Introduction
Product Description The Single Stage Compressor Controller (SSCC) from Rockwell Automation is
a packaged solution providing anti-surge and capacity control for a single-stage
centrifugal or axial gas compressor. The SSCC is an economical compressor
controller providing advanced control algorithms allowing for safe and energy
efficient operation across the compressors operating range.

Application Overview The SSCC utilizes a surge control algorithm which calculates a percent flow and
determines the compressor’s head (simplified polytropic or pressure ratio). If the
percent flow is not adequate for the compressor’s head, the recycle valve will be
opened. The algorithm is used to generate a setpoint for the specialized PID
loop. The surge control algorithm executes in less than 25 ms.
The following simplified functional block diagram illustrates the features of the
algorithm. Secondary PID loop over-rides, and capacity control are not shown
for clarity.

Compressor Head Calculates the “head” of the compressor as simplified polytropic head (HpSim), pressure ratio
(Pratio), and pressure rise (Prise)
Choice of HpSim or Pratio as head type for the surge map
Configuration error and calculation fault reporting
Operating Point Calculates the operating point (OP) as a normalized, compensated representation of flow,
compensated to base conditions of the surge map
Supports four varieties of flow instrumentation for the compressor
• Flow in suction
• Flow in discharge, no cooling (inter-stage or upstream of flow)
• Flow in discharge, downstream of inter-stage or discharge coolers
• Alternate signal used in place of flow - special cases
Configuration error and calculation fault reporting
Surge Map 10-segment surge map defines the surge limit line (SLL)
Minimum flow fallback strategy on head calculation fault
Option for inlet guide vane (IGV) adjustment methods
Minimum IGV fallback on IGV position fault
Dynamic compressor map on human machine interface (HMI)
Surge Detection Compressor surge detection using:
• Positional surge detection: OP falls below SLL
• Rate-of-change surge: OP drops rapidly beyond configured limits
• Incipient surge: Optional SurgeGard signal detection of impending surge
Control Margin Calculation of the control limit line (CLL) using configurable margin
Margin based on offset and percentage methods
Convenient increment and decrement margin features
Automatic margin increment on surge detection
Minimum (base) and maximum margin limits
Operating Point Calculates the surge control line (SCL) using OP tracking methods
Tracking As OP increases above CLL, SCL tracks OP by a track margin
When OP decreases back towards CLL, SCL decays at a track rate
Configurable max limit, and minimum limited by CLL
Adaptive Tuning Dynamic adjustment to PID loop tuning parameters (ASC primary PID loop) using
configurable breakpoints and slopes
When operating between breakpoints, tuning value is at base value
When operating beyond breakpoints, tuning value automatically adjusted based on slopes

• Range configured automatically based on PV selection
• Configurable setpoint management (track in manual, limits, rates)
• PID control direction (direct, reverse)
• Variety of tuning options
• Manual mode override protection for anti-surge PID
• PID faceplate on HMI
Min/Max Selector and When both the primary PID and a secondary (override) PID are configured, the configured
Control/Track min or max control signal is selected

• All electrostatic sensitive components will be packaged in anti-static bags.
Do not remove these components from these bags until you are ready to
install them.
• Controller modules are especially sensitive to electrostatic discharge; pay
special attention not to touch the module connectors or any exposed
printed circuit board (PCB) components.
• Store all shipping materials, especially anti-static bags, to re-use if it
becomes necessary to transport or ship any system components.
Unpack
All items must be removed from their packaging and checked against the packing
list. Verify that all items are correct and contact Rockwell Automation if any
discrepancies are found. Before unpacking any items, the packaging must be
inspected for damage which may have occurred during shipment. See the
“Inspection” section.
If any packaging is damaged, the package identifying marks (box number, crate
number, etc.) must be noted and communicated to Rockwell Automation. The
package must be stored in a suitable storage area in the condition it was received.
Rockwell Automation will contact the shipping agent who may request to inspect
the damage. The package must not be opened without the express written
permission of Rockwell Automation.
Inspection
• Visually inspect the cabinets for mechanical damage, check the painted
surfaces for scratches and abrasions.
• Check that the cabinet door opens and closes, and that all latches operate
smoothly.
• Check all internal components against the detailed layout drawings, and
be sure that these components were not damaged during shipment.
• Check cable assemblies to make sure they were not damaged during
shipment. All wire ducts should be fitted with covers and all cable
assemblies should be appropriately dressed with cable ties and/or spiral
wrap.

Single Stage Compressor Controller Installation Chapter 2
Environmental/Location Requirements
To meet environmental requirements when installing the equipment, it should be

installed in a room with an ambient temperature of -10…+50 °C (14…122 °F)
with a relative humidity of 0% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing; and
the room must be provided with adequate lighting.
Tools
An adjustable wrench and socket set are required for panel installation.
Mount the Enclosure
1. Determine the mounting location and be sure it is able to support 31.8 kg

(70 lb). Allow sufficient room above and below, or at the left and right
sides, for cable exiting the enclosure, and for opening the door.
2. Mark the wall through the top of the slots in only the top two mounting
key holes. Drill the necessary holes for the bolts.
3. Insert the bolts through the bottom two mounting key holes of the
enclosure and into the wall. DO NOT tighten the bolts at this time.
4. Mark the wall through the holes in the top two mounting holes. Remove
the enclosure from the wall, drill the necessary holes for the bolts, and re-
hang the enclosure onto the bottom two bolts.
5. Insert bolts through the holes in the top two mounting holes of the
enclosure and into the wall. Tighten all the bolts.

Power Distribution and System can be powered by 24V DC or 120V AC. Connect power to terminals
shown in the supplied wiring drawings. Terminal locations are identified in this
Grounding photograph.
Alternate DC Sourced
Power Connection AC Sourced Power
(Regulated 24V DC) Connection
(100…240V AC)
Instrument Ground Connection AC Safety Ground Connection
There are two different ground connections that must be connected before
power is applied to the system. The AC safety ground is for all exposed metal
surfaces of cabinets, racks, chassis ground connections, etc. (All individual
ground wiring interconnections are to be a minimum of 16 AWG, copper wire,
green insulation). Instrument ground is for all DC analog/digital, signal cable
shield wires. Reference ground wiring interconnections will be a minimum of 18
AWG, copper wire, green insulation, with yellow tracer.
ATTENTION: Good ground connections must be verified before any work can be
carried out by any Rockwell Automation or client personnel. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury.
Check for a good electrical AC safety ground connection. The electrical ground
connection must be matched to the breakers or fuses used to protect the feeds to
the system. Check the integrity of the connection and the gauge of the wire used,
that it is sufficient to allow the breakers or fuses to trip.

