Microtech® 4 Unit Controller

The new Microtech® 4 (MT4) controller is faster,
smarter and connected. With the hardware
improvements introduced by the new controller on
all air/water cooled chillers, advanced logics and
algorithms development at unit level are possible.
Communication protocols like Modbus and
BACNet are also available without any additional
hardware required because the MT4 controller
supports them natively.

Control strategies What are the main differences between

Master/Slave and iCM?
Advanced control strategies can be chosen to
optimise units life time and the energy efficiency For Daikin unit equipped with MT4, iCM are set of functions embedded directly
of a chillers plant: in the unit controller. In addition for those applications not covered by the
embedded functions, iCM customized are also available.
› by sequencing it is decided which unit
must start or stop While Master/Slave can manage systems composed by units model of the same

Daikin on Site is the Applied Solution for Monitoring and Control
Daikin Chillers and AHU. It is seamlessly integrated in all new Daikin DAIKIN
products and available for the old one.
ON SITE
Daikin on Site requires no extra hardware such as special gateway,
because on every Microtech III and 4 controller an integrated web server
continuously pushes the data into the cloud. The number of datapoints
available with DoS are huge and accessible with different access level. REMOTE MONITORING ADVANCED
AND CONTROL REPORTING

Leak Detection algorithm is implemented on DoS by using historical

data to understand possible unit damages causing gas leakage.
ALARM IoT INTEGRATION AND
All Daikin Applied products are supported by Daikin on Site, TROUBLESHOOTING ENERGY ANALYSIS
included iCM.

Advanced Reporting

Standard and Customized reports can be created

through Daikin on Site data. Daikin Service
expertise is able to identify and anticipate unit
failures avoiding stops as wells as extraordinary
maintenance activities.

Energy analysis is fully integrated and all

consumption and performance data can be
easily accessed through DoS dashboard.

IoT sensors, i.e. IAQ, and third-party units can be

also integrated and managed by DoS.

Recommendations

Recommendations for Service engineers and

Daikin Remote Monitoring Engineers are made
available through a Diagnostic Tool developed
along with DoS.
