4 Connecting Controler If the controller is not already wired to the SelfSensing drives you will want to run communication wire between them. The wire location for the controller is shown below The location of the communication wire from Drive 1 at positions (+)68 & (-) The location to the 24VDC power to the controller from drive 1 positions 12(24V DC) & 20(Common). 3. The location of the communication wire to the Building Management System (BACnet or Modbus). 4. The location on the controller for the Run/Stop command for all pumps will require a jumper at ID1 & GRD. 2 4 Wiring to the other SelfSensing pumps. Wire will need to be supplied by installer for this operation. For the SelfSensing pumps to operate in parallel they will need to be daisy chained together. All wiring is to be 20AWG copper, stranded twisted pair Installer is to run shielded wire twisted pair for communication at positions (+)68 & (-)69 Installer will need to run wire from positions 12(24V DC) & 20(Common) so that if one drive should be powered off then the MPC will stay active for the other drives still powered on. Illustration of wiring is displayed on the next page. 4

6 Button Discription The escape button is set as a global escape. This will quit the current function and bring you back to the main screen from any of the menus. Start-up/Initialization Turn each pump to Auto On then connect power to the Multi-pump control. Upon start-up the system will go through an initialization procedure. See Startup/Installation procedure for instructions on setting up the control. The initialization procedure will include the following steps: 2

7 1. Finding the drives connected via the Modbus communication channel. These drive must be have address 1-4 with no drive having the same address. The drive the control finds will be initialized to Online if no drive is present it will be left blank. The third state Offline is for drive that are connected but not to be used. 2. Setting each drive to the correct parameters for control. 3. Starting each drive/pump to reach its maximum speed, this checks the drive for functionality. If changes need to be made to system setting, for example maximum speed, then leave the Modbus connections unconnected. The system will start-up with no errors then changes can be made. Pump number is set by address. With the default settings Pump 1 is at address 1, Pump 2 is at address 2. The lead pump will be the one with the lowest address. When the initialization procedure is done the Initializing will change to Offline. If during initialization or run time the ramp up and ramp down times of the drive are too slow or too fast this should be changed to the individual drives. This is done under 3-80 Jog Ramp Time. The control initializes this to seconds. Changing this value may result in having an effect on the PID, proceed with caution. System Display To Display the system variable scroll down to the selected system using the up/down buttons, line below pump 4, and press the enter button. The following screen will appear. Each pump can have one of three different states: 1. Running if pump is Online and running. 2. Stopped if pump is Online but not running. 3. Blank if no pump is present. The Flow, Head and Power will be continuously updated from information read from the drives. The total flow is the sum of each pumps individual flow. The total head is the average head of all pumps running. The power is the sum of all the power being used. 3

8 Pump Status and Settings Each pump will have an identical menu structure, one will be shown here for simplicity. Scroll down to the desired pump using the up/down buttons then press enter, Pump 1 is selected in this example. The Flow, Head and Power will be displayed for the pump selected.

Alarms/Errors There are two alarms that will require user intervention. The first is a Modbus alarm, this is usually do to a break in the Modbus connection. The second is a no flow condition from a pump that is running. For the Modbus alarm do a quick check of connectivity between the control and the Pump. If a quick fix can be made and the system is functional restore connectivity, the alarm will reset when connectivity is reestablished and the system will continue to function as normal. If not then follow the following steps, these steps are required for the no flow alarm: 1. Bring the pump offline (see page 5). 2. Change the number of pumps (see page 21). 32

37 3. Fix the problem. 4. Bring the pump back online. 5. Change the number of pumps. The system will then function as normal. If there are any difficulties call Taco Comfort Solutions Technical Services. Run Control The user is able to control if the system is running or not by the state of a relay between Pins ID1 and GND on J8 and the state of the system resume function. If the Relay is closed the Unit will function in whatever mode the user select. As soon as this relay is opened the system will go offline shutting down all the pumps. The state of the control when the relay is closed again depends the selection of the system resume menu selection. Startup/Installation Instructions and Checklist Instructions to start up a new system. If the system is already running and flow cannot be interrupted call Taco Comfort Solutions technical services for instructions. 1. With the power off to the controller unplug the Modbus connection to the VFD s 2. Power up the controller 3. Set Address VFD s (1-4), make sure they match in the control. There can t be a duplicate, this will cause errors. 4. Set/Check the Flow/Pressure setting(s) for desired Curve. 5. Set Alternation Time. 6. Turn off power to the control then plug in the Modbus connection to the VFD s. 7. Repower the control, the control should discover all the drives connected. 8. When the initialization is complete set the number of pumps. * 9. After the number of pumps is set start the control by selecting the function to run. 33

38 10. When the system is up and running normally fill out the installed values in the table on pages 32. * The number of pumps should be set to the number of pumps that can be running at any one time. For example, if there are 3 pumps but only 2 should be running at any one time, the third is alternated in, then set the number of pumps to 2. 34
