Demand limit control. Maximum motor current
draw can be set on the panel, or can be adjusted
from a remote 4-20 ma or 1-5 VDC BAS
signal. This feature controls maximum demand
charges during high usage periods.
Condenser water temperature control.
Capable
of four stages of tower fan control plus an
optional analog control of either a three-way
tower-bypass valve or variable speed tower-fan
motor. Stages are controlled from condenser-
water temperature. The three-way valve can be
controlled to a different water temperature or
track the current tower stage. This allows
optimum chilled water plant performance based
upon specific job requirements.
Staging Options (Multiple Chiller
Installations). Lead-lag and load-balance: the
MicroTech II controller is capable of
compressor lead-lag decisions and balancing
compressor loads between two compressors on
one unit or two separate Magnitude chillers,
using defaults or operator defined staging. For
example, in the 30 to 60 percent load segment,
one compressor running on each of two chillers
will provide better efficiency than two
compressors running on one chiller.
Plotting Historic Trends
. Past operation of the
chiller can be plotted as trend lines and even
downloaded to spread sheets for evaluation - a
valuable tool for optimizing efficiency.
Versatile Communications Capabilities
Give You Even More Control
For complete flexibility there are four ways to
interface with the MicroTech II controller:
1. Direct entry and readout locally at the operator
interface panel on the unit.
2. Direct entry as above plus digital and analog
input/output signals for certain functions such
as: enable run input, alarm signal output, 4-20
ma or 0-5 VDC inputs for chilled water reset
and load limiting, pump and tower fan control,
analog output for variable speed fan and tower
bypass.
3. Interface with BACnet, L
ONWORKS, or
Modbus.
4. Direct communication between three
Magnitude WMC chillers (not compatible with
WME models).
Building Automation Systems
All MicroTech II controllers are capable of
communications providing seamless integration
and comprehensive monitoring, control, and two-
way data exchange with industry standard
protocols LonTalk
