2 General description
2.1 Introduction
Description
ES 6, general view
ES 6 is a stand-alone central control system that regulates the net pressure within programmable limits by
starting and stopping, loading and unloading (in case of fixed speed compressors) or controlling the speed
(VSD compressors) of the connected compressors according to a programmed algorithm (see section
Algorithms).
Up to six compressors, connected to a common air net, can be connected.
ES 6 can control fixed speed compressors as well as frequency converter driven compressors (VSD).
Fixed speed Atlas Copco compressors may have any Elektronikon® regulator or may be pressure switch
controlled. VSD compressors must however have an Elektronikon® regulator of the fourth (MkIV) or fifth
generation (Mk5) in order to have all control options.
Competitor VSD compressors can only be started and stopped by ES 6 via digital contacts.
The status of each compressor can be checked on the display. Operating parameters are accessible via the
menu.
ES 6 consists out of a metal cubicle with:
• An Elektronikon® Graphic Plus controller (Mk5)
• An expansion module type I/O 2 (part number 1900 5200 32)
• A 4-20 mA pressure transmitter (delivered loose)
• A supply transformer, fuses and connectors
Controller types
Over the past years, many different versions of the Elektronikon® regulator are developed. A short survey:

2.2 Single point pressure measurement
Description
ES 6 measures the net pressure by means of a 4-20 mA pressure transmitter (P), connected to the I/O 2
module in ES 6 cubicle. ES 6 controls the compressors in the network in order to keep the pressure within
the limits of the programmed pressure band.
As an alternative or as backup, another pressure sensor (0-5 V transducer) can be

used. This other or extra sensor must be connected to the I/O2 module.
Two pressure bands are available. A switch-over between the pressure bands can be performed in different
ways (week timer based, controlled by a switch, via the display menu or via CAN communication).
2920 7094 71 11
Instruction book
2.3 Algorithms
2.3.1 Equal wear sequence mode
Description
In this operation mode, ES 6 controls the connected compressors in function of the outcome of following
checks:
• Position of the measured pressure versus the selected pressure band
• Priority check
• Compressor availability check
• Equal wear (running hours) check
Priority check
Four priority schemes are available. In each priority scheme, six priority levels can be set. The lower the
number of the priority level, the higher the priority: machines of level 1 will be started first, those of level 6
will be started last.
Each compressor can be given a different priority.
Compressors with the same priority level will have the same priority. Within a group of compressors with
the same priority, the compressor with the lowest running hours will be started first, the one with highest
running hours stopped first.
The lowest placed variable speed driven compressor will be the control VSD compressor. This is the one
with the highest running hours.
If more than one VSD compressor is put in this priority level, the one with the highest number of running
hours will be the control (top load) VSD. The other one(s) will be controlled as a fixed speed compressor,
meaning that it (they) will run at its (their) optimum motor speed, when started.
The controller allows two different ways of switching between priority schemes:
• Manual shift: a new scheme is selected manually.
• Time based shift: the scheme shifts automatically according to a programmed list.
(e.g. Monday 07:00 h priority scheme 1, Tuesday 08:00 h priority scheme 2, etc.).
Availability check
Before a compressor in a group is started, an availability check is performed. This means that only the
compressors that are running in unloaded condition or are ready to be started will be taken into account.
A compressor is unavailable if:
• The minimum stop time is not yet expired
• The compressor is shut down
• The compressor is stopping
• There is no communication with ES 6
• The compressor is in local overpressure
Equal wear
Within the group of compressors that have the same priority, the available compressor with the least
running hours will be started first, compressors with the most running hours will be stopped first.

Temporary activation of a standby machine

By using the priority schemes, a standby machine can be activated for a certain time to keep the machine in
optimal condition.
In the example below, the last machine (number 6) is set as back-up unit (priority scheme 1). It is only
activated when all the other machines are already running. To keep the machine in optimal condition, the
sequence can be changed so that the back-up compressor has the highest priority (priority scheme 2). This
can be done by changing the schemes manually or by means of a timer based switch.
Example
Compressor Priority scheme 1 Priority scheme 2

