The controller uses proportional (P) or proportional plus integral (P+I) or proportional plus
integral plus derivative (P+I+D) control actions to maintain the temperature set point. The
integral (I) and derivative (D) time constants can be adjustable with software.
Proportional Control
Proportional Control is the relationship between the setpoint, proportional band and the actual control
air temperature. For a setpoint of 21°C, a proportional band of 2°C and one stage of cooling, to enable
the cooling, the control air temperature has to rise to setpoint plus proportional band, i.e. 23°C (21 + 2).
If the number of cooling stages LVLQFUHDVHGWRWZRWKHQWKH¿UVWVWDJHZRXOGEHHQDEOHGDWVHWSRLQW
plus (prop. Band/2), i.e. 22°C (21 + 2/2). Both stages will be enabled at 23°C.
The same theory applies to chilled water outputs. For the valve to be fully open, the control air
temperature has to be at setpoint plus the full proportional band.
x A large proportional band will mean a slow system response, i.e. the control air temperature
would have to rise to a high level before full cooling is enabled, and subsequent shutting off
the cooling would also be slower. A small or tight proportional band will bring on cooling

room conditions are maintained.
7R RYHUFRPH WKH ³RIIVHW´ DERYH WKe controller can be set to operate using proportional plus integral
(P+I) control to achieve and maintain the control temperature at setpoint. The addition of the integral
term has the effect of gradually increasing the output to reduce the offset so that the steady state
condition, i.e. heat generation equals cooling input, now occurs at setpoint. The integral action is in
effect resetting the proportional band to reduce the steady state error.

deviation from setpoint is acceptable. Furthermore on start up or when there are changes to the load,
over shoot must be kept to a minimum (the bigger the derivative time the bigger the effect).

The controller featuring two types of humidity control mode (selectable through setting).
1. RH Control Mode (Relative Humidity Control)
2. Dew Point Control Mode (Absolute Humidity Control).
Control mode
RH Control mode is the conventional way to control the RH proportional to the RH sensing probe
regardless of the environmental temperature. The Dew Point Control mode is to control the absolute
humidity to prevent unnecessary of humidifying or de-humidifying due to change of temperature. It is
compliance to ASHRAE T9.9 2008 Humidity Specification.

Humidifier Controller
The humidifier to be controlled and managed by an electronic board which features all the input and
output required to completely and independently control the humidifier. This controller capable of show
the following parameters:
x Current (A)
x Supply Water Conductivity (µS/cm)
x Cylinder hour counter (h)
x Steam production control
x Humidifier Status
x Humidifier Alarms
The humidifier controller is communicated with pCO5 controller through Modbus RTU protocol, if there
is a loss in network communication, the humidifier controller shall stop the humidifier by opening the
contactor and goes into standby mode until the communication is restored.

Cooling is achieved by one of two methods, Direct Expansion or Chilled Water in response to a
cooling demand from the microprocessor controller. Factors that affect the cooling demand are the
relationship of the control air temperature to the temperature setpoint, cooling proportional band and
cooling dead zone.
In the case of DIRECT EXPANSION (DX), one, two or three stages can be selected (Software Level 3
for CGD1 or Factory Setting page for pGDTouch) to achieve the full (100%) cooling demand. Switch

For CHILLED WATER (CW), the controller drives a valve actuator to position a two-way or three-way
valve to meet the cooling demand. There are two types of actuator: open-close control or modulating
control.
For open-close control, a XQLWWKDWLVFRQ¿JXUHG for Chilled Water operation will use Cooling outputs 1
and 2 to run the valve actuator, output number 1 will be used to drive the actuator open and output
number 2 to drive it close. For a valve actuator with a full running time of 110 seconds (example) the
valve will be opened 100%. The valve opened or valve closed is directly proportional to the variation in
the cooling demand and the maximum time for complete opening.
An interlock prevents the simultaneous activation of the outputs, with closing having the priority.
To enable the controller to determine the position of the actuator on start-up (or at any time the AHU is
stopped and started) it will initially energize the drive close output for 110% of the valve running time.
This ensures the valve is at the fully closed position and any subsequent movement is from a set
position. Thus at switch on the valve may initially be seen to close even though conditions may be
calling for a cooling demand.
The valve is activated only upon variations in cooling demand greater than 5%. If the request is equal
to 0%, the valve closing time equal to half of the valve running time every hour. If the request is
between 0% and 10%, the valve closed for a time that is proportional to the variations plus 20% of
valve running time and then the valve opened for the time necessary to reach the desired value. This
operation is performed only once, and the condition ends when the request exceeds 14%. After having
performed the complete closing operation once, control continues normally by activating the valve
opened or valve closed, for a time that is proportional to the variation of the cooling demand.
If the request is between 10% and 90%, the valve opened or valve closed is activated for a time that is
proportional to valve running time and the variation of the cooling demand.
If the request is between 90% and 100%, the valve opened is proportional to the variation, plus 20% of
valve running time, and then the valve closed takes the necessary time to reach the desired value.
This operation is performed only once, and the condition ends when the request falls below 86%. After
having performed the complete opening operation once, control continues normally by activating the
valve opened or valve closed, for a time that is proportional to the variation of the cooling demand.
If the request is equal to 100%, the valve opened takes time equal to 50% of valve running time every
hour.
For modulating control, the valve actuator is driven by 0-10V signal from controller, which is
proportionally to cooling demand.
28
Heating is achieved in one of two ways, either with Electric Heaters or Low Pressure Hot Water
(LPHW).
The LPHW output operates a Drive Open or Drive Close valve actuator via the digital outputs in
response to heating demands. The operation of the outputs is similar to that for CW control.
The heating demand is generated in the same way as the cooling demand, i.e. deviations below
setpoint will generate a heating demand relevant to the dead zone and proportional bands set and
operate the heating outputs accordingly. Integral action has the same effect on the heating demand,
thus with no change in the Return Air Temperature and an initial heating demand is present the
demand is gradually increased so that the output increases to raise thH5HWXUQ$LU7HPSHUDWXUHWRLWV¶
setpoint.
The controller can also provide a 0 - 10V DC output to a LPHW valve actuator if required.

