Seamless integration and maximum building comfort
Nidec Drives’ new Control Techniques SI-BACnet IP option module provides enhanced control and maximum efficiency in building automation systems, ensuring accurate and co-ordinated operation to boost occupant comfort.
The new module provides high speed Ethernet-based communication for its flexible Commander C and Specialist Pump Drive F600 & HVAC Drive H300 families. This offers a scalable range of feature sets and performance levels to meet a wide range of fan, pump and compressor application needs. As a result, multiple applications controlled by Control Techniques drives throughout a building can be integrated together for simple and convenient centralised control.
Dual Ethernet ports on the module and plug-and-play integration ensure robust and reliable communications, minimising downtime, and maximising operational continuity.
SI-BACnet IP enables user commands and provides motor data references to the drive, as well as supplying process values or setpoints to the drive’s PID controller. Drive status information can also be retrieved, while analogue and digital I/O can be easily monitored and controlled. Resetting drive faults is also possible, along with drive commissioning using the intuitive Connect PC commissioning tool.
