Abstract
A refrigeration system and method includes a refrigeration component and an electronics module preconfigured with a data set for the refrigeration component. The electronics module stores the data set including identification and configuration parameters of the refrigeration component. A refrigeration system controller that communicates with the electronics module to copy the data set and to regulate operation of the refrigeration component within the refrigeration system.
Claims56
A method comprising:
- preconfiguring a data set for a refrigeration component, said data set including identification and configuration parameters of said refrigeration component;
- storing said data set in an electronics module associated with said refrigeration component;
- copying said data set to a refrigeration system controller in communication with said electronics module;
- initially configuring a refrigeration system based on said copied data set;
- and
- monitoring an occurrence of one of a trip state and a lockout state of said refrigeration component set by said electronics module.
In a refrigeration system, a refrigeration component associated with an electronics module including a memory storing a data set specific to said refrigeration component, said data set including identification parameters and configuration parameters of said refrigeration component, a refrigeration system controller in communication with said electronics module to copy said data set from said electronics module and regulate operation of said refrigeration component within said refrigeration system based on said data set, said refrigeration system controller monitoring occurrences of said refrigeration component in one of a trip state and a lockout state.
In a refrigeration system, a refrigeration component associated with an electronics module including a memory storing a data set specific to said refrigeration component, said data set including identification parameters and configuration parameters of said refrigeration component, a refrigeration system controller in communication with said electronics module to copy said data set from said electronics module and regulate operation of said refrigeration component within said refrigeration system based on said data set, said electronics module initiating one of a trip event and a lockout event based on an operating condition of said refrigeration component.
