3. General description
Grundfos MGE 71-160 are frequency-controlled
permanent-magnet motors for single-phase or
three-phase mains connection. The motors
incorporate a PI controller.
You can connect the motors to a signal from an
external sensor and a setpoint signal enabling
control in closed loop. You can also use the motors
for an open-loop system in which the setpoint signal
is used as a speed control signal.
The motors are intended for machines with a square
torque characteristic, such as ventilators and
centrifugal pumps.
The motors incorporate a control panel which is
available in various versions. See section
.
Detailed motor settings are made with the wireless
Grundfos R100 remote control or Grundfos GO.
Furthermore, you can read important operating
parameters via R100 or Grundfos GO.
The motors incorporate a functional module. The
functional module is available in various versions
with different inputs and outputs. See section
You can fit the motors with a Grundfos CIM module.
A CIM module is an add-on communication interface
module. The CIM module enables data transmission
between the motor and an external system, for
example a BMS or SCADA system. The CIM module
communicates via fieldbus protocols.
You can connect several MGE motors together via
radio or bus communication to create a multimotor
system.
3.1 Radio communication
This product incorporates a radio module for remote
control which is a class 1 device and which you can
use anywhere in the EU without restrictions.
For use in USA and Canada, see
on page
Some variants of the product and products sold in
China and Korea have no radio module.
This product can communicate with Grundfos GO
and other MGE motors of the same type via the
built-in radio module.
3.2 Battery
A Li-ion battery is fitted in the FM 300 functional
module.
The Li-ion battery complies with the Battery Directive
(2006/66/EC). The battery does not contain mercury,
lead and cadmium.
