Product Description
. . . . . Beginning June 2006, new YK chillers and replacement parts kit 331-02430-601 will be supplied with
Microboard part number 031-02430-001. This Microboard is an upgraded version of the present production 031-
02430-000 microboard. The upgrade includes a larger BRAM (U38) and an additional RS-485 port on COM2 for
Modbus serial communications protocol.
These upgrades are necessary to operate with the new Medium Voltage Solid State Starter (MV SSS) and Medium
Voltage Variable Speed Drive (MV VSD), since these drives require RS-485 Modbus serial communications protocol to communicate with the microboard.
On new production Variable Speed Drives (VSD) after March 2007, the VSD-to-microboard Opto-coupled YORK
protocol serial communications is replaced with RS-485 Modbus communications. This new microboard is required in these applications. With the VSD Modbus applications, the Adaptive Capacity Control (ACC) functionality is contained in the microboard and the ACC Board is not used.
This upgraded board is backward compatible with existing YK chillers using the 031-02430-000 or 031-01730-
000 microboard. With the exception of the changes below, this new board operates the same as previous boards.
BRAM
The part number of the BRAM in microboard 031-02430-001 is 031-02565-000 and its size is 128KB. It is
installed in a 32-pin socket. Program Jumper JP14 is a removable 2-pin shunt type jumper. The 128KB BRAM
requires the shunt be NOT INSTALLED and the board is supplied in this configuration. If the shunt is installed on
JP14, it would apply DC power to an incorrect pin on the 128KB BRAM and the board would not function. The
128KB BRAM is required for MV SSS, MV VSD and VSD Modbus applications. The 128KB BRAM requires
software that has "BRAM size detect" capability. If it does not have this capability, the board will not function.
YK chiller software version C.OPT.01.15.xxx (and later) has this capability and is required.
The part number of the BRAM in microboard 031-02430-000 is 031-02431-000 and its size is 32KB. It is installed in a 28-pin socket. Program Jumper JP14 is a non-removable (soldered) wire jumper that connects DC
power to the appropriate pin on the BRAM for 32KB operation.. York Controls. Johnson Controls. 031-02430-001.
