• The VariMax50M is a control device with embedded Modbus communication. 

Technical data for Modbus can be found on page 13-26. 

The control function can also be used with a normal 0-10 V input signal.  

Refer to page 6-11.

• The VariMax50M is part of a range of control units adapted for optimum control of 

rotating heat exchangers, with the necessary additional functions.  

The range consists of three sizes: VariMax25M, VariMax50M and VariMax100M.  

All control units run a 3-phase stepping motor.  

All control units have an input signal of 0-10 V. 

• The VariMax50M is designed for rotors up to 2500 mm with a rotor speed of max.  

12 rpm. If the rotor requires a faster rotor speed, the rotor diameter should be reduced. 

• The VariMax50M has built-in input signal shift, which means that the rotor's efficiency is 

proportional to the input signal.

• The VariMax50M has a preset threshold value of 0,1 V (hysteresis 0,13–0,07 V). 

If the input signal falls below this value, the rotor will stop.

• The VariMax50M has a rotation monitor (magnet mounted on the rotor with associated 

magnet transmitter) and a built-in cleaning function. 

The functions can be disconnected via DIP switches. 

• The VariMax50M starts automatically after voltage drop-out, and resets  

all alarms on restart.

• The VariMax-motor50 is a stepper motor with substantial moment over the entire speed 

range.

• When the motor is stationary, a holding moment is activated, which means that the rotor 

always remains still. 

The holding moment disappears if the voltage to the control unit is lost.

• The motor is mounted with a 3 m cable as standard. 

• If total cable length exceeds 3 m, external EMC filters should be used.
