® Writing the alarms module Figure 49: Cooling tower with two-speed fan drive program properties Writing the alarms module Start by compiling the alarms requirements from the various parts of the sequence of operation, including the following: • If the condenser water pump fails, indicate a general alarm. A user must be able to reset the alarm at the operator display. • If the sump temperature remains below 36°F (this value is adjustable at the operator display) for 15 minutes, or if the sump temperature falls below 32°F, indicate an alarm at the operator display and turn on the Alarm output. • Indicate an alarm when any temperature sensor fails. These temperatures include Sump Temp, Supply Temp, and the Outdoor Air Temp inputs. • Alarms must be resettable at the operator display. Note the following important points and questions about the alarm control requirements: • The pump failure is determined by another part of the program. The alarms module merely uses the result.

Determining a programming approach<br />

Dividing the sequence of operation into logical program modules makes<br />

programming easier. In a single program, you can write several program<br />

modules. This sequence can be subdivided into the following four modules:<br />

• Alarms<br />

• Sump heater<br />

• Cooling tower fan<br />

• Condenser water pump (Assume for this chapter that the chiller does<br />

this.)<br />

<strong>Programming</strong> tip:<br />

When possible, subdivide graphical programs according to the<br />

sequence of operation. Doing so makes the program easier to<br />

read and understand.<br />

Setting the program properties<br />

Set the program properties as shown in Figure 49 on page 53. Set the program<br />

run frequency to 30 seconds, which is appropriate for this cooling<br />

tower application.<br />
