General description
2.1
Introduction
Description
ES 6, general view
The ES 6 is a stand-alone central control system that regulates the net pressure within programmable limits
by starting and stopping, loading and unloading (in case of fixed speed compressors) or controlling the speed
(VSD compressors) of the connected compressors according to a programmed algorithm (see section Equal
wear sequence mode).
Up to six compressors, connected to a common air net, can be connected.
The ES 6 can control fixed speed compressors as well as frequency converter driven compressors (VSD).
Fixed speed Atlas Copco compressors may have any Elektronikon regulator or may be pressure switch
controlled. VSD compressors must however have an Elektronikon regulator of the fourth (MkIV) or fifth
generation (Mk5) in order to have all control options.
Competitor VSD compressors can only be started and stopped by the ES 6 via digital contacts.
The status of each compressor can be checked on the display. Operating parameters are accessible via the
menu.
The ES 6 consists out of a metal cubicle with:
An Elektronikon Graphic Plus controller (Mk5)

An expansion module type I/O 2 (part number 1900 5200 31)
A 4-20 mA pressure transmitter (delivered loose)
A supply transformer, fuses and connectors
Controller types
Over the past years, many different versions of the Elektronikon regulator are developed. A short survey:

Single point pressure measurement
Description
The ES 6 measures the net pressure by means of a 4-20 mA pressure transmitter (P), connected to the I/O 2
module in the ES 6 cubicle. The ES 6 controls the compressors in the network in order to keep the pressure
within the limits of the programmed pressure band.
As an alternative or as backup, another pressure sensor (0-5 V transducer) can be used.
This other or extra sensor must be connected to the I/O2 module.
Two pressure bands are available. A switch-over between the pressure bands can be performed in different
ways (week timer based, controlled by a switch, via the display menu or via CAN communication).
2920 7094 70

Instruction book
2.3
Equal wear sequence mode
Description
In this operation mode, the ES 6 controls the connected compressors in function of the outcome of following
checks:
Position of the measured pressure versus the selected pressure band

Priority check
Compressor availability check
Equal wear check
Priority check
Two priority schemes are available. In each priority scheme, six priority levels can be set. The lower the
number of the priority level, the higher the priority: machines of level 1 will be started first, those of level 6
will be started last.
Each compressor can be given a different priority.
Compressors with the same priority level will have the same priority. Within a group of compressors with the
same priority, the VSD compressor (if available) will be the top load machine. The VSD compressor will be
started first and stopped last within the priority group.
The highest placed variable speed driven compressor will be the control VSD compressor.
If more than one VSD compressor is put in this priority level, the one with the least number of running hours
will be the control (top load) VSD. The other one(s) will be controlled as a fixed speed compressor, meaning
that it (they) will run at its (their) maximum motor speed, when started.
The controller allows two different ways of switching between the priority schemes:
Manual shift: a new scheme is selected manually.
Time based shift: the scheme shifts automatically according to a programmed list (e.g. Monday 07:00 h
priority scheme 1, Tuesday 08:00 h priority scheme 2, etc.).
Availability check
Before a compressor in a group is started, an availability check is performed. This means that only the
compressors that are running in unloaded condition or are ready to be started will be taken into account.
A compressor is unavailable if:
The minimum stop time is not yet expired

The compressor is shut down
Its emergency stop button is pressed
There is no communication with the ES 6
Equal wear
Within the group of compressors that have the same priority, the available compressor with the least running
hours will be started first, compressors with the most running hours will be stopped first.
Exception: this is not applicable when the priority group contains the control VSD compressor. The other
VSD compressor(s) will run as fixed speed compressor(s).
12
2920 7094 70
Instruction book
Temporary activation of a standby machine

By using the priority schemes, a standby machine can be activated for a certain time to keep the machine in
optimal condition.
In the example below, the last machine (number 6) is set to standby (priority scheme 1). It is only activated
when all the other machines are already running. To keep the machine in optimal condition, the sequence can
be changed so that the standby compressor has the highest priority (priority scheme 2). This can be done by
changing the schemes manually or by means of a timer based switch.