Single Stage Compressor Controller Installation Chapter 2
Single Stage Compressor First time power up must be done in stages to guard against system-wide power
distribution faults. The system’s power distribution must be verified against the
Controller Powerup power distribution drawings.
1. Switch all circuit breakers to the Off position and open all fuses.
2. Energize the 24V DC or 120V AC feed, and verify voltage at the main
incoming terminals.
3. Close each 120V AC circuit breaker, one at a time, and verify that the
corresponding power supply is energized.
4. Measure the output voltage of the power supply and verify it is delivering
24V DC.
5. Close each 24V DC fuse, one at a time, and verify the corresponding
equipment receives 24V DC by measuring at the power terminals of the
receiving equipment.
6. Close all 24V DC fuses, checking that the system powers-up as expected.

The human machine interface (HMI) provides a single interface for

configuration, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting the SCCC system.
This chapter familiarizes you with these general features and how to access them.
Further details are found later in this manual.
Activate the HMI The operator interface requires entry of an Activation Key ID to activate the
HMI for use. Until the HMI has been successfully activated the HMI will only
display the following screen.
Figure 7 - HMI Activation Screen
Each SSCC requires a unique, eight-character HMI activation Key ID. The Key
ID can be provided from an Authorized Rockwell Automation agent. You will
need to provide them the System Serial Number and Product ID Number as
shown on your Activation screen.

Chapter 4 Human Machine Interface
Follow these steps to activate the HMI.
1. On the Activation screen, press the Enter Activation Key ID entry line.
The following keypad appears.
2. Enter the Key ID using the touch keypad.
Note: The characters in the Key ID are NOT case sensitive. Only enter the
eight character ID. Do not enter any dashes, spaces, or other symbols. For
example, if your agent provides the Key ID of 23F4-60BC, only enter the
eight characters, 23F460BC (or 23f460bc), omitting the dash symbol.
If the Key ID you entered is not valid, the Activation screen remains on the
HMI. In this case, verify the Key ID entered and correct if necessary. If
activation problems continue, contact Rockwell Automation for further
assistance.
If the Key ID is valid and the HMI activation is successful, the toolbar is
displayed at the top of the screen and the Application Information screen
appears.

SSCC Configuration
This section contains the steps required to configure the SSCC. The SSCC can
be applied to a variety of control requirements including anti-surge control,
capacity/performance control, additional protection/override controls, as well as
unit interlocks and permissives.
Parameter Lists Because of the wide range of control capabilities, there is a large amount of
configuration choices which can be made in order to meet the requirements of
the application. Configuration choices have been organized into groups called
“parameter lists.” Thus, the configurable parameters grouped together in a
parameter list represent a device (for example, a transmitter), or a control
function (for example, a PID loop) or a common theme (for example, the
compressor surge map).
Each parameter list contains the parameter number, description, range, and
initial value. A User-configured Value column is also provided in each table for
recording purposes. To use this feature, print the lists and record any values
changed during configuration in this column.
Table 30 identifies the parameter lists and provides a summary of the

configuration parameters that make up the list.

12: Surge Map Definition
List 12 defines the surge map for the compressor. The SSCC utilizes a ten-
segment lookup table to represent the surge map plotting Head vs. Flow
(normalized as %Q2). When the compressor includes inlet guide vanes (IGV),
the IGV position is also configured for each point on the surge map.
The surge map values for Head and normalized Flow are typically generated
using the Rockwell Automation compressor toolset. The toolset allows the user
to enter values taken directly from the manufacturer’s compressor map, and
generates the Head (HpSim or Pratio) and Flow (%Q2) values required by the
anti-surge control algorithms in the SSCC.
initial values.
Table 42 - Parameter List 12: Surge Map Definition
Value
01 X-axis Values (%Q2, 11 points), for compressor surge map. 0…100 0
02 Values represent the Flow-squared, normalized over a Flow max range (referred to as %Q-squared,

04 Values typically generated using the Rockwell Automation compressor toolset.
05 Values must be ascending:
06 Pt-0 <= Pt-1, Pt-1 <= Pt-2,…Pt-8 <= Pt-9, Pt-9 < Pt-10
07 When not all points are required, set each point in the list to 0.0, as required. For example, if only
08 four points are defined, enter them at parameters 8…11 (%Q2 Pt-7…Pt-10), and prefill

13: Surge and Margin Configuration
List 13 defines the surge detection and control margin properties. These
properties establish the following items.
• Control margin calculations which set the distance between the surge
limit line (SLL) and the control limit line.
• Surge detection methods, which detect surge based on changes to the

operating point, either positionally (it falls below the SLL by a defined
amount) or rate-of-change (it decreases rapidly, exceeding a falling low
threshold).
• Operating point tracking, which establishes the surge control line (SCL)
used as the setpoint for the anti-surge primary PID loop.
initial values.
Table 43 - Parameter List 13: Surge and Margin Configuration
Value
01 Base Offset Margin, %. 0…100 10
The offset margin is one form of margin used to establish the distance from the surge limit line
(SLL) to the control limit line (CLL).
The base offset margin represents the min offset margin that will be used.
The offset margin in use can be incrementally adjusted manually by the operator, or automatically
on surge detection.
02 Base Percent Margin, %. 0…100 20
The percent margin is a second form of margin used to establish the distance from the SLL to the
CLL.
This margin contributes a percentage of the SLL value towards the total margin. Thus, the lower the
SLL value, the smaller the percent margin contribution, and the higher the SLL value, the larger the
percent margin contribution.
Combining the percent margin with the offset margin provides great flexibility in total margin
determination.
The base percent margin represents the minimum percent margin that will be used.
The percent margin in use can be incrementally adjusted manually by the operator, or
automatically on surge detection.
03 Maximum Margin Limit, %. 0…100 30
This limit is applied individually to the offset margin in use, the percent margin in Use, as well as
the calculated total margin in use.
004 Margin Adjustment Amount, %. 0…10 1
The margin in use can be incrementally adjusted by the operator or automatically when surge is
detected. This parameter sets the amount of adjustment.
05 Margin Adjustment Type. 1…3 1
When margin in use is incrementally adjusted, this parameter specifies what form of margin is
adjusted. Choices:
1 = Offset margin in use
2 = Percent margin in use
3 = Both offset and percent margin in use
06 Backup Margin, %. 0…100 3
The backup margin determines the limit for manual control of the anti-surge primary PID loop. If
the distance between the operating point (OP) and the surge limit line (SLL) is less than the backup
margin, then the anti-surge primary PID loop mode is forced to automatic to prevent the operator
from driving the compressor into surge.

