1.3 Operation of the service serial port

The service serial port (par. 2.5) is used to access all the EVD4 parameters even when the instrument is
P T
already installed and operating; to do this, the special converter is required (CVSTDUTTL0 or CVSTD0TTL0),
plus a PC with USB or RS232 serial port. “APPENDIX I - Installing and using the EVD4-UI program” describes
the installation and operation of the EVD4_UI software that is used to configure the controller.
Fig. 1.1 The converter can power the logical section of the EVD4 (but not the expansion valve), and therefore this
can be configured from the PC without having to connect the instrument to the 24 Vac power supply.
1.4 Setting the network address

The EVD4 operating parameters, including the network address, reside on the EEPROM; to modify the va-
lues, access the service serial port using the EVD4-UI software: connect the special converter (CVSTDUTTL0
pGD1 user in ter face
or CVSTD0TTL0) to the service serial port (Fig. 2.8) and a PC with USB or RS232 serial port, then start the
“EVD4_U Key” connection, as described in “APPENDIX I - Installing and using the EVD4-UI Address” and set
the Net address parameter; in the box at the top right of the interface, the “Network address” item will show
the new value of the address, after having pressed the “READ” button. If not changed by the user, the Net
E2V address parameter will have the following default values:
EV driver

2.5 Service serial port

Allows access to the functions of the EVD4; via PC. To access this connector:
1) Remove the cover by levering it with a screwdriver on the central notch (Fig. 2.7).
2) Locate the white 4-pin connector and insert the special converter cable (Fig. 2.8).
Connect the USB cable to the PC; if the EVD4 is not powered by the 24 Vac line, it will take its power
supply from the serial converter.
Once the supervisor has been connected, start an application with the supervisor protocol at 4800 baud
on network address 1, for example via EVD4_UI (see APPENDIX I).
This serial port can be connected and disconnected without needing to remove the USB cable from
the PC.

WARNING: if a EVD4 unit is erroneously connected to a controller with a different communication EVD4
protocol (e.g. EVD000*40* with pCO via pLAN) and is then connected to a unit with the
same protocol (e.g. EVD000*40* with pCO or µC2 via tLAN), the first time that the EVD4 is G Vbat DI1 S4V S3 S2 S1

configurations so as to display the set of parameters that is suitable for the type of installation the EVD4 is used
in; to do this, make the connection using the name of the required configuration. The interface configuration
for µC2 is shown in Fig. 3.5 and is activated by making the “EVD4_UI MCH2” connection.
as described in APPENDIX I “INSTALLING AND USING THE EVD4_UI PROGRAM”.
3.1.4 Start-up
After having connected the EVD4, as described in 3.1.1, connect the service serial port to a PC using the
special converter and configure the values of the parameters and the address using the software described
in 3.1.3 according to the application and/or systems used.
The parameters can be accessed for read and write even if the EVD4 is not powered, as the converter or
the programming key provide the power supply to the driver, excluding the valve.

Below is the list of parameters; the meaning of each is detailed in APPENDIX II, while APPENDIX III shows a
list of the values of the reference parameters in relation to the most common applications.
In the standard application, the EVD4 read and write parameters are organised into three groups, accessible
from a pCO terminal: input/output, maintenance and manufacturer
The SYSTEM SET level must be compiled, as this contains the information on what is physically installed
in the system. Selecting the type of driver and enabling any advanced functions will allow access to
specific fields/masks in this or other menus.
The AUTO SETUP level of parameters must also be compiled, and contains fundamental information on
the type of unit.
The ADVANCED SET branch is not required for standard superheat control and is provided for expert
users and/or to implement non-standard functions.

3.6.3 Communication protocole

The protocol is implemented according to the envisaged specifications so that the device belongs to the
BASIC class, with the possibility of setting some parameters (REGULAR class).
Value Default
Address From 1 to 247 1
Broadcast Detect messages with 0 ---
Baudrate 4800, 9600, 19200 19200
Parity None, even, odd none
Mode RTU
Interface RS485
Setting the UNICAST address

The Modbus address can be selected using the “EVD4_UI Address” connection as described in “Ap-
pendix I – Installing and using the EVD4-UI program”, within the envisaged range. Values from 248 to
255 are reserved. If set to one of these values or 0, the FW sets the default value without modifying the
parameter in the E2prom. After setting the new value, the device needs to be switched off and on again
to make it effective.
Setting the BROADCAST address
Broadcast messages (with address 0) can be sent, and will be write-only messages.
The command will be executed, if possible, without any response.
Parity selection mode
The parity is selected using the same program for setting the “EVD4_UI Address”, as described in “Ap-
pendix I – Installing and using the EVD4-UI program”, setting bit 1.2 of parameter CfgProt. Specifically:
CfgProt Bit0 Bit1 Bit2 ModBus parity
1 1 0 0 None
3 1 1 0 Even
5 1 0 1 Odd
If no parity is selected, the number of stop bits will be 2 (default). After setting the new value, the device
needs to be switched off and on again to make it effective.
Modbus messages
The Modbus messages codes are:
01 Read Coil Status
02 Read Input Status
These two messages have the same effect as reading digital variables.
03 Read Holding Registers
04 Read Input Registers
These two messages have the same effect as reading analogue/integer variables.
05 Force Single Coil
06 Preset Single Register
15 Force Multiple Coils
16 Preset Multiple Regs
A maximum number of 8 variables can be written with commands 15 and 16.
17 Report Slave ID
The message is structured as follows, as regards the data part:
Description Type
ON status Run indicator: 0xFF or 0x00 depending on whether the device is actively control- byte
ling or not
Peripheral type: high part and low part of the device code word

