC communication protocol sche

Interprocessor Communication from the Options Module. When some problem exists with the IPC link or a module fails, it is not uncommon for more than one of these IPC diagnostics to be displayed. Note that only those diagnostics that are indicated to be active currently exist. All other historic diagnostics should be disregarded for the purpose of the following troubleshooting discussion. See RTAA-IOM-4 for a complete listing of diagnostics. Troubleshooting Modules Using IPC Diagnostics WA

There are a large number of possible combinations of diagnostics. One must deduce what is causing the problem using all available information.

Temperature Sensor Checkout With the exception of the thermostats located in the motor windings of the screw compressors, all the temperature sensors used on the UCMs are negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. The thermistors employed all have a base resistance of 10 Kohms at 77F (25C) and display a decreasing resistance with an increasing temperature. The UCMs “read” the temperature by measuring the voltage developed across the thermistors in a voltage divider arrangement wit

Temperature Sensor Checkout 4. Again measure the temperature at the sensor with an accurate thermom- eter; record the temperature reading observed. 5. Remove the sensor leads from the terminal strip or unplug the respective MTA. Measure the resistance of the sensor directly or probe the MTA with a digital volt-ohmmeter. Record the resistance observed. 6. Next, with the sensor still disconnected from the module, check the resistance from each of the sensor leads to the control panel chassis.

Compressor Operation This feature is called the Auto Lead/Lag and can be found in the Service Settings Group, under the “Balanced CPRSR Starts and Hours” menu. When this function is disabled, the UCM always starts compressor “A” first. When this function is enabled, the following occurs: The UCM equalizes operating starts and hours. This will cause the compressor with the least amount of starts to be started first. When a compressor starts, it is always started unloaded. When a compressor i

Compressor Start/Stop To start a compressor after either a “normal' shutdown, a Diagnostic reset, or power-on-reset, the following sequence will occur: 1. On a call for a compressor, the Restart Inhibit Timer will time out, if any time remains. 2. The EXV is positioned to the initial closed start position. At the same time, the unload solenoid is energized and the load solenoid is de-ener- gized. Timing is determined by the time required to position the EXV 3. After the EXV is positioned: � t