Table 43 - Parameter List 13: Surge and Margin Configuration (Continued)

Value
07 Backup and Surge Deadband, %. 0…100 1
Sets the deadband used for the backup margin condition, and the positional surge alarm condition.
08 Surge Trip Quantity. 0…10 4
Quantity of surges for the multiple surge trip interlock.
09 Surge Trip Time, seconds. 0…600 30
The duration of time for the multiple surge trip interlock.
If the quantity of surges (parameter 8) occur within this amount of time, the multiple surge trip
interlock is generated, which triggers the compressor trip output.
10 Surge Detection – Rate of Change Low Threshold (-%/sec). -99999…0 -25
Establishes the rate-of-change (RoC) low threshold for operating point which is reported as a
surge.
11 Surge Detection – Rate of Change Deadband (%/sec). 099999 10
A deadband used by the RoC calculation to clear the RoC surge condition.
12 Surge Detection – Rate-of-Change Time, milliseconds. 0…1000 200
Parameters 10, 11, and, 12 are used together to specify a surge detection method for rate-of-
change (RoC) on the operating point (OP). The RoC of the OP is calculated every scan of the
controller (set to 20 msec). The RoC maintains up to 50 samples of RoC values spanning up to 1
second (50 * 20 msec = 1000 msec). The RoC function calculates the average RoC over the time
defined by parameter 12 by averaging the relevant quantity of samples. When this calculated
average RoC is lower than the low threshold value (parameter10) a surge detection based on RoC is
determined. This condition remains until the average RoC is greater than the RoC low threshold
plus RoC deadband (parameter 11).
13 Surge Detection – Position Surge Margin, %. -100…0 -2
Positional surge is detected when the operating point falls below the surge limit line by this
amount.
14 Operating Point Track Margin, %. 0…100 5
OP tracking establishes the surge control line (SCL). As the OP increases and moves to the right of
the control limit line, the SCL may track the OP by this track margin.
15 Operating Point Track Rate, %/sec. 0…100 1
When the OP decreases back towards the CLL, this parameter determines the rate that the SCL is
reduces back towards the CLL.
16 Operating Point Track Max SP Limit, %. 0…100 75
This parameter sets the maximum limit for the SCL.
For example, with OP track max limit set to 75%, and the OP track margin set to 5.0%, the SCL will
track the OP by 5% up to an OP value of 80%. At this point the SCL is tracking the OP at 75%. If the
OP increases beyond 80%, the SCL remains limited at 75%.

14: Run and Load Configuration
List 14 defines the properties used for compressor running determination and for
manual/automatic loading for the compressor. Compressor running
determination is normally based on the digital input (DIN) for compressor
running (when a DI channel is configured for use).
Compressor running determination can also optionally be base on the following

conditions.
• A head threshold
• An auxiliary control signal (e.g. motor amps) threshold
• An on-delay timer preset and off-delay timer preset for confirmed run
status
initial values.
Table 44 - Parameter List 14: Run and Load Configuration
Value
01 Automatically Load compressor on Run condition. Choices: 0 or 1 0
0 = No
1 = Yes
02 Use Auxiliary Control Signal for Run determination. Choices: 0 or 1 0
0 = No
1 = Yes
03 Auxiliary Control Signal Threshold for Running, EU. -999999…999999 0
When parameter 2 is set to “Yes,” this parameter defines the threshold for the Run determination.
Run condition if (AuxCntrlSig > Threshold)
Example: For a motor driven compressor, the aux control signal analog input signal could be wired
to a motor-amps transducer. If motor amps are greater than a set threshold, then the compressor is
running.
04 Use Head for Run determination. Choices: 0 or 1 0
0 = No
1 = Yes
05 Head Value Threshold for Running, EU. 0…100 0
When parameter 4 is set to “Yes,” this parameter defines the threshold for the Run determination.
Run condition if (Head > Threshold)
06 Confirmed Run Status On-delay Timer Preset, seconds. 0…600 10
This value is the preset for the confirmed run status on-delay time. Until the compressor is
confirmed running, loading is not permitted, and the anti-surge and capacity control devices are
held at their override/unload/not running position.
This on-delay timer applies to all options for Run condition, in other words, the Comp Run DI,
AuxCntrlSig threshold, and Head threshold.
07 Confirmed Run Status Off-delay Timer Preset, seconds. 0…60 1
This value is the preset for the confirmed run status off-delay time. Once confirmed run status is
set, running condition(s) must clear for this off-delay time before the confirmed run status is
cleared.

15: Anti-Surge Control General Configuration
List 15 defines general properties for anti-surge control that are independent
from the primary and secondary anti-surge PID loops. These general
configuration properties are used for the following controls.
• Anti-surge valve control value limits
• Anti-surge valve slew rate limits
• Ant-surge valve position deviation alarming
• Anti-surge PID loop min/max selection
• Anti-surge PID loop tracking
initial values.
Table 45 - Parameter List 15: Anti-Surge Control General Configuration
Value
01 Anti-surge PID Loop Output Min/Max Select Type. Choices: 0 or 1 1
0 = Minimum select
1 = Maximum select
02 Not Running Control Value, % open. 0…100 100
The anti-surge valve is set to this control value whenever the compressor is “Not Running” or
“Unloaded.” This value overrides the PID output values calculated by the primary or secondary anti-
surge PID loops.
If this value exceeds the min or max CV limits expressed in parameters 7 and 8, the min/max
limited value is used under the “Not Running” or “Unloaded” condition.
03 PID Track Margin, % Open. 0…100 5
When both the primary and secondary anti-surge PID loops are configured, this value sets the
tracking limit for the PID loop that is not producing the selected output. This keeps the non-
controlling loop from winding up and moving away from the control value by more than a PID track
margin.
For example, if the PID track margin is set to 10%, the select type is set to “Maximum,” the
compressor is Running and Loaded, the primary PID loop output is max selected and at 60%, and
the secondary PID loop output is 55% and reducing. If the secondary loop output reduces below
50% (60% - 10%) the secondary output is limited (tracks) at 50%. If the primary loop output
increases to 61%, the secondary loop tracking rises to 51% (61% - 10%).
04 Anti-surge Valve Location. Choices 0 or 1 1
0 = Blow-Off valve
1 = Recycle Valve
This setting is used to modify the representation of the anti-surge valve connections on the Process
Overview page of the Operator screen.
05 Open Slew Rate, %/sec. 0…999999 100
Limits the opening rate of the control value.
Normally, the anti-surge opening slew rate is set to allow fast opening.
06 Close Slew Rate %/sec. 0…999999 2
Limits the closing rate of the control value.
Normally, the anti-surge closing slew rate is set to close the valve slowly.
07 Control Value Max Limit % Open. 0…100 100
Sets the max limit for the control value for the valve.

