An ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors) product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 10, 2008

The ABB standard drive for HVAC, ACH550, has become the first variable speed drive to receive the European Bacnet certification.

The drive has been approved and listed by Bacnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) as meeting the updated Bacnet standard ISO 16484-5:2007.

The BTL mark remains the international uniform symbol for Bacnet conforming products, ensuring that the device meets the Bacnet standard.

The certificate ensures that the testing process has been carried out against a valid Bacnet standard by an accredited testing laboratory; and that the functionality of the product is as described by the manufacturer.

The rising number of devices using Bacnet and growing applications for these devices has made it necessary to provide reliable information on the functionality and interaction of devices to ensure that they perform at a high level.

To meet this need, the Bacnet Interest Group Europe (BIG-EU) has introduced the new certification process.

To achieve certification, the ABB drive had to pass the Bacnet Standard ISO 16484-5:2007 conformity test.

The approval gives reassurance that the ABB standard drive for HVAC meets the valid Bacnet standards and will operate successfully with other BTL listed devices.

Bacnet is designed specifically to meet the communication needs of building automation and control systems.
