Abstract
The invention relates to a pump system comprising at least one pump unit, a control unit for controlling the pump unit and at least one sensor, wherein the sensor is connected to a data detection module which is spatially separate from the control unit and detects the output signals of the sensor, the data detection module comprises an output interface, at which it provides the detected sensor signals and/or data derived therefrom, and the control unit is provided with an input interface for the acquisition of signals or data from the output interface.
Claims10
A pump system comprising at least one pump unit (46, 76) which circulates fluid, at least one control unit (101) for controlling the at least one pump unit (46, 76), the at least one control unit being integrated into one of the at least one pump units (46, 76) and at least one sensor (94, 96, 98) spatially separate from each of the at least one pump units (46, 76), wherein the at least one sensor (94, 96, 98) is connected only to a data detection module (100) that is spatially separate from each of the at least one pump units (46, 76), which detects output signals of the at least one sensor (94, 96, 98), the data detection module (100) comprising an output interface (102) to transfer the detected sensor signals or data derived therefrom to the at least one control unit, and each of the at least one control units (101) is provided with an input interface (104) for the acquisition of signals or data from the output interface (102).
