 Full Digital Module

Overview

The Full Digital Module (OE370-23-FD-A) is a device that enables and 
modulates up to four digital compressors on HVAC Units controlled 
by the VCM-X Modular Controller (OE332-23-VCMX-MOD-A) or 
VCM-X Modular E-BUS Controller (OE332-23E-VCMX-MOD-A). 
The Full Digital Module will control the digital compressors to satisfy 
the cooling, dehumidi

fi

 cation, and heat pump requirements of the VCM-

X Modular series controller. 

If the Full Digital Module is in the Cooling Mode or Heat Pump Heat-
ing Mode, it will modulate the compressors to maintain the appropriate 
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. If the module is in the Dehumidi

fi

 ca-

tion Mode, it will modulate compressors to maintain the Coil Suction 
Temperature Setpoint. If the module is in the Heat Pump Heating Mode, 
the module can also monitor a signal for a Defrost Cycle from the VCM-
X Modular series controller if a One Condenser Head Pressure Module 
(OE370-23-HP1C) is also installed. 

Module Overview

Figure 1:  Full Digital Module

The Full Digital Module is connected to the VCM-X Modular Control-
ler using the E-BUS Distribution Module (OE365-23-EBD). The Full 
Digital Module can also be directly connected to the VCM-X Modular 
E-BUS Controller. Either connection allows the Full Digital Module 
to receive setpoints and monitor the Supply Air Temperature from the 
VCM-X Modular series controller. The Full Digital Module requires a 
24 VAC power connection with an appropriate VA rating.

NOTE:

 

 The Full Digital Module contains no user-serviceable 

parts. Contact qualified technical personnel if your 
module is not operating correctly.

Environmental Requirements

The Full Digital Module needs to be installed in an environment which 
can maintain a temperature range between -30°F and 150°F and not 
exceed 90% RH levels (Non-Condensing). 

Mounting

The Full Digital Module is housed in a plastic enclosure. It is designed 
to be mounted by using the 3 mounting holes in the enclosure base. It is 
important to mount the module in a location that is free from extreme high 
or low temperatures, moisture, dust, and dirt. Be careful not to damage 
the electronic components when mounting the module. 

See Figure 2 

for Module dimensions (dimensions are in inches).

Power Supply and Communications

The Full Digital Module is connected to the E-BUS Distribution Mod-
ule with a modular HSSC cable to provide communications from the 
VCM-X Modular Controller. The E-BUS Distribution Module uses 
WattMaster Control’s standard I

2

C modular cable to connect with the 

VCM-X Modular Controller, VCM-X Expansion Module, or 12-Relay 
Expansion Module. 

The Full Digital Module can also be directly connected to the VCM-X 
Modular E-BUS Controller, bypassing the use of the E-BUS Distribu-
tion Module.

The Full Digital Module requires a 24 VAC power supply with an ap-
propriate VA rating.

WARNING:

    Observe polarity! All boards must be wired 

 

GND-to-GND and 24 VAC-to-VAC. Failure to 

 

observe polarity could result in damage to the 

 boards.

Installation and Wiring

Important Wiring Considerations

Please carefully read and apply the following information when wiring 
the Full Digital Module:

1.    The 1 to 5 VDC signals for the Copeland Compressor 

Speed need to use 18-gauge shielded twisted pair cable, and 
the Drain wire must be the GND signal.

2.    All 24 VAC wiring must be connected so that all ground 

wires remain common. Failure to follow this procedure can 
result in damage to the module and connected devices.

3.    All wiring is to be in accordance with local and

national electrical codes and speci

fi

 cations.

4.    Be sure that all wiring connections are properly inserted 

and tightened into the terminal blocks. Do not allow wire 
strands to stick out and touch adjoining terminals. This 
could potentially cause a short circuit.

5.    Be sure all modular wiring harness connectors are seated 

fi

 rmly in their respective modular connectors on the circuit 

board.

NOTE:

  The Compressor Relays on the Full Digital Module 

are used rather than the relay outputs on the VCM-X 
Modular series controller. 

WARNING:

   Be sure all controllers and modules are 

 

powered down before connecting or

 

disconnecting HSSC cables.

Start Up and Commissioning

General

In order to have a trouble free start-up, it is important to follow a few 
simple procedures. Before applying power for the 

fi

 rst time, it is very 

important to run through a few simple checks.

