If the measurement on the external gauge at the transducer does not match the discharge pressure reading at the PC. the controller should be calibrated to reflect the same pressure measurement as that measured at the Line transducer location. The value change can be immediately observed at the controller and at the PC. The variance value will be added to or subtracted from each measurement received by the controller. Use the following steps to calibrate the WS Controller Line pressure reading (refer to Figure 711): 1. click on the “Admin” tab to access the Administrator Adjustments display. 2.6.WSPC USER INTERFACE MANUAL P2 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER CALIBRATION The Line pressure transducer input measurement is assigned to analog input AI4 at the controller. observe the Line pressure reading in the “Compressor Status Bar. 4.

VSD Package Settings Figure 7-13: Administrator Adjustments 64 . This pressure transducer measures the output line pressure at the compressor main header. but may be increased. Enter the desired frequency multiplied by 10 (e.or small-volume systems may benefit from some adjustment. and this setting is 0. the factory settings are satisfactory for normal compressor operation. Consult the factory if stability problems are encountered. additional VSD related adjustments are available on the Admin display. this setting may be increased to eliminate drive overvoltage during deceleration. 65 . this is not recommended and can cause improper machine operation. The factory settings are based on standard motors. Power calibration—The power indicator sets the nominal (100%) power value for the machine operating under typical conditions. the frequency will be required to be entered manually to control the range of operation. unless a specific SFA is shown. Slower settings will reduce system stability. Maximum motor amps. This should normally be set to 100. and may require additional air storage. Slow Acc/Dec—Setting for controlling VSD acceleration and deceleration. Maximum Speed—If Autoset is enabled.g. 250 for 25. For example. set the Autoset % to 80 to operate a 50HP compressor at 40HP maximum.15. 2. The WS Controller will calculate the necessary speed adjustments whenever the setpoint is changed. multiply the 460V nameplate ratings by 1. 814 for 81.SECTION 7 VSD PACKAGE SETTINGS When a VSD compressor is connected to the WSPC. This is shown on the drive nameplate. These values. This value may be adjusted as needed for specific applications and operating conditions. If it is desired to run the compressor at less than full capacity. For 460V/60Hz motors connected 400V/60Hz. If a special motor is applied. VSD Package Settings The VSD Package Settings are described below (ref. Autoset may be disabled by setting this value to 0 % allowing the speed to be adjusted manually. This value may be adjusted as needed for specific applications and operating conditions. Autoset %—Allows speed adjustments to be made automatically when changes in the Setpoint pressure are made causing the compressor to operate at its full rated power capability. However. See Figure 7-13.g. Should modification of the parameters be necessary. If Autoset is disabled... Rated drive current. In most cases. located in the right side of the screen are only displayed when a VSD machine is connected. 1. adjust the VSD Package Settings in the same manner as described in Assigning Digital Inputs on page 62. Minimum Speed—is normally left at the factory setting. extremely large. This should be set for the LOWER of: Figure 7-14: VSD Package Settings Flow calibration—The flow indicator sets the nominal (100%) flow value for the machine operating under typical conditions. Enter the desired frequency multiplied by 10 (e. This is FLA times service factor. the maximum speed will be set automatically as appropriate for the machine and setpoint pressure. However. Additional stability functions are built into the controls that make these values non-critical and virtually eliminate the need for tuning. This will usually be the limit for most 460V compressors. simply set this to a lower value. Motor Protect Amps—Maximum amp setting for VSD operation.

To read a register: 1. and enter the desired register number. 3. and enter the desired value. If a dryer fault occurs. 4. Start Up Load Delay—This is set to 5 minutes default whenever integrated dryer operation is initially selected. This will be recorded as a WS controller warning. Click the "Dryer" tab to show the dryer setup display. the dryer also starts. the settings may be changed. This will always show the current settings. If the compressor is stopped. These settings are administrator-level and are intended for trained servicers only. and enter the desired register number. but the compressor will initially be forced to run unloaded for Figure 7-18: Modbus Registers 69 . Click in the Value box. This may be used to disable all dryer functions during service. Correct the source of the fault. and to reconnect all wiring and piping when service is completed. Be sure to disconnect all wiring and piping to the dryer during service. Always use the decimal format when doing this. Click the “Decimal” format. Click the “Read” button to get the current value. and a fault will be recorded into the WS controller.SECTION 7 WSPC USER INTERFACE MANUAL READING AND WRITING SPECIFIC REGISTERS The Administrator is also able to select a specific register for monitoring or changing. Click in the Address box for the Input or Holding register. 5. Integrated Dryer—Whenever this setting is changed. dryer faults will stop operation of the dryer only. This is available on WS controller software version 02250174-082. the controller will alter all remaining settings. Click in the Address box for the Holding register. When initially starting the compressor package. 2. The compressor will continue to run. 2. These packages should have been factory commissioned as dryer models. Adjustments on this display are intended for special applications where the default settings may need to be changed. and will be shown as such on the Machine Info Display (see Section 4. click the down arrow and select "Integrated Dryer" or "None" to set up default settings: Compressor Runs on Dryer Fault—This is unchecked by default. If this is checked. 6. Click the “Decimal” format. Since these adjustments also affect operation of an output relay.3) and on reports. See Figure 7-18. Click the “Read” button to verify the new value. the dryer and compressor will both stop. and change its operations as appropriate.7 DRYER SETUP DISPLAY This tab is for use with compressor packages with integrated dryer controls. then reset the fault using the WS controller keypad and resume operation. Click the “Write” button to send the request to the controller. A dryer warning occurs if temperature cannot be brought below this temperature. This is a duplicate of the adjustment shown on the "Admin" Display. the adjustment shown on the "Admin" Display. If the temperature remains 5 degrees higher than this setting. Separator offset—This setting will be adjusted to a model-specific setting whenever integrated dryer operation is initially selected. This is a duplicate of Figure 7-19: Dryer Setup Display 70 . If the dryer is controlled by other means. Digital Output 7—This setting will be adjusted to a "Dryer Running" function whenever integrated dryer operation is initially selected. The WS controller will indicate that the compressor is precooling the dryer. the dryer will stop and the controller will record a high temperature fault or warning. and the dryer runs continuously. this relay is free to be used to signal other information. and is presented here for convenience when setting up a dryer. Once this period is over. The warning functions become active when the dryer is running. the compressor operates normally. and is presented here for convenience when setting up a dryer. Dewpoint High Warning Temperature—This is set to 50 degrees F (15 degrees C) default whenever integrated dryer operation is initially selected.WSPC USER INTERFACE MANUAL SECTION 7 this amount of time. Set this for the additional drop in pressure from the dryer. This setting will be adjusted to an "Alarm" function whenever integrated dryer operation is disabled.