Table 45 - Parameter List 15: Anti-Surge Control General Configuration (Continued)

Value
08 Control Value Min Limit, % Open. 0…100 0
Sets the min limit for the control value for the valve.
09 Incipient Surge Control Value Increment, % Open. 0…100 10
On incipient surge detection, this control value is incremented by this amount. This increment is
not subject to open slew rate limits.
This increment serves to “bump” the anti-surge valve open more than the PID calculations are
doing themselves when an incipient surge is detected.
Note: This Incipient Surge Increment action requires that one of the multi-use analog input
channels be configured for the SurgeGard signal input (see list 07: AIN - Multi-use Signal A on page
59 and list 08: AIN - Multi-use Signal B on page 60). Use the High Alarm of the configured channel
for the incipient surge detection threshold.
10 Valve Fail Direction. Choices: 1 1
0 = Closed (i.e. valve is air-to-open)
1 = Open (i.e. valve is air-to-close)
Typically, the anti-surge valve is air-to-close, and fails open.
This setting is used to generate the analog output signal direction from the control value which is
always expressed as % open.
11 Valve Position Deviation Alarm Deadband, %. 0…100 100
When one of the multi-signal analog input channels is configured for anti-surge valve position
feedback, the controller supports a position deviation alarm. This parameter sets the deadband
limit for the alarm. When the difference between the control value and position feedback exceed
this deadband, the deviation alarm timer is activated.
12 Valve Position Deviation Alarm Time, seconds. 0…60 60
This parameter is the preset for the deviation alarm timer. If the position deviation remains active
for this time, the position deviation alarm is generated.
16: ASC Primary PID Loop
List 16 defines the configuration settings for the anti-surge control primary PID
loop. This PID loop is always configured and used for anti-surge control.
The process variable for this loop is always the calculated operating point (OP)
value. The setpoint for this loop is always the surge control limit (SCL) value.
Adaptive tuning is used for this loop (refer to List 17: ASC Primary PID Loop -
Adaptive Integral on page 72 and List 18: ASC Primary PID Loop - Adaptive
Proportional on page 73 for adaptive tuning configuration parameters).

Margin Configuration on page 66, parameter 16.
03 Setpoint Minimum Limit, Engineering Units (% Operating Point). 0…100 0
Keep this parameter set to 0.

There is no need to specify any other limitations on the setpoint for this loop.
04 Setpoint Increment Rate Limit, EU/sec. 0…999999 10000
Keep this parameter set to a large value.
The SCL is allowed to increase as fast as possible, so there is no need to limit this setpoint increasing
rate.
05 Setpoint Decrement Rate Limit, EU/sec 0…999999 10000
Keep this parameter set to a large value.
The SCL decreasing rate is set by the OP track rate (See 13: Surge and Margin Configuration on page
66, parameter 15). There is no need to further limit this setpoint decreasing rate.
06 PID Loop Deadband, Engineering Units (% Operating Point). 0…100 0
Defines a deadband about the setpoint which treats error as 0, and thus no change to control value
output.
If used, normally kept small <= 1%

0 = Calculate proportional based on change in PV
1 = Calculate proportional based on error

19: ASC Secondary PID Loop
List 19 defines the configuration settings for the anti-surge control secondary
PID loop. This PID loop is optional, and must be configured for use using this
parameter list. The configuration parameters for this loop include the following
settings.

2 = Ps, Suction Pressure (AIN Channel 1)
3 = Pd, Discharge Pressure (AIN Channel 2)
4 = Aux, Auxiliary Control Signal (AIN Channel 3)

of the analog input channel is used for the PID loop PV engineering units.
02 Setpoint (EU). -999999…999999 0
The setpoint for the PID loop. This value can be set here or using the PID loop faceplate. It is
included here to allow it to be saved to the non-volatile memory of the HMI with the other

Sets the minimum limit for the loop setpoint.
06 Setpoint Increase Limit (EU/sec). 0…999999 10
Sets the increase ramp rate for the setpoint, in engineering units per second. For example, if set to
0.1, and the SP is changed from 70 to 80 psi, the SP in use will ramp from 70 to 80 at 0.1 psi-per-

Amps-per-second. After 10 seconds, the SP will reach the value of 280.

Table 49 - Parameter List 19: ASC Secondary PID Loop (Continued)

Value
08 Proportional Tuning value (Gain). 0…100 1
Tuning value for the proportional action of the PID loop, in units of gain. Gain represents the
percent control value per percent-error. For example, to create a 2% change of output for each %-
error, set the gain to 2. This representation is the reciprocal of proportional band.
09 Proportional Action based on PV or Error. Choices: 0 or 1 1
0 = PV, Proportional action is based on changes in the process variable.
1 = Error, Proportional action is based on error
When based on error, the proportional action responds to changes in setpoint. When based on PV,
the proportional action responds to changes in PV only, and is not affected by setpoint changes.

11 Derivative Tuning value (seconds) 0…100 0
12 Interactive Tuning. Choices: 0 or 1 1
0 = Non-Interactive. The proportional gain value does not interact with the integral or derivative
contributions.
1 = Interactive. The proportional gain is used to calculate the integral and derivative contributions.
The setting of 1, “Interactive,” represents the traditional form of PID tuning behavior. In other
words, increasing the gain also increases the integral and derivative contributions.
The setting of 0, “Non-Interactive,” calculates the integral and derivative contributions
independent of the proportional gain. The integral and derivative are calculated as if they have an
effective gain of 1.
13 PID Loop Control Action (a.k.a. Direction). Choices: 0 or 1 1

Value
01 Capacity PID Loop Output Min/Max Select Type. Choices: 0 or 1 0
0 = Minimum select
1 = Maximum select
02 Not Running Control Value, % Open. 0…100 0
The capacity device is set to this control value whenever the compressor is “Not Running” or
“Unloaded.” This value overrides the PID output values calculated by the primary or secondary
capacity PID loops.
If this value exceeds the min or max CV limits expressed in parameters 7 and 8, the min/max
limited value is used under the “Not Running” or “Unloaded” condition.
03 PID Track Margin, % Open. 0…100 5
When both the primary and secondary capacity PID loops are configured, this value sets the
tracking limit for the PID loop that is not producing the selected output. This keeps the non-
controlling loop from winding up and moving away from the control value by more than a PID track
margin.
For example, PID track margin set to 8%, Select Type is set to minimum, compressor running and
loaded, primary PID loop output is min selected and at 35%, secondary PID loop output is 40% and
increasing. If the secondary loop output increases above 43% (35% + 8%) the secondary output is
limited (tracks) at 43%. If the primary loop output decreases to 32%, the secondary loop tracking
reduces to 40% (32% + 8%).

0 = Capacity control not required, show no device
1 = Suction valve throttling used for capacity control

08 Control Value Minimum Limit, % Open. 0…100 0
Sets the minimum limit for the control value for the device.
09 Valve Fail Direction. Choices: 0 or 1 0
0 = Closed (i.e. Valve is Air-to-Open)
1 = Open (i.e. Valve is Air-to-Close)
Typically, the device is Air-to-Open, and fails closed.
This setting is used to generate the analog output signal direction from the control value which is
always expressed as % open.
10 Device Position Deviation Alarm Deadband, %. 0…100 100
When one of the multi-signal analog input channels is configured for capacity device position
feedback, the controller supports a position deviation alarm. This parameter sets the deadband
limit for the alarm. When the difference between the control value and position feedback exceed
this deadband, the deviation alarm timer is activated.
11 Device Position Deviation Alarm Time, seconds. 0…60 60
This parameter is the preset for the deviation alarm timer. If the position deviation remains active
for this time, the position deviation alarm is generated.

23: Anti-Surge - Capacity Decoupling Configuration
List 23 defines the configuration settings used for decoupling the anti-surge and
capacity controls. The following decoupling features are available.
• Useful when anti-surge control and capacity control are configured in the
SSCC. If capacity control is not configured, these settings can be ignored.
• Management of the anti-surge and capacity controls so they do not “fight”

each other at operating points near the control limit line.
• At operating points between the specified initiate and release points, the
capacity control action is held, so the capacity controller does not drive the
compressor to surge.
• This decoupling method allows the anti-surge controller to stabilize flow

first, and then release the capacity control for further action when safe to
do so.

