Application Note: AN2020_Setpoint 1 & Setpoint 2_0006 Latest Revision: 11/15/11

Title: Vission2020 Compressor Control Setup
Scope:
Vission 20/20 programs version 4550.1 and later
Compressor Setpoint #1 and Setpoint #2
The 20/20 allows for multiple control setpoints. This can be utilized for nighttime or weekend setpoint
adjustment in cold storage facilities or perhaps if a compressor is being used in a swing application,
where it swings between booster and high stage operation. Setpoint 1 can be setup to operate as a
booster compressor, and Setpoint 2 can be setup to operate the compressor to meet the high stage
setpoint.
Setup
The configuration screen must first be setup to enable two setpoints.

Figure 1 Configuration screen, page 2. Two setpoint operation setup.

In the Compressor Control section, enter 2 for the # of controllers. This will enable the two setpoint
operation for the 20/20.
Compressor Control Setpoints

Navigate to the Compressor Control screen and enter in the desired control setpoints for both Setpoint 1
and Setpoint 2.

Figure 2 Compressor Control Setpoint 1 and Setpoint 2 setup.

After you logon, you will be able to setup both Setpoint 1 and 2 as shown in Figure 2. You can change
the load and unloading response of the compressor for both setpoints, which might be useful when the
compressor is operating between a high stage and booster application.
You may also want to setup your Load Limit setpoints at different settings when operating the
compressor between a high stage and booster application. These are shown in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3 Compressor Control Load Limit Setpoint 1 and Setpoint 2 setup.

Control Mode Drop-down box
Figure 3 shows the Control Mode drop-down box. This box allows selection of the active setpoints. To
change from Setpoint 1 to Setpoint 2 being the active setpoint, from the drop-down Control Mode box,
simply select Setpoint 2. This can be done when the compressor is off or running.
Caution: Please be aware that changing the active setpoint while the compressor is running could end
up shutting the compressor off. A control setting (such as Auto-cycle Stop setpoint or Low Suction
Pressure trip setpoint) may shut the compressor down as soon as you make the switch depending
upon the setting of the new active setpoint.
Safety Setpoints
Figure 4 (below) shows the Alarm and Trip Safety Setpoints that also have Setpoint 1 and Setpoint 2
settings. These should also be setup for proper operation when operating.

Direct I/O Operation and Setpoint 1 and Setpoint 2 selection
If the compressor 20/20 is being operated in Direct I/O mode, then selection of the active setpoint is
accomplished from an input module. Reference the wiring diagram to identify the module. The Setpoint
1 / Setpoint 2 selection module will be recognized when the compressor is placed into REMOTE mode
(by pressing the Unit Start button and then the Remote button.) When the input module is energized,
then Setpoint 2 is active. De-energizing the module places the 20/20 into Setpoint 1 mode.
Serial or Ethernet Operation and Setpoint 1 and Setpoint 2 selection
Reference the Vilter_2020_Comm_Table for register information for setting the active setpoint.
