Standard PC Software Features
Color Graphic Display
Screens show real-time animated movement of screw and piston compressors along with all other refrigeration components. Red indicates that the piece of equipment is turned off. White indicates the piece of equipment is on. Compressors, fans, pumps, etc. are in motion when white and running. Color code is used to determine different temperature piping within the system. Digital readouts of all key sensor points are displayed on each screen (see Figure 2 & 3.)
You can select equipment such as an air unit and go directly to its status screen. You can also select a screw compressor and see the package fully animated (see Figure 4.) You can also select other screens such as a plant floor plan or specific equipment such as a spiral freezer (see Figure 5 - 7.)
All alarms or failures are shown on these screens by color (yellow-alarm, red-fail) and they will be flashing.