0 = No, do not use decoupling methods.
1 = Yes, use the decoupling methods
02 Decoupling Initiate Point, DP1. -100…0 -3
This value defines the distance below the control limit line where decoupling action is Initiated.
When the operating point moves below the control limit line by this distance, the capacity control
output will be held.
The value of DP1 should be further from 0 than DP2.
In other words, DP1 < DP2 < 0.0
03 Decoupling Release Point, DP2. -100…0 -1
This value defines the distance below the control limit line where decoupling action is released.
When the operating point moves within this distance of the control limit line, the decoupling
action is released, and the capacity control output is free to move normally.
The value of DP2 should be closer to 0 than DP1.
In other words, DP1 < DP2 < 0.0

Interlock and Permissive The SSCC system has pre-allocated input signals for use as interlocks and
permissives for the compressor. These signals appear in the Interlocks and
Customization Permissive screens with initial names which may be customized. Interlock
Configuration and Permissive Configuration screens allow for customizing these
signals.
Follow these steps to navigate to the Maintenance screen, and open the Interlocks
Configuration or Permissives Configuration screen.


4. Press or to open the desired Configuration pop-up screen

(example Permissive Configuration screen shown here).
Note: The Configuration buttons always contain a lock symbol, as some of their
configuration features (invert and latched) are set in the system design and
cannot be changed.
Interlock Configuration Screen
The Interlock Configuration screen has two pages. Page 1 contains interlocks
internal to the SSCC controller; page 2 contains interlocks external to the
controller. Use the screen navigation arrow keys at the bottom to navigate
between the two pages.
Figure 11 - Interlock Configuration Screens with Default Settings

Customizing Interlocks
From the configuration screen, you can edit the interlock description. These
represent string tags in the HMI (not the controller). These tags are retentive and
saved in the HMI memory.
You are encouraged to customize the external interlock descriptions on page 2, to

provide a more functional description. For example, you may connect a lube oil
low pressure switch interlock, and therefore change the associated interlock
description (e.g. “Low Lube Oil Press”). Editing the description requires security
privileges (Engineer or Administrator). The description string tag limit is 20
characters.
Configuring Interlock Bypasses
Each interlock has a configuration option for “Bypassable.”The bypassable setting

on this screen is the same as that configured in parameter List 27: Interlock
Bypassable Configuration. Changing the bypassable setting requires security
privileges (Engineer or Administrator).
An interlock is bypassed when:
1. The interlock is configured as “Bypassable,” and

2. Bypass is enabled on the Maintenance screen.
Permissive Configuration Screen
The Permissive Configuration screen has two pages. Page 1 contains permissives
internal to the SSCC controller; page 2 contains permissives external to the
controller. Use the screen navigation arrow keys at the bottom to navigate
between the two pages.
Figure 12 - Persmissive Configuration Screens with Default Settings

Customizing Permissives
From the configuration screen, you may edit the permissive descriptions. These
represent string Tags in the HMI (not the controller). These tags are retentive
and saved in the HMI memory.
You are encouraged to customize the external permissive descriptions on page 2,

to provide a more functional description. For example, you may connect a Lube
Oil Auxiliary Pump Running permissive, and therefore change the associated
permissive description (e.g. “Aux Lube Pump Run”). Editing the description
requires security privileges (Engineer or Administrator). The description string
tag limit is 20 characters.
Configuring Permissive Bypasses
Each permissive has a configuration option for “Bypassable.” The bypassable

setting on this screen is the same as that configured in parameter list 28:
Permissives Bypassable Configuration. Changing the bypassable setting requires
security privileges (Engineer or Administrator).
A permissive is bypassed when:
1. The permissive is configured as “Bypassable,” and

2. Bypass is enabled on the Maintenance screen.

Margin Control
For the primary anti-surge PID, the setpoint is dynamic based on operating
conditions and is automatically generated by the functional components of the
algorithm. The operator does not directly enter the setpoint. However, the
operator can influence the setpoint through adjustment of the margin. Margin
adjustments are managed on the Margin Control page four of the Operator
screen.
Key features of the Margin Control page are represented in the following
illustration.

Margin Increment / Decrement
The anti-surge algorithm automatically increments the margin “in use” values
whenever a surge is detected. The margin “in use” values may also be manually
adjusted using and on the screen – security privilege required (O,
S. M, E, or A). The adjustment amount and type are applied to these increments
and decrements. The margins cannot be decremented less than the configured
base margins, and cannot be incremented larger than the maximum margin limit.
Anti-Surge Control PID Loops Overview
Anti-surge control is provided through a primary PID loop configured to control

the operating point relative to the surge control line. In addition, a secondary
PID loop can be optionally configured, often based on suction pressure or
discharge pressure.
Page 5 of the Operator screen provides an overview of these two anti-surge

control PID loops.
Figure 21 - Operator Screen Page 5 Example
Configurable Secondary PID Loop

Capacity Control PID Loops Overview
Capacity control is provided through two optional PID loops, each configurable
for the choice of process variable to control. Typically one PV would be the
primary control measure, and a secondary control measure might be considered
for an override controller. For instance, the primary capacity control measure may
be discharge pressure (for example, Pd on AIN channel 2). A secondary override
control may be required to limit power or amps on an electric motor driving the
compressor. The auxiliary control PV input (AIN channel 3) would be
connected to this measurement.
Page 6 of the Operator screen provides an overview of these two capacity control
PID loops.

Checking Interlocks, Interlocks and permissives should be cleared prior to a compressor startup. An
interlock is a condition that needs to be normal or healthy in order to operate;
Permissives, and Warnings while a permissive is a condition that needs to be healthy for the Ready-to-Start
condition, but once the compressor is running the healthy condition can be lost
without affecting the system.
A warning brings attention to an item that may prevent operation or reflect

disabled/bypassed functionality of the unit.
Before attempting to start the compressor, the operator should check and
understand all interlock, permissive and warnings present for the unit.
Interlocks
The overall unit interlock status is presented on the Interlock icon (third from
the right) displayed on the navigation toolbar of any main screen.

The five icon status indications for interlocks are described in this table.

Interlock Explanation
Multiple Surge Trip A number of surges have occurred within a defined period of time.
It would be unsafe to continue operation of the compressor.
The reason for the surges should be investigated.
Operating Point Fault The calculation for the compressor operating point (OP) has faulted.
This may be due to invalid configuration, or failed transmitters that are
necessary to determine the operating point.
External Comp Trip 1 The external compressor trip signal on the associated DIN channel has tripped.
Note: The name presented on the screen for each interlock is configurable. The
default names are presented in the above table. You are encouraged to customize
the names for the external interlocks to provide a more meaningful name
presented for the interlock signal.
Latching Interlocks and Interlock Reset
The status indications for interlocks are latching. This traps any transitory
interlocks that occurred on the system so they can be presented on the Interlocks
screen.
When a tripped interlock has returned to normal it must be reset by pressing the
interlock reset button on either page of the Interlock screen.

