 Los Angeles, CA February 25, 2004 Today, AirCare Automation introduced the AirCare
VariPhaseTM series of Single-Phase
AC Induction Motor Controls targeted at networked fan systems and Single-Phase AC motor systems
requiring precise speed regulation (closed loop control). The
VariPhaseTM series combines intelligent
speed control with the industry standard MODBUS® networking, providing easy to access/control
of groups of fans and other AC motor driven systems. The AirCare
VariPhaseTM Series is available in 115V,
230V and 277V providing up to 4 Amperes output current ratings. Applications include
Fan Filter Unit controls for small to medium size Cleanrooms, as well as, Heat & Energy Recovery
Ventilators and Light Commercial heating & cooling systems. Product is available today.
Unique to AirCare VariPhaseTM is
a level of sophistication, until now, unavailable for Single-phase AC motor systems. These include:
- Network communications built-in
- 3-Wire operation option to reduce motor heating peak current drain
- P-I-D sophisticated closed loop control
- Linear input control to RPM speed to reduce traditional TRIAC control sensitivity
- Individually addressed units and ease of configuration
The AirCare VariPhaseTM Series of VFD's share the following Features:
- 115V, 230V & 277V Models
- 3-Wire and 2-Wire motor drive option
- Easy to configure and address without software programming
- Up to 4.0 Amps capability
- Suitable for 50Hz or 60Hz
- Modbus Network Support
- Closed loop control capability
- External Hall Effect type sensor
- PID values programmable via network
- Measures and controls actual fan or blower speed
- Analog Control input (0-5V, 0-20mA or 4-20mA)
- Diagnostic LED's
- Status/Fault
- Network Traffic
- UL/CSA recognized and listed models available
COMMUNICATIONS SPECIFICATIONS:
- MODBUS® RTU protocol
- Selectable Physical medium
- RS422 (4-wire) or RS485 (2-wire)
- Selectable baud rate - 1200 or 9600
- Two network wiring methods

"The new AirCare VariPhaseTM Series of
controllers takes Single-Phase AC motor controls to a new level. The incorporation of to
integrate MODBUS® communication, 3-wire efficient performance linear RPM response to
input change and easy to configure options in a low cost package is unique to the industry."
said Howard Abramowitz, President of AirCare Automation Inc. "The AirCare
VariPhaseTM family provides
a low cost network platform of speed controls that results in a seamless, plug-and-play
system solution."
