Interlocks
need configuring
There are some signals which can stop the system for the safety reason.
When we configure the working order, we need to think about them as well.

Low Pressure Alarm High Pressure Alarm

The refrigeration system should not be The compressor or its motor can be
run with low pressure. damaged due to a high temperature.

Fire Alarm from BMS Low Temperature Alarm

There can be a special requirements For the precision cooling unit, we need to
related in other systems such as fire care about the normal range of the
alarm from the building management process variable such as temperature,
system (BMS). relative humidity and so on.
Controlling many equipment
If the temperature inside the refrigerator is 3℃ and above, the compressor
shall be started.

If the temperature inside the refrigerator is 1℃ and below, the compressor

shall be stopped.

If the temperature inside the refrigerator is 5℃ and above for more than 5
seconds, a high temperature alarm shall be generated.

If the temperature inside the refrigerator is 1℃ and below for more than 5
seconds, a low temperature alarm shall be generated.

If there are 3 THA or TLA, the lock down alarm shall be generated. And it stops
the compressor regardless of the auto mode.

You need to add a reset button which can clear the lock down alarm.

The compressor shall be controlled according to the temperature sensor from

1,600 rpm to 6,000 rpm with a PI controller. (P gain: 20, I value: 2 seconds)
When the system in the manual mode, the compressor speed shall be 2,500
rpm.

The system shall be stopped when the emergency stop button is pressed,
there is a fire alarm from the building management system (BMS) or lock
down alarm.

Let’s do practice.

 Simulation
Include visualization

We will study how to do simulation after finishing coding. And we will do it with visual method by
using visualization function of CODESYS.
