APG001Z Interface Card Option
Addendum
This document is an addendum to the APOGEE®FLN Option Unit Instruction Manual #E6581541.
Because the VF-PS1 is built on the same platform as the Q9 ASD, it is recommended that this document
to be used in conjunction with the To sh iba Q9 ASD Installation and Operation Manual (P/N 59445).
The Q9 ASD Installation and Operation Manual may be acquired from the Toshiba.com/ind web site
(click Drives\Q9 LV Variable Torque HVAC\Manuals).
For safety and application-specific reasons, some ASD installations will warrant that the operator not be
in the vicinity during ASD operation or that the ASD control be executed remotely. The APG001Z
interface card is an optional circuit board that is mounted internal to the ASD and is used to facilitate
communication with the host via the Floor Level Network (FLN) protocol.
Using the APG001Z interface card the Q9 ASD may be monitored and controlled remotely. The
APG001Z interface card has a built-in FLN communication driver and point database which allows the
Q9 ASD to communicate over the APOGEE®network with other FLN devices.
The APG001Z is simple to install and is ideally suited for use in fan and pump control applications,and in
similar equipment.
