Drive receives first BACnet certification
The ABB standard drive for HVAC, ACH550, has become the first variable speed drive to receive the new 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.
ABB's standard drive for HVAC was the first BTL approved drive, back in 2005, and is now the first BACnet certified drive. During that time ABB has delivered some 20,000 such drives for BACnet installations worldwide, showing that the ABB standard drive for HVAC will run smoothly with equipment from other manufacturers.
The BACnet certificate for the ABB standard drive for HVAC, ACH550, can be downloaded as a PDF file from ABB's website, http://www.abb.co.uk/hvacdrives
