North Building Technologies

Carel UK, manufacturer of air conditioning and refrigeration controllers, and North Communications have announced the release of a North XOM (eXtensible Object Model) communications driver for the Carel range. This furthers the progress of integrating environmental air conditioning and refrigeration systems into building controls infrastructures. The driver is available on the Compass and ObSys platforms and supports the following Carel range:

• µAC Series The µAC (MicroAC) is a precision air-conditioning controller. It allows the management of humidification (with CDA controls) and dehumidification according to different configurations. It also allows control of a precision air-conditioner for telecom 'Shelters', including the management of the condensation fan.
• pCO Series The pCO is a two-microprocessor programmable controller capable of a wide range of applications in the field of the air conditioning and refrigeration. The controllers of the pCO Series with 8 inputs can be connected to the RS485 network.
• pCO2 Series The pCO2 represents the evolution of the pCO electronic controller, developed by Carel for a wide range of applications in the fields of air-conditioning and refrigeration.
• Other compatible controllers including the Macroplus, ISA7, ASM2 and MasterPlant compatible products are also supported with appropriate converters.

Carel controllers are incorporated in to many air-conditioning and refrigeration manufacturers (OEMs) products including Airedale, Climaveneta, Klima-Therm, McQuay, RC Group, Trane, Uniflair, York, and many others.

The enhanced North XOM driver communicates with up to 31 controllers using the Carel RS485 supervisor protocol. The driver collects all information available and includes:

Remote start and stop of the unit
Reading and set point adjustment of regulation and alarm parameters
Monitoring of output status and unit sensors
Monitoring of alarm states

The information available depends on the model, version and programming within the controller.
