ABB Inc., Low Voltage Drives, a leading supplier to the U.S. HVAC market, released the FLON-01 LonWorks Adapter module for the company’s E-Clipse Bypass option for the ACH550 drive for HVAC applications.

In addition to allowing fast and simple LonWorks connectivity of the E-Clipse Bypass and ACH550 drive, the FLON-01 also supports pass-through I/O, allowing integrators to use the E-Clipse Bypass and ACH550 drive’s digital and analog inputs/outputs as free I/O points in their system.

The FLON-01 also strengthens further the E-Clipse Bypass’s superior serial connectivity portfolio. This new adapter makes the E-Clipse Bypass option for the ACH550 the first, and currently, the only VFD bypass to be LonMark product certified.