The availability to perform the interlock reset is represented by its appearance on

the screen.

Permissive Reset
The status indications for permissive are non-latching. The Ready status (green
check-mark) and Not-Ready status (red X) automatically update to show the
present condition of the permissive.
Since the permissives do not latch, it is not necessary to use the permissive Reset
button on the Permissive screen.
Check and Reset a Permissive Example
The following sequence provides an example of checking permissive indications.
Permissive status Indications Observations and Actions

The unit permissive status on the navigation toolbar
informs the user that:
• Permissives are not-ready (red diamond)
• Bypass is enabled (yellow caution triangle)
Press the Permissive Icon to open the Permissives
screen.
On page 1 of the Permissives screen:
Digital outputs OK is not ready. This could be because:
• A digital output is not in Program mode
• The digital output module slot is not healthy
Investigating the digital outputs revealed a digital

output channel was in Operator mode. The channel
was returned to Program mode.
As a result, the unit permissive status on the
navigation toolbar now indicates:
• All non-bypassed permissives OK (yellow square).

Permissive status Indications Observations and Actions

Re-examining the permissives status:
On page 1, all permissives are ready.
On page 2, the external ready to start 2 permissive is

not ready, but the dimmed appearance indicates the
signal is bypassed.
Because it is bypassed, this permissive is not required
to be ready.
The compressor ready-to-start output signal is ready.

Table 67 - Descriptions of Warnings (Continued)

Warning Explanation
Analog Input in Substitute PV mode One or more analog input channels in substitute PV mode.
System will not respond to actual field transmitter signal(s).
Fallback to fixed polytropic exponent A failed transmitter exists which prevents the system from calculating a
polytropic exponent from actual pressure and temperature
measurements.
A fixed polytropic exponent calculation is used f(k, Peff). This may
affect the accuracy of the head calculation.
Surge Test: ASC mode protection bypassed Surge test is enabled, bypassing the normal protection limits for
Manual mode operation of the anti-surge primary PID loop.
In this condition, it is possible to drive the compressor into surge by
operating the ASC primary PID loop in Manual mode.
Check and Reset a Warning Example

informs the user that:
- Warnings are present (yellow)
Press the Warnings icon to open the Warnings screen.
Page 1: Preventing Operation - No warnings
Page 2: Function Disabled/ Bypassed - warning

Analog input in Substitute mode indicates that one or
more of the configured analog input channels is using a
substitute PV, bypassing the actual input PV from the
transmitter.

Screen Indications Observations and Actions

Navigation to the Maintenance/Configuration Screen
Using the Device Operation & Settings selector field to
browse the analog input devices:
Compressor Flow
Suction Pressure
Discharge Pressure
Auxiliary Control Signal
Suction Temperature
Discharge Temperature
Multi-Use Signal A
MultiUse Signal B
Through browsing the analog input devices, it is

observed that the suction pressure input is in Substitute
PV mode.
Check with operations and maintenance to identify if it
is safe to operate the unit in this condition.
Compressor Start and Stop The SSCC is primarily responsible for anti-surge and capacity control for the
compressor. Typically another controller or interlock system is used to start and
stop the drive (motor, turbine, etc.) that turns the compressor.
The SSCC provides interface I/O to coordinate the following signals with the
drive controller.
• Ready-to-start digital output signal to the drive controller. This signal is

controlled based on the unit permissive status.
• Compressor trip digital output signal to the drive controller. This signal is
controlled based on the unit interlock status.
• Compressor running digital input signal from the drive controller.
The compressor state of operation is influenced by the interlocks (trip),

permissives (ready-to-start), running determination, and load/unload requests.
It is highly recommended that alarms or warnings be cleared before starting the

compressor. The toolbar icons for alarm and warning should be white indicating
that none of these categories has active items.

ATTENTION: Do not attempt to start the compressor if the unit’s configuration

has not been completed. All relevant configuration parameters discussed in this
chapter must be properly configured. Failure to do so may cause equipment
damage or personal injury.
ATTENTION: Visual confirmation of the anti-surge valve position and capacity

valve position is recommended before starting the compressor. Failure to do so
may cause equipment damage or personal injury.
When the compressor is ready to start, the Compressor Overview screen should
appear as shown in Figure 26.
Figure 26 - Compressor Overview – Ready to Start
The following key indications are present when the compressor is ready to start.
Indication Description
Alarm Status Alarms clear
If alarms are present, they have been checked, understood, and operations
ready to proceed.
Warning Status No warnings
If warnings are present, they have been checked, understood, and operations
ready to proceed.
Interlock Status Interlocks OK, or all non-bypassed OK.

(if configured)

Compressor Running Compressor running condition is determined by one or more of the following
conditions.
Determination
• Compressor running digital input status
• Compressor head calculation > threshold
• Auxiliary control signal > threshold
When one of the above conditions is met for the configured on-delay time, then a
confirmed compressor running status is determined.
These specific running determination methods are configured in 14: Run and
Load Configuration on page 68.
The confirmed compressor running status is annunciated on the Compressor

Overview - Operator (page 2) screen. In addition to this HMI annunciation, the
compressor running digital output (DOUT channel 4) is energized for external
indication/usage.
Figure 27 - Compressor Overview – Running Status
Once reaching the running state the compressor is ready for loading.

Compressor Load/Unload After the compressor running condition is established and there are no
compressor trip conditions, the compressor is available to load. Loading the
compressor can be accomplished in one of the following ways, based on
configured options.
• Auto-load on confirmed run - Load is automatically triggered after the

confirmed running condition described previously.
• Load push-button - Digital input channel 2 may be wired to an external

push button to manually request compressor load.
• Load button on HMI - Load button on Compressor Overview - Operator

screen is pressed to manually request compressor load.
The confirmed compressor load status is annunciated on the Compressor

Overview - Operator screen (page 2). In addition to this HMI annunciation, the
compressor loaded digital output (DOUT channel 5) is energized for external
indication/usage.
Once the compressor is set to load, the anti-surge and capacity valve/devices are
released from their respective override values, and available for regulatory control
by the configured anti-surge and capacity control PID functions.
Figure 28 - Compressor Overview – Compressor Loaded Status
The Operator screens and PID faceplates can now be used to control and adjust
the operating behavior of the compressor.

Input Signal raw count (0…10000)
The analog input device supports two modes of operation: 1) PV from Input,
and 2) Substitute PV.
Under normal operations, the mode should be PV from Input. This mode uses
the measured input signal raw count (0…10000), and converts it to engineering
units according to the configured scaling settings. The scaled value is presented as
the process value (PV) in use.
Substitute PV mode lets you to override the measured value, and substitute in its
place, a desired engineering unit value. This mode may be useful should a
transmitter fail, require maintenance, or calibration. Use of Substitute PV mode
produces a warning.
Through configuration (refer to parameter list 24: AINs - Substitute PV) the use
of Substitute PV mode can be disallowed. When disallowed, the Substitute PV
features are absent from the device operation graphic and the device mode will be
PV from Input.
The mode operation buttons and Substitute PV value entry require security
privileges (maintenance, engineer, or administrator).

