JCI FX Builder

[tlrsr]

Hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays!:)

I'm an old dog trying to learn a few new tricks. Trying to get away from the physical end of this trade.
I am learning the FX Builder program and would like to ask the more experienced techs for some help.
I am trying to develop a chiller plant control strategy and need to work out the pump & chiller staging.
Does anyone out there have assemblies built for pump lead/lag with auto start on failure? How about sequencing 3 parallel chillers.
I'm part way through the design and have reached the end of my ability.
If someone could provide an assembly or two, it would get me headed in the right direction.

Email address is in my profile.
Thank you!

Hello tlrsr,
I have some pump lead/lag routines that I have used in the field and work quite well. They switch lead pump base on run hours and also switch on pump failure. I also have an assembly that stages 4 chillers on and performs lead rotation based on run hours or a manual lead select from an operator workstation. I am commissioning the chiller job on Monday and if all goes well I will send you the fine tuned assemblies.

That would be fantastic! Thank you.

Reaper! Please resend your application. I received the email on my mobile and didn't download the application. It was supposed to remain on the server, but of course when you count on something, it never materializes.:(

[The Reaper]

Here it comes.

Reaper, Please send me the mcr files also.
I'm working on designing pump rotation assemblies - If I
can look yours over it would be a great help.

THANKS!!!

I would also be interested to taking a look at your work, my E-mail is also in my profile.

Many thanks

Hi Guys
I sent those assemblies out this afternoon. I didn't know if the pumps had drives or mag starters so I sent both. Good Luck.

The Reaper - I would really appreciate if you send me the lead/lag assemblies - my email address is in profile. I am new to FX Builder and currently working on my first project.
Thanks!!!

[The Reaper]

You've got mail.

[Cagey57]

Reaper, you are too nice !
Could I pursuade you to send them to me also?

Thanks a ton, you "Da Man"

email in profile.

[The Reaper]

Here they come. Let me know if you don't get them. I've been having email issues lately.

[Cagey57]

I wonder if your email issues are related to people asking for tons of attachments.

[The Reaper]

LOL. You could be right. Actually our email server just randomly drops emails from time to time. That just gives me something else to torture our IT guy with.

[Cagey57]

Reaper,
got the files, many thanks. I will look at them Tuesday.

Have a good weekend

Reaper, is it possible I could also look at the files as I am very, very new to FX Builder and need to learn as fast as I can, so any help with the files will be appreciated. I am working with heat pumps and on a fast learning curve at this time.

Hi maxking,

I don't see your email address. You can email me and I'll send you some stuff.

Hi new at this but here goes looking for fx applications on lead lag pumps with auto back up. can any one help Just completed the jci training class but have more questions then answers.also doing job that is calling for 4 staging of heatpump with reheat to dehumidify tied into ERV with 100% OA. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED... PS email is on my profile

JCI recently released some plant control apps. They might be useful for some applications, I checked them out, they cover the usual stuff. In my plant control experiences, every design engineer always wants something peculiar to happen in the control sequence. It could be something as simple as "rotation shall occur on Monday at 8:00 am" the lead/lags are based on run hours or equal starts. Now, your faced with tearing apart the program or going back to a custom one.

[sea67vet]

Thanks for info I hope I can get access to them.

Thanks, Chet

These could be what I need also could you send them to me thanks

Mechdorn, could you send me those new apps? I would like to check them out, thanks.
