1. SYSTEM HARDWARE
This chapter describes the essential parts that make up the system, any accessories, their connection and their
functions.
The software, described successively, only uses the system potentialities necessary for its functioning, even if
the complete system is described in this part of the manual
1.1 Hardware pCO5

5 3
pCO is a microprocessor electronic control compatible with the pCO family, both at the hardware and the
software level.
5
pCO is dedicated to executing the regulation program and is equipped with a set of clamps necessary for the
connection towards the devices (compressors, fans...). The programme and parameters are saved on FLASH-
MEMORY and E2prom, making it possible to keep them even when without power, without needing a
maintenance battery.
5
pCO allows connection to the local pLAN network (pCO Local Area Network) and can also be connected to,
5
besides other pCO , all other controllers for the pCO system and all other terminals in the pGD family. Every
controller on the pLAN network can exchange any variable, digital or analogue, depending on the application
used.
5 3
pCO has two additional built-in RS485 serial connections compared to pCO , one for the FieldBus and the other
one for supervision/remote assistance (BMS).
The connection towards the BMS serial line with the CAREL or Modbus communication protocol, according to
5
the RS485 standard, is achieved by inserting an optional serial board on the pCO or through a built-in serial
port.
Using other optional boards, it is possible to connect to a supervisor with standards different from RS485.
Finally, the FieldBus serial ports, using the optional or built-in board, it is possible to connect towards devices
controlled in the field (for example: valves, I/O pCOe expansions, external driver for electronic valve).
The available versions are: SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE and EXTRA LARGE. The difference in size of the boards
is determined by the number of inputs and outputs present.

Notes:
- the two 230/24 Vac inputs present on J8 and J12, have the same common pole and are therefore both at 24
Vac/Vdc or 230 Vac. There is double isolation between the two inputs and the rest of the control.
- if the digital input is in continuous (Vdc), connecting the + or the - to the common (IDC1) is indifferent.
- capacity of the external contact of the digital inputs must be at least equal to 5 mA.
- as much as possible separate the cables of the probe signals and the digital inputs from the cables related to
the inductive and power loads, in order to avoid electromagnetic disturbance as much as possible.

Note: for powering any active probes, it is possible to use the 21 Vdc available on the +Vdc (J2) clamp,
maximum current is 150 mA protected against short circuiting. For powering the ratiometric probes 0…5 V it
uses the +5VREF (Imax: 60 mA) present on the J24 clamp. Exclusively use these voltages to power active

Notes:
- At an analogue output 0...10 Vdc type it is possible to connect other outputs of the same type in parallel, or use
external voltage.
The resulting voltage is the greater one. Operation is not guaranteed if connecting actuators with powered input.
Power the VG-VG0 analogue outputs with the same voltage present on G-G0: Connect G to VG and G0 to VG0.
This is valid both for alternate and continuous power supply.
- For phase cutting outputs (PWM) one must note that the synchronism (zero crossing) is taken from G/G0 and
only with 24 Vac power supply and not Vdc.

The relay outputs have different characteristics that depend on the pCO model.
The outputs can be divided into groups. Between group and group (cell-cell of
table) there is double insulation and therefore they can have different voltages.
There is also double insulation between each terminal of the digital outputs and
Isolation distance
the rest of the controller.
Relays belonging to the same group (single cells in the table) have a main
insulation and therefore must be subject to the same power supply voltage (24 or
230 Vac).

Note the presence of outputs with exchange contact kept separate (i.e. without shared poles between distinct
outputs). The groups from 3 outputs include 2 "common" clamps to make wiring easier.
Pay attention to current circulating in the common clamps since the same must not exceed nominal current of a
single clamp, i.e. 8 A. Minimum relay contact current: 50 mA.

1.9 Serial communication
1.9.1 General description

In the pCO5 there are three types of serial ports: pLAN, FieldBus, BMS. The Fieldbus RS485 serial port has
Master type hardware, while the BMS RS485 serial port has Slave type hardware.
The protocols to be used on the RS485 Fieldbus port are, due to the nature of the port, Master type (Carel
Master or Modbus RTU Master), even if they can be used in particular cases with the Slave type ones (Carel
Slave or Modbus RTU Slave), with the necessary measures. In the same way on the BMS RS485 port, the
protocols to be used are Slave type, even is by taking the appropriate measures it is possible to have Master
type protocols.
3 5
Compared to pCO , the pCO boards have a second serial port (BMS2) on the J25 connector and a second
FieldBus port on connector J26 (FBus2).
5
The pCO boards in the Large and Extra large version still has a J23 connector and has the wording FBus2 as
for the J26 connector. From the point of view of management from the application, 1Tool is in fact the same
serial port and one must use different addresses for devices to be connected to the two connectors while, from
the electrical point of view, the ports are independent (an electrical malfunction of the J26 port does not influence
the J23 port).

