An HVAC actuator () comprises a motor (), a motor controller () coupled to the motor (), and a heating apparatus () thermally coupled to the HVAC actuator (). The HVAC actuator () further comprises a condensation controller () coupled to the heating apparatus (). The condensation controller () is configured to monitor at least one condensation parameter, and to control the heating apparatus () using the at least one condensation parameter.

HVAC actuator with heating apparatus

An actuator (M,S) with a motor () and a motor controller () is configurable to operate as a master or a slave to another actuator which is coupled mechanically for driving a common load. For the case where the actuator (M) is set as the master, the motor controller () receives on an input terminal (Y) an external position control signal (pC), generates a motor control signal (sC) for controlling the motor () based on the position control signal (pC), and supplies the motor control signal (sC) to an output terminal (U) for controlling a slave. For the case where the actuator (S) is set as the slave, the motor controller () controls the motor () by supplying to the motor () the motor control signal (sC) received from the master. Controlling the actuators with a master improves workload balancing and reduces damages to transmission mechanics of the actuators.
