Slave Actuator for Automatic Home or Building HVAC System

Renesas' slave actuator units’ Bluetooth® 5 Mesh communication enables communication with other sensors and the actuators

Image of Renesas' Slave Actuator for Automatic Home or Building HVAC SystemRenesas' slave actuator unit(s) control a fan or HVAC in one room or section of a home or building by following instructions from the master actuator.

This can be one or all of the following fan controls: RPM of a brushless DC (BLDC) fan motor; direction of flow, i.e., in/out (and optionally swipe up/down, left/right); flow sensor (liter/min); and electrical heater 0% to 100%.

If the actuator controls an HVAC rather than a simple fan, it may have additional sensors and outputs of its own, such as an RPM of a BLDC compressor motor or a compressor pressure sensor (bar), to better control the HVAC.

An additional GUI using capacitive touch, simple push buttons, an LCD, or a combination of those can be used to display local values and enter data. A more sophisticated GUI can also be achieved via a master actuator, IP gateway, or smartphone. A real-time clock (RTC) can easily be added to switch between different operation modes depending on the day, time, holiday, and more. All RTCs can also be synchronized within the system.

Features and Benefits
  • Bluetooth 5 Mesh communication enables communication with other sensors and actuators; advantages of Bluetooth 5 include:
    • Secure bidirectional packet data flow
    • Low power (can go down to µA average while being connected)
    • Additional wiring is not required
    • No additional wiring required
    • Scalable speed vs. range (i.e., for four times range or a double speed option, depending on the location)
    • Mains will usually be needed for the power (e.g., 230 VAC or 110 VAC or 24 VDC) from the building control system; Renesas has a comprehensive set of solutions available, depending on the exact use case
