PLC Control Systems to match your needs
This access to such comprehensive data by the PLC system allows operators to interface with screw and reciprocating compressors from remote locations, an important feature when a compressor has an alarm, fault, or required set-point adjustment.
The evaporator control function optimizes the operation of the valves and fans to facilitate optimized temperature and defrost control of your evaporator air units.
Distributed microprocessor controllers also permit operators to build a complete control system over time by locally automating system components one at a time.
Controls the operation of fans and water pumps which enables optimum control of head pressure and efficiency.
Access to condenser microprocessor data on the Cool Ctrl by Danfoss PLC system allows operators to interface to condenser panels via remote locations, which is especially beneficial for alarms with fault set-point adjustment.
Danfoss Cool Ctrl PLC systems support all condenser manufacturer microprocessor panels, including legacy panels for substantial cost and time advantage.
The essential liquid management of your system. Provides the optimized liquid level control and refrigerant pump sequencing.
The ability of PLC systems from Cool Ctrl by Danfoss to access vessel microprocessor data allows system operators to interface vessel panels from remote locations, which is especially beneficial for alarms with fault set-point adjustment.
Supervisory control systems operate refrigeration facilities 24/7 without the need for human intervention. This automation allows facilities to run unattended, easing the demand on personnel while providing operators and service personnel with near instant access to critical updates in the event of an alarm or system failure.