One of the most important checks to make before powering up the system 
for the 

fi

 rst time is to make sure that the VCM-X Modular or VCM-X 

Modular E-BUS Controller is con

fi

 gured properly for your application. 

Refer to the 

VCM-X Controller Technical Guide

 or 

VCM-X Modular 

E-BUS Controller Technical Guide 

for more information. A handheld 

Modular Service Tool, Modular System Manager, or System Manager 
Touch Screen connected to the VCM-X Modular or VCM-X Modular 
E-BUS Controller  will allow you to con

fi

 gure your application. Refer to 

the 

VCM-X / RNE Operator’s Interfaces SD Technical Guide

 or 

System 

Manager TS II Technical Guide

 for more information.

Check all wiring leads at the terminal block for tightness. Be sure that 
wire strands do not stick out and touch adjacent terminals. Con

fi

 rm 

that all sensors required for your system are mounted in the appropriate 
location and wired into the correct terminals.

WARNING:

    Observe polarity! All boards must be wired 

 

GND-to-GND and 24 VAC-to-VAC. Failure to 

 

observe polarity could result in damage to the 

 boards.

Modes of Operation

 

NOTE:

  See Unit Con

fi

 gurations Chart on page 10 for more 

information about compressor staging.

Digital Stage 1 / Digital Stage 2

On units with two Digital Scroll Compressors, the 

fi

 rst compressor (A1) 

will be designated as Digital Stage 1 and the second compressor (A2) 
will be designated as Digital Stage 2.

On units with four Digital Scroll Compressors, there may be instances 
where compressor numbers on the module do not correlate with the 
mechanical compressors’ numbers. Therefore, Digital Stage 1 refers to 
the 

fi

 rst set of Digital Scroll Compressors (A1/B1) that will stage on 

together and Digital Stage 2 refers to the second set of Digital Scroll 
Compressors (A2/B2) that will stage on together. Please refer to AAON’s 
wiring diagram for speci

fi

 c wiring of the unit.

Off Mode

The Full Digital Module will be in the Off Mode when no signal is 
being received from the VCM-X Modular series controller to run the 
compressors.

Cooling Mode

When a Cool Signal is received, the Full Digital Module will go into 
Cooling Mode. At this point, Compressor A1 (and B1*) will energize and 
Digital Stage 1 Analog Output will modulate as necessary to maintain 
the Supply Air Temperature at the Active Supply Air Setpoint that is 
broadcast from the VCM-X Modular series controller. 

When Digital Stage 1 reaches 100%, a stage up timer is started. If Digital 
Stage 1 stays at 100% for the Stage Up timer, Compressor A2 (and B2*) 
will energize and both Digital Stage 1 and Digital Stage 2 outputs will 
go to 50% and begin to modulate together. 

If both systems are energized and they go below 30% and the Supply Air 
is below the Supply Air Setpoint by the Cooling Stage Window value, 
the stage down timer is started. If the systems remain below 30% for 
the duration of the stage down timer, Digital Stage 2 will deactivate and 
Digital Stage 1 will  go to 60%.  Digital Stage 1 will stage down if it is 
at 0% for the duration of the stage down timer.

* If con

fi

 gured for 4 modulating compressors.

Heat Pump Heating Mode (Air to Air)

Heating Mode works the same as Cooling Mode except the Reversing 
Valve is switched and the sequence is opposite. Compressors modulate 
up when below the Heating Supply Air Setpoint and modulate down 
when above the setpoint.

Dehumidi

fi

 cation Mode

In Dehumidi

fi

 cation Mode, compressors will be controlled to maintain 

the Suction Pressure Temperature Setpoint. Digital Stage 1—Com-
pressor A1 (and B1*) will modulate up to 100% before Digital Stage 
2—Compressor A2 (and B2*) can be energized.  When Digital Stage 2 
is energized, Digital Stage 1 will be locked at 100%.  

* If con

fi

 gured for 4 modulating compressors.

Defrost Mode

In Defrost Mode, if only Digital Stage 1 is energized, it will go to 100% 
and the reversing valve will deactivate. If both Digital Stage 1 & Digital 
Stage 2 are energized, they will both go to 100% and the reversing valve 
will be deactivated. The duration for Defrost Mode is determined by the 
VCM-X Modular series controller.

