Tempered Water Logistic Control
The TWLC is an advanced microprocessor chiller control specifically designed for marine circulated water systems. The TWLC system maximizes system performance, protects the chillers with advanced fault protection monitoring and shut-down routines, and has easy menu-driven operation supplying the user with important system information. Each chiller in a TWLC system has a dedicated power/logic board, and the boards are networked together to form an integrated system (automatically controlling up to 6 chillers). This design means that a single board or network failure will not shut down the entire system. The P/L board has board-mounted LEDs to help with troubleshooting, replaceable EPROM for software upgrades, and plug-in terminal strips and RJ-12 jacks which allow for quick field installation.
Interaction with the system is through the TWLC keypad/display. A simple 4 button keypad is used to change operation mode and to navigate through the menus to view and change system parameters. A backlit LCD display supplies easy to read information about the system, including water temperatures, operation mode, which chillers are running, and other detailed information. Three small LEDs on the keypad clearly indicate Cool or Heat modes, and faults. Additional TWLC keypads can be installed to allow remote system access.
The system monitors all the inputs and will display 12 different faults based on the information received. Each fault has a specific routine that protects the unit while heloing to prevent nuisance faults. Another feature of the TWLC is that it can be connected to an on-board computer or modem to allow full remote access of the system. Custom software emulates the TWLC on the computer screen and navigation through the menus is identical to the TWLC keypad/display.
