Boston Design Solutions will Design a Fan Controller to meet your Specifications:

  • System Optimized Controller & Fan Controller designed to meet cooling requirements
  • Single or Multiple, Redundant Fan Shelves
  • Optically Isolated Control & Status
  • On board DC-to-DC converters
  • Hot swappable bi-directional buffers
  • Redundant, two channel I2C switch for fail free communication with system controller
  • Synchronized fan control to reduce audible beat frequency
  • Software enabled, automatic fan speed control
  • N+1 Fan and 1+1 System Redundancy
  • Programmable status LED’s

Typical Specifications

  • Redundant -48V nominal input voltage
  • On-board DC-to-DC converters to regulate voltage to the fans and control logic.
  • Input power filter and in-rush current limit circuit and power pin sequencing to allow hot-insertion
  • Optically isolated control and status signals to the system controller, eliminating the possibility of ground loop
  • Able to Communicate to a pair of redundant system controllers via a two channel I2C (SMBus) switch
  • Hot swappable I2C bi-directional buffer, allowing long backplane traces or cables.
  • Control and monitor up to 16 linear fans
  • Control and monitor up to 16 PWM (20Hz to 250Hz)
  • Supports hot swapping of Fans
  • Supports backup and redundant Fans
  • Synchronized fan control to reduce audible beat frequency
  • Software controlled and automatic fan speed control
  • Automatic fan speed control allows control independent of system controller intervention
  • Allows N+1 Fan configuration for high reliability
  • Provides control signals for 1+1 Fan tray redundancy
  • Programmable status signals to control LEDs
