Trane CH530 Screen lockup

[OpenDrive]

Hello all,

I have recently ran across a Trane RTAC255 with the CH530 Dynaview display. The initial call was for a display lockup. When running for a while the display will "freeze" but when online with techview 14.0 you can see the processor actually running. I change the Dynaview and loaded the appropriate software and watched it run for an hour or so while I CHANGED A FLOW SWITCH. A week later the problem has returned on the new module. All devices appear to be properly bound in binding view, so has anybody ran into this one before?

I have had the touch screen fail and had to replace but havnt seen one lock up myself. Is it locking up in a menu screen or will it just not let you punch in access code?

Hi,
Try to download a previous version of RTAC software.

Heres a better idea .
Load a different type of chiller software into the dynaview , boot it up and you will get a configuration error and all kinds of goofy alarms . then reload the correct RTAC software and you should be good . Reloading old software will not eliminate the bug in the software , loading completely different (incorrect) software will, it erases all the memory and gives you a fresh start .

I know the secret your talking about and it shouldn't be posted in the open forum. That should be used for a last resort. Also, it only works on the later versions of the DynaView that has the data recorder.

I did not think it to be a good idea!!!

Just got pro membership. Can you post this in the pro forum?

[milkyway]

Thanks super,. ,. I have never ran across a machine that has locked up 530,. Is the data recorder (assuming) it is installed in the dynaview, not a separate board,. And why a last resort , if the 530 is froze and has to be reset and change the machine software and reload to the correct software, y not choose the secret , is or has there been problems by doing this? Just wondering ,

Update. Bad display. 2nd bad new display. 3rd time great!

OpenDrive, when you say the display has locked up, just what are you seeing? What are the symptoms? Is the screen displaying anything at all?

I'm wondering the same thing because a locked up display is unusual and a locked up replacement is almost unheard of.....

Me thinks someone has a bug on their PC which is getting loaded with the software and screwing things up ??

[OpenDrive]

When it locked up, the keys on the screen locked up. It would stay running, and tech view would show normal operation. Usually in the ckt 2 comp screen. Good now!

Not according to my Trane rep.