number
Priority Priority
level level
1 VSD 1 VSD 1
2 Fixed speed 1 Fixed speed 2
5 Electropneumatic 1 Electropneumatic 2
6 Electropneumatic 2 Electropneumatic 1
2.3.2 Matching flow fluctuations with variable speed driven compressor(s)
Description
If a variable speed driven compressor is installed, the latter is used to meet the changing demands of the air
net. When two compressors are running, the fixed speed compressor runs 100% loaded while the variable
speed driven compressor is used to fine tune the pressure.
If a competitor VSD is connected, together with a number of fixed speed compressors, the competitor VSD
needs to be controlled via remote start/stop command (small pressure band). Its setpoint must be set below
the Pressure Band Low setting of ES 6.
2920 7094 71 13
Instruction book
When there is more than one VSD compressor, the Atlas Copco VSD compressor will be the control
compressor. The competitor VSD will run as a fixed speed compressor.
2.3.3 'Equal wear Plus' sequence mode
Description
This operation mode works the same like normal equal wear, with the exception that is supports different
control VSD's, up to 6. The different checks remain:
• Position of the measured pressure versus the selected pressure band
• Priority check
• Compressor availability check
• Equal wear (running hours) check
• Max time in high/low speed zone
Priority check
Four priority schemes are available. In each priority scheme, six priority levels can be set. The lower the
number of the priority level, the higher the priority: machines of level 1 will be started first, those of level 6
will be started last.
Each compressor can be given a different priority.
Compressors with the same priority level will have the same priority. Within a group of compressors with
the same priority, the compressor with the lowest running hours will be started first, the one with most
running hours stopped first.
The lowest placed variable speed driven compressor will be the control VSD compressor. This means, the
one with most running hours.
If more than one VSD compressor is put in this priority level, the one with the highest number of running
hours will be the control (top load) VSD. The other one(s) will be controlled as a fixed speed compressor,
meaning that it (they) will run at its (their) optimum motor speed, when started.
The controller allows two different ways of switching between priority schemes:
• Manual shift: a new scheme is selected manually.
• Time based shift: the scheme shifts automatically according to a programmed list.
(e.g. Monday 07:00 h priority scheme 1, Tuesday 08:00 h priority scheme 2, etc.).

Max. time in high/low speed zone

When more flow is needed and the currently running compressors are already in their high speed zone
(parameter), after a predefined time (max. time in high speed zone) a new compressor is started.

When less flow is needed and the currently running compressors are already in their low speed zone
(parameter), after a predefined time (max. time in high speed zone) a compressor is stopped as it can be
achieved with one compressor down.
Comp. running in low speed zone, comp.3 will stop

Menu Menu button
2.3.4 Manual sequence mode
Description
This operation mode is totally different compared to both other options. In this mode, the user can decide
with compressors are started and in which order.
The compressors are divided into groups, which are placed in sequences (max.10) to define the order.
There's a maximum of 6 groups possible (1 for each compressor). The user can assign groups and
sequences on his own decision but for best performance; groups are build up from compressors of the same
size. The system will then pick a compressor from the group based on priorities and equal wear of running
hours.
2920 7094 71 15
Instruction book
If more than one VSD compressor is put in this regulation mode, the one with the highest number of
running hours will be the control (top load) VSD. The other one(s) will be controlled as a fixed speed
compressor, meaning that it (they) will run at its (their) optimum motor speed, when started.
Within a sequence the same regulations of 'Equal wear' sequence mode apply.
• position of the measured pressure vs. the current pressure band
• priority check ( see 'Equal wear' sequence mode)
• availability check (see 'Equal wear' sequence mode)
• equal wear of running hours (see 'Equal wear' sequence mode)
Example
4 compressors with following flows
1 165 l/s
2 170 l/s
3 250 l/s
4 350 l/s
The user needs to assign different groups to the compressors with respect to flow.
Compressor 1 & 2 go in group 1, compressor 3 & 4 in two other groups.
The groups and flow are assigned in the individual compressor settings.

3.2 Installation instructions
Procedure
• Fix ES 6 to a wall (e.g. in the compressor room), taking into account the following maximum cable
lengths:
• 250 m (820 ft) for a CAN network
500 m (1640 ft) if a repeater is installed, 970 m (3180 ft) if two repeaters and one CAN bridge
are installed.
• 1000 m (3280 ft) between the pressure transmitter and ES 6.
• The pressure transmitter should preferably be connected to an air receiver, in order to avoid pressure
pulsations. Also vibrations should be avoided. It is also recommended to connect it via valves,
allowing the pressure transmitter to be replaced after isolating and depressurising it. The pressure
transmitter must be installed in an upright position to avoid accumulation of condensate in the device.
• Isolate and depressurise the part of the air net to which the pressure transmitter will be connected.
• Provide a threaded hole (ISO R 1/4) in the depressurised part of the air net.
• Screw the pressure transmitter into place.
• Wire the pressure transmitter cable to the module of the central control system.
Respect the pin numbers as indicated on the electrical diagram, which is delivered with the device.