1.9.2 Serial boards
Regarding connection to supervision and remote/assistance systems, it is possible to use the serial board with
PCOS004850 code, which allows to communicate using the "Carel" protocol or “Modbus-Jbus” RTU.
PCOS0004850 serial board

®
The control can be connected to a LonWorks network that uses the“Echelon” protocol in the FTT10 version at
78 kbs (TP/FT-10), by installing the PCO10000F0 serial board. The transmission speed must be set at
maximum at 4800
PCO10000F0 serial board
A further possibility in serial communication is the use of protocols from the HVAC world based on the Ethernet
physical standard by means of the PCO1000WB0 board.
This serial board allows the connection to local LAN networks or Internet, SNMP V1/2/3, BACnet TM EthernetTM,
IP, FTP and HTTP.
PCO1000WB0 serial board
The PCO1000BA0 board is necessary in order to use BACnet protocol in the RS485 version.
PCO1000BB0 serial board
13
If the serial protocol requested is CANbus, it is necessary to use the PCOS00HBB0 board
PCOS00HBBO serial board
Finally, it is possible to install the RS232 PCO100MDM0 board in the same output, in order to communicate with
a modem in GSM.
PCO100MDM0 serial board
Regarding the output dedicated to the field bus, the PCOS00HBF0 board is available, which uses CANbus
protocol to communicate with Carel hydronic systems.
PCOS00HBFO serial board
The PCO100TLN0 board can also be installed on the same output, which uses the Carel tLAN protocol
to communicate with other devices such as EVD*400 drivers for electronic expansion valves.

Finally, if it is necessary to use the same output to communicate with a modem, it is possible to install the
PCOS00FD20 serial board.
PCOS00FD20 serial board
15
The boards must be inserted into their housing, where an edge card connector is present.
To install them, remove the door identified on the control by "serial card" for the serial output dedicated to
supervision or remote-management or with "field card" for the output dedicated to the control of field devices.
5
When installing the serial board, it must be trapped between the two plastic rests to the pCO control container.
Once the board is inserted, the door must be re-positioned making the board connector exposed align with the
pre-cut hole of the door itself.
More detailed instructions are given in the documentation present with each board.
16
1.10 pCOe expansion board
The pCOe expansion board is an electronic device that is part of the pCO system family and was designed in
order to facilitate an I/O increase of pCO controllers.
There are 2 versions, one for tLAN connection and the other one for RS485 serial connection (Carel or Modbus
protocol).
It does not need any specific configuration in order to operate with the pCO system.

1.12 Addressing the components of the pLAN network

5
All components, i.e. pCO boards and terminals, are distinguished inside the pLAN network by their address.
As well as the network component address setting it is also necessary to address the terminals at board reading.
The terminals must be only able to read the Master boards, where operational parameters are set, while the
Slave boards are used exclusively by the Master to make use of its inputs and outputs.
19
A master board and a terminal represent the indispensable components for unit functioning and constitute the
start-up elements of a network.
The presence or not of a Slave board depends on the functions enabled in the configuration phase on the unit
Master board and the type of application used.
1.12.1 Address of the boards

All of the boards for controlling the unit must have an address to be identified inside the network, whether they
are boards functioning as Master, Slave and if they are envisioned as expansions.
5
The addressing of the pCO takes place via a software procedure using a terminal.
The terminal used to address the board must have its own pLAN address set at "0". This operation must be
performed to enable access of the terminal to the boards addressing procedure.
For address in the terminal to "0" see par. 1.12.2.
Power the board to be addressed electrically with a terminal connected, whose address must be set at "0". The
operation must be formed while holding the keys down
After a few seconds, the Carel default software present in the board to be addresses, sends the addressing
procedure and the mask shown below appears.
PLAN address: --
UP: increase
DOWN: decrease
ENTER : save & exit
5
The address of the pCO board must be set in the “--“ field.
Following the instructions contained in the mask, i.e. increasing the value using the UP ARROW key, decreasing
it with DOWN ARROW and confirming with ENTER one must modify the address of board according to the
function assigned in the unit control according to the pLAN table foreseen for application data.
1.12.2 Terminal addressing

Terminal addressing is necessary to recognise them on the network.
Using this procedure for each terminal it is defined if only one board must be read (private terminal), or if it can
read multiple boards (shared terminal).
To enable the configuration of a terminal, the keys shown in the figure must be held down for 5 seconds at the
same time.
The following mask appears after 5 seconds
Display address
Setting. . . . . :nn
I/O Board address:xx
20
The value "nn" in the second line, represents the current address of the terminal.
The value “xx” in the fourth line represents the address of the board read by the terminal. Only if the address
“nn” of the terminal is set at “00” this line does not appear.
Pressing the “ENTER” key, the cursor moves to the first field “nn”. At this point, use the UP and DOWN ARROW
keys to modify the value set, increasing it with the UP ARROW key and decreasing it with the DOWN ARROW
key.
If the value is modified and therefore the address of the terminal, after having pressed the ENTER key the
following mask will appear for confirmation and after a few instants the main menu mask will return to the
display.
Display address
Changed
To address the reading of the terminal and a determined board, it is necessary to repeat enabling of the
configuration procedure, as just described.
As seen, after the first time the ENTER key is pressed, the cursor shifts under the first “nn” field and the second
time it is pressed the cursor shifts under the “xx” field.
Using the arrow keys the board address field can now be modified that the terminal will read.
The values that appear are the board addresses present in the network at that time.
After the desired address has been selected and confirmed with the ENTER key, the following mask will appear.
Terminal Config
Press ENTER
to continue
By pressing ENTER again, the following mask will appear.
P:xx Adr Priv/Shared

