Greaves Airconditioning engaged Dominar Engineers to upgrade its HVAC motor control systems with a series of intelligent, wall-mounted variable frequency drives (VFDs) featuring native BACnet building automation connectivity. These drives enable precise speed control across multiple motors, enhancing energy efficiency and operational flexibility.
The system supports seamless integration with the facility’s existing automation platform. Each VFD can be monitored and controlled through BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP networks, allowing centralized setup, diagnostics, and operation from a building management system . With embedded BACnet support built into both the drives and optional bypass modules, these units offer flexible integration and centralized monitoring capabilities .
User-friendly drive selection, installation, and commissioning are facilitated by a consistent enclosure footprint and intuitive interface. Safety and reliability are enhanced through built-in features such as motor protection, safe-torque-off, and smart bypass options all operable through BACnet communication channels .
By deploying this VFD solution, Greaves benefits from smoother motor start-stop cycles, reduced mechanical stress, and optimal energy usage through precise speed regulation in alignment with building demands.
