intelligent pump control

Pump control systems manage pump operation according to pressure, flow or level in booster sets, water supply, irrigation and tank-filling applications. This category covers pump drives, digital controllers and control panels. Compare the products listed below to find equipment suited to your application.
Subcategories are organised by motor power, from 0.75 kW to 110 kW and above. Drives adjust motor speed, digital controllers handle measurement and control signals, and panels bring the selected power and control equipment together. For multi-pump installations, check support for cascade operation, duty rotation based on operating hours and standby control.
Do not select by kW alone: assess supply voltage, phase configuration, motor nameplate current and motor type together. The pressure transmitter measuring range and its 4–20 mA or 0–10 V output must match the controller’s analogue input. Mounting, panel ventilation, ambient temperature and enclosure protection also matter.
PID control, sleep/wake operation, dry-run detection and communication depend on the model. Support for these functions does not automatically eliminate the need for sensors or external protection. Acceleration/deceleration ramps and S-curve settings must suit the operating limits of the pump and pipework.
Appropriate speed control can deliver energy savings under variable demand; the result depends on the pump and system operating conditions. A conventional inverter does not automatically eliminate supply harmonics. Any need for a harmonic filter or a different drive solution requires separate assessment.