Trm1 None –
Trm2 None –
Trm3 None – Ok?N
This mask must be interpreted and used as follows:

5
P:xx; Indicates the address of the pCO board that one is connected to;
Adr: Indicates the column in which the addresses of the terminals must be selected;
Priv/Shared: Indicates the column in which the user selects whether the terminal will be private or shared;
Trm1-2-3; These are the terminals to be configured;
None; It is where the address of the terminal to be managed is selected. The address must be
selected with the arrows. After having selected the address of the terminal by pressing
ENTER, pass to the next field;
--; In the fields of this column, for every terminal addresses, it must be decided whether it will be
the private "Pr" type or shared "Sh". The selection must be made with the arrows and will be
confirmed with the ENTER key;
21
Ok?N: After the selection has been completed, when the cursor shifts under the letter "N", with the
arrows change to "Y" and press the "ENTER key to confirm the configuration.
1.12.3 Network status

During network operation it is possible to see its state.
All terminals and connected power boards are displayed on a relevant mask with the symbols. The position of
the symbol identifies their address.
To access the network status mask, press the same keys used to access the terminals addressing masks for at
least 10 seconds.
The following mask will appear:
NetSTAT Term:xx
1 - - - - - - 8
9 - - - - - - 16
17 - - - - - - 26
25 - - - - - - 32
Press Enter to quit
T: xx; This is the address of the active terminal

enter to quit: press ENTER to exit the network status mask
In every line, the "-" symbols represent a useful address.

If the address belongs to a terminal instead of “-” the “” symbol will appear. If it belongs to a pCO power
board, the ““ ”symbol will appear.
Example 1:
1 - - - - - - - 8
9 - - - - - - - - 16
17 - - - -  - - - 24
25 - - - - - - - - 32
There is a power board with address of 1 and a private terminal with an address of 21 is present on the network.
1.13 Verifying the analogue inputs

The analogue inputs can be used to read 0/1V, 0.5/4.5V or 0/10V signals in voltage mode, 0/20 mA or 4/20 mA
in current mode or signals that change the ohmic value on temperature variation.
The following paragraphs provide some indications on how to verify that the probe works correctly or the input is
read correctly (via signal reading).
22
1.13.1 Active probes in voltage
To check the correct functioning of the live active probes, normally used to measure temperatures or humidity,
use a voltmeter to take a measurement between the “GND” clamps and the “Bn” clamp relative to the input
connected to the probe to be checked. Starting from this voltage value it is possible to check the
correspondence with the value read using the general formula:
(FSmax – FSmin) / (Smax – Smin ) x (Vmis – Smin) + FSmin = Xmis
where:
Maximum high full scale value of the probe in correspondence with the maximum input signal
FSmax =
accepted;
FSmin = Minimum high full scale value of the probe in correspondence with the minimum input signal accepted;
Smax = Maximum voltage value permitted by the input;
Smin = Minimum voltage value permitted by the input;
Vmis = Voltage value measured in Volts on the input;
Xmis = Value read on the control;
Example: Using a probe with work field from 0 bar to 45 bar with signal from 0.5 V to 4.5 V, and measuring
between the “GND” clamp and the 2.7Vdc input connected, the pressure read by the control will be:
(45 – 0) / (4.5 – 0.5) x (2.7 – 0.5) + 0 = 24.75 bar
The example refers to ratiometric pressure probes, the only ones live for which use in software is envisioned.
1.13.2 Active probes in current

To verify the correct functioning of the active probes in current mode normally used for measuring pressures,
place a voltmeter between the “GND” clamps and the “Bn” clamp of the relative input. The voltage drop that is
used to calculate the current on the input is detected
The calculation is obtained by applying the I = V / R formula, knowing that the input “R” impedance is 100 ohm.
Using the general formula seen in the previous paragraph and replacing the voltage value read with the current
calculated in the input, the following is obtained:
(FSmax – FSmin) / (Smax – Smin ) x (Vmis/100 – Smin) + FSmin = Xmis
Example: Using a probe with work field from 0 bar to 30 bar with signal from 4 to 20 mA, and measuring
between the “GND” clamp and the 15.2. Vdc input connected, the pressure read by the control should be:
(30 – 0) / (0.2 – 0.04) x (15.2 / 100 – 0.04) + 0 = 21.0 bar
23
1.13.3 “NTC” and PT1000 passive probes
NTC probes are used to read the temperature. NTC for high temperatures and PT1000, which vary the value of
their own electric heater on variation of that by the temperature.
Disconnecting the probe from the input and measuring its resistance using a multicenter, it will be possible to
trace the value read.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM FUNCTIONING
2.1 General
The possibility or necessity of connecting several chiller units in the same system, the predominant part of which
exploits the cooling cycle for the production of cold water, requires a system which can manage them rationally
and efficiently.
In the large majority of cases, they are very simple managements which require connection in parallel of a few
units which are equal both in operation and power. However even in these cases, a centralised management
equipped with advanced logic optimises the system.
On the other hand appropriate management for more complex systems is almost essential, where chiller units
with different power outputs and various steps of capacity are linked together on the same hydraulic circuit,
perhaps coupled to dry coolers to use the free cooling functions when the outside conditions allow it.
There are specific products on the market for complete management of complex technical systems called BMS
(building management systems), but the final customer can consider these excessively sophisticated and
expensive for this purpose.
The Boss-Runner system instead is a very simple and immediate system for managing complex plants,
perfectly and fully integrated with Blue Box chiller unit software.
The present FLBB0mBR05 application is an evolution of the first FLBB0mBR0 for Boss-Runner systems, having
modified/improved interaction between Boss and the Runners and having implemented new and advanced
functions ever more on-demand by customers today.
2.2 Definitions
The Boss-Runner system defined above consists in the following elements:
The Boss:
It is the element which manages the system for production of cold water according to the efficiency and
rationality logics defined by the user. The system can have only one Boss; it consists of an appropriately set and
5
wired pCO hardware and cannot coincide with a chiller unit.
The Runners:
These are the chiller units used to cool water. The network managed by Boss can have a maximum of twelve
Runners.
Pumps:
The Boss manages a maximum of two pumps in the system, one acting as a reserve to the other, for circulation
of water, possibly controlled by an inverter in order to provide the individual Runners with a constant water flow
rate even though one or more Runners are excluded hydraulically.
Inverter:
The pumps in the system managed by Boss can be controlled by an inverter. The inverter makes it possible to
modulate the water flow rate of the pumps according to real needs of the system, ensuring a constant water flow
rate regardless of the number of Runners active and thus rationalising energy consumption of the pumps.
Return temperature probe:

