General Purpose Controller

General purpose HVAC control and monitoring device capable of standalone control or used in a Carrier Comfort Network® (CCN) communicating system.

The Comfort Controller 6400 is a microcontroller-based module that provides general purpose HVAC control and monitoring capability in a stand-alone or network environment using closed-loop, direct digital control. The 6400 gives the Carrier Comfort Network® (CCN) the capability to control and communicate with non- Carrier equipment and Carrier HVAC equipment not equipped with Product Integrated Controls (PICs).
 

Product Features

• Stand-alone control and monitoring of up to 16 field points, using proven algorithms.
• 1600 Compatibility mode can be used to directly replace a 1600 controller.
• Firmware Updates via FieldLoader.
• Compatibility with the following interface devices: i-Vu®, ComfortVIEW™, and Network Service Tool V and subsequent versions.
• Three LEDs, conveniently located on the front of the module, indicate processor status (red), CCN Communication Bus status (yellow), and I/O module communication status (green).
• Entire database at your disposal. Based on your application's requirements, you determine how many and which algorithms, inputs/outputs, schedules, alarms, and system functions to include in the database. Therefore, the database will only consist of the items that are necessary for the application — valuable memory space is not wasted.
• Ability to display the amount of available database space.
• Ability to add items to database as necessary.
• Local connection for LID and CCN.
• Total facilities management when linked to a CCN.
• Ability to disable all inputs, all outputs, or disable both inputs and outputs by simply flipping a switch.
• Two-day backup of clock and data such as Data
• Collection and Runtime.
• Simplified field wiring using “plug type” terminals (two-pin connection).
• No need for batteries.
• Uses any standard, field-supplied 24 Vac, 60VA transformer.

CCN Features

When included in a network with other CCN controllers, Option Modules, and user interfaces, the following additional capabilities are possible:

• Alarm processing, messages, and annunciation.
• Runtime, history, and consumable data collection and report generation.
• Demand limiting/loadshedding.
• Broadcast of data such as outside air temperature, outside air humidity, and time of day.
• Data transfer between system elements.
• Timed overrides for use with Tenant Billing.
• Airside and waterside linkage.
