PTION A System Overview The Apogee P1 Technology Option provides a serial data port, allowing VSDs (variable speed drives) to be linked to form a network. Using a PLC/SCADA or other intelligent device, this network can be continuously controlled to provide supervision and monitoring for each VSD in the system.
Wait 5 minutes after disconnecting power before working on any part of the system or removing the covers from the Drive. Apogee P1 FLN Communication Module (HVAC10) You can create a network of drives by linking a Master (PLC or Apogee controller) to one or more HVAC10 drives fitted with this module.
User Connections to the Main Serial Port (P1) The serial port on the Option allows the following Apogee P1 links to be made. RS485 RS485 RS485 RS485 Electrical Connections 4-wire 2-wire differential differential Number of transmitters and transceivers 32 drivers...
