  • Page 12: Product Description

    OPERATING MANUAL OPERATING MANUAL 7. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The RDP is a backward curved blade fan equipped by an external permanent magnet rotor motor. The rotor magnets are made by rare earths (NdFeB) that strongly reduce the motor dimension and, therefore, the fan obstruction. The motor shape itself has been chosen for increasing the airflow inside the fan scroll. The Driver is compact and it is directly installed on board of the fan. It is equipped with an active PFC (Power Factor > 0.95 in any state of operation) and it drives the motor through a sensorless algorithm. The Fans of series RDP combine high energy efficiency and low noise level. Thanks to the “EC” (electronic commutation) motors, their electronics integrate speed control and protecting system. This reduces the number of different components required to provide these functions, compared to fans with traditional motors. The main feature of EC-motor is operating without slip losses, which allow consuming significantly less power than conventional AC motors. This occurs at all speed levels, especially with partial load operation. The EC complete drive system (i.e. the combination of the permanent-magnet motor with its electronic driver) has a much higher energy efficiency, in comparison with a drive system based on a conventional AC motor. Features • Supply voltage 220V-240V +/-10% (50/60Hz) • Sinusoidal Sensorless control • Integrated active Power Factor Controller • Simple cable connection with cage clamps • Integrated Modbus RTU interface • Integrated analogue interface 0-10V • Tachometric output available Performance • Internal PID available • Soft start...

In case this jumper is not included, the fan will not start. For further details, refer to par. 13.3. 9.6.3.4 Pressure and flow meter (for RDP 2.65kW - 3-Ph only) To provide a constant airflow, it is possible to order the RDP fan provided with the optional Volumeter pressure probes, which are then connected to transducer K43198 by means of K409A2 piping. This transducer is connect- ed to the PID regulator incorporated into the driver, which is installed on the fan.
  • Page 31 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATING MANUAL If the transducer has its own PID control, the signal must be connected to the standard ANALOG INPUT. 9.6.3.5 +24V AUX Power supply (for RDP 2.65kW - 3-Ph only) The +24V output can supply a max current of 50mA and it is able to drive the Nicotra Gebhardt pressure transducer (code K43198). Use an available ground pin on the board for powering devices. 9.6.3.6 +12V AUX Power supply (for RDP 2.1kW - 1-Ph only) The 12V power supply can be used to provide power to the pressure transducer K43198, where a 24V supply is not available. An auxiliary power supply of 12V is available on the 2.1kW Single-Phase drivers. The max current absorbed must be lower than 200mA. Use an available ground pin on the board for powering devices. This power is not stabilized and it decreases when the current absorption exceeds the above indicated limit.

The PID mode can be therefore used with temperature probes, pressure transducer, CO/ CO2 detectors, etc. The parameters to set are: = Proportional Gain -> Holding Register 51 = Integral Gain -> Holding Register 52 = Derivative Gain -> Holding Register 53 - Time = T -> Holding Register 54 The following equations represent the simplified PID code: Chapter 5 of the technical Annex to this manual describes a practical procedure to calibrate the PID constants, to achieve stable operation of the closed-loop PID control system. As an alternative, the Nicotra Gebhardt Fan Configurator software for PC is also including an automatic procedure to calibrate the PID controller. In many cases, this software function can save the user from a lengthy manual calibration procedure. For further information, refer to the Fan Configurator manual. 10.4.1 Analog ref.

OTHER FEATURES 11.1 Filter alarm This feature is useful when the speed of the fan is not directly set by the user as fans set in Constant Airflow Asynchronous Emu- lation or PID mode. The alarm is active when a speed threshold is overtaken (5V or 10V depending on the fan model). To activate this feature, the Holding Register 46 must be set at value 2 and the required Speed Threshold value must be set into the Holding Register 55. The digital output of the driver changes its status (see above figure). 11.2 Out of functioning range alarm This feature is not available for RDPs. 11.3 Flying start (for 3-phase only) The algorithm can catch the position of the rotor after changing the target speed to 0 and to a new value in short time. If too long time passed and the fan runs at very low speed, it is not possible to catch the speed: the fan brakes and restarts. 11.4 Regeneration (for 3-phase only) The algorithm can catch the position of the rotor after powering OFF and then ON the fan. If too long time passed and the fan runs at very low speed it is not possible to catch the speed and the fan brakes and restarts.
  • Page 38 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATING MANUAL 11.6 Soft start In the following paragraph the starting phase of a fan is shown. • The first phase when the fan receives a command to start running is the ALIGNMENT. During this phase the driver aligns the rotor. • The second phase is the dragging phase, where the fan gradually increases its speed to the minimum in open loop. In this phase the current and speed values present in the Input Register can’t be taken in consideration. • The last phase is the closed loop where the sensorless control is active and from the minimum speed to the target speed the fan accelerates with different ramps basing on the fan size and the wheel inertia. The acceleration and deceleration values are different and to avoid overvoltage alarm or loss of synchronism alarm, the deceleration is always lower. During the ALIGNMENT and DRAGGING phases a Loss of Synchronism alarm could occur if there is a condition of wrong rotor starting position or wrong position estimation during the open loop phase. This is not a blocking alarm; therefore the fan stops and auto-restarts after few seconds.
  • Page 39 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATING MANUAL 13. OTHER VARIABLES There are other variables that can be monitored for a safe use of the fan. 13.1 Bus voltage The BUS voltage is the DC voltage on the bus capacitors. The driver is continuously monitoring this voltage and will stop the motor in the event of under-voltage or over-voltage. The value can be monitored through the Input Register 9. 13.2 Motor voltage The motor voltage is the peak value of the phase voltage module. To know the rms line to line value, it must be multiplied by √3/2. The value can be monitored through the Input Register 13. 13.3 Enable Function (for 3-phase only) A safety enable function is available and it is active for the Operating Modes in the following table. The value can be monitored through the Input Register 28. Input type Enable function Input type Enable function Not active Active Active...
  • Page 40 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATING MANUAL 14.2 Motor overheating: THERMAL PROTECTOR The motor is protected through one or more Thermal Protectors. If the motor temperature is too high, the thermal protector opens one phase and the driver recognizes the error and stops the fan (see chapter 18). The Motor Winding temperature and the driver derating are dependent on the fan size and on the fan working point. Therefore, it is possible that the fan could work at 50°C without a performance limitation. WARNING WARNING The Driver and motor areas are rated for operating in a temperature range between -20°C and +40°C.

ALARM HANDLING When a malfunctioning occurs, the driver has two possible behaviors depending on the cause of the alarm: The cause of the alarm is very dangerous -> The driver stops immediately. To restart the fan, once the BLOCKING problem has been corrected, it is necessary to reset the fan or power the driver off for 5 minutes. The cause of the alarm is contingent to a wrong setting or wrong working condition. The alarm indica- AUTO-RESTARTING tions are activated, but after some seconds the fan tries to restart automatically. 18.1 Monitoring The alarms can be monitored through three different ways: • Modbus Registers • Blinking LED • Digital Output 18.2 Modbus registers - Alarm description In the following table, the alarms and the values stored in the related Modbus Input Register 10 and Input Register 17 are indicated.
