IC package help to control the FAN speed of around 24 exhaust fans using Wireless temperature sensor

I need to connect the exhaust fan which will be driven by Wireless Temperature Sensor set the limit in such a way that I can control the speed of the exhaust fan according to temperature readings,

 I 'll be able to work on code but I need IC package suggestion which is useful to control the inline Exhaust fans running with the AC power supply of 220V any circuit,

Any leads will be a great help. 

  • Hello Robson,

    Please clarify your design requirements. My understanding is that one wireless temperature sensor controls the speed of 24, 220 VAC fan motors continuously based on temperature. Example: Temp = 70 deg. F, all fans 100 RPM, Temp = 75 deg. F, all fans 120 RPM, Temp = 80 deg. F, all fans 130 RPM etc. Is that correct?

  • exactly what I am looking, but the problem is I don't know what kind of IC packages will be useful to work with 24 Fan motors which are working at 220VAC

  • Hi Robson,

    For the wireless portion of your design, you could use an IR Transmitter and receiver and our MSP430 MCU as shown here:

    Another alternative is something like our MSP430 based Low Power Wireless design slaa378d.pdf

    If your motor is a single phase, 220 VAC motor capable of variable speed operation, then the a DIAC/TRIAC speed control circuit can be used:


    If your 220 VAC motor is a 3-phase AC Induction motor, then you can use a C2000 DSP based speed control:

    See this http://www.ti.com/solution/ac-drive-power-stage-module for a generic block diagram that will allow you to select various subsystems and search for TI Products and reference designs. Note solutions for 3-phase motor drivers, temp sensors, processors etc.