NOTE:  

Defrost Mode is only available if a One Condenser or 

Two Condenser Head Pressure Module is installed.

Staging Delays

Staging Delays minimum run times and minimum off times are sent 
from the VCM-X Modular series controller.

Using LEDs to Verify Operation

The Full Digital Module is equipped with LEDs that can be used to verify 
operation and perform troubleshooting. There are LEDs for communi-
cation, operation modes, and diagnostic codes. The module has seven 
LEDs—one used for power, one used for operation status, one used for 
alarms, and four used for the compressor relays. See 

Figure 5

 for the 

LED locations. The LEDs associated with these inputs and outputs al-
low you to see what is active without using a voltmeter. The LEDs and 
their uses are as follows:



Status LEDs 

“COMM”

 - The COMM LED lights up to indicate Communications 

between the module and the VCM-X Modular series controller. If Com-
munications are established, the COMM LED will blink. 

“ALARM”

 

- This is the diagnostic blink code LED. It will light up 

and blink out diagnostic codes. See 

Table 2

 for Diagnostic Blink Code 

descriptions. The blink code descriptions are also located on the mod-
ule’s front cover.

LED Diagnostics

“PWR” LED: 

When the Full Digital Module is powered up, the PWR 

LED (located below the address switches) should light up and stay on 
continuously. If it does not light up, check to be sure that the power wir-
ing is connected to the board, the connections are tight, and the VCM-X 
Modular series controller is powered. If after making all these checks, 
the PWR LED does not light up, the module is probably defective.

“COMM” LED:  

The COMM LED lights up to indicate Communica-

tions between the module and the VCM-X Modular series controller. If 
the COMM LED does not blink, then communications have not been 
established. Check the connection between the VCM-X Modular Con-
troller, the VCM-X Modular E-BUS Controller, the E-BUS Distribution 
Module, and the Full Digital Module. 

“STAT” LED: 

As previously described, this LED will blink out the 

operation mode that the Full Digital Module is operating under. When 
the board is 

fi

 rst powered up, the STAT LED will do the following:



Light up



Blink out status code every ten seconds to indicate

 controller 

status

“ALARM” LED: 

As previously described, this LED will blink on and 

off to indicate alarms and diagnostics.

Troubleshooting

Other Checks

NOTE: 

 The Full Digital Module contains no user-serviceable 

parts. Contact qualified technical personnel if your 
module is not operating correctly.

Troubleshooting

OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer 

Testing for R410A Refrigerant

The Evaporator Coil Temperature is calculated by converting the Suc-
tion Pressure to Temperature. The Suction Pressure is obtained by using 
the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer, which is connected into the 
Suction Line of the Compressor. 

Use the voltage column to check the Suction Pressure Transducer while 
connected to the Full Digital Module. Read voltage with a meter set on 
DC volts. If the temperature/voltage or pressure/voltage readings do 
not align closely with the chart, your Suction Pressure Transducer is 
probably defective and will need to be replaced.

See the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer, Pressure, Temperature, 
and Voltage Chart for R410A Refrigerant testing (

Table 4)

. The chart 

shows a temperature range from 20°F to 80°F. For troubleshooting pur-
poses, the DC Voltage readings are also listed with their corresponding 
temperatures and pressures.

VCM-X Modular Controller to Full 

Digital Module Wiring

When using the VCM-X Modular Controller, the E-BUS Distribution 
Module is required ot connect to the Full Digital Module. The Full Digital 
Module connects to the E-BUS Distribution Module using a modular 
HSSC cable. The Full Digital Module requires a 24 VAC power con-
nection with an appropriate VA rating.

The E-BUS Distribution Module connects to the VCM-X Modular 
Controller, VCM-X Expansion Module, or 12 Relay Expansion Module 
using the I

2

C port. See 

Figure 6

 below for wiring. 

Any E-BUS module can be connected to each of the four E-BUS

 

Dis-

tribution Module’s output ports or can be daisy-chained together using 
HSSC cables. 

If using a spliced terminal connection for longer runs, one module can be 
connected to the E-BUS Distribution Module and any additional modules 
would be daisy-chained to the 

fi

 rst module. For more information, refer 

to the 

E-BUS Distribution Module Technical Guide.
