The at least one memory and computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to obtain an optimal control pressure set point from the adaptive control curve with respect to an instant flow rate or a moving average flow rate as SPt=MA(Qt)/SAMAt, where the function MA is a moving average filter (MA), to obtain a desired pump speed through a PID control.

Abstract: An automatic self-driving pump system features a pump/motor/drive detector and an automatic self-driving and control design/setup module. In operation, the pump/motor/drive detector receives sensed signaling containing information about a pump/drive for operating in a hydronic pump system, e.g., stored in and sensed from a signature chip or barcode installed that can be scanned by a scanner, and provides corresponding database signaling containing information about parameters for providing automatic pump control design, setup and run to control the pump/drive for operating in the hydronic pump system, based upon the sensed signaling received. The automatic self-driving and control design/setup module receives the corresponding database signaling, and provides control signaling containing information for providing the automatic pump control design, setup and run to control the pump/drive for operating in the hydronic pump system, based upon the corresponding database signaling received.

Abstract: A pump controller features a signal processor configured to respond to signaling containing information about three corresponding discrete arrays with respect to a discrete motor speed for each system position at a motor speed derived from 3D discrete distribution surfaces of motor power, pump differential pressure and flow rate by respective numerical interpolations; and determine corresponding signaling containing information to control a pump, or pumps in a system of pumps, or a system of pumps based upon a corresponding pump differential pressure and flow rate at the motor speed for a corresponding power reading value determined using a numerical interpolation of the three corresponding discrete arrays, the signaling received. The signal processor is configured to provide the corresponding signaling as control signaling to control the pump, or the pumps in the system of pumps, or the system of pumps.
