  • Publication number: 20170047882
    Abstract: A multi-motor system, including a plurality of ECMs. The ECMs include a main ECM and a plurality of subordinate ECMs. A first temperature detection unit and a second temperature detection unit detect a temperature T1 and a temperature T2 at different positions, respectively; the main ECM automatically selects an operation parameter according to temperature differences between the temperature T1 and the temperature T2. The main ECM informs each subordinate ECM of the temperature T1 and the temperature T2, and each subordinate ECM selects an operation parameter according to the temperature T1 and the temperature T2. In operation, the main ECM informs each subordinate ECM of the temperature T1 and the temperature T2, and each subordinate ECM selects an operation parameter in accordance with the temperature T1 and the temperature T2.

    Abstract: An ECM motor, including: a motor controller and a motor body. A microprocessor of the motor controller is connected to a first temperature detecting unit and a second temperature detecting unit disposed at different positions outside the ECM motor for detecting temperatures at the different positions. In operation, when the temperature difference between the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2 is smaller than or equal to a preset value T0, a first gear at the rotational speed S1 is selected by the microprocessor and the motor is controlled to run constantly in the first gear at the rotational speed S1. When the temperature difference between the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2 is larger than the preset value T0, a second rotational speed S2 is selected by the microprocessor and the motor is controlled to run constantly in the second gear at the rotational speed S2.

  • Publication number: 20160268935
    Abstract: Intermediate connecting devices and electronically commutated (ECM) motors for HVAC systems are disclosed, as well as methods for their use within the HVAC systems. An interface component device coupled to a system controller and an ECM motor may be configured to receive a first and second signal, and convert the voltage across the received signals to a lower-value voltage signal compatible with the ECM motor. The converted voltage signal may be transmitted to the ECM motor to cause the motor to operate in one of a plurality of operation modes. An ECM motor that includes a tap detection circuit and a processor may be configured to receive a voltage signal from the interface component and detect at which input port the voltage signal is received. The ECM motor may select the operation mode for the motor based on the detection of which input port received the voltage signal.
