Central Plant Interconnection Network Input modules are directly connected to Output Control or Network Output modules in Central Cooling with Optimization Applications, unless otherwise indicated. The Central Plant Interconnection modules provide connection between the controller and the associated pump, tower, or other controlled device. For some of these modules, this connection occurs when the application is split across multiple controllers.
The following table describes these modules and lists the applications in which they are used.

Name | Definition |
---|---|
CPO-30 Ready | When CPO-30 Ready is true, the application follows the CPO-30 integration point values. When CPO-30 Ready is false, the application follows its original sequences. |
CPO-30 CHILLERMODE | When CPO-30 CHILLERMODE is true, the application enables the mechanical cooling system. |
CPO-30 RUNCTFAN | When CPO-30 RUNCTFAN is true, the application turns on the fans in each running cooling tower and runs the fans at the speed indicated by the CPO-30 CTFRPM point. |
CPO-30 CHDMD | Sets the chiller %RLA (Running Load Amperage) limit, for each running chiller. |
CPO-30 LOWLOAD | At very low loads, the operation of the lead (only operating) chiller is disabled to provide chilled water more efficiently. When CPO-30 LOWLOAD is true, the application stops the operating chiller, while leaving isolation valves open because the pumps continue to run. The chiller is shut down, the running condenser water pumps and cooling tower fans are stopped. The chill water pumps remain running. When CPO-30 LOWLOAD is false, the lead condenser pump is enabled. Once the condenser water pump is proved to be running, the application enables the lead chiller. At this point, the system returns to normal operation. |
CPO-30 CHLRTR | The CPO-30 CHLRTR signal is an analog 0-N (N = number of chillers at this plant) signal sent to the application. The signal's value increases (or decreases) when the CPO-30 system wants the application to add or subtract a lag chiller. When CPO-30 CHLRTR is increased from 0 to 1, the application initiates the start of the first chiller stage corresponding with the first row of the chiller sequencing table. When CPO-30 CHLRTR is 1 and increased to 2 (or more), the application steps through each chiller stage as defined in the chiller sequence table. |
CPO-30 CDWPRPM | Pump speeds are controlled by the application according to the CPO-30 system supplied value. When two or more pumps are operating, all condenser water pumps operate at identical speeds according to the CPO-30 CDWPRPM point value. |
CPO-30 CDWPTR | Indicates the number of condenser water pumps to run. This signal informs the application when to add or remove a pump. |
CPO-30 CHWPTR | Indicates the number of chill water pumps to run. This signal informs the application when to add or remove a pump. |
CPO-30 CHWPRPM | Pump speeds are controlled by the application according to the CPO-30 system supplied value. When two or more pumps are operating, all chill water pumps operate at identical speeds according to the CPO-30 CHWPRPM point value. |
CPO-30 SCHWPTR | Indicates the number of secondary water pumps to run. This signal informs the application when to add or remove a pump. |
CPO-30 SCHWPRPM | Pump speeds are controlled by the application according to the CPO-30 system supplied value. When two or more pumps are operating, all secondary water pumps operate at identical speeds according to the CPO-30 SCHWPRPM point value. |
CPO-30 CTTR | Indicates the number of cooling towers to run. If CPO-30 determines it is more efficient to run two or more cooling towers with the operating chillers, it increases the CPO-30 CTTR signal. This signal informs the application when to add or remove a tower. This may happen concurrently with a CPO-30 CHLRTR signal. This point only indicates when to allow condenser water flow into the tower; the cooling tower fans remain off unless CPO-RUNCTFAN is on. |
CPO-30 CDWBPV | Indicates the percent at which the condenser water bypass valve is opened to control the condenser water temperature. |
CPO-30 CTFRPM | Cooling tower fan speeds are controlled by the application according to the CPO-30 system supplied value CPO-30 CTFRPM when CPO-30 RUNCTFAN is active. When two or more tower fans are operating, all tower fans operate at identical speeds according to the CPO-30 CTFRPM point value. |
CPO-30 HXTR | The CPO-30 HXTR signal is an analog 0-N (N = number of heat exchangers at this plant) signal sent to the application. The signal's value increases (or decreases) when the CPO-30 system wants the application to add or subtract a heat exchanger. When CPO-30 HXTR is increased from 0 to 1, the application initiates the start of the first heat exchanger stage corresponding with the first row of the sequencing table. When CPO-30 HXTR is 1 and increased to 2 (or more), the application steps through each stage as defined in the sequence table. |