This is the probe installed on the piping returning to the system which allows the Boss to read the temperature
of the chilled water.
The value is used to activate the free cooling function, if enabled, for example.
Supply temperature probe:

This is the probe installed on the supply pipe of the hydraulic system which allows the Boss to read the
temperature of the chilled water produced by the chiller units. This value is used to activate or deactivate the
power steps of the Runners.
25
Air probe:
The air probe allows the Boss to read the external air temperature. The value of this probe allows the Boss to
enable the free cooling function, if foreseen, aside from the possibility of compensating the set-point according to
a logic defined by the user.
By-pass valve:
Ensures the maximum water circulation in the system when all the Runners are excluded hydraulically (e.g. to
reach the set-point).
Runners' on-off valves:

Today the Runner can control a solenoid valve to allow water to pass only when the Boss so requires.
Dry Cooler:
Water cooling can also be entrusted to a dry cooler, managed directly by the Boss. It consists of a heat
exchange coil in which chilled water is cooled by switching on electric fans when the external temperature
conditions allow it, according to the function defined "free cooling".
The dry cooler can operate in support of the Runners already present in the network or exclusively when the
external temperature conditions allow it.
Dry Cooler valve:

The Boss directly controls passage of water through the dry cooler by means of a solenoid valve.
2.3 Description of system types

As mentioned, there may be operational requirements for a system for which the installation of multiple chiller
units.
There may be multiple reasons such as, for example, the need to subdivide total power into multiple units, the
necessity to add new units to the already existing ones, the necessity to guarantee service continuity by pre-
setting reserve units, etc.
In all of the above cases, the presence of an intelligent system that activates power steps of the available chiller
groups in an intelligent and rational manner is necessary.
The only type of system that can be managed by the Boss control is a system for producing chilled water, both
through a chiller unit and through a dry-cooler unit for exploiting the free-cooling function if external
thermohygrometric conditions allow it, increasing energy efficiency of the entire system in this way which is
greater depending on how much more advantageous annual average external thermal conditions are.
In order to analyse the potential and operational strategy which can be selected in the Boss-Runner system in
detail, refer to the diagram of a typical system shown in figure.

In its maximum extension, as seen previously, the Boss can manage up to twelve Runner connected in parallel
(R1, R2…Rn, connections highlighted in red in the figure shown above), a pump for water circulation and
possibly a second reserve one, each one managed by its own inverter, a by-pass valve which allows water
circulation even when the Runner and a dry-cooler are not active (connections highlighted in yellow in figure).
In order to know system operation requirements and put strategies in place, there are probes for reading the
temperature of water coming into and out of the system (Tin and Tour in figure), that of the external air (Tair in
figure), those of the pressure for water coming into and out from the system, (Pin and Pout in figure) and the
water temperature of the secondary circuit (Tsec in figure)
For system safety, there is a flow switch or an equivalent element that signals the correct water flow to the Boss.
In the case shown in the figure above, for an efficient and rational use of the system it includes two-way solenoid
valves that hydraulically exclude the non active Runners and a by-pass valve that guarantees minimum water
circulation is all Runners are disabled.
Management of the common pump inverter, through suitable hydraulic pressure transducers placed on the
supply and return of the Runner, combined with that type of system it offers the greatest possible efficiency.
As a matter of fact, modulation on circulating water flow based of the actual number of Runners operating
guarantees a constant water capacity to the Runners, independently from the number of active Runners.
With this pump management it is not necessary to divide between primary and secondary system, since the
same pump can circulate water on both.
Another type of system foreseen by the Boss application is shown in the figure below, where each Runner is
equipped with its own pump and the system pump is no longer managed by the Boss.
In this case, in order to correctly activate the power steps, even when all Runners and related pumps are
stopped, it is necessary to install a water temperature probe positioned on the secondary hydraulic circuit, where
one must always guarantee minimum water circulation in order to read the actual temperature in the water of the
system continuously.

