PIC System Components — The Product Integrated
Control (PIC) is the control system on the chiller. See
Table 1. The PIC controls the operation of the chiller by moni-
toring all operating conditions. The PIC can diagnose a prob-
lem and let the operator know what the problem is and what
to check. It promptly positions the guide vanes to maintain
leaving chilled water temperature. It can interface with aux-
iliary equipment such as pumps and cooling tower fans to
turn them on only when required. It continually checks all
safeties to prevent any unsafe operating condition. It also
regulates the oil heater while the compressor is off and the
hot gas bypass valve, if installed. See Fig. 6-10 for the lo-
cations of sensors, transducers, and other devices controlled
and/or monitored by the PIC system.
The PIC can be interfaced with the Carrier Comfort
Network (CCN) if desired. It can communicate with other
PIC-equipped chillers and other CCN devices.
The PIC consists of 4 modules housed inside one of 3 lo-
cations: the control center, the power panel, or the starter
cabinet. The component names and the control voltage of
each location are listed below (also see Table 1):
• control center
— all extra low-voltage wiring (24 v or less)
• power panel
— 115 v control voltage
— up to 600 v for oil pump power
• starter cabinet
— chiller power wiring (per job requirement)