3.3 Connection methods
General
Reference Description
(1) Communication
(2) Connection channel 1 to 6
For each compressor a connection channel is provided. For ES 6, six connection channels can be selected,
configured and used to connect compressors.
Physical connection possibilities

There are three different ways to connect a compressor to ES 6:
1. CAN (LAN)
The CAN (Controller Area Network) allows all the compressors and controllers in a network to be
connected to one another using a single 3 core cable, which is daisy-chained from one device to the
next. The CAN network acts as a universal communication system which can be used for both control
and monitoring. This type of connection uses the LAN connection of the regulator.
2. CANBox Interface
For fixed speed compressors which cannot be connected directly to a CAN network, the CANBox
interface can be used. This DIN rail mounted box acts as an interface between traditional digital and
analogue I/O and the CAN network. One CANBox has to be provided per compressor.
3. Hard-wired
ES 6 can also control any fixed speed compressor using a series of digital inputs and outputs. In this
case the compressor will need to be hard-wired to ES 6.
Connecting Atlas Copco compressors equipped with Elektronikon® MkIV or Mk5 regulators
The simplest way to connect these machines to ES 6 is via the CAN network. A single machine can be
connected directly to ES 6 or multiple machines can be linked together and then connected, as shown
below:
20 2920 7094 71
Instruction book
Some older versions of the MkIV controller have limited control possibilities and do not
allow proper control over the CAN network or simply have no LAN connection.
In this case there are two options:
• Replace the controller by the current version (see details below).
• Connect the machine via hard-wiring. See section Hard-wired connections.

Connecting Atlas Copco machines with Elektronikon® MkIII

This previous generation of the Elektronikon® controller is no longer supported.
Connecting Electo-pneumatic machines and non Atlas Copco machines

There are two ways to connect these machines to ES 6:
• Add a CANBox Interface (part number 1900 0712 61) to each machine and then use the CAN
network
• hard-wire each machine directly to ES 6

Connection of electro-pneumatic or non Atlas Copco machines
Details on how to hard-wire machines to ES 6 can be found in section Hard wired

connections. A full explanation of how to install, configure and use a CANBox can be
found in the CANBox instruction book, which is provided with the CANBox hardware.

3.4 CAN connections
CAN addresses
ES 6 can be connected through a LAN (CAN technology). The connection point on ES 6

is labelled LAN.
For connections that are connected over LAN, appropriate CAN addresses must be used.
On each compressor, CANBox or Combox S, the correct CAN address must be set depending on the
channel:
Only the CAN addresses 1 up to 6 can be used.
Channel CAN address

Channel 1 1
Channel 2 2
Channel 3 3
... ...
Channel 6 6
CAN address
ES 6 requires a CAN address between 1 and 30. By default, the CAN address of ES 6
is 31.
After the download the CAN address has to be changed manually. Principally every
available CAN address can be used, but the preferred CAN address is 30.
See section Menu settings - Network settings to check or adapt this parameter.
3.5 Hard-wired connections
Description
Stop the compressors and switch off the power during the connecting process.
On ES 6, two digital inputs and two relay outputs are provided for each connection channel.
Required inputs:
• Compressor status indication, compressor stopped/running
• Compressor status indication, compressor unloaded/loaded

Example for service level (A):

The figures on the left are the programmed service intervals. For Service interval A, the programmed
number of running hours is 20000 hours (upper row, green). This means that the controller will launch a
service warning when 20000 running hours are reached.
The figures within the bars are the number of hours to go till the next service intervention. In the example
above, the compressor was just started up, which means it still has 19997 running hours to go before the
next Service intervention.
Service plans
A number of service operations are grouped (called Level A, Level B, etc...). Each level stands for a
number of service actions to be carried out at the time intervals programmed in the Elektronikon controller.
For ES6, only Level A applies
When a service plan interval is reached, a message will appear on the screen.
After carrying out the service actions related to the indicated levels, the timers must be reset.
