Motors & Drives Information

Trend Control Systems, one of Europe's leading Building Management System manufacturers in the worldwide HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning) market, has sold more than 10,000 pcs of Vacon NX drives to the building automation segment. The Vacon NX range of AC drives is fast becoming the preferred choice for the building automation arena in the UK. Trend is one of the major Vacon co-operation partners and supplies the Vacon AC drives under the Trend brand.

The companies have jointly developed a specific interface option card for the NX drives.

For controlling and monitoring purposes, the NXNI option card gives the customer full interface between the Trend BMS (Building Management System), the NX drive and the building.

To complement this partnership, Trend have been selling the NX drives to the building services sector for four years.

A good proportion of these NX drives have been supplied into many of the major projects seen in the UK, where technical regulative and customer preference have won the business against strong competition.

These major projects include the Royals Business Park in London's Docklands, Broad Quay House in Bristol and the Manchester Museum.
