Multi-protocol control module UNIcon

analogwith integrated I/O

Overview
ZIEHL-ABEGG UNIcon control modules combine sensor inputs and control intelligence to regulate fans and power controllers. They accept ZIEHL-ABEGG sensors and continuously compare measured values with required setpoints. Depending on the version, outputs are 0–10 V or MODBUS to actuate ECblue motors/fans, frequency inverters or other power controllers.

Product specification
UNIcon universal control modules are compatible with all ZIEHL-ABEGG sensors. The measured actual value is compared with the specified nominal value. The UNIcon sensor control module integrates sensor functionality with regulation intelligence to provide automated control of connected actuators.

Properties & special features
The UNIcon universal modules with integrated MODBUS master function enable simple automatic addressing of connected ECblue fans or frequency inverters. Predefined operating modes simplify commissioning. Additional inputs and outputs are available depending on the version.

Versions / Functions

• Universal UNIcon modules with integrated MODBUS master, selectable preset operating modes and integrated additional I/Os.
• Sensor control modules for pressure regulation in refrigeration systems (condensers).
• Sensor control modules for differential pressure regulation in air-conditioning or ventilation/extraction systems; optional control based on air volume flow.
• Dedicated control modules for temperature regulation.
• Industry-specific versions, e.g. agricultural variants (UNIcon as a ventilation computer).
