1.2 Functional layout
The gure below shows the functional layout of an air handling
unit. Damper actuators and valve actuators are eld devices that
communicate through Fieldbus 1 (ref. C). Fieldbus 2 (ref. E) is the medium
through which the serial probes communicate the values measured,
and through which the humidier control board and the fans exchange
data and receive setpoints from the controller. The built-in terminal and
the remote terminal, which communicate via pLAN (ref. A), are used for
installing the application program and for commissioning the system.
The PGD touchscreen terminal, intuitive and simple to use, can be used
while the unit is normally working to set switch-on and switch-o times,
to enter the main parameters, to perform other advanced functions of
the application program and to view any alarms triggered. In this case the
data is communicated through the BMS2 serial port (ref. D). The system
can be connected to a supervision system (Konnex, LON, BACnet, etc.)
after installing the relative BMS1 expansion card (ref. B).

3.1 Serial ports
Compared to the pCO3, pCO5+ (and pCO5) controllers have a second
BMS serial port on connector J25 (BMS2) and a second Fieldbus port
on connector J26 (FBus2). pCO5+ Large and Extralarge boards still have
connector J23, which is marked FBus2 like connector J26. With reference
to management under 1Tool, this is the same serial line, so dierent
addresses must be used for devices connected to both connectors,
while from the electrical point of view the ports are independent (an
electrical fault on port J26 does not aect port J23). See the Technical
Specications table.

The pCO5+ comes with three kinds of serial ports: pLAN, Fieldbus, BMS.
The RS485 Fieldbus serial port is designed with Master-type hardware,
while the RS485 BMS serial port has Slave-type hardware. The protocols
used on the RS485 Fieldbus port are, due to the nature of the port, Master
protocols (CAREL Master or Modbus RTU Master), although in special
cases Slave protocols can be used (CAREL Slave or Modbus RTU Slave),
adopting the necessary measures. Likewise, Slave protocols are applied
on the RS485 BMS port, although under certain conditions Master
protocols can also be used.
Note: The pLAN network is multi-master, meaning that each

controller can work as Master or Slave at the same time.

4.2 Installation
Environmental conditions
Avoid installing the controller and the terminal in places with:
exposure to direct sunlight and to the elements in general;
temperature and humidity outside the products range of operation
(see Technical Specications);
large, rapid uctuations in room temperature;
strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (avoid installing
near transmitting antennas);
strong vibrations or knocks;
presence of explosives or ammable gas mixtures;
exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres (e.g. sulphur and
ammonia vapours, salt mist, fumes) that can cause corrosion and/or
oxidation;
exposure to dust (formation of a corrosive patina with possible
oxidation and reduced insulation);
exposure to water.
Positioning the controller inside the electrical panel

Install the controller inside an electrical panel in a position where it cannot
be reached and is protected from knocks or impacts. The controller should
be placed inside the panel in a position where it is physically separated
from power components (solenoids, contactors, actuators, inverters,
etc.) and their respective cables. The ideal solution is to house these two
circuits in two separate cabinets. Proximity to such devices/cables may
cause random malfunctions that are not immediately evident. The panels
casing must allow an adequate ow of cooling air.

230 Vac digital inputs
Medium and Extralarge models feature one group of 230 Vac inputs
(terminal J8), while Large models have two groups (on terminals J8 and
J19). Each group consists of two digital inputs that can be powered at 230
Vac, indicated with IDH*, and two inputs that can be powered at 24 Vac/
Vdc, indicated with ID*.
The two groups of 230 Vac inputs have double insulation between
themselves and between them and the controller. The digital inputs that
are connected can be the 24 Vac/dc inputs of one group and the 230 Vac
inputs of the other.
The two inputs of each group have the same common pole. Operational
insulation is used. In each group, the digital inputs must be powered
at the same voltage (24 Vac, 28 to 36 Vdc or 230 Vac) in order to avoid
dangerous short-circuits and/or the risk of powering lower-voltage
circuits with 230 Vac electricity.
Note:
the range of uncertainty of the switching threshold is from 43 to 90 Vac;
the voltage must be 230 Vac (+10/-15%), 50/60 Hz.

5.4 Optically-isolated analogue outputs

0 to 10 V analogue outputs
On terminals VG and VG0 the controller provides optically-isolated 0 to
10 V analogue outputs, to be powered externally at the same voltage
powering the controller, i.e. 24 Vac or 28 to 36 Vdc. La gure below
shows the connection diagram. The 0 V supply voltage is also the voltage
reference of the outputs. See the Technical Specications table for details
on the output current, output impedance, etc.
Note:
the analogue output can be connected to module code CONVONOFF0
to convert the 0 to 10 V output into an ON/OFF relay output;
a 0 to 10 Vdc analogue output can be connected in parallel to other
outputs of the same type, or alternatively to an external source of
voltage. The higher voltage will be considered. Correct operation is not
guaranteed if actuators with voltage inputs are connected;
if optical isolation is not required, the VG-VG0 analogue outputs can be
powered at the same voltage on G-G0: connect G0 to VG0 and G to VG.

The controller with a built-in driver can be used to control one or two

ensured in case of power failures. If the controller is powered with DC and the controller, when developing the 1Tool application, if there are
voltage it will not close the valve in case of power failures. devices connected to the FBus2 port (terminal J26) using the Modbus
protocol, developers should take into account the number of variables
exchanged over the entire serial line.
Notes:
the built-in driver replicates all the hardware and logic functions of the
EVD Evolution controller in case of 1 valve and of the EVD Evolution
TWIN controller in case of 2 valves. In other words, it independently
controls one or two electronic expansion valves with two-pole
stepper motors. The only dierence with EVD Evolution is that there
are no output relays. For details on the valve control logic, set-up and
installation, see the EVD Evolution manual (code +0300005IT for single
driver, +0300006IT for double driver);
as with EVD Evolution, the internal driver on the pCO5+ controller
is available in the CAREL and the Universal versions. Universal
models are used to control both CAREL electronic expansion valves
and products made by other manufacturers (see the Technical
Specications table), while CAREL models only control CAREL valves.

to avoid electromagnetic interference, separate as much as possible the probe and digital input cables from the cables carrying inductive loads and the power
cables. Never run power cables and probe signal cables in the same conduits (including the ones in the electrical panels);
the two 230 Vac or 24 Vac/Vdc inputs on terminals J8 (ID13, ID14) or J19 (ID15, ID16) have the same common pole and must therefore be powered at the same
voltage (230 Vac or 24 Vac/Vdc). The two inputs are provided with operational insulation; reinforced insulation is provided between the inputs and the rest of the
controller;
ID1 to ID8, ID9 to ID12, ID17, ID18 are functionally isolated from the rest of the controller;
for DC digital inputs (24 Vdc), either the + or the - can be connected to the common terminal;
the rating of the external contact connected to the digital inputs must be at least 5 mA;.

Warnings:
if the load requires a higher current, use an external SSR;
to power external loads, use the same power supply as the pCO (connected to terminals G-G0); this must always be dedicated and not in common with the
power supply to other devices (e.g. contactors, coils, etc.);
to simplify wiring, the groups of digital outputs have two common pole terminals;
make sure that the current running through the common terminals does not exceed the rated current of each terminal, i.e. 8A.