When the device is in PV from Input mode, the Substitute PV value

automatically tracks the scaled PV value. This makes the transition to Substitute
PV mode bumpless.

Operator CV value
The analog output device supports two modes of operation: 1) Program, and 2)
Operator.
Under normal operations, the mode should be Program. In Program mode the
application program and interlocks determine the control value (CV) in use.
When the device is in Program mode, the operator CV value automatically tracks
the CV value in use. This makes the transition to Operator mode bumpless.
Operator mode is intended only for device maintenance and testing when the
compressor is not running. When in Operator mode, the operator CV value can
be entered from the screen. Use of Operator mode sets the permissive, analog
outputs OK, to Not-Ready.
When the compressor is running, the device mode is automatically set to

Program mode, and the Mode control button is not available. When the
compressor is not running, the mode control button is presented on the screen.

operational and configurable behaviors of the digital input channels.

Input Signal State Mode Operation
Substitute PV Control
The digital input device supports two modes of operation: 1) PV from Input, and
2) Substitute PV.
Under normal operations, the mode should be PV from Input. This mode uses
the actual input signal applying the configured input state. The value is presented
as the process value (PV) in use.
Substitute PV mode allows the user to override the input value, and substitute in
its place, the desired value. This mode may be useful should a device fail, require
maintenance, or troubleshooting. Use of Substitute PV mode produces a
warning.
Through configuration (refer to parameter list 25: DINs - Substitute PV) the use
of Substitute PV mode can be disallowed. When disallowed, the substitute PV
features are absent from the device operation graphic and the device mode will be
PV from Input.
The mode operation buttons and substitute PV value buttons require security
privileges (maintenance, engineer, or administrator).
When the device is in PV from Input mode, the substitute PV value

automatically tracks the scaled PV value. This makes the transition to Substitute
PV mode bumpless.

The digital output device supports two modes of operation: 1) Program, and 2)
Operator.
Under normal operations, the mode should be Program. In Program mode the
application program and interlocks determine the control value (CV) in use.
When the device is in Program mode, the operator CV value automatically tracks
the CV value in use. This makes the transition to Operator mode bumpless.
Operator mode is intended only for device maintenance and testing when the
compressor is not running. When in Operator mode, the operator control
buttons can be used to set the control value. Use of Operator mode sets the
permissive, digital outputs OK, to not-ready.
When the compressor is running, the device mode is automatically set to

Program mode, and the mode control button is not available. When the
compressor is not running, the mode control button is presented on the screen.

Setpoint Entry (Auto Mode) Control Value Entry (Manual Mode)
The PID loop is a Proportional - Integral - Derivative controller used for

regulatory control applications. The PID loop is used for both anti-surge and
capacity control within the SSCC system.
Loop Mode
The mode buttons provide both control and indication of the Loop mode.
Mode Buttons Indication Description Operation available

Loop is in Manual None, security privilege required (O, S, M or E)
Loop is in Auto None, security privilege required (O, S, M or E)
Loop is in Manual Press to switch to Auto Mode
Loop is in Auto Press to switch to Manual Mode

For the anti-surge primary PID loop, the application provides a mode protection
feature to switch the loop from Manual back to Auto mode when the operating
point is within a certain distance of the surge limit line. This prevents the
operator from driving the compressor into surge. This protection feature is
bypassed when surge testing is enabled. The anti-surge secondary PID loop and
the capacity PID loops do not incorporate this mode protection.
When all configured loops are in Auto mode, the control loops ready permissive
is generated. If operational procedures for the compressor require one or more of
the configured loops to be in Manual mode at startup, then this permissive may
need to be configured for bypass.
Loop Setpoint
When the PID loop is in Auto mode, the setpoint of the loop may be adjusted
(security privilege required: O, S, M or E). Setpoint entry is limited by the
configured SP Minimum and SP Maximum values. When a new setpoint is
entered, the setpoint in use will adjust to the new target value at the configured
SP Increase and Decrease limits.
For the anti-surge primary PID loop, the loop setpoint is determined by the
application logic (SCL value from the OP tracking function). While the faceplate
provides SP entry, the application will over write any entered value from the
HMI.
Manual Control Value
When the loop is in Manual mode, the manual control value can be adjusted
(security privilege required: O, S, M or E). Control value entry is limited by the
configured CV Minimum and CV Maximum values.
PID Loop Device Configuration
Press to display the Configuration page. There are two types of

Configuration pages for the PID loop: 1) Standard Tuning, 2) Adaptive Tuning.
The anti-surge primary PID loop uses the Adaptive Tuning configuration page,
and the other PID loops use the Standard Tuning configuration page.
Configuration Page – Adaptive Tuning
The following illustration details the features of the PID Adaptive Tuning
Configuration page used for the anti-surge primary PID loop.

Adaptive tuning is used to automatically adjust the proportional and integral

tuning values based on operating conditions. The adaptive tuning adjustment

Breakpoint 1 Breakpoint 2
The controller calculates the difference between the operating point and the
surge control line = (OP – SCL). These values are shown on the Configuration
page. When difference between the operating point and the surge control line
(Diff ) is between the breakpoints, the base tuning value is used. When the Diff is

outside the breakpoints, the tuning value is calculated based on the slopes S1 or
S2. A positive value for slope increases the tuning value (slope 1 in the
illustration). A negative value for slope decreases the tuning value (slope 2 in the
illustration). The calculated adaptive tuning value is shown as Kcalc on the
Configuration page. The calculated value is clamped at the configured minimum
and maximum limits.

for the anti-surge primary PID loop, the PV is always the calculated operating
point, which is normalized 0…100% value. The control value of the PID loop is
intended to represent a control signal as 0…100% open.

Troubleshooting
This section covers topics to help troubleshooting the SSCC during

commissioning or during its normal lifecycle.
System Power The SSCC field signals should be connected to the marshaling terminals
indicated on Chapter 3 of this manual. All internal wiring is completed at the
factory; therefore signal troubleshooting is limited to checking the functioning of
the power supplies, circuit breakers and fuses. This guide is not intended for
troubleshooting field signals. All field signals should be tested using the field loop
drawings.
Make sure you have a set of system drawings before starting to troubleshoot.

