Abstract

In order to an initialising system for a refrigerant compressor unit, including a refrigerant compressor, an electrical drive motor for the refrigerant compressor and a compressor controller that determines the voltage and speed of the drive motor on the basis of sets of configuration parameters loaded into this compressor controller and controls the drive motor accordingly, wherein the initialising system has a compressor data memory, in which compressor data relating to respectively possible refrigerant compressors are stored, and a motor data memory, in which motor data relating to possible drive motors are stored, wherein the initialising system has a processor for performing the initialisation, a display unit and an input unit, wherein during initialisation the display unit and the input unit serve to determine the refrigerant compressor and the drive motor, and wherein the processor uses the compressor data of the determined refrigerant compressor and uses the motor data of the determined drive motor to generate compressor configuration parameters and motor configuration parameters and loads them into the compressor controller for the purpose of operating the drive motor.