Clearly the two diagrams shown above should be considered purely indicative and not binding, since the Boss

2.4 System operating logic
The following is a complete description of the operating logic foreseen by the Boss software application.
2.4.1 Runner start-up logic

The start-up of each Runner in the system is linked to the cooling demand by the system through the reading of
its water temperature.
The start will occur according to FIFO (first in – first out) among the Runners available at the time of the request,
according to the type of request, characteristics of the Runners present and any priorities.
In other words, the Runner started first will be the first one to be stopped and vice versa for the last one.
2.4.2 System start-up logic

Start-up logic of the Runner within the system occurs with CPM logic.
The CPM type logic will cause activation of a Runner at 100% before requesting activation of the next one.
2.4.3 Management of activation priority

It is possible to foresee grouping of the Runners present on the network on two activation priority levels.
If requesting production of chilled water, the Boss as a preliminary action will activate all Runners with priority
level 1 (the highest), while it will also activate Runners with priority level 2 (the lowest) only if demand is no
longer satisfied only by Runners with priority 1.
The Boss will also equilibrate operational hours of Runners belonging to the same priority level.
2.4.4 Backup units

One can decide to provide one or more reserve Runners among those present.
Unlike the Runners for normal operation, for which rotation is always active, there will be one or more reserve
Runners which will normally remain in stand-by.
The reserve Runners replace the operating runners when these have reached a difference from the former by a
number of hours set by the user.
This allows all the Runners to have the amount of operating hours distributed evenly.
If the Runners are divided on two activation priority levels (See par. 2.4.3), the reserve ones are included with the
lower level ones (priority level 2).
2.4.5 Peak load management

Reserve Runners are normally foreseen in order to guarantee maximum service continuity in case of
malfunction or maintenance.
Certain particular and limited conditions are defined "load peaks" when the thermal load request cannot be
satisfied by the operating Runners.
In this condition the Boss foresees the additional use of stand-by Runners in order to satisfy the request for
chilled water.
Practically, if the temperature of the reference water is greater than a determined limit for a definite time interval
(both values can be set by the user), the Boss considers the peak condition stabilised and activates a foreseen
reserve Runner.
After activating a reserve Runner, if the peak condition continues for the same time interval defined above, the
Boss will activate another reserve Runner, if available, and so on and so forth according to system composition.
The Boss, once the peak condition has ended and therefore once the thermal load decreases, will stop the
reserve Runners first.
28
2.4.6 Management of Runner alarms
Besides the specific alarms belonging to the Boss, the Boss will also repeat the alarms coming from individual
Runners.
After an alarm occurs on a Runner, the Boss can decide if it should stop the active Runner and start a stand-by
Runner (if available), or if the Runner subject of the alarm should be kept active.
This type of choice is made based on the user made definition of GRAVE (Serious) or NON GRAVE (not
serious) alarm.
Basically all alarms coming from the Runner are divided into coherent groups, i.e. number n alarms of the same
type belonging to the same group; the user can therefore define is all alarms belonging to a specific group are to
be considered serious or not.
The choice can be made in the Service menu where for each group shown in the table below there is an
associated progressive number code.
Alarm group number Alarm group description
02 Pump circuit breaker

For
03 High pressure
04 Low pressure
05 Oil differential
06 Compressors circuit breakers
09 Fan guards
11 Water inlet and disposable outlet temperature
12 Voltage
14 Probes broken
17 Gas discharge temperature
18 Inverter and driver
19 Set point from remote signals
example, if the 02 group has been defined as a group of serious alarms, if a pump circuit breaker alarm occurs
on an operating Runner, the Boss will immediately activate a Runner in stand-by.
The opposite will occur instead if the group is defines as NOT serious.
29
2.5 Accessories functions
Operation of the hydraulic system managed by the Bass, as described in the previous chapters, can be
summarised with a control of chilled water temperature by activating and deactivating the Runners.
Now let us analyse in detail all logics and accessory operations foreseen by the Boss-Runner system.
2.5.1 Boss start-up

Start-up of the Boss is always linked to closing of the external general consent given by the relative digital input,
by consent coming from the supervision network (if present) and by the PGD1 display placed at ON.
If one of the above-mentioned devices does not give its consent, the Boss and the Runners connected to it will
shut down.
The Boss must be started for all the intended functions, including anti-freeze safety management, when water
circulation is to be activated.
2.5.2 Starting up Runners

Start-up of the Runners by the Boss is subordinated to their local ON status.
Only if each individual Runner is at the local ON status can the Boss manage their switch on or off; in other
words, as long as the Runners have not been set locally at ON, the Boss cannot control them.
See the relative documentation to set the Runners ON locally.
2.5.3 Auto OFF

