  • Packet-based networking of variable frequency drives
    Patent number: 10727767
    Abstract: One or more Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) are connected to a packet network and the power transistor drive signals normally generated by the VFD to produce a desired Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) motor drive signal are generated by a software controller located in the packet network and transmitted to the VFD. The control of the VFDs can be (1) centralized using some centralized software controller communicating to the VFDs over the packet network, and/or (2) distributed, in which case VFDs can peer with each other over the packet network, to communicate control state.
    Type: Grant
