The ZCU-14 control unit is used with inverter module frame sizes R1i...R4i, R6i and R7i,
while the ZCU-12 is used with frame size R5i. Both ZCU units consist of a ZCON control
board contained in a plastic housing. The control unit is mounted on the inverter module.
The BCU-x2 control unit is used with frame size R8i and multiples. The BCU-x2 consists of
a BCON-12 control board (and a BIOC-01 I/O connector board and power supply board)
built in a metal housing. The control unit is connected to the inverter module(s) by fiber optic
cables.
In this manual, the name "BCU-x2" represents the control unit types BCU-02, BCU-12 and
BCU-22. These have a different number of power module connections (2, 7 and 12
respectively) but are otherwise similar.
