5.4

Functioning

5.4.1

Standard operation

The Megacontrol is an intelligent control unit for

different components of pressurization systems
consisting out of a maximum of 6 pumps. The
required system pressure is sensed by a pressure
sensor on the outlet side of the installation.
When as a result of a decreasing water volume the
pressure drops below the pressure set point, a pump
will be switched on.
When the required system pressure has been
reached, the pumps are switched off one at a time.
The minimum run time is optimized constantly, which
results in a considerable energy saving.

5.4.2

Custom made settings

5.4.4

Test run

In order to prevent pumps from standing still for a

longer period of time, an automatic test run procedure
is provided as a standard.

5.4.5

Functioning WSD-Sensor (option)

In combination with the Megacontrol, the WSD can

generate a failure message when, during a
(adjustable) period of time, insufficient refreshment of
the membrane switch vessel occurs.
The failure message is generated when:
Insufficient refreshment occurs;
The membrane of the membrane switch vessel
is defective;
There is no air left in the membrane switch
vessel;
The installation is not set / installed correctly.

5.4.6

Temperature-sensor (option)

When the Megacontrol is fitted with a temperature

sensor, it can generate a temperature-dependent
failure message.

The Megacontrol can be programmed through the

human machine interface (HMI) operating panel and
has been protected against unauthorized use by a
password.
Also, the service port provides access to the
parameters of the program which can be used to
optimize the functionality of the installation, (see:
Parameter list).
WARNING
For access to the parameters of the
program using the service port, always
use the special service port cable!
The special service port cable (Art. nr. 6147117698)
can by ordered separately.

5.4.3

Number of operating hours per pump

The current number of operating hours of a pump

determines which pump will be switched on or off
next. The pump with the fewest operating hours will
be switched on first and the pump with the most
operating hours will be switched off first. This makes
sure that all pumps have an equal number of
operating hours, including the backup pump.

The Hydro-Unit MCJ is fitted with a jockey pump,

especially suited for installations with strongly
fluctuating water consumption. The jockey pump is a
smaller pump with less capacity but the same
pressure as the main pumps of the installation. The
jockey pump will be started first. If the water
consumption is larger than the capacity of the jockey
pump, one or more main pumps will be switched on,
whereas the jockey pump is switched off. If the
capacity of the main pumps is not sufficient, in case of
a large water consumption, the jockey pump will also
be switched on. A Hydro-Unit can also be fitted with 2
jockey pumps which are each other's backups.

The Hydro-Unit MCF is equipped with one variable
frequency drive. If the Hydro-Unit is rotationcontrolled, the required system pressure is sensed by
a pressure sensor on the outlet side of the
installation. An integrated adjustable PID-controller in
the software of the Megacontrol ensures that the
system pressure remains constant by successively
switching on or off one or more (whether or not)
rotation-controlled pumps with delay. A pump is only
switched on when 100% or respectively 0% of the
speed has been reached.

10 Parameters
10.1

Parameter list

The parameters of the main menu are related to the

standard (default) settings of the installation. The
standard (default) settings can be adjusted where
necessary and may also be reset whenever required.
On the basis of the standard set parameters, an

installation will operate as it should. Additional, extra

parameters may be used, e.g. those under
'advanced', 'pressure', 'delays' and 'clock'. In order to
use these additional parameters, you should activate
the corresponding sub menus.

ATTENTION
For unit-specific values see: 'Factory
settings'.
ATTENTION
Certain parameters are not visible,
depending on the configuration.

Can not be Auto reset via par. 14-20 Reset Mode

A trip is the action when an alarm has appeared. The trip will coast the motor and can be reset by pressing the reset button or make a reset by a digital input (parameter group 5-1* (See Danfoss manual). The origin event that caused an alarm
cannot damage the frequency converter or connected parts. A Trip Lock situation can only be reset by a power cycling.

Additional information on the RS485 bus: J302 to J301 and the use of a filter on the coil of contactors / auxiliary
relays.
ATTENTION
Connections for bus communication (RS485 A/B) to frequency converter are moved from J302
to J301 (see drawing fig.: 29 Megacontrol Lay-out 1-3 (1-6) pumps)

ATTENTION
Changes to the DIP switch settings of the bus termination of the frequency converter becomes
effective only after switching off and then on again of the frequency converter.
