Application
AK-PC 781A is complete regulating units for capacity control of
compressors and condensers in refrigeration systems. The con-
troller is with oil management, heat recovery function and CO2
gas pressure control.
In addition to capacity control the controllers can give signals to
other controllers about the operating condition, e.g. forced clos-
ing of expansion valves, alarm signals and alarm messages.
The controller’s main function is to control compressors and
condensers so that operation all the time takes place at the
energy-optimum pressure conditions. Both suction pressure
and condensing pressure are controlled by signals from pressure
transmitters.
Capacity control can be carried out by suction pressure P0, media
temperature S4 or separate control pressure Pctrl (for cascade).
Among the different functions are:
- Capacity control of up to 10 compressors
- Up to 3 unloaders for each compressor
- Oil management. Either shared or individual for all of the com-
pressor's oil valves. Receiver pressure control.
- Speed control of one or two compressors
- Up to 6 safety inputs for each compressor
- Option for capacity limitation to minimize consumption peaks
- When the compressor does not start, signals can be transmitted
to other controllers so that the electronic expansion valves will
be closed
- Regulation of liquid injection into suction line
- Start/stop of liquid injection in heat exchanger (cascade)
- MT/LT - coordination between controllers in cascade control
- Safety monitoring of high pressure / low pressure / discharge
temperature
- Capacity control of up to 8 fans
- Floating reference with regard to outside temperature
- Heat recovery function
- CO2 gas cooler control and receiver control
- Parallel compression on transcritical CO2 system
- Step coupling, speed regulation or a combination
- Safety monitoring of fans
- The status of the outputs and inputs is shown by means of light-
emitting diodes on the front panel
- Alarm signals can be generated via data communication
- Alarms are shown with texts so that the cause of the alarm is
easy to see.
- Plus some completely separate functions that are totally inde-
pendent of the regulation – such as alarm, thermostat ,pressure
and PI-regulating functions.

(For pure booster control without MT cooling, the intermediate pressure
must be connected to the receiver to prevent Pmin and Pmax cut-outs
during the start-up).

Principles
The great advantage of this series of controllers is that it can be
extended as the size of the plant is increased. It has been devel-
oped for refrigeration control systems, but not for any specific
application – variation is created through the read-in software and
the way you choose to define the connections.
It is the same modules that are used for each regulation and the
composition can be changed, as required. With these modules
(building blocks) it is possible to create a multitude of various
kinds of regulations. But it is you who must help adjusting the
regulation to the actual needs – these instructions will assist you
to find your way through all the questions so that the regulation
can be defined and the connections made.
Advantages
• The controller’s size can “grow” as systems grow
• The software can be set for one or more regulations
• Several regulations with the same components
• Extension-friendly when systems requirements are changed
• Flexible concept:
- Controller series with common construction
- One principle – many regulation uses
- modules are selected for the actual connection requirements
- The same modules are used from regulation to regulation
Controller
Top part
Extension modules
A regulation with few connections can
be performed with the controller module
alone
If there are many connections one or more exten-
sion modules have to be mounted
If the system grows and more functions have to be controlled, the regulation can be
extended.
With extra modules more signals can be received and more relays cut in and out –
how many of them – and which – is determined by the relevant application.
Bottom part
The controller is the cornerstone of the regulation. The module has inputs and
outputs capable of handling small systems.
• The bottom part – and hence the terminals – are the same for all controller types.
• The top part contains the intelligence with software. This unit will vary according
to controller type. But it will always be supplied together with the bottom part.
• In addition to the software the top part is provided with connections for data
communication and address setting.

External display
An external display can be fitted in order for P0 (Suction) and Pc
(Condensing) readings to be displayed.
A total of 4 displays can be fitted and with one setting it is pos-
sible to choose between the following readings: suction pressure,
suction pressure in temperature, Pctrl, S4, Ss, Sd, condenser pres-
sure, condenser pressure in temperature, S7 gas cooler tempera-
ture, hot tap water at heat recovery and heat exchanger tempera-
ture at heat recovery.
A graphical display with control buttons can also be fitted.
Direct connection
Setup and operation of an AK controller must be accomplished via
the “AK-Service Tool” software program.
The program is installed on a PC, and setup and operation of
the various functions are carried out via the controller’s menu
displays.
Displays
The menu displays are dynamic, so that different settings in one
menu will result in different setting possibilities in other menus.
A simple application with few connections will give a setup with
few settings.
A corresponding application with many connections will give a
setup with many settings.
From the overview display there is access to further displays for
the compressor regulation and the condenser regulation.
At the bottom of the display there is access to a number of general
functions, such as “time table”, “manual operation”, “log function”,
“alarms”, and “service” (configuration).
Network linking
The controller can be linked up into a network together with other
controllers in an ADAP-KOOL® refrigeration control system. After
the setup operation can be performed at a distance with, say, our
software program type AKM.
Users
The controller comes supplied with several languages, one of
which can be selected and employed by the user. If there are sev-
eral users, they may each have their choice of language. All users
must be assigned a user profile which either gives access to full
operation or gradually limits the operation to the lowest level that
only allows you“to see”.
Language selection is part of the service tool settings.
If the language selection is not available in the service tool for the
current regulator, English texts will be displayed.

