info

Program blocks are stored in the library without I/Os. Use the auto-create and auto-connect functions to create I/Os and/or to connect them to the interface blocks, e.g., R_A, CMD_B. Alternatively, take the I/Os from the folder containing the predefined I/Os in the library and/or from the plant and connect them to the interface blocks.

Function

Controls a variable speed fan.

The program block "Variable speed control bypass" (VsdBy21) performs a control of the ventilator with constant speed in the event of a problem with the variable speed drive.

info

In case of smoke extraction, the fan speed is defined by a parameter in the program and is independent of the pressure control. Another parameter in the program defines the reaction of the fan if an alarm occurs during smoke extraction and is preset in such a way that alarms from the fan itself do not stop it. The only exception is the maintenance switch.

info

All alarms generated by the following options stop the fan, block its outputs with high priority (priority 5) and shut down the plant.

This program block has the following optional functions:

Option: Air volume flow calculation

Measures the airflow and can generate an alarm (optional) if airflow is missing when the fan must run (AirFlCalc21).

Option: Command (1xBO)

Enables the variable speed drive.

info

Some fan control units, e.g., some EC motors, only need an analog signal, e.g., 0-10 V, and do not need a binary output.

Option: Differential pressure monitor (1xBI)

Reads the signal from a differential pressure monitor over the fan and generates an alarm if differential pressure is missing when the fan must run.

Option: Fault (1xBI)

Reads the fault signal from the fan control unit and generates an alarm.

Option: Feedback (1xBI)

Reads the feedback signal, e.g., from a fan control unit, and generates an alarm if feedback is missing when the fan must run.

A parameter in the program defines the source for the feedback (from the VSD or fan control unit or from an external source):

0 = Feedback from the VSD

1 = Feedback from external source

Option: Maintenance switch (1xBI)

Reads the signal from the maintenance switch and generates an alarm. If active, then the outputs of the fan are stopped with very high priority (priority 2).

Option: Maximum pressure monitor (1xBI)

Reads the signal from a maximum pressure monitor and generates an alarm.

Option: Pressure increase monitoring

Reads the value from the pressure sensor that is used for control and generates an alarm if differential pressure increase is missing when the fan must run.
