On the display
The panel reads VSD - RUN SIGNAL. Both manuals print the message with exactly this wording and give no other variant. It is listed in the table of cycling shutdown messages (Table 102), so it appears as a cycling shutdown of the chiller rather than a condition with a manual reset step.
What it means
The control center generates two redundant RUN commands for the VSD: one is sent hardwired on terminal TB6-24, the second travels over the Serial Communications link. When the VSD receives either of the two RUN commands, a 5 second timer commences. If both run commands are not received by the VSD Logic Board within those 5 seconds, the VSD performs a shutdown and this message is displayed. The cycling shutdown table describes the same shutdown as occurring when the run signal on TB6-24 is not received by the VSD Logic Board within the 5 seconds.
Why it appears
- The manuals state that this message is generally indicative of a wiring problem between the control center and the VSD.
What to check
- Inspect the wiring between the control center and the VSD — both manuals name this as the general indication behind the message.
- Check the run signal on TB6-24, the terminal on which the control center sends the hardwired one of the two redundant RUN commands and whose absence within the 5 second timer is described as triggering this shutdown.
- Check the Serial Communications link between the control center and the VSD, the path that carries the second redundant RUN command.
Setpoints and thresholds
- 5 seconds — the shutdown timer. It commences when the VSD receives either of the two RUN commands; the shutdown is performed if both run commands are not received by the VSD Logic Board within this time.
Reset and restart
This is a cycling shutdown message and no manual reset is described for it. Recovery is automatic — The chiller will automatically restart when the cycling condition clears.
Questions engineers ask
What does VSD - RUN SIGNAL mean on a YORK YMC2?
The control center sends two redundant RUN commands to the VSD — one hardwired on TB6-24 and one via the Serial Communications link. If both are not received by the VSD Logic Board within 5 seconds of the first, the VSD performs a shutdown and this message is displayed.
What causes the VSD - RUN SIGNAL message?
The manuals state it is generally indicative of a wiring problem between the control center and the VSD, i.e. on the path of one of the two RUN commands.
How do I clear VSD - RUN SIGNAL on a YMC2?
No manual reset is described. It is a cycling shutdown: the chiller automatically restarts when the cycling condition clears.
Will the YMC2 restart by itself after a VSD - RUN SIGNAL shutdown?
Yes. Both manuals give automatic restart as the action for this message — the chiller restarts when the cycling condition clears.
