FCR3
400 Vac phase-cutting speed controllers with
Modbus RTU RS485 serial connection
The FCR3 devices are slave microprocessor The main parameters are:
controllers that manage three-phase • select Min/Cut-off speed;
asynchronous motors. The are mainly • set delay at start-up;
• RS485 serial connection;
used to control condenser fan motors on • select minimum and maximum speed; • upload/download
refrigeration units. • set linear or quadratic function;
The control signal may be analogue 0 to • directly manage output speed (override); parameters with
10 V, PWM, 0 to 20 mA or Modbus RTU • select output speed when an alarm is programming key;
over RS485 serial; the devices also feature a active (0%, 50%, 100%);
digital input and a digital output for alarm • read internal operating temperature. • models: 6, 9, 12, 20, 40 A;
management.
The serial port is used for remote
400 V.
supervision of all the parameters in the
controlled system. Up to 255 addresses can
be set on the Modbus network.
The parameters can be configured via the
serial connection or using a programming
key.
