8.11 SCHEDULING
Scheduling is a Control NET interface function that enables pre-programing certain periods for the compressor to turn on and off with specific load and relief
pressures.

8.12 INTEGRATED COMPRESSOR MANAGER (GCI)
The GCI (Integrated Compressor Manager) control algorithm in the Control NET electronic interface is compatible with all Schulz electronic-interface compres-
sors and with a built-in serial communication port, as well as third-party compressors with the Airbus485 communication protocol or Multi485. Schulz analog
compressors or products from other brands without the informed communication protocol can be connected to the GCI with the installation of the compressor
communication card (012.2019-0/AT).
Compressed air networks have fluctuations in air demand and pressures that increase and decrease in response to fluctuation in demand. GCI control ensures that
a compressor network operates as if it were just one equipment, providing an efficient balance between equipment use and network pressure. In air networks that
do not have a management system, this balance represents a considerable opportunity to reduce costs and power consumption.
The primary function of the GCI control is to maintain the pressure between a configurable maximum value and a minimum value, by combining compressors more
efficiently. GCI control calculates a target pressure that is used as the rated pressure for the air network. The rates of pressure variation are largely determined by
the volume of the air tanks and abrupt changes in air demand. These features vary from installation to installation. To adapt to these features, there are parameters
such as tolerance and Damping that will be explained in detail next.
