  • Publication number: 20240093897
    Abstract: An interface module configured to control a motor in an HVAC system is provided. The interface module includes a processor coupled in communication with a memory. The processor is configured to wirelessly receive configuration data from a wireless device, store the wirelessly received configuration data in the memory, determine a first operating parameter at which to operate the motor based on the configuration data and at least one signal received from a first device, and control the motor in accordance with the first operating parameter.

  • Patent number: 10635070
    Abstract: A programming module, systems, and methods for programming a motor controller coupled to a motor are provided. The programming module includes a connector for coupling to a system control wire harness of a system control board and a wire harness for coupling to a motor connector of the motor controller such that the programming module is serially coupled between the system control board and the motor controller. The module also includes a tap detection circuit coupled to the connector for detecting which tap of a plurality of motor taps is called by the system control board. A wireless communication device is configured to transmit an identification of the called tap wirelessly to a programming computing device, receive an adjusted operating parameter for the motor that is associated with the called tap from the programming computing device, and transmit, via the wire harness, the adjusted operating parameter to the motor controller.

  • Patent number: 10284130
    Abstract: A permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor includes a stator defining an axis of rotation and a rotor disposed adjacent the stator. The stator includes a start winding, a capacitor electrically coupled in series with the start winding, a first plurality of windings, and a second plurality of windings. At least one winding of the first plurality of windings is energized in parallel with at least one winding of the second plurality of windings at a first voltage and in series with the at least one winding of the second plurality of windings at a second voltage. The first and second pluralities of windings are energized to produce a plurality of motor speeds. The rotor rotates relative to the stator about the axis of rotation at a selected one of the plurality of motor speeds induced at least partially by a magnetic output of the windings of the stator.

  • Patent number: 10038348
    Abstract: A liner for use for a resilient stator of an electric machine for positioning between teeth formed in the stator. The stator is conformable from a first generally extending shape with opposed spaced apart ends and to a second generally hollow circular shape. The liner includes a central portion for positioning in a cavity between the adjacent teeth, a first end portion for limiting motion of the liner extending from the central portion and adapted to cooperate with a first end face of the stator, and a second end portion extending from the central portion and cooperating with a second end face of the stator, opposed to the first end face. The first end portion limits motion of the liner. The liner is positioned between adjacent teeth when the stator is in the first shape and remains in the cavity when the stator is in the second shape.