This function, if enabled, forces a Runner to shut-off if it is disconnected from the Boss network for any reason.
Basically, if at a certain instant a Runner is in ON and serial communication with the Boss is missing, the Runner
automatically places itself in OFF state.
In order to actually make that function active, it will be necessary to enable it both on the Boss application and on
all software of connected Runners.
Any incongruence between what is set on the Boss and what is set on the Runner causes a specific alarm
signal.
If this function is not enabled, the Runners enter a state of ON if they were previously in a "OFF FROM BOSS"
state, or they will remain in ON state if previously in ON state.
5
In order to enable this function on Runners with the application for pCO , refer to specific documentation.
This function instead is not directly compatible with Runners that use the µC2SE electronic control; therefore, if
5
there is request, it will be necessary to connect an additional pCOe board to the pCO board of the Boss, by
connecting the field bus on a tLAN port.
The additional pCOe board has 4 available digital outputs; each output must be connected to the digital ON-OFF
remote input of the µC2SE present on the network, in a way that places the Runners that are disconnected at a
specific instant from the network in OFF from the digital input using µC2SE hardware.
Practically, since the µC2SE control does not have a specific variable form the supervisor to place the device in
OFF, it is necessary to use a support hardware, connected to the Boss board, in order to complete this AUTO
OFF function.
As was said before, a pCOe expansion board has 4 available digital output, while the application for the Boss
can mange up to 12 Runners; there may therefore be a case where al 12 Runners have the µC2SE electronic
control and therefore, practically, 3 Runners must be associated to each digital output of the pCOe.
Here below is a specific table illustrating the combination between serial addresses of the µC2SE present in the
network and digital outputs of the pCOe board that the remote ON-OFF commands are connected to.
30

5 NO1 11 NO3
6 NO2 12 NO4
Table combining µC2SE serial addresses to pCOe board digital outputs if AUTO OFF is enabled
Obviously, if the AUTO OFF function is not requested, for µC2SE controls the presence of pCOe boards is not
necessary
2.5.4 Water flow presence management

Pump start-up and the related water circulation in the system is verified by the Boss by closing the related digital
input to the flow switch.
The alarm for missing water flow is delayed at start-up and during system operation through two different timings
which can be set in the Service menu.
2.5.5 Inverter management

The Boss-Runner system can manage continual adjustment of water capacity in the hydraulic system.
Adjustment of the water capacity with the inverter is only possible when the Boss directly handles system pumps.
This adjustment is made possible by installing two pressure transducers place at pump supply and on the return
from the Runners, basically the Boss maintains the pressure difference read between the two transducers
mentioned above constant by varying pump rotation speed.
This way it always guarantees a correct water capacity to the individual Runners, independent from the number
of Runners operating, if shutting off a Runner corresponds to closing the related hydraulic solenoid valve.
The adjustment occurs with a 0/10 V signal, and the value of the signal varies from a minimum set at 100% in an
inversely proportional manner compared to the pressure difference one wants to maintain.
The figure below shows the adjustment logic of the inverter, where:
Diff.press = pressure differential within which the difference between Runner inlet and outlet pressure must be
maintained.
Out signal (%) = percentage of the control signal to the inverters
Vmax,Vmin = maximum and minimum percentage of speed that the inverter signal can be changed to.
Set press. = pressure difference between desired IN/OUT

Besides, a setting for inverter operation if one or both pressure probes malfunction or are disconnected, and
therefore the control cannot be adjusted with the pressure difference.
This type of adjustment finds it’s most rational and efficient application in hydraulic exclusion of deactivated
Runners through a 2 way valve (see par. 2.2)
2.5.6 Chilled water temperature control

Temperature control of the chilled water system occurs by activating/deactivating the power steps available on
the Runners that make up the system, based on temperature of the supply water.
It can therefore be defined as an outlet water temperature control.
The Boss acquires, instant by instant, the total number of power steps available from the various Runners,
calculating the power percentage which can be associated to each step, considering by approximation and ease
of algorithm, which each step is of equal power.
As an example, if the system is made of 5 Runners where each one of them has 2 compressors, the control
associates 10% of total system power to each power step, even if the 5 Runners could have different chilling
power.
This approximation e completely acceptable in for controlling the temperature for at least two reasons: first of all,
normally this type of system has at least 3-4 Runners, and therefore the total number of available steps reduces
the weight, in percentage, of each step; second, Runner rotation foreseen by the Boss allows balancing the
presence of different capacity steps over time.
Finally, it is possible that the condition where one or more Runners are off or disabled may occur: in this case
the Boss will recalculate the power percentage associated to each step based on the Runners that are actually
enabled.
In detail, the Boss sends the activation request for a power step to a Runner, and this will actually activate a
power step according to the timing foreseen by its specific software.
If activation time set in the Boss is less than what is set on the Runners, it may happen that the Boss calls for
additional power steps before the previous ones have been activated, making the system unstable that way.
In fact, the best control strategy would require for the Boss to activate additional steps only if those already active
are not sufficient.
Besides, the Boss activates all power steps of an individual Runner before passing the request to the next
Runner, according to a logic called CPM (which cannot be modified).
Activation/deactivation of power steps occurs according to the logic shown in the figure below.
32
Tmax,load
Tmax,unload
Tmin,load
Tmin,unload
Ref,water
Diff,unload zm Diff,load
T,antifreeze Set point Max,temp

Low,temp
A deactivation differential "Diff,unload" is defined for temperatures below the set point - where active power
steps are deactivated - an activation differential "Diff,load" for temperatures above the set point - where the
power steps are activated - and a dead zone "zm" defined above the set point, where the Boss does not operate
any activation/deactivation of available power steps.
In both activation and deactivation differentials the power steps are activated according to timing that is
proportional to "max" and "min" time as shown in figure above.
Finally, an instantaneous shut-off limit "Low,temp" is defined for all active power steps in order to keep from
reaching the antifreeze limit "T, antifreeze", and therefore in order to prevent a possible serious alarm situation
and resulting system stop.
Finally, if the reference temperature is greater than "Max,temp", the Boss will always apply the minimum
activation time for residual power steps; the same thing occurs below "Low,temp", where the control always
applies "Tmin,unload" time.
2.5.7 Free-cooling function