electrodes at a reference value so as to ensure the percentage of steam production required

repeated. The other factor that determines the current level is the conductivity of the water inside the
cylinder.
Another element, installed at the top of the cylinder, is the high level sensor, used to detect any water
or foam. The high level electrodes may be activated for one of the following reasons:
x RYHU¿OOLQJRIZDWHULQWKHF\OLQGHU

In many buildings, central chilled water systems are installed to provide comfort air conditioning.
These systems are usually unsuitable for computer rooms and similar applications because the chilled
water may be unavailable at weekends, at night or during the winter months when general cooling is
not required.
Conditioning unit uses such a source of chilled water when it is available, but also have a back up
direct expansion system to take over when it is not. Low cost chilled water can therefore be used for
much of the cooling season, so saving energy costs, whilst the direct expansion system shall ensure
continuity and security when the chilled water system is unavailable, mulfunction or shut down for
maintenance.
A combicool unit consists of two separate cooling circuits. Normally, the primary circuit will be a chilled
water system and the secondary circuit could be a DX system or chilled water system. The Citec
control system shall provide automatic change over from primary system to secondary system when

Ambicool is the use of low ambient temperatures cooling a freecooling liquid (typically glycol / water
solution) to effect heat extraction from an air conditioned space. Should the ambient temperature rise
to a level at which no duty can be achieved by freecooling then DX stages will cool the room air in
order to do the cooling duty.

Fig. 2.8 : Detailed Wiring Connection for the BMS with Modbus protocol.
Hardware Setup
The wiring connection for the BMS with Modbus protocol is shown in Figure 2.8. Connection between
controller BMS2 serial port (J25) in a network is carried out using an AWG20/22, 3-core shielded cable.
The boards are connected in parallel. Maximum cable length in one network is 1000 meters. Pay
ATTENTION to the network polarity: Rx/Tx+ on one board must be connected to Rx/Tx+ on the other
boards; the same is true for Rx/Tx- and GND. Resistor 120 ohm shall be installed at first and last of
the RS485 serial port in the network at terminal + and ± if the network exceeds 100m.
Software Setup
The parameter setup is at Level 2 - BMS Setup for CGD1 or Advance Setting menu ± BMS setup for
pGDTouch. The parameters are as below:

systems, and can thus be exploited as the backbone for the transmission of data, without needing to

the use of tools, such as web browsers, for performing diagnostic functions and the local and remote
monitoring of the systems.
WebGate is easy to configure either via the web or using an RS232 serial connection : as a matter of
fact, only a minimum configuration is sufficient for setting its individual IP address.
WebGate assessment is protected by multi level password.
One of the main functions performed by WebGate is the WebServer function : using the HTTP (Hyper

SNMP Protocol
SNMP is a protocol developed specifically for the management of TCP/IP networks, founded in 1988
based on the specifications of the IAB (Internet Administration Board), the body that supervises the
Internet protocol. This is thus a protocol developed specifically for the management of data on TCP/IP
networks, and is consequently very widespread and suitable for the specific application.
The SNMP functions are complementary to the HTTP functions: as a result, an Internet browser,
which uses HTTP, can be used to access the installation data for modification or monitoring.
Nonetheless, it is not possible to perform the other typical supervisor functions, such as logging the
data, managing alarms, etc. These functions in fact require a supervisor that is continuously
connected to the WebGate, and which receives the data from the controllers via the TCP/IP network.
These are then sent to the WebGate via the SNMP protocol and can be managed by a supervisor with
SNMP management functions.
42
Wiring Connection for WebGate
Basically, each controller is connected in a network using additional serial card RS 485 on each unit.
Maximum units that able to be connected in a network is sixteen units. One of the controller in a
network is connected to the WebGate. Then the WebGate is connected to the internet via Ethernet
port and need a fix IP address for it.
Parameter Setup
The parameter setup is at Level 2 - BMS Setup for CGD1 or Advance Setting menu ± BMS setup for
pGDTouch. The parameters required to set are as below:

General Characteristics
SNMP
pCOWeb is able to communicate using the SNMP protocol (v1 & v2c). In this situation, pCOWeb act
as a gateway between the Citec proprietary protocol of the controller and the SNMP network.
pCOWeb manages standard trap conditions and it is possible to define a trap condition for each digital
variable of the application loaded in the controller.
44
BACnet Ethernet/IP
pCOWeb is capable to communicate over Ethernet using the BACnet protocol over the following
media:
- BACnet/IP
- ISO8802-2 over 8802-3
In this situation, pCOWeb acts like a gateway between the Citec proprietary protocol of the controller
and the BACnet network. The BACnet parameters setup is done through the Administrator pages.
Configuration of pCOWeb
For configuration of pCOWeb card, please refer to Installation and Operational Manual of pCOWeb
card.
