pCO
The figure below shows all the components and optional devices of pCO dedicated to the control
and regulation of refrigeration units.
Main card
The microprocessor-based main card is the
intelligent part of the system since it carries out
the regulation program. It comes complete with
terminals dedicated to the connection of the main
devices (eg. valves, compressors, fans). The
software is contained in the Eprom whereas all
parameters set by the User will be permanently
stored (also in the event of power source failure)
into the EEprom.
The main card can be connected to the Rs422
serial line so as to provide
supervisory/telemaintenance services (standard
RS422 and Carel communication protocol).

Terminal
The terminal unit - managed by the microprocessor - comes complete with display, keypad and led
indicators. Setting the main control parameters (set-points, differential, alarm thresholds) and
performing any other operation is extremely simple.
The terminal unit must be connected to the main card only when programming the instrument; after
that, the two units can be disconnected.
The terminal unit enables you to perform the following operations:
•initial programming via password;
•possibility of modifying run-time any working parameter;
•display of any alarm condition (via alarm messages and buzzer);
•display of all measured values.

User Interface
Display
The Liquid Crystal Display shows the values of the controlled variables, selected set-points, alarm
thresholds and any other information concerning the status of the unit. In the event of an off-normal
condition, a special alarm message will appear on the display.
Keypad
pCO comes complete with a 15 button keypad. Keypad and display represent the User Interface.
Each button has a specific function, as listed below:
ON / OFF Operates and stops compressors and fans.
ALARM Goes to the first active alarm mask and turns off the buzzer. If pressed a
second time on the active alarm mask, it resets the alarm and returns to the
first mask again. If you press this button and there are no active alarms, the
message 'NO ACTIVE ALARM' will appear on the display. All alarm masks
can be scrolled by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons.
UP & DOWN When the cursor is on the HOME position, these buttons allow you to read all
the masks of a specific section (masks are organized in a loop structure).
When the cursor is within a numeric field, the UP & DOWN button allow you
to increase and decrease the value on which the cursor is positioned. When
the cursor is on a choice field, pressing these buttons allows you to display all
the options available (eg. Yes/No).
ENTER When the cursor is on the selection masks, press ENTER once to move the
cursor to the first introduction field. Press ENTER again to confirm the set
value and to move the cursor to the next field. When the cursor reaches the
last field, it will return to the HOME position again (cursor at position 0,0 on
the display).
MENU Press it to go to the MENU mask.
INFO Press it to go to the M_INFO1 mask.
MAINT Press it to go to the M_MAINT1 mask.
PRINT Usable only in models with printer.
I/O Press it to go to the IN_OUT1 mask.
TIME Press it to go to the CLOCK1 mask.

Ver. 1.0 dated 21/10/94 8
SET Press it to go to the M_SET1 mask.
PRG Press PROG to prompt the password. Introduce the correct password to gain
access to the M_SERVICE mask.
MENU+PROG Press and release the MENU and PROG buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Then, introduce the password to gain access to the CONF_MACHINE1 mask.
Led Indicators
The keypad buttons and the green led indicators are placed side by side. Any time you press a
button, the corresponding green led will light up thus making it easier to identify which mask
section you are using.
When pressing the MENU+PROG buttons to gain access to the configuration parameters, it is the
led indicator corresponding to the PROG button that will light up.
There are other three led indicators under the following rubber buttons:
1. ON / OFF button green led indicator -
Indicates that the unit is ON.
2. ALARM button red led indicator -
Indicates an alarm condition.
3. ENTER button yellow led indicator -
Indicates correct power supply.
