5.5.1 Linear fan speed (VntCtl23y, FanSu23y, FanEh23y)
Fan speed control
Supply fan and exhaust fan setpoints have defined setting for each operating mode
level. Individual percentage value is used between 0…100 %. These settings only
define the fan speed used in various operating modes and they have no effect on
other functions like de-icing or AQ/r.H. control.
During active AQ/r.H. control, values set here are used as minimum speed. During
active temperature control, values set here are used as maximum speed.
Depending on deviations to setpoint, temperature, AQ/r.H. control can freely
increase/decrease the speed of both fans simultaneously with symmetrical control
signal which then keeps the set supply / exhaust ratio in every situation.
Fan speed monitoring
Fan spend can be monitored to detect the actual speed of the fans or possible
device problems if fans with tacho signal output are used, or a separate analog
input for fan speed is available, or if Modbus fans are used, the fan speed can be
monitored to detect the actual speed of the fans or possible device problems. The
tacho input signal is mapped to a 0...100% value and each fan has a configurable
minimum fan speed and a minimum feedback signal assigned to the minimum fan
speed value. A fan speed feedback fault is detected if fan speed output is higher
than the minimum fan speed and the fan speed feedback drops below the fan
speed feedback fault limit for longer than an allowed tolerance time.
The allowed tolerance time (limited to a maximum of 60 sec) is the time, after
switching on, that it has built up the correct air flow. The same conditions apply for
the startup procedure. The startup configuration is also used for the fan speed
monitoring.
Fan speed feedback fault is combined with the fan error signal to create a fan fault
alarm.
For Modbus fans, Modbus communication is also supervised.
The alarm category of all fan alarms for both fans can be configured as
●
A-Alarm (shutting down the plant) or
●
B-Alarm (only indication, no shutdown function) or
●
None (no fault supervision. Use only when no feedback signal exists and do
not use on Modbus fans).
