Abstract
A method can include receiving, at a control module, first pump characteristic data from a data source associated with a pump, sensing second pump characteristic data from a flow system using one or more sensors, comparing the first pump characteristic data to the second pump characteristic data sensed in the flow system, and determining a health of the pump based on the comparison of the first pump characteristic data to the second pump characteristic data.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions to cause a computerized device to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a control module, first pump characteristic data from a data source associated with a pump;
- sensing actual first pump characteristic data from a flow system using one or more sensors;
- comparing the first pump characteristic data to the second pump characteristic data;
- and
- determining a health of the pump based on the comparison of the first pump characteristic data to the second pump characteristic data.
A system, comprising:
- a control module for a flow system, the control module configured to perform a control module method, the control module method comprising:
- receiving first pump characteristic data from a data source associated with a pump;
- sensing second pump characteristic data from a flow system using one or more sensors;
- comparing the first pump characteristic data to the second pump characteristic data sensed in the flow system;
- and
- determining a health of the pump based on the comparison of the first pump characteristic data to the second pump characteristic data.
A pump, comprising:
- a pump housing containing one or more pump components;
- and
- a data source mounted on or in the pump housing, the data source comprising first pump characteristic data configured to be read from the data source to provide a control module with the first pump characteristic data.
