PROCESSOR MODULE
This module contains the
operating software and controls the operation of the
machine. It continuously monitors information received
from the various temperature thermistors and communi-
cates with the relay module to increase or decrease the
active stages of capacity. The processor module also
controls the EXV driver module, commanding it to open
or close each electronic expansion valve in order to main-
tain approximately 20 F of superheat
t h e
cylinders of each of the
compressors, Information is
transmitted between the processor module and the relay
module, EXV driver
a n d k e y b u a r d d i s p l a y
module through a 3-wire communications bus.

EXV (ELECTRONIC EXPANSION
DRIVER
MODULE -- The EXV driver module operates the elec-
tronic expansion valves (based on commands from the
processor) and monitors the status of the
pressure
switches and the refrigerant Ioss of charge switches.
If the loss of charge switch opens due
to
a low refrig-
erant charge, the EXV driver module detects a zero
voltage condition in the loss of charge switch electrical
circuit and communicates this information to the pro-
cessor module. The processor module immediately shuts
down all compressors in the affected refrigeration circuit.
During operation, if the EXV driver module detects
zero voltage in the oil pressure switch electrical circuit
for 45 consecutive seconds (due to an open oil pressure
switch), it communicates this information to the pro-
cessor module. The processor module
down
compressors in the affected refrigeration
At start-up, if the oil pressure switch has not closed by the
end of a
time period the EXV driver module
senses this and the processor module immediately shuts
down all compressors in the affected refrigeration circuit.
If a shutdown occurs due to loss of
or low oil
pressure, the EXV
module communicates this to
the processor module and the processor module locks the
compressors off in the affected refrigeration circuit.
The proper fault code(s) will appear on the display
whenever a safety switch opens.

LOW-VOLTAGE RELAY MODULE -- This module
closes contacts to
compressors, solenoid valves
and unloaders. It also senses the condition of the com-
pressor safeties and transmits this information to the
processor module.