Matching flow fluctuations with variable speed driven

compressor(s)
Description
If a variable speed driven compressor is installed, the latter is used to meet the changing demands of the air
net. When two compressors are running, the fixed speed compressor runs 100% loaded while the variable
speed driven compressor is used to fine tune the pressure.
If a competitor VSD is connected, together with a number of fixed speed compressors, the competitor VSD
needs to be controlled via remote start/stop command (small pressure band). Its setpoint must be set below
the Pressure Band Low setting of the ES 6.
When there is more than one VSD compressor, the Atlas Copco VSD compressor will be the control
compressor. The competitor VSD will run as a fixed speed compressor.

Installation instructions
Procedure
Fix the ES 6 to a wall (e.g. in the compressor room), taking into account the following maximum cable
lengths:
250 m (820 ft) for a CAN network
500 m (1640 ft) if a repeater is installed, 970 m (3180 ft) if two repeaters and one CAN bridge are
installed.
1000 m (3280 ft) between the pressure transmitter and the ES 6.
The pressure transmitter should preferably be connected to an air receiver, in order to avoid pressure
pulsations. Also vibrations should be avoided. It is also recommended to connect it via valves, allowing
the pressure transmitter to be replaced after isolating and depressurising it. The pressure transmitter must
be installed in an upright position to avoid accumulation of condensate in the device.
Isolate and depressurise the part of the air net to which the pressure transmitter will be connected.
Provide a threaded hole (ISO R 1/4) in the depressurised part of the air net.
Screw the pressure transmitter into place.
Wire the pressure transmitter cable to the module of the central control system.
Respect the pin numbers as indicated on the electrical diagram, which is delivered with the device.

Connection methods

Description

Communication
(2)
Connection channel 1 to 6
For each compressor a connection channel is provided. For the ES 6, six connection channels can be selected,
configured and used to connect compressors.
Physical connection possibilities
There are three different ways to connect a compressor to the ES 6:
1. CAN (LAN)
The CAN (Controller Area Network) allows all the compressors and controllers in a network to be
connected to one another using a single 3 core cable, which is daisy-chained from one device to the next.
The CAN network acts as a universal communication system which can be used for both control and
monitoring. This type of connection uses the LAN connection of the regulator.
2. CANBox Interface
For fixed speed compressors which cannot be connected directly to a CAN network, the CANBox interface
can be used. This DIN rail mounted box acts as an interface between traditional digital and analogue I/O
and the CAN network. One CANBox has to be provided per compressor.
3. Hard-wired
The ES 6 can also control any fixed speed compressor using a series of digital inputs and outputs. In this
case the compressor will need to be hard-wired to the ES 6.
Connecting Atlas Copco compressors equipped with Elektronikon MkIV or Mk5 regulators
The simplest way to connect these machines to the ES 6 is via the CAN network. A single machine can be
connected directly to the ES 6 or multiple machines can be linked together and then connected, as shown
below:
16
2920 7094 70
Instruction book
Some older versions of the MkIV controller have limited control possibilities and do not
allow proper control over the CAN network or simply have no LAN connection.
In this case there are two options:
Replace the controller by the current version (see details below).
Connect the machine via hard-wiring. See section Hard-wired connections.

Connecting Atlas Copco machines with Elektronikon MkIII

This previous generation of the Elektronikon controller came in two variants, a low range and a high
range version. One of the key differences between these two variants were the communication
possibilities. The details below explain the possibilities for each variant:
Elektronikon MkIII Low Range controller (part number 1900 0700 0x)
There are two connection possibilities for this controller: either a CANBox Interface can be used (part
number 1900 0712 61), which means that the machine will use the CAN network to communicate with
the ES 6 or the machine can be hard-wired directly to the ES 6. In both cases some simple changes will
be necessary inside the electrical cubicle. More specifically two relays must be added, one to signal the
running status and the other to signal the load/unload status.
Elektronikon MkIII High Range controller (part number 1900 0701 0x)
If the high range version of the MkIII includes an extra module known as COM 1, the easiest way to
connect the machine to the ES 6 is to add a Combox-S interface (part number 8092 2482 54), which
converts all communication to CAN. Alternatively the compressor can be hard-wired directly to the ES
6.
If the machine does not include a COM 1 module there are three possibilities:
Use both a COM 1 (part number 8104 0115 00) and a Combox-S
Use a CANBox interface (part number 1900 0712 61)
2920 7094 70

