Trane TR200 VFD Details

The Trane TR200 VFD is specifically engineered for HVAC applications, seamlessly integrating with the Siemens Floor Level Network (FLN) protocol. This integration allows for comprehensive control and real-time monitoring of the drive's operations via a serial bus, using its standard RS-485 port. Users can access critical system status, motor and drive performance, and diagnostic information, including energy consumption in kWh and total operating hours.

Beyond network communication, the TR200 VFD boasts robust internal protective features. It continuously monitors both the motor and the drive for thermal overload, displaying the percentage of thermal load and issuing warnings or alarms if limits are exceeded. Additionally, the drive provides current monitoring and limiting capabilities, restricting the maximum current supplied to the motor to manage torque output effectively.

Operational flexibility is a core strength, with features like bidirectional motor rotation, crucial for applications such as smoke extraction or de-icing cooling towers. The drive supports programmable motor ramp-up and ramp-down rates, adjustable from one to 3600 seconds. Its Hand/Auto modes offer versatile control, allowing manual speed setting via the keypad or automatic operation through digital inputs or FLN commands.

To ensure network reliability, the TR200 VFD includes configurable bus functions. Users can program the drive to respond to communication timeouts by ignoring the loss, freezing its current output, stopping, or running at a preset jog frequency. This level of customization ensures consistent operation even in challenging network environments, minimizing potential disruptions to critical HVAC systems.

A sophisticated built-in proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller is a standout feature, enabling closed-loop system control directly from the drive. This PID controller supports two feedback values and two setpoints, adaptable for various applications like controlling return fans or secondary pumping systems. Furthermore, the TR200 includes a practical Sleep Mode for energy savings, automatically stopping the drive during low demand periods and restarting when preset "wakeup" demand is met.

The drive’s two programmable relay outputs (Form C, 240 VAC, 2 Amp) can be controlled via the serial bus, effectively extending network programmable relay capabilities. Analog input terminals (0-10 VDC/0-20 mA) are available for reference or feedback signals, which can also be used to convert any analog transmitter signal into a digital bus signal for monitoring, aiding in commissioning and diagnostics.

Finally, the TR200 VFD provides extensive warning and alarm systems, displaying specific codes for faults and adverse conditions. These alarms can be reset manually via the keypad, a digital input, or through the FLN serial bus, with an auto-reset function available for non-trip-locked alarms, ensuring swift recovery and continuous operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Trane TR200 VFD, and we answer them below.


What is the primary communication protocol supported by the Trane TR200 VFD?
The Trane TR200 VFD primarily supports the Siemens Floor Level Network (FLN) communication protocol, built directly into its control card.

What are the main safety precautions when working with the TR200 VFD?
Always disconnect the drive from line power before maintenance, wait for the specified discharge time for DC link capacitors, and ensure proper grounding. Never use the STOP/RESET key as a safety switch.

Can the TR200 VFD operate in a closed-loop control system?
Yes, the Trane TR200 VFD has a sophisticated built-in proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller, allowing it to control closed-loop systems using feedback and setpoints.

How does the TR200 VFD provide motor and drive thermal protection?
The drive continuously monitors the thermal load of both the motor and the drive, displaying the percentage of thermal load and issuing warnings or alarms if thermal limits are exceeded, in accordance with Class 20 motor overload protection.

What is the purpose of 'Sleep Mode' in the TR200 VFD?
Sleep Mode is an energy-saving feature that automatically stops the drive when system demand is low over a period of time. It then restarts the motor when a preset 'wakeup' demand is reached, conserving energy and reducing equipment wear.

How can I reset alarms on the Trane TR200 VFD?
Alarms can be reset in several ways: using the [RESET] button on the keypad, via a digital input with a 'Reset' function, through the serial communication bus, or automatically using the [Auto Reset] function for non-trip-locked alarms.

What are the capabilities of the programmable relay outputs on the TR200 VFD?
The TR200 VFD features two programmable relay outputs (Form C, 240 VAC, 2 Amp) that can be triggered through the serial bus. This allows the FLN to utilize the drive's built-in relays as additional network-programmable relays for various control functions.

What are the supported baud rates for FLN communication on the TR200 VFD?
The FLN communication protocol on the TR200 VFD operates at selectable rates of 4800 or 9600 baud via the RS-485 serial interface.

Can the Trane TR200 VFD handle motor direction reversal during operation?
Yes, the drive responds to serial commands to safely reverse the motor's direction while in operation, which is beneficial for applications like vane axial fans used for smoke extraction or cooling towers for de-icing.

What happens if serial communication is lost with the TR200 VFD?
The drive's bus functions allow for programmable responses to communication timeouts. If the communication wait time is exceeded, the drive can be configured to ignore the loss, freeze its current output, stop, run at a predetermined jog frequency, run at maximum output frequency, or stop and trip with an alarm.

Are there any special considerations for installing the TR200 VFD at high altitudes?
Yes, for altitudes above 6,561 ft [2 km] (for 380–500 V, enclosure A, B, C) or 9,842 ft [3 km] (for 380–500 V, enclosure D, E, F), Trane must be contacted regarding PELV/Class II specifications and potential de-rating due to cooling challenges.

How can I monitor analog input signals even if they are not used for drive control?
The analog input terminals 53 and 54 (0–10 VDC/0–20 mA) can be monitored via data points 87 to 88 even when programmed to 'No Function'. This allows for useful commissioning and conversion of analog transmitter signals into digital bus signals for the FLN.
