A central UNIcon MODBUS Master can control the system pressure and temperature of fans powered by ECblue motors (see figure 1). The ZIEHL-ABEGG ECblue motors can be assigned to different controlled groups in the MODBUS system, for example two refrigerant circuits that are controlled independently with separate nominal values. However, only one MODBUS interface is required for the wiring.
The auto-addressing function patented by ZIEHL-ABEGG makes it easier to integrate multiple ECblue motors during commissioning or when servicing the system at a later date. This sophisticated system from ZIEHL-ABEGG ensures that the fans keep running even if the MODBUS communication or connection fails.
As an alternative, the ECblue motors can also be controlled with 0-10 V.
The ZAplus can reduce the fans' power consumption by up to 29%, thus making the system more energy-efficient.
