Pump Controller System and Method

摘要

A method and apparatus for a pump control system. One or more embodiments of the invention include a pump controller that can perform a self-calibrating procedure, can provide precise motor speed control, can provide a limp mode before shutting down the motor when system parameters are exceeded and/or fault conditions occur, can detect fault conditions, and can store fault conditions for later retrieval.

主权项

1. A pump controller for use with a pump having a motor, the pump connected to a water distribution system, the pump controller comprising:
a first processor, the first processor programmed to perform a self-calibration procedure to determine a minimum non-zero flow speed of the motor, and to detect fault conditions in the water distribution system; and a second processor that communicates with the first processor, the second processor programmed to receive one or more inputs from one or more sensors in the water distribution system and to coordinate serial communications with a user input device.
