Another exciting candidate for 2014 VFD of the Year is the Franklin Control Systems P-Series — Energy savings for fans and pumps: The P-series is optimized for fans and pumps — and features an automatic energy saving mode that minimizes losses by optimizing flux control. In PID, sleep and wake up modes conserve power and extend motor and drive life. Take a look!
NEW FIRMWARE MAKES SETUP A SNAP
* Application based commissioning allows parameters to be automatically set based on industry standards
* Applications: Basic, circulating pump, supply fan, exhaust fan or cooling tower
* Selectable units include PSI, °F, °C, inWC, inM, Bar, mBar, Pa, kPa
* Belt loss protection
SPACE VECTOR CONTROL FOR EFFICIENCY AND LONG MOTOR LIFE
* Cleaner sine wave as compared to typical V/Hz control. Motors run cooler and last longer
ADVANCED PID CONTROL (PRE-PID AND DUAL PID)
*Maintain a constant control of pressure, flow or water level. This function includes Pre-PID, Sleep and Wake up and output inverse sub-functions
* Dual PID for external PID control or cascade PID control
* Multi-Motor
MULTI-MOTOR CONTROL FUNCTION
* Control up to 4 motors
AUTOMATIC ENERGY SAVINGS MODE
* Adaptive flux control for varying loads (e.g. damper loading)
SLEEP AND WAKE UP FUNCTION
* Increased energy savings by deactivating drive during low demand
FLYING START PROTECTION
* Prevents trips, rough starts, and drive damage from regenerative power from heavy fan inertia rotation
BUILT-IN MODBUS RTU COMMUNICATION
* Optional: Profibus-DP, LonWorks, BACnet
