  • General characteristics

    The pCO5+ universal programmable controllers offer specific features to improve efficiency in HVAC/R systems, particularly:

    • flexibility of use, thanks to the availability of multiple product sizes (small, medium, large, and extra-large), I/O expansions, universal inputs/outputs, and USB ports;
    • built-in drivers for controlling electronic expansion valves with Ultracap technology, ensuring the stepper electronic expansion valve closes in the event of power failures;
    • connectivity, providing the most demanding designers up to 5 serial lines, 3 of which are always available, configurable in terms of protocol (CAREL or Modbus®) and type (FieldBus or BMS), plus 2 optional lines, also configurable in terms of protocol (Modbus®, BACnet™ , CAREL, KNX, LonWorks) and physical support (RS485, KNX). Versions are available with “Host” and “Device” USB ports for programming the pCO5+ with standard USB flash drives or direct connection to a PC without needing a serial converter.

     

    The pCO5+ controllers are available in models that can be programmed using 1tool or STone development environments.

    Programmability

    Depending on the model, pCO5+ can be programmed using the 1tool development environment or the new STone development environment.

    Security

    Cybersecurity is a priority, and is constantly guaranteed on pCO5+ controllers through periodic security assessments. The STone-based models are in fact designed in line with the IEC 6244 standard (cybersecurity guidelines), integrating advanced features such as secure boot and digital signature with asymmetric encryption system.

    I/O Flexibility 

    Up to 10 universal I/O channels, allowing custom arrangements of inputs/outputs. Thanks to the CAREL proprietary ASIC chip, the universal channels can be configured independently as analogue inputs, digital inputs or analogue outputs.

    Performance

    In addition to the standard pCO5+ models, HS (High Speed) models are also available, which feature higher performance in terms of application speed (start-up and cycle times) and upgrade speed, thanks to the more advanced CPU.

    Connectivity

    Three serial interfaces (FieldBus or BMS), two optional expansion cards and two USB ports. Choice of a wide range of communication protocols (e.g. Modbus, CAREL, BACNet, Konnex, TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, DHCP, DNS, NTP, SNMP). STone-based models natively feature connection to CAREL apps.

    Energy saving

    The pCO5+ medium models are available in a version with up to two built-in electronic expansion valve drivers and an optional Ultracap module, for integrated energy saving management.