By definition free-cooling regards the production of chilled water without using compressors and actually using
the external air temperature when it is less than the chilled water return temperature of the system.
Production of chilled water through free-cooling may completely or partially satisfy the total request of the
thermal load.
This function can be directly integrated on the Runners that make up the system, or through a dry-cooler
managed directly by the Boss through suitable digital outputs (see I/O table par. 3).
The condition for enabling free cooling is tied to the external air temperature - read by specific temperature
probes connected to the Boss - compared with the temperature of the return water from the chilled water
system.
Even with the secondary water probe, the free-cooling condition is active.
The figure below highlights the operational logic and related parameters involved.
33
Hys
Tair,ext Twat,in
Diff,fc
free cooling ON free cooling OFF
As shown, the free-cooling condition is active when:
Twat,in - Tair,ext > diff,fc + hys , where
Twat,in = system return water temperature, or pre-set set point

Tair,ext = external air temperature
Diff,fc = free-cooling start differential
Hys = hysteresis, value that cannot be changed, equal to 0.5°C
2.5.8 Set point compensation

Compensation of the set point refers to the possibility of changing it when the external temperature changes.
Compensation can be positive or negative, where positive is a set point increase when external air temperature
increases, while negative is a reduction of the set point when external air temperature increases.
The following figures show operational logics.
set + diff,comp set
diff,comp
set set + diff,comp
Tair Tair
T1 T2 T1 T2
Positive compensation Negative compensation
Where:
Tair = external air temperature
Set = set point
Diff,comp = compensation differential
T1 = compensation start temperature
T2 = compensation end temperature
34
Finally, one must specify that T1 must always be less than T2 and the compensation set point value must always
be limited to the set point range foreseen in the Service menu.
The new calculated set point value will be visible in the MENU.
2.5.9 Double set-point

The double set point function allows the Boss-Runner system to produce chilled water at two different
temperature values in order to satisfy, for example, two different thermal loads or two different applications.
The values of the two operational sets will be defined "ALTO" (High) and "BASSO" (Low) and will be properly set
in the Service menu.
Changing the set point from HIGH to LOW and vice versa may occur from the keyboard, digital input or through
serial communication.
If the set point is changed from digital input, to the "open" state it corresponds to the "HIGH" set point, while at
the "closed" state corresponds to the "LOW" set point; instead, for set point change from the supervisor, the
specific digital variable placed at 0 corresponds to the "LOW" set point, while the specific variable placed at 1
corresponds to "HIGH" set point.
The set point values that can be set are automatically limited to the variation range of the set point.
This function can also be activated simultaneously with the "set point compensation" function (see par. 2.5.8);
even in this case, the "actual" set point values that the Boss uses t manage the system are limited to the
variation range of the set point.
2.5.10 Set point variable from analogue input

The set point of the chilled water can be changed proportionally to an analogue signal supplied by the final user
of the system, i.e. an increase in the signal corresponds to a proportional increase in the set point, and a
decrease of the set point as the signal decreases.
The signal type can be selected between 0/1V, 0/10V, 0/20mA and 4/20mA.
By activating the set point from the analogue input it blocks the possibility of manually changing it in the related
menu.
In the MENU branch the current set point calculated by the Boss is always present, according to the precise
value of the analogue signal on input.
In order to avoid improper reading of the analogue signal due to quick changes or disturbance, the read value is
"filtered".
The set point is obtained from the signal value which remains constant for a determined amount of time.
2.5.11 Dry cooler management

In order to rationalise energy and system efficiency, the Boss can directly handle a dry-cooler in order to take
advantage of free-cooling conditions when external thermohygrometric conditions allow it.
The presence of a dry cooler on a chilled water production system must be properly set in the Boss
From the application point of view, the Boss can manage the pump of the dry-cooler or a possible 2 way valve
using a digital output, up to 4 ventilation steps through 4 dedicated digital outputs and finally, an analogue output
0-10V if it requests a 3 way modulating valve.
Each individual ventilation step of the dry-cooler is managed exactly as a power step of the system made up of
the Runners (see par. 2.5.6)
When the free-cooling conditions have been verified (see par. 2.5.7) the Boss uses the dry-cooler as the first
system power step, and it will shut it off last.
The only limitation with regards to dry cooler management, as for free cooling in general, is once the lower limit
of the system supply water temperature has been reached.
In order to avoid producing water that is too cold, even with all dry-cooler fans off, as a result of water circulating
in the coils, the Boss will stop the water flow using the dry cooler:
1. by closing the related 2 way valve or shutting off the service pump exclusive to the actual dry-cooler or
2. modulation of the 3 way valve through 0-10 V analogue signal

dedicated dry-cooler pump or for 2 way valve, is highlighted in red.
Please note that the digital output that controls the pump dedicated to the dry-cooler or a 2 way valve is
deactivated at the Set Point - Diff.valve value, while it is activated at the percentage set for the Diff.valve (%
Diff.valve in figure).

