Abstract
A plurality of pump related monitoring devices can communicate wirelessly with displaced user circuits. The user circuits can in turn acquire data via a respective monitoring device associated with a pump, pump control system, pump motor, backup batteries and the like all without limitations. If desired, the user circuits can carry out a polling process relative to a plurality of monitoring devices.
Claims36
A pump monitoring system comprising
- at least one sensor of a pump related condition;
- control circuitry coupled to the at least one sensor;
- a wireless transceiver coupled to the control circuits, the control circuits, in response to a received wireless control signal transfer received information from at least one sensor to the transceiver for transmission.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of pump monitoring units, each of the units including at least one pump-related sensor and a wireless transceiver;
- a base unit that includes multi-mode control circuits with one mode that assigns unit addresses to respective pump monitoring units and another mode that requests information from addressed monitoring units.
A method comprising:
- sensing a plurality of conditions relative to at least one pump and associated circuits;
- generating signals indicative of respective sensed conditions;
- receiving at least one wireless command signal, and
- responsive thereto, wirelessly transmitting indicia corresponding to sensed conditions.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a motor condition sensor;
- control software that acquires motor condition information from the sensor, then control software is responsive to a received identifier that matches a previously stored identifier to forward the acquired motor condition information at least in part wirelessly, to a displaced location.
