Carrier® ChillerVu™ PSM-IO Module
Carrier ChillerVu is a sophisticated, scalable, native BACnet® control solution for chiller plant control and operation. It consists of a dedicated controller and a library of factory-engineered control programs that are specifically designed to cover the most common chiller plant configurations.
Carrier ChillerVu factory-engineered control programs, with “Plug ‘n Play” support for specific Carrier CCN® PIC chillers, are designed to provide efficient, automatic control over all aspects of a chiller plant, coordinating the control of chillers, pumps and towers into a finely tuned, cohesive system. Whether you have 2 or 20 chillers, the system is able to control Carrier 19, 23, or 30 series chillers (air- or water-cooled). Carrier ChillerVu also supports integration to chiller plant equipment using BACnet, LonWorks® and Modbus® protocols.
