Apparatus for controlling and monitoring a lubricating system

An apparatus for controlling and monitoring a lubrication of a system having analog sensors detecting lubrication events and switches indicating a status of a lubricating system having vents, an oil level, a pressure and a cycle, said apparatus comprising:

• means, responsive to the analog sensors and switches, for providing a plurality of digital sensing signals representative of lubrication events and of the status of the lubricating system;
• means, including a nonvolatile memory, for storing instructions;
• means, responsive to an operator, for selecting operating parameters of the lubricating system;
• means for inputting the selected parameters into the nonvolatile memory of the storing means;
• means for processing the digital sensing signals by comparing the digital sensing signals to the selected parameters stored in the storing means;
• means, responsive to both the providing means and the processing means, for initiating lubrication events by the lubricating system;
• and
• means, responsive to the processing means, for indicating the status of the lubricating system, the processing means operating in a review mode as selected by the operator via said inputting means in which selected parameters are displayed by the indicating means.
