Figure 18: Examples of fan installation with interface panel FIP-2.1
Left: Four fans are connected to a single power supply and controlled individually through fieldbus interface
Right: Two fans are mounted in series and controlled through PLC. The first fan runs in process mode using the feedback from a
pressure or flow sensor, the second fan is configured to match the speed of the first one. They act as one process control unit with
higher pressure performance (the same configuration may be used with fans mounted in parallel to achieve higher flow performance)