2.6 Network communication
The Boss application foresees connection by way of RS485 serial suing Carel protocol between the Boss and
the Runners that make up the system, using the variables foreseen for each application.
The boss uses the field-bus 2 port to communicate with the Runners, specifically set to communicate using the
Carel Master protocol with baud rate set at 19200 bps; Runners that use pCO5 hardware must be connected on
the BMS 2 serial port, specifying the same Carel protocol with a baud rate of 19200 bps.
The maximum number of Runners that can interface with the Boss is twelve; each Runner is therefore equipped
with a progressive serial address from 1 to 12.
The dry-cooler making up the hydraulic system is directly managed by the Boss through specific digital outputs,
therefore it is not part of the Boss-Runner serial network.
The Boss can be combined with a pCOe board through field bus tLAN connection for managing the AUTO OFF
function and if µC2SE devices are present on the network.
Boss pLAN addressing is the following:
5
- pCO board (Boss board) = address 1
- PGD terminal (private terminal of the Boss)= address 10
2.6.1 Runner identification and verification

The Boss-Runner system is based on a continual exchange of information between the Boss, that coordinates
the network, and the Runners, that are managed from this, in a manner that makes it possible to promptly and
correctly respond to system requests for chilled water.
In order to precisely dialogue with the Runners, the Boss must first of all identify in a unique manner through a
serial address, and besides, it must possess a database of variables that allow sending correct instructions
(compressor activation, stop due to reaching set point, alarms management, etc...) depending on the type of
Runner present.
In order to associate the correct database of variables to the specific serial address of the runner, it is necessary
for the Boss to acquire the information related to the software application installed on the actual Runner, and
besides, it must know its specific configuration, i.e. if it is only a chiller, or a chiller with free-cooling.
Naturally, everything configured in the Boss must completely coincide with what is configured in the Runners
connected to it, and this is continually and precisely verified by the actual Boss.
Any incongruence from the configuration completed with what is detected by way of serial communication
generates alarm signals on the Boss.
The incongruence can be of different types: No Runner at an address; Runner present but its software is not
correct; the Runner is present with the correct software but the settings for its operation are not the same as
what the Boss expects.
As was said before, the verification of Runner configuration on the part of the Boss is continuous in order to
prevent any modifications once the system has been started, both if casual and resulting from an incorrect
procedure on the part of an operator.
2.6.2 Shared terminal

5
Because on the network among the Runner there may be different types of controls (pCO and µC2), it is not
possible for the Boss terminal to work as a shared terminal for all connected Runners.
2.6.3 Serial connections and communication protocols

For serial communication there are protocols normally available for the pCO family, i.e.: RS485 with Carel,
Modbus or Bacnet protocols, Lon and Web with Web TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, SNMP protocols.
For activation of the supervisor it is necessary to install a suitable serial board, one among those described in
par. 1.9.2.
Correctly setting the serial ports, the various protocols, and addressing and transmission speed are set in the
Service branch.
For a list of variables which are transmitted by the application and available to the supervisor, please contact
Blue Box.
2.6.4 Management of service through SMS messages

The control records the activation of every alarm in the GSM menu, memorising the date, time and event.
The number of events that the control keeps in the memory is limited to the last 150 alarms.
37
This function, limitedly to recording, can be used as an approximate indication of any unit problems, but its main
purpose is to remotely signal the alarm that has occurred.
With the activation of the alarm, the control allows to send an SMS message using the GSM modem.
In order to send alarm messages by way of SMS the RS232 serial board for modem must be installed (see par.
1.9.2), of a GSM modem complete with SIM, the GSM modem protocol is to be set in the Service menu, and
communication speed is to be set at "9600" bps..(not changeable).
With the correct execution of all operations, a mask appears in the "Communication" branch that describes the
status of the modem and the presence or not of field.
In the password protected "Modem" branch there are the masks for setting the number where the message
must be sent, the sending modes and the possibility to insert a description, composed of max. 16 characters,
which identifies the system.

4. INTERFACE MASKS
The software application for Boss includes a series of interface marks for defining the type of system, the
number and type of Runner present on the network and all operational strategies.
The masks are managed in tree structures to ease scrolling and consequently the search for those of interest.
Each mask is characterised in a unique way by an alphanumeric code present on the top left corner.
Each branch is placed on a different access level and, where necessary, password protected.
In any mask, if no button is pressed for 5 minutes, the control returns automatically to the first mask of the main
menu.

This mask must be interpreted and used as follows:

1.12.3 Network status

T: xx; This is the address of the active terminal

In every line, the "-" symbols represent a useful address.

1.13 Verifying the analogue inputs

(FSmax – FSmin) / (Smax – Smin ) x (Vmis – Smin) + FSmin = Xmis

Smin = Minimum voltage value permitted by the input;

Vmis = Voltage value measured in Volts on the input;

Xmis = Value read on the control;

(45 – 0) / (4.5 – 0.5) x (2.7 – 0.5) + 0 = 24.75 bar

1.13.2 Active probes in current

(FSmax – FSmin) / (Smax – Smin ) x (Vmis/100 – Smin) + FSmin = Xmis

(30 – 0) / (0.2 – 0.04) x (15.2 / 100 – 0.04) + 0 = 21.0 bar
