Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An automatic self-driving pump system features a pump/motor/drive detector and an automatic self-driving and control design/setup module. In operation, the pump/motor/drive detector receives sensed signaling containing information about a pump/drive for operating in a hydronic pump system, e.g., stored in and sensed from a signature chip or barcode installed that can be scanned by a scanner, and provides corresponding database signaling containing information about parameters for providing automatic pump control design, setup and run to control the pump/drive for operating in the hydronic pump system, based upon the sensed signaling received. The automatic self-driving and control design/setup module receives the corresponding database signaling, and provides control signaling containing information for providing the automatic pump control design, setup and run to control the pump/drive for operating in the hydronic pump system, based upon the corresponding database signaling received.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What we claim is: 1. An automatic self-driving pump system, comprising: a controller having a signal processor configured to receive sensed signaling containing information about parameters for automatic pump control design, initial setup and run to control a pump drive for operating in a hydronic pump system, and provide control signaling containing information to control the pump drive for an initial startup configuration and subsequent operation in the hydronic pump system after the initial startup, based upon the sensed signaling received; the controller comprising: an automatic self-driving module configured to receive the control signaling and pressure and flow signaling containing information about the pressure (P) and flow (Q) of the pump drive, and provide automatic self-driving module signaling containing information to control the pump drive for the initial startup configuration and subsequent operation in the hydronic pump system after initial startup; and an automatic system and flow moving average peak (MAP) detector configured to receive the pressure and flow signaling, and provide automatic system and flow MAP detector signaling based upon a moving average peak (MAP) determined; the MAP being determined and defined as following: C _ vmax ( t ) = { M A P ( C v ( t ) ) , C v < C _ vmax C v ( t ) , C v ≥ C _ vmax ( 1.1 ) Q _ max ( t ) = { M A P ( Q ( t ) ) , Q < Q _ max Q
