BACnet Support As Standard

Introduced in 1987, BACnet is today the backbone of the vast majority of building services networks, and support for the protocol on the FR-F700-EC makes it easy to integrate the drive into building services automation systems for the likes of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning control.

Particularly well suited to driving fans and pumps, the FR- F700-EC also provides built-in PLC functionality, with support for functions such as ‘square root’ that can be used to enable flow control – for example in air conditioning systems – via PID, using just an additional pressure sensor. This can significantly boost energy savings by enabling the true airflow to be managed rather than the pressure.
