SmartFan Fusion DC Fan Speed Control and Alarm
SmartFan Fusion provides more power (9 Amps), more DC fan speed control and alarm capability (up to 9) than any previous CRI catalog product. In addition, the Fusion offers the features & flexibility of its predecessor, the SmartFan Multi-SR, plus ATCA compliance for managed or intelligent FRU cooling systems. In order to fully meet the telecommunications industry's first open standard for carrier-grade systems, the Fusion will communicate with shelf management modules via dual IPMBs as specified by AdvancedTCA PICMG 3.0.

The control will provide FRU information, individual fan status and temperature readings. The Fusion accepts fan speed control commands and regulates fan speed using a buck regulator control circuit. The Fusion can also be configured to control fan speed based on temperature, I2C commands (single or dual) or analog control signal (PWM, 5.0 VDC). Configuration of the Fusion is settable via I2C interface or options can be set at the factory to your specifications


I2C Design Tips: Check out our review of the advantages of using
I2C Communication for Fan Speed Control in Telecom Cooling Applications. Includes sample protocol and operations flowchart found in many of our standard SmartFan DC controls.
In addition to the standard line of SmartFan controls and alarms, Control Resources also provides custom control design and manufacturing services to provide you with the optimum cooling solution for your OEM control applications.
