Abstract
Aspects are provided for positive displacement pumps and methods and systems for controlling such pumps to provide alerts based on user configurable tubing usage limits. A pump may include a user interface, a memory storing processor executable instructions, and a processor coupled with the user interface and the memory and configured to execute the instructions to receive a configuration of a tubing usage limit via the user interface. The processor may be configured to operate the pump according to a program. The processor may be configured to measure a tubing usage during pump operation. The processor may be configured to generate an alert when the tubing usage reaches the tubing usage limit.
Claims21
A pump comprising:
- a user interface;
- a memory storing processor executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the user interface and the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive a configuration of a tubing usage limit via the user interface;
- operate the pump according to a program;
- measure a tubing usage during pump operation;
- and
- generate an alert when the tubing usage reaches the tubing usage limit.
A method of controlling a pump, comprising, by a pump controller:
- receiving a configuration of a tubing usage limit via a user interface;
- operating the pump according to a program;
- measuring a tubing usage during pump operation;
- and
- generating an alert when the tubing usage reaches the tubing usage limit.
A pump controller for controlling a pump, comprising:
- a memory storing computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive a configuration of a tubing usage limit via a user interface;
- operate the pump according to a program;
- measure a tubing usage during pump operation;
- and
- generate an alert when the tubing usage reaches the tubing usage limit.
