A new pump control software module for drives has been launched by ABB. Featuring six pump control functions, the new Intelligent Pump Control (IPC) software eliminates the need for an external PLC and can help to save energy, reduce downtime and prevent pump jamming and pipeline blocking.
The IPC is a software add-on for ABB industrial drives, ranging from 0.55- 5,600 kW. It contains all the common functions required by pump users, including multi-pump control, level control, flow monitoring, sleep boost (an energy saving feature), and pump priority control.
