Electronic Bypass Electronic Bypass Packages

Information

 

The FPC5010e is the latest advancement for the Saftronics HVAC VFD/Bypass offering. The standard Hand-Off-Automatic pushbuttons allow for easy control during commissioning, operation and maintenance while a graphical bypass display gives the operator system status at a glance. an integral alarm display provides quick and concise diagnostic capabilities. Programmable features include Fire mode (Stop or purge), Automatic transfer to bypass on VFD fault and Damper control mode. Programmable features are settable by DIP switch. No external programmer is necessary.

The FPC5010e offers the HVAC industry the best combination of size, cost and performance making it one of the best VFD values today. The FPC5010e includes a Saftronics’ GP10 Vector AC drive with a standard 3% equivalent reactor offering exceptional efficiency with low harmonic distortion. Because the FPC5010e is pre-packaged in a NEMA 1, NEMA 1 forced vent or NEMA 3R ventilated enclosure, it allows low cost installtion with minimum space requirements. The FPC5010e is UL 508A approved and offers features commonly listed in many engineering specifications. Included in the package is Saftronics’ LED/LCD enhanced GP10 keypad for annunciation of drive faults and operating information, such as speed, current, load and KW.

The GP10 includes a comprehensive set of monitoring, maintenance and protective features, ensuring safe, efficient and reliable operation in the most demanding environments. The static, dynamic and on-line tuing of the GP10 offers accurate motor and drive performance and ensures motor operation at its peak efficiency, regardless of the load condition. The latest IGBT output
section includes 4th generation soft switching technology that reduces EMI/RFI emissions and provides a 50% reduction in DV/DT. This allows for use of longer motor leads and eliminates the need for costly output filters and reactors.

Serial Communication

As Information Technology and the Internet continue to revolutionize the way we all do business, it's important to have the ability to share information both up (to the building level) and down (to the VFD level), as well as horizontally to the other intelligent equipment in the building.

The HVAC industry is no exception. Saftronics GP10 Vector AC Drives support the following popular communication protocols

Modbus RTU (Standard)

MODBUS® Protocol is a messaging structure developed by Modicon in 1979, used to establish master-slave/client-server communication between intelligent devices. It is a de facto standard, truly open and the most widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment. Modbus is the standard on board protocol used by Saftronics Safilnk Software Packages. No option board is required for Modbus communication

Metasys

Johnson Controls - Metasys®, also known as Metasys/ N2 or simply N2. The Metasys Open Communications Protocols provides a connectivity conduit to more than 1000 individual devices for monitoring and control of vital building functions including Saftronics GP10 Vector AC Drives. Metasys Communication requires the installation of Saftronics option board P/N SOPCG11SMN2.

LonWorks

Echelon device networking technology - Lon Works® enables end-users to remotely connect, monitor, control, sense, and diagnose intelligent devices including Saftronics GP10 Vector AC Drives. LonWorks Communication requires the installation of Saftronics option board P/N SOPCG11SLON.

Siemens

Siemens® FLN P1 is a fieldbus system from the Siemens, Landis & Staefa Division. FLN P1 is mainly a fieldbus for the building and automation industry. Siemens Communication requires the installation of Saftronics option board P/N SOPCG11SP1.
