iCOMTM Control Drives
Liebert® PDX to the Highest
Efficiency Levels
The iCOM device features a unique control algorithm designed to
manage the operation of the Liebert PDX units, ensuring top reliability in
all conditions. Liebert PDX units with the iCOM control graphic display,
may be centrally monitored and controlled with the optional wall
mounted display. The display allows access to the unit via the Network,
making coordination between Liebert PDX units within the same room
possible as a result of the integrated Ethernet connection. The self
monitoring of redundant units alternates standby positions and gives
priority to possible hot spots. The high-level supervision of multiple
units allows them to work together as a single system optimizing
room temperature and humidity. This is of particular importance for
EC fans. EC fan power consumption is exponential. Having five units
running at 80% instead of four at 100% will lower the total energy used
by the entire group by 36%. iCOM manages the reduction of fan speed
whenever operation at full capacity is not required. Liebert PDX digital
modulates both fans and compressors thus increasing the entire
system's efficiency. Efficiency is in turn further increased as a result
of Liebert PDX's ability to share the heat load among installed units,
guaranteeing ideal cooling levels while minimizing consumption.

Unit to Unit Communication


iCOM directly connects with the facility network (Ethernet) and
enables communication between multiple Liebert PDX units for
synchronized operation, guaranteeing increased reliability and
precision cooling room control.

Liebert® MC: The New Condensing Technology
Liebert MC new microchannel condensers are ideally designed to match the outstanding
performances of Liebert® PDX. The highly efficient Liebert MC unit directly communicates with
Liebert PDX units via the integrated iCOMTM Control, providing significant advantages in terms of
condenser management. The Liebert MC can thus be managed through the Liebert PDX iCOM
control allowing the complete coordination of unit and condenser settings status and alarm
conditions. The possibility of selecting silent functioning modes at defined times (i.e. during the
night or the weekend), through the unit control, further ensures full operating flexibility.