Alarm
Error
Light-emitting diodes
A number of light-emitting diodes makes it possible to follow the
signals that are received and transmitted by the controller.
Log
From the log function you can define the measurements you wish
to be shown.
The collected values can be printed, or you may export them to a
file. You can open the file in Excel.
If you are in a service situation you can show measurements in a
trend function. The measurements are then made real-time and
displayed instantly.
Alarm
The display gives you an overview of all active alarms. If you wish
to confirm that you have seen the alarm you can cross it off in the
acknowledge field.
If you want to know more about a current alarm you can click on it
and obtain an information display on the screen.
A corresponding display exists for all earlier alarms. Here you can
upload information if you need further details about the alarm
history.
Trouble-shooting
The controller contains a function that continuously follows
a number of measurements and deals with them. The result
indicates whether the function is OK or whether an error may be
expected within a given period of time (“the trip down the roller
coaster has started”). At this time an alarm is transmitted about
the situation – no error has appeared as yet, but it will come.
One example may be slow clogging-up of a condenser. When the
alarm comes the capacity has been reduced, but the situation is
not serious. There will be time to plan a service call.

2. Design of a controller
This section describes how the controller is designed.
The controller in the system is based on a uniform connection
platform where any deviations from regulation to regulation is
determined by the used top part with a specific software and
by which input and output signals the relevant application will
require. If it is an application with few connections, the controller
module (top part with belonging bottom part) may be sufficient.
If it is an application with many connections it will be necessary to
use the controller module plus one or more extension modules.
This section will give you a survey of possible connections plus
assistance in selecting the modules required by your actual ap-
plication.

Bottom part
Module survey
• Controller module – capable of handling minor plant require-
ments.
• Extension modules. When the complexity becomes greater
and additional inputs or outputs are required, modules can be
attached to the controller. A plug on the side of the module will
transmit the supply voltage and data communication between
the modules.
• Top part
The upper part of the controller module contains the intelli-
gence. This is the unit where the regulation is defined and where
data communication is connected to other controllers in a big-
ger network.
• Connection types
There are various types of inputs and outputs. One type may, for
example, receive signals from sensors and switches, another may
receive a voltage signal, and a third type may be outputs with
relays etc. The individual types are shown in the table below.
• Optional connection
When a regulation is planned (set up) it will generate a need for
a number of connections distributed on the mentioned types.
This connection must then be made on either the controller
module or an extension module. The only thing to be observed
is that the types must not be mixed (an analog input signal must
for instance not be connected to a digital input).
• Programming of connections
The controller must know where you connect the individual
input and output signals. This takes place in a later configura-
tion where each individual connection is defined based on the
following principle:
- to which module
- at which point (”terminals”)
- what is connected (e.g. pressure transmitter/type/
pressure range)
If the row of modules needs to
be interrupted due to length or
external positioning, a communi-
cation module should be used.

Controller
Function
There are several controllers in the series. The function is deter-
mined by the programmed software, but outwardly the control-
lers are identical – they all have the same connection possibilities:
11 analog inputs for sensors, pressure transmitters, voltage signals
and contact signals.
8 digital outputs, with 4 Solid state outputs and 4 relay outputs
Supply voltage
24 V a.c. or d.c. to be connected to the controller.
The 24 V must not be retransmitted and used by other control-
lers as it is not galvanically separated from inputs and outputs. In
other words, you must use a transformer for each controller. Class
II is required. The terminals must not be earthed.
The supply voltage to any extension modules is transmitted via
the plug on the right-hand side.
The size of the transformer is determined by the power require-
ment of the total number of modules.
The supply voltage to a pressure transmitter can be taken either
from the 5 V output or from the 12 V output depending on trans-
mitter type.
Data communication
If the controller is to be included in a system, communication
must take place via the LON connection.
The installation has to be made as mentioned in the separate
instructions for LON communication.
Address setting
When the controller is connected to a gateway type AKA 245,
the controller’s address must be set between 1 and 119. (If it is a
system manager AK-SM .., then 1-999).
Service PIN
When the controller is connected to the data communication
cable the gateway must have knowledge of the new controller.
This is obtained by pushing the key PIN. The LED“Status”will flash
when the gateway sends an acceptance message.
Operation
The configuration operation of the controller must take place
from the software program“Service Tool”. The program must be
installed on a PC, and the PC must be connected to the controller
via the USB-B plug on the front of the unit.
Light-emitting diodes
There are two rows with LED’s. They mean:
Left row:
• Voltage supply to the controller
• Communication active with the bottom PC board (red = error)
• Status of outputs DO1 to DO8
Right row:
• Software status (slow flash = OK)
• Communication with Service Tool
• Communication on LON
• Communication with AK-CM 102
• Alarm when LED flashes
- 1 LED that is not used
• Communication with display on RJ11 plug
• “Service Pin” switch has been activated
A small module (option board) can be placed on the bottom part
of the controller. The module is described later in the document.

Extension module AK-XM 204A / AK-XM 204B
AK-XM 204A AK-XM 204B
Max. 230 V
AC-1: max. 4 A (ohmic)
AC-15: max. 3 A (Inductive)
Function
The module contains 8 relay outputs.
Supply voltage
The supply voltage to the module comes from the previous mod-
ule in the row.
AK-XM 204B only
Override of relay
Eight change-over switches at the front make it possible to over-
ride the relay’s function.
Either to position OFF or ON.
In position Auto the controller carries out the control.
Light-emitting diodes
There are two rows with LED’s. They mean:
Left row:
• Voltage supply to the controller
• Communication active with the bottom PC board (red = error)
• Status of outputs DO1 to DO8
Right row: (AK-XM 204B only):
• Override of relays
ON = override
OFF = no override
Fuses
Behind the upper part there is a fuse for each output.
Keep the safety distance!
Low and high voltage
must not be connected to
the same output group
AK-XM 204B
Override of relay
Note
If the changeovers are used to override the compressor operation,
it is necessary to wire a safety relay into the circuit for oil manage-
ment. Without this safety relay, the controller will fail to stop the
compressor if it should run out of oil. See Regulating functions.