Digital Input Module Detail
The Digital Input Module Detail screen is shown in Figure 53.
Figure 53 - Digital Input Module Detail
For each input channel, the channel number and description are presented. The
channel descriptions on this screen are fixed and cannot be customized. They
reflect the allocated function for each channel. The channel number is used as a
status indicator for the individual channel.
The green color indicates the input is energized, logic 1.
The grey color indicates the input is de-energized, logic 0.
The red color indicates a fault is reported.
Digital Output Module Detail
The Digital Output Module Detail screen is shown in Figure 54.
Figure 54 - Digital Output Module Detail
For each output channel, the channel number and description are presented. The
channel descriptions on this screen are fixed and cannot be customized. They

reflect the allocated function for each channel. The channel number is used as a
status indicator for the individual channel.
The green color indicates the output command is logic 1, to energize the
connected device.
The grey color indicates the output command is logic 0, to de-energize the
connected device.
Analog Input Module Detail
The Analog Input Module Detail screen is shown in Figure 55.
Figure 55 - Analog Input Module Detail
For each input channel, the channel number, input raw count, and description are
presented. The channel descriptions on this screen are fixed and cannot be
customized. They reflect the allocated function for each channel. The channel
number and value are used as a status indicator for the individual channel.
The grey color indicates the input is normal.
The analog input channels are configured for input range of 4…20 mA, with data
format percent range. This configuration reports a raw count of 0 at 4 mA, to
10000 at 20 mA. The percent range configuration makes reading the input as a
percent of transmitter span quite simple. For example, a reading of 2500 is
25.00% of the transmitter span, or 8.0 mA. The absolute measurement/reported
range is -500 (3.2 mA) to 10625 (21.0 mA).

Analog Output Module Detail
The Analog Output Module Detail screen is shown in Figure 56.
Figure 56 - Analog Output Module Detail
For each output channel, the channel number, output command value, and
description are presented. The channel descriptions on this screen are fixed and
cannot be customized. They reflect the allocated function for each channel. The
channel number and value are used as a status indicator for the individual
channel.
The grey color indicates the output is normal.
The analog output channels are configured for output range of 4…20 mA, with
data format percent range. This configuration generates the 4…20 mA output
from a command range of 0 to 10000 counts. The percent range configuration
makes reading the output command as a percentage, e.g. a command of 7500 is
75.00% to the control device, or 16.0 mA.
Alarms The overall unit Alarm status is presented on the Alarms button (third from the
left) displayed on the Navigation Toolbar of any main screen.
The alarm status is represented by the bell color and its steady or flashing status as

Compressor Flow Overrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal > 20.4 mA
Compressor Flow Underrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal < 3.6 mA
Compressor Head Fault Alert (2) Conditions exist (i.e. transmitter faults) that prevent calculation of
compressor head. As a result:
Head values are set to default values (HpSim = 0.0, Pratio = 1.0,
Prise = 0.0).
This condition will trigger the minimum flow fallback.
Compressor Surge Detected Alert (2) Compressor surge detected by either:
Positional surge: Operating point (OP) is below the surge limit line
(SLL) value by more than the positional surge margin.
Rate-of-change: The operating point decreased at a rate exceeding

the configured rate-of-change limits.
As a result, the offset and/or percent margin in use are

automatically increased.
Controller Failure Fault (4) Fault reported for the controller
Digital Input Module Failure Fault (4) Fault reported for digital input module in Slot 1

Table 99 - Alarm Messages (Continued)

Digital Output Module Failure Fault (4) Fault reported for digital output module in Slot 2
Discharge Press Overrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal > 20.4 mA
Discharge Press Underrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal < 3.6 mA
Discharge Pressure High Alert (2) Discharge pressure > high alarm limit
Discharge Pressure Low Alert (2) Discharge pressure < low alarm limit
Discharge Temp Overrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal > 20.4 mA
Discharge Temp Underrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal < 3.6 mA
Discharge Temperature High Alert (2) Discharge temperature > high alarm limit
Discharge Temperature Low Alert (2) Discharge temperature < low alarm limit
External Trip 1 Exception The external compressor trip signal connected to DIN channel 12 is
(3) in the “Tripped” condition.
As a result, a compressor trip is generated.




Incipient Surge Alert (2) Incipient surge signal > high alarm limit
Minimum Flow Fallback Alert (2) Triggered by Compressor Head Fault.
Without a calculated head, the surge limit line (SLL) value cannot
be determined by normal lookup table.
In this condition, the SLL value is set to the largest OP value defined
for the surge map, to assure a minimum safe flow through the
compressor.
Minimum IGV Fallback Alert (2) Triggered by an inlet guide vane (IGV) position signal failure.
As a result, IGV methods for the surge limit line fallback to using
the most conservative IGV position - full open.
Multi-Use Signal A Overrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal > 20.4 mA
Multi-Use Signal A Underrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal < 3.6 mA
Multi-Use Signal B Overrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal > 20.4 mA
Multi-Use Signal B Underrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal < 3.6 mA

Table 99 - Alarm Messages (Continued)

Multiple Surge Trip Exception Multiple surges have occurred within a configured time period.
(3) As a result, a compressor trip is generated.
Operating Point (OP) Fault Exception Conditions exist (i.e. transmitter fault or configuration errors) that
(3) prevent calculation of the operating point.
Suction Press Overrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal > 20.4 mA
Suction Press Underrange Fault (4) Transmitter signal < 3.6 mA
Suction Pressure High Alert (2) Suction pressure > high alarm limit
Suction Pressure Low Alert (2) Suction pressure < low alarm limit

(1) for the anti-surge primary PID loop.

Alarm Example
The following sequence provides an example of checking and resetting alarms.
Alarm status Indications Observations and Actions

The color of the Alarm button indicates the alarm condition:
• Color is pink - steady: alarm severity is Fault (4).
• Press to open the Alarm screen.
On the Alarm screen, there are three alarms shown. Each alarm has a
flashing color indication.
The alarm with the alarm severity, fault (pink) is represented by the
“Discharge Press Underrange” alarm.
In this case, a bad discharge pressure signal causes the “Compressor Head
Fault,” which triggers the “Minimum Flow Fallback” control strategy.
Press to acknowledge all of the alarm indications.
All three alarms become steady color after acknowledgement.
Investigation of the discharge pressure analog input signal confirms that the
transmitter signal is below the threshold for underrange.
This example shows the Analog Input Module Detail screen and AI channel 2
percent range value is less than the underrange threshold of “-250.”
Maintenance is tasked with field troubleshooting and repairing of the
transmitter signal.

Alarm status Indications Observations and Actions

Maintenance determines the field transmitter is bad and replaces it. The
analog input signal is back in normal range.
Returning to the Alarm screen, two of the alarms have cleared:

• The underrange cleared with the successful transmitter replacement.
With the discharge pressure signal healthy, the compressor head
calculation fault has also cleared.
• The “Minimum Flow Fallback” is still presented as an active alarm, as the
system is still using this fallback strategy.
The Alarm button is flashing pink, indicating the alarm severity (Fault-4) is
cleared and can be reset.
Press . This resets the alarm status, and also resets the “Minimum
Flow Fallback” condition, returning the anti-surge control strategy to

normal.
All the alarm conditions are clear on the alarm list.
The Alarm button color is white (no alarms).

Configuration Errors The SSCC has built in a basic configuration error routine. When a configuration
error is detected, a warning is generated. Configuration errors should be cleared
before running the compressor.