Error messages (exceptions)
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION
The requested function is not available on the device.
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS
The requested address, or one of the requested addresses for a read command is
invalid. This message will be returned as a response whenever attempting to read an
unavailable address.
03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE
Whenever attempting to write a read-only variable, or alternatively when attem
pting to individually write a coil with values that are not envisaged by the protocol
(other than FF00 and 0000).
NOTE: in all other cases, the device does not check the values of the variables that
can be written, but simply whether the message is valid, using the CRC; the correct
ness of the values is checked by the supervisor.
ENGLISH
06 SLAVE DEVICE BUSY

If for example the command involves executing actions that require a certain time
to be completed. In this case the supervisor must send the command again subse
quently.
3.6.4 Supervisor variable mapping

The supervisor variables have been grouped into two main classes: read-only, which are reserved the
lower ModBus addresses, and read/write, according to the following table:
MODBUS VARIABLES (EVD0001460)
MODBUS TYPE MODBUS INDEX CAREL TYPE
REGISTER 1 to 16 ANALOGUE (R ONLY)
REGISTER 50 to 86 ANALOGUE (R/W)
REGISTER 128 to 150 INTEGER (R ONLY)
REGISTER 163 to 231 INTEGER (R/W)
COIL 1 to 20 DIGITAL (R ONLY)
COIL 51 to 84 DIGITAL (R/W)
The correspondence between the Carel supervisor addresses of the variables and the ModBus device
addresses is as follows (for a complete description of the parameter corresponding to the variables, see

The EVD4_UI user interface is based on the CAREL supervisor protocol and is designed for the easy
and intuitive reading or configuration of the control parameters. The program can be started in different
configurations so as to display the set of parameters that is suitable for the type of installation the EVD4
is used in; to do this, make the connection using the name of the required configuration.
ENGLISH
Fig. 3.27
The interface configuration for the ‘positioner’ function is shown in Fig. 3.21 and is activated by making
the “EVD4_UI stand alone” connection, as described in APPENDIX I “INSTALLING AND USING THE
EVD4_UI PROGRAM”.
3.6.6 Start-up
After having connected the EVD4, as described in 3.5.1, connect the service serial port to a PC via the
special converter and configure the parameters and the address using according to the application and/
or systems used. The controller is already enabled; to switch off the EVD4, disable the Stand-alone
variable or modify the status of digital input D1 (Fig. 2.1) and run the supervisor program (i.e. PlantVisor)
to monitor the system.

Secondary:
Ch low Superheat: Recommended value 2°C with superheat set point greater than 4°C.
If the superheat set point is lower, the low superheat threshold must also be reduced, guaranteeing a
difference of at least 2 °C between the two.
Low SH int. time: Recommended value 1.0 seconds with a threshold of 2°C. If the threshold is lower,
the time must also be reduced to 0.5 seconds. N.B.: A value of 0 (zero) seconds completely disables the
protection.
LOP cool mode: Recommended value from 5 °C to 10 °C below the typical minimum saturated evapo-
ration temperature of the installation. Example: for chillers with a rated evaporation temperature of 3 °C
and a minimum tolerated evaporation temperature of -1 °C, set the LOP Limit to -6 °C
LOP integral time: Recommended value 2 seconds, to be increased to approx. 10 seconds if the action
is too intense (excessive opening of the valve as a response to low pressure) and reduced to 1 second
if the action is insufficient (excessively low evaporation temperature). N.B.: A value of 0 (zero) seconds
completely disables the protection.
MOP startup delay: Recommended value 60 seconds, however the changeability of the starting dyna-
mics of different units means the time needs to be optimised: in the set time the evaporation pressure
must fall below the value set for “MOP cool mode” to effectively activate the MOP.
MOP cool mode: The value set depends on the refrigerating unit and its design, and is indeed a design
value of the unit: no recommendations can be made.
MOP integral time: Recommended value 2 seconds, to be increased to approx. 10 seconds if the action
is too intense (excessive closing of the valve as a response to high pressure) and reduced to 1 second if
the action is insufficient (excessively high evaporation temperature).
N.B.: A value of 0 (zero) seconds completely disables the protection.

fied representation of an cycle control individual:

IV.II Pid control law

PID control in its simplest form is defined by the following law
u(t)= Kpe(t) + Ki∫e(t)dt + Kd de(t) oppure u(t)= K e(t) + 1 ∫e(t)dt + Td de(t)

dt Ti dt
This means that the control is calculated as the sum of three contributions:
P or proportional action Ke(t) (k = proportional gain)
I or integral action K ∫e(t)dt (Ti = integral time)
Ti
D or derivative action
K ∫e(t)dt (Td = derivative time)
Ti
hence the definition ‘PID control’.
IV.III Proportional action

