PumpSmart provides the next level in intelligentpumping by using a standard variable frequency
drive and directly imbedding pump specificalgorithms into the drive.
Advanced pump Control,Protection, and Optimization
logic designed to prevent failures,improve pump reliability and
maximize the Flow Economyof your process systems.
Whereas other vendors will sell the VFD for your pump; let uspick the right control solution for your system. Your success is
our goal. We are here to help you analyze your existing system,select the best solution and help justify the benefits.

Integrated Process ControlPumpSmart offers automatic pump controlby integrating the pump controller in the drive.No external controller is required, making PumpSmarta simple and cost-effective solution for your basicpumping needs.
Drive for the DCSWhile most VFD’s can provide basic information toyour control system, PumpSmart systems have beendesigned to provide the important data you needto help run your process smoothly and efficiently.
Process Control Features
As standard, PumpSmart systems come equippedwith advanced process control features that helpoptimize your pumping system for maximumuptime, reliability and energy savings.
PumpSmart is pump-specific and wasdeveloped to protect the pump andoptimize pump control. PumpSmart can beapplied to any manufacturer’s centrifugalor positive displacement pump.
Use PumpSmart as a standard VFD, but gainunprecedented insight into the performance of thepump with sensorless functions such as Smart Flow,Flow Economy and Advanced Pump Protection.

Integrated PID ControlPumpSmart includes an integratedpump controller that can automaticallycontrol the pump based on feedbackfrom a process transmitter.Pump-specific algorithms makefield setup quick and simple.
PumpSmart is ideal for all pumps that canbenefit from simple and automatic control.
Typical Applications: Pressure, Flow, Level, Temperature,Differential Pressure
Enhanced Data
Low suction pressure can lead to the onset of cavitation,resulting in reduced flow and lower pumpefficiencies. Prolonged exposure can evenresult in eventual pump failure.
PumpSmart can monitor the suction conditionsof your pump to protect against cavitation.Cavitation Control improves overall pump reliability inlow NPSH services that routinely cause pump failure.
Typical Services: Evaporator, Condensate,Batch Transfer, Unloading
Optimized Control
Cavitation Control & Protection
Advanced Pressure ControlThe practice of setting the pump to maintain the highestpressure requirement is a wasted opportunity to maximizethe energy savings in a constant pressure system.
SMARTFLOW requires only four pieces ofstandard price book performance curve data.A self-calibration function takes into accountchanges in mechanical losses, volumetricefficiency and separates the true hydraulicload to calculate the actual pump flow.
Pump ProtectionPumpSmart can protect your pump from process upset conditions,such as dry-run, dead-head, shut-off, minimum flowand run-out.
With patented sensorless pump protection algorithms,PumpSmart is able to determine the operating state of yourpump at any operating speed.
Using a simple load monitor functionon a variable speed pump applicationcan lead to false indications of pumpdistress. Be confident your pump isprotected by the pump experts.

Advanced Pressure Control recognizes an increasein demand and automatically increases the pressuresetpoint to match the system resistance curvemaximizing Flow Economy.
By matchingthe pressuresetpoint to thesystem curve,maximumenergy savingsis realized.
SMARTFLOW
Sensorless flow measurement within± 5% of the pump’s rated flow.
Determining the flow of a centrifugal pump can be achallenging exercise without a flow meter. PumpSmart is ableto capture real-time data such as speed, torque and powerand use this information to calculate the flow of the pump.

Factors youmust include in your pumpprotection logic:
Flow Economy is a simplemetric that defines how much fluid
can be moved per unit of energy.Similar to fuel economy of your car,
Flow Economy defines how much flow(gpm or m3/hr) can be moved
with 1 kilowatt (kW) of power.

Operating a pump withlow suction pressure
can result in theformation of cavitation.
As suction pressure drops to acritical level PumpSmart reacts
by slowing down the pump.
Reducing the pump speed canreduce the NPSH requirements
of the pump which can helpsuppress the onset of cavitation.

MultiPump ControlControl coordination between 2 to 4 pumps
SMARTCONTROL
All too often, multi-pump systems end up running withall the pumps on, all the time. This situation leads to highvibrations, pressure buildup and excess energyconsumption… to name a few.
PumpSmart runs only the pumps necessary to meet thecurrent system demand. In addition, it ensures that flowis balanced between the operating pumps using ourSmartControl functionality. In total, energy consumptionis greatly reduced, and mean time between failure of thepumps and the surrounding system is vastly improved.
When changing the speed of the pump with arelatively flat head-capacity curve, a small speedchange can result in a large swing in flow.
This type of system can result in unstable flow,making control very difficult.
SMART CONTROL is able to increase and decrease pumpflow by changing the pump torque rather than thepump speed. Controlling to pump torque can changea relatively flat pump performance curve into a steep,easy-to-control pump performance curve.