Instruction book
Hard-wire the machine directly to the ES 6
Connecting Atlas Copco machines fitted with Elektronikon MkI or MkII

The Combox-S is the easiest option to install and provides the most flexible and complete communication
mechanism. Therefore this is the recommended connection method for the ES 6.
18
2920 7094 70
Instruction book
Connecting Electo-pneumatic machines and non Atlas Copco machines

There are two ways to connect these machines to the ES 6:
Add a CANBox Interface (part number 1900 0712 61) to each machine and then use the CAN network
hard-wire each machine directly to the ES 6
2920 7094 70

CAN connections
CAN addresses
The ES 6 can be connected through a LAN (CAN technology). The connection point on
the ES 6 is labelled LAN.
For connections that are connected over LAN, appropriate CAN addresses must be used.
On each compressor, CANBox or Combox S, the correct CAN address must be set depending on the channel:
Only the CAN addresses 1 up to 6 can be used.

Example for service level (A):

The figures at the left are the programmed service intervals. For Service interval A, the programmed number
of running hours is 4000 hours (upper row, green) and the programmed number of real time hours is 8760
hours, which corresponds to one year (second row, blue). This means that the controller will launch a service
warning when either 4000 running hours or 8760 real hours are reached, whichever comes first. Note that the
real time hours counter keeps counting, also when the controller is not powered.
The figures within the bars are the number of hours to go till the next service intervention. In the example
above, the compressor was just started up, which means it still has 4000 running hours or 8280 hours to go
before the next Service intervention.

Automatic Restart
Auto Restart After Voltage Failure

When 'Does not Exist', ARAVF is not
present (cannot be activated in this
screen).
When 'Exist but not active', ARAVF is
present but not yet active. Can be
activated on the display.
When 'Exist and is active': ARAVF is
present and Active. Can be de-activated
on the display.
When 'Exist and is active infinite': ARAVF
is present, active and a restart will always
be executed independent of Power Off
time.

2. Slave settings
For each slave, following settings are to be checked:
Text on image
72
(1)
Scheme 1 Priority
Two priority schemes are present. In each Priority

scheme a Priority Level can be set per compressor.
The lower the priority level the higher the priority.
Compressors with the same Priority Level will have
the same Priority.
By default all priorities in both schemes are set to 1.
Since two Priority schemes are available, a switch
over from one to the other Priority Scheme is possible
(by Digital Input, Week Timer or via Display Menu) .
(2)
Scheme 2 Priority
(3)
Start/Load Reaction Time
Maximum time for the compressor to reply to a Start/

Load command.
(4)
Load Reaction Time
Maximum time for the compressor to reply to a Load

command.
2920 7094 70

Text on image
(1)
Unload Reaction Time
Maximum Time for the compressor to reply to an

Unload command.
(2)
Stop Reaction Time
Maximum Time for the compressor to reply to a Stop

command.
(3)
VSD Maximum Starts per Day
The second up to sixth VSD compressor will be seen

as a Fixed Speed compressor running at optimal/
maximum speed. Since these VSD's are seen as
fixed speed compressors, a 'Number of starts per
day' is required for the regulation.
(4)
VSD Maximum RPM Factor
Percentage of Control VSD Speed: required for the

decision to start/load/unload and stop fixed speed
and maximum speed VSD's.
(1)
VSD Minimum RPM Factor
Percentage of Control VSD Speed: required for the

decision to start/load/unload and stop fixed speed
and maximum speed VSD's.
(2)
VSD Zero RPM Band Factor
Percentage multiplied with the 'Minimum Speed' to

decide that the Control VSD can be considered as
stopped.
(3)
Running Hours
Running hours are the hours of the selected slave

compressor
(4)
Mode
A user can change to integrate a compressor in the

ES or isolate a compressor.

Manual Sequence group
Each slave must be put in a group. These groups we

need to define a manual sequence.
Start-up
Preparations for initial start-up

Stick labels near the control panels of the compressors connected to the ES 6 as well as on an obvious
place inside these compressors, warning the operator that the compressor is remotely started and stopped
by a remote controller. These labels must also warn the operator that, after voltage failure, the controller
can remotely start and stop the compressors, depending on the air demand and programmed values.
Connect the power supply cables of the ES 6 controller to an appropriate single-phase voltage.
Switch on the voltage.
The ES 6 is now ready for use.