EFFECT OF K
Increasing the value of the proportional gain, increases the reactivity of the valve, to the limit
where this may cause instability and not reach the set point with precision. This depends on the
ratio between the circuit capacity and the valve capacity, and on the maximum number of valve
control steps.
The proportional action guarantees control over the process variable that is proportional to the system
error at the instant t. The controller performs a corrective action on the control variable, at the instant t,
that is equal to u(t)=K*e(t)= K*(y(t)-y0(t)).
The proportional action follows the logic whereby the greater the error, instant by instant, the more
EVD4 +030220227 - rel. 2.0 - 13.02.2008 41
intense the action on the process so as to bring the controlled variable to the desired value.
It is important to note that this has a value other than zero only if the error is not zero: therefore, in
steady operation this is ideally zero. In reality, in steady operation (stable at the set point) it still follows
the fluctuations in the controlled variable due, for example, to measurement noise, and it can be shown
that alone it may not reach the set point, maintaining a certain deviation from the latter.
The proportional action makes its contribution in the initial transient periods; then, when the error
decreases, it loses effectiveness.
To determine the proportional gain K, consider the relationship between the input and output of a
controller to be purely proportional, as shown in the figure, for two values different of the gain, where
the input and the output are represented as percentages of their field of variation:
Controller Controller
Output Output
100% 100%
ENGLISH
error error
proportional band proportional band
full-scale error full-scale error
Fig. 3
Defining the variation in the input (as a percentage of its field of variation) as the proportional band BP
that causes a 100% variation in the output, if the input and output signals have the same physical type
and vary within the same field of values (for example 4 to 20 mA), the gain K is: Kp= 100
BP%
In the first diagram in Fig. 3, Bp=50%, hence Kp=2, while in the second BP=10% and thus Kp=10. The
proportional action of the PID controllers is set by the operator as the proportional band changes.
EXAMPLE: Consider the case of a controller with a 4 to 20 mA input and 0 to 10 V output: when
BP=10%, a 1.6 mA variation in the input produces a variation from 0 to 10 V at the output, that is, the
total gain is 10/1.6=6.25 V/mA.
In the case of the SH PID:

Q valve = capacity in kW of the electronic expansion valve in the same operating conditions as Q

IV.IV Integral action

EFFECT OF Ti
Increasing the value of the integral time Ti, the valve reaches the set point more slowly but
avoids excessive swings. This depends on the type of evaporator and the inertia of the circuit.
The integral action is used to guarantee that the error is null in steady state. Indeed, the integral action
is not zero if there is no error; quite the opposite, if for example the error remains stable, it continues to
increase linearly, following the principle whereby “until the controlled variable decides to move in the
direction I want, I will continue to apply an increasingly intense action”. Consequently, the integral action
not only considers the current value, at the instant of the error, but also the past values.
As a result, if steady state is reached, that is, the error is null, the only contribution to control will be the
42 EVD4 +030220227 - rel. 2.0 - 13.02.2008
integral action. It is almost always the integral action that dominates the way in which the system reaches
steady operation.
The integral action by definition does not make “jumps” and therefore is the slowest to react. Indeed, it
has almost no effect during the initial transient periods: these periods are dominated by the other two
actions. To define the integral time, the PI action is considered: u(t)= Kpe(t) + Ki∫e(t)dt
and the response of the two terms to the step change (i.e. +10%), as shown in the figure:
} A
% } B Key
A integral action
Output B proportional action
ENGLISH
C Ti integral action time
% +10
Error 0

Time
C
Fig. 5
Integral time (reset time, integral constant or doubling time) is defined as the time required for the
response of the I part to be equal to that of the P part. That is, the total response to the step change is
double the value of the proportional part alone.
In the case of the SH PID, the integral time depends on the type of evaporator (plate, tube bundle, ...)
and the thermal inertia of the circuit; the more ‘reactive’ the system, the lower the contribution of the
integral action must be.
IV.V Derivative action

EFFECT OF Td
Increasing the value of the derivative time Tp decreases swings, however there may be
fluctuations around the set point.
The derivative action makes the control depend on the “future” of the error, that is, on the direction it is
moving in and the speed it varies. In fact, the derivative action calculates an estimate for the error after t
seconds based on the trend of the curve at the instant t (see the following figure) and therefore ensures
that control will depend on a prediction of the error Td at a future instant of time.
e(t)
B
= Td de(t)

= e(t+Td)-e(t)
Fig. 6
The derivative action “tries to understand where the error is going and how fast it is moving” and reacts
as a consequence; the parameter Td determines how far into the future the prediction is made.
The derivative action is the fastest to react (including to measurement noise, unfortunately) and is only
helpful if the prediction is good, that is, if Td is not too high compared to the temporal changes in the
error: the difference can be seen by examining cases A and B in the figure.
The derivative action is ideally null in steady state, however in reality it follows and tends to amplify
the measurement noise; therefore, it is only useful in the initial transient periods. It may be very useful,
however it is also dangerous, above all if the measurement of the controlled variable is noisy.
