iACS - Experts in AHU Controls

1tool is the development system for the Carel programmable control platform, consisting of six different environments in which the designer manages the application software in all its different stages: from design to simulation, to testing and debugging, to arrive at commissioning in the field. A fundamental feature of 1tool is integration. Because all the different environments are interconnected to best support development of the application software. Each environment is in fact dedicated to the realisation of a specific function and interacts with the others to offer the designer: -  Greater reliability thanks to real-time error notifications in the design stage; - Reduced development time using the advanced functions offered, first and foremost the new libraries of functional modules specific for HVAC/R; -  Flexibility in terms of software customisation. All these features, an intuitive graphic interface and user simplicity make 1tool an excellent product, respond...

The AHU applications are characterized by a great range of plant solutions with different integration levels. Carel, leader on the regulation in HVAC/R world, thanks to the ten-year experience on designing and producing electronic controllers , humidifiers and accessories, offers the most complete solution range for this application. The modular structure of the controllers, the different humidifiers available and the complete range of accessories let you set any kind of installation, which increasing integration leaves up to the complete supervision of the plant to reach the absolute reliability and the maximum energy saving. The system approach joins with the flexibility of the solutions, both hardware, i.e. architecture and components, and software, starting from the standard up to the complete customization of the application software thanks to 1tool programming tool. Flexibility : I/O chip technology means all the most common types of sensors can be read: the signa...

Systems of monitoring and supervision carry out a role key in the management incorporated of the systems HVAC/R. These are essential instruments for continuously and effectively controlling the status of field devices and recording temperature and events in compliance with HACCP regulations. They can perform scheduled actions (e.g. lights on/off, etc.) and optimise the organisation of maintenance operations through effective alarm management. The immediate signalling of alarms by SMS, e-mail and/or fax means the installation is always under control, while the remote system can be used to resolve several problems quickly, without need to go on-site, ensuring economic savings and faster response times. The system offers various reporting options, including standards-compliant print-outs at programmable times. In addition, critical situations can be highlighted relating to the trend in values such as temperature, pressure and power consumption, comparing values...

After Carel's great success with the ExV Electronic Expansion Valve w e hereby wish to inform you that the new CAREL valve selection tool, ExVLab, is now available on the KSA. Entirely done online and with no need to download and install any software, this easy to use instrument guides you through the selection of the appropriate ExV for your application by simply inserting the main parameters of interest (refrigerant, cooling capacity, condenser temperature etc..). The new tool is a web application accessible from PCs and mobile devices, at the following link:   https://exvselectiontool.carel.com/ExVLab/ , currently available for Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 10.

A provisional date for the next 1TOOL software development suite for the Carel PCO programmable controllers has been announced to be "provisionaly" scheduled for the January 15th to the 18th in 2013. Please  contact us  if you wish to participate.
