1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Main features
pRack pR300 is the evolution of the pR100 electronic controller. The
consolidated software for management of compressor racks is combined
with new functions, on a totally upgraded hardware platform. Below are
the main functions (new and consolidated) and compressor management
features on pRack pR300.
1.1.1 pR300 functionality list
Main features
Direct management via Fieldbus, using either the built-in driver
(PRK300D*) or external driver, of one or two valves for the opera-
tion of heat exchangers typically used in subcritical systems (CO
2
)
Up to 2 suction line and 2 condensing line
Scroll, reciprocating, digital scroll and screw compressors management
Up to 12 scroll compressors, reciprocating for line
Up to 2 screw compressors for line 1, maximum one screw com-
pressors line
Fino a 2 compressori Bitzer CRII (massimo 1 per linea)
Up to 16 fans for line
Inverter for suctione and condensing line
Generic functions easily confi gurable (ON/OFF, modulations,
alarms, scheduler)
Heat recovery
Hardware
S, M, D, L version (based on pRack hardware)
External display (pGDE) or built-in display
Compressors
Up to 12 piston compressors per line, a maximum of 4 diff erent sizes
Up to 4 alarms per compressor
Inverter management, even with modulation inside the dead zone
Pump down
Control of overheating in suction
Languages Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Portoguese, Swedish
Unit of

Scheduling by
calendar
Scheduling available: heating/cooling, 4 daily time bands, 5 special
periods (e.g.: closing period), 10 special days (e.g.: holidays)
Schedulable functions: set point compensation for compressors
and fans, split condenser (heating/cooling only), anti noise, heat
recovery, generic functions
Setpoint
Compensation from digital input, from scheduling, fl oating based
on supervisor parameter (compressors) or outside temperature
(fans)
Prevent High pressure, including activation of heat recovery or ChillBooster
Alarms
