Control technology ventilation systems

ZIEHL-ABEGG is the only fan manufacturer that develops and manufactures its own speed controllers for its fans in house. For this reason, no frequency inverter is better matched to a ZIEHL-ABEGG motor and parameterised than the Icontrol and Fcontrol. The Icontrol's plug & play installation concept enables quick setup and easy operation. With an integrated sinusoidal filter, Fcontrol is a one-of-a-kind frequency inverter that meets the highest standards.
As a system supplier, ZIEHL-ABEGG enables any version of voltage controllers, motor protection devices, control modules and active harmonic filters to be combined. Products with system expertise, be it a new construction or the retrofitting of existing systems.

Top-class control technology from ZIEHL-ABEGG

It is our constant aspiration and motivation to offer our customers special advantages. With this in mind, we develop and improve our control and ventilation technology. We are only satisfied when our customers are satisfied. For example, we pay particular attention to the fact that our control technology is easy to use and works reliably at all times.

ZIEHL-ABEGG is among the manufacturers of frequency inverters with an integrated, all-pole sine filter. This design can contribute to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) across a wide range of applications. The frequency inverters can be combined with various motor types and are available for diverse application requirements. When selecting drive and control technology, energy-related requirements can also be taken into account depending on the application.

Good reasons for ZIEHL-ABEGG control technology

Our control modules for ventilation technology are perfectly coordinated with each other as well as with our motors and fans, thus achieving maximum efficiency and performance. We are the only manufacturer of fan technology that also develops and produces its own devices for changing the speed of fans and ventilation systems. As a result, we are not only able to view and optimise the individual components in isolation, but can also test them together, analyse performance and continuously optimise the entire system.

This results in perfect system solutions from the optimal interplay of control technology, motors and fans, which you can obtain from us from a single source.

You only have one point of contact for all ventilation and technical control questions and can use sophisticated, coordinated solutions from our comprehensive portfolio for almost any area of application.

The frequency inverters of the PMIcontrol Basic-M series are able to control both motor types (asynchronous and permanent magnet motors). They can be mounted directly on IEC standard motors or PM motors and, if required, can be expanded functionally quickly and without great effort using add-on modules.

Frequency inverter ventilation systems

Frequency inverters for different applications

What makes the Fcontrol so unique is its integrated, all-pole effective sine filter. This makes it possible to control fans without increased stress on the winding insulation and motor bearings, similar to the mains power supply. The Fcontrol operates extremely energy efficiently, is gentle on the motor and does not generate electromagnetic motor noise. In addition, a shielded motor cable is not required for operation and the cable length is also not restricted by the Fcontrol. In addition, the Fcontrol also ensures problem-free parallel operation of motors and fans without the measures normally required.

With Icontrol, standard frequency inverters are available for cost-effective and simple control of internal rotor asynchronous motors in accordance with IEC standards as well as for fans. This is comparable to PMcontrol, which is suitable for internal rotor motors with permanent magnets in accordance with the IEC standard. Both are suitable for operation with shielded motor cables and can be optimally used with fans for process air, building air conditioning and MAXvent medium pressure axial fans. Parametrisation to the assigned fan is possible, enabling quick commissioning via "plug and play".

 

Control modules for intelligent ventilation technology

ZIEHL-ABEGG is the only fan manufacturer that also manufactures its own control modules and optimises them in combination with ventilation and drive technology. To control the speed of the fans, we have the UNIcon control modules in our range, which record system values in real time and can use this information to control various power components, such as the frequency inverters for controllable AC drives or the naturally controllable EC fans. Each control module can control one or more fans or components so that the process control can be designed very flexibly and individually.

We build and supply control modules in different variants, from universal devices to special sensor control modules for specific applications such as air conditioning or refrigeration. For many applications, pre-programmed operating settings are also available, and integration into bus systems such as MODBUS is also easily possible with our systems.

The ZAbluegalaxy for intelligent fans and fan systems

Ventilation systems, drive technology and control technology are used in numerous applications and industries. Wherever moving components or technical processes require cooling, ventilation, heating or air conditioning, corresponding ventilation systems are deployed.

ZIEHL-ABEGG is a manufacturer and system supplier of ventilation systems and control technology. The portfolio comprises various fans whose development combines biomimetic design principles with scientific findings and engineering expertise. The products are designed for diverse applications and operating conditions.

In combination with EC drive technology and electronic solutions for monitoring and control, systems can be adapted to specific requirements. In doing so, aspects such as performance, controllability, availability of operating data and application-specific requirements can be taken into account.

For digital applications, ZIEHL-ABEGG offers connectable fans and digital solutions with its "Blue Technology". The technical foundation for this is the IoT platform ZAbluegalaxy, developed jointly with Deutsche Telekom on the basis of Microsoft Azure.
Access to the functions of ZAbluegalaxy is provided via a browser-based dashboard. There, users can view system information and display operating and condition data.

ZIEHL-ABEGG fans equipped accordingly can transmit operating data via an IoT gateway to ZAbluegalaxy. The data can be captured, visualised and stored there.
The information provided can be used, for example, for remote monitoring, condition assessments or the planning of service and maintenance measures. The scope and benefit of the respective functions depend on the system configuration as well as the application and operating conditions.

Through the availability of operating data, users can identify and analyse potential deviations or faults. The information is utilised in accordance with the specific requirements and processes of the system operator.
