The modules are linked together when required to control a particular function or functions. The linking of the individual modules is optional and therefore allows for each module to be switched ON or OFF, this is determined from the data stored or collected by the modules and the results of module comparisons.

There are situations of cooling demand in which the compressor remains off. These are as follows: Compressor protection: the compressor switches on once a minimum safety time lag has elapsed since the last power-off, thereby allowing the refrigerant gas pressure to reach a point of equilibrium in the refrigerant circuit.
