Drive control assembly for controlling a motor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A drive control assembly for a motor, the drive control assembly is configured to be mounted to a mounting surface, the drive control assembly comprising:
- a bypass module for providing bypass control for the motor, the bypass module having a first side facing towards the mounting surface, and a second opposing side facing away from the mounting surface;
a variable frequency drive module for providing variable speed control for the motor, the variable frequency drive module removably mounted relative to the bypass module such that the variable frequency drive module extends from adjacent the second opposing side of the bypass module and in a direction away from the mounting surface, the variable frequency drive module is removable from the drive control assembly without removing the bypass module;
a switch for switching control for the motor between the variable frequency drive module and the bypass module, the variable frequency drive module is also removable from the drive control assembly without removing the switch; and
wherein the bypass module provides control for the motor when the switch switches control for the motor to the bypass module, and wherein the bypass module can continue to provide control for the motor even when the variable frequency drive module is removed from the drive control assembly.

Abstract
A drive control assembly for a motor including a variable frequency drive module for providing variable speed control for the motor, a bypass module for providing bypass control for the motor, and a switch for switching control for the motor between the variable frequency drive module and the bypass module. The bypass module can provide control for the motor even when the variable frequency drive module is removed from the drive control assembly.
