Benefits 1) We are able to supply VFD systems with multiple inputs signals ranges to compete with our competitors. 2) We are able to use Grundfos PFU 2000 as the main processor to control the full system
3) We will be minimising outsourcing or external controller in order to serve the HVAC market. 4) The MM allows us to integrate into the system multiple sensor control at a more cost effective price.
