Problems solved by technology

A host control system capable of accepting digital inputs without the use of external hardware typically cannot accept both digital and serial communication inputs at the same time
In addition, a host control system capable of receiving digital inputs requires at least eight digital input pins, which results in large and expensive connection

Embodiment Construction

[0012] Before any embodiments of the invention are described in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in application to the details of construction and the arrangement of parts noted in the following description or shown in the following drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways.

[0013] figure 1 A pool system or spa system 100 is shown. The pool system 100 includes a container 105 , a pump system 110 and a controller 115 . In some constructions, container 105 is a hollow container, such as a basin, sink, or bucket that holds fluid. In some constructions, the fluid is chlorinated water.

[0014] The pump system 110 includes a motor 120 , a fluid pump 125 and a fluid agitator 130 . In one construction, motor 120 is a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. As is generally known, a BLDC motor includes a stator, a permanent magnet rotor and an electronic commutator. The electronic...

Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for controlling pump systems using integrated digital inputs. The pump system includes a motor, a fluid pump powered by the motor, a user interface, and a controller. The controller includes a user interface input electrically coupled to the user interface, a serial communication input, a digital input having a plurality of digital input pins sharing a common ground pin, a processor, and a computer readable memory. The computer readable memory stores instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the controller to simultaneously receive operating signals from the serial communication input and a digital input, and cause the controller to One of the operating signal from the communication input and the operating signal from said digital input controls the motor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to control applications for systems such as pool systems. More specifically, some embodiments of the invention relate to systems for controlling the operation of pump systems in pool systems. Background technique [0002] Pool systems typically include a master control system for controlling the pump motor. The master control system is operable to receive inputs (eg, digital inputs, serial communication inputs, etc.) from various external control systems (eg, automation systems, solar systems, etc.). Typically, the main control system needs to have external hardware to receive digital inputs from the external control system. A host control system capable of accepting digital inputs without the use of external hardware typically cannot accept both digital inputs and serial communication inputs at the same time. Furthermore, a host control system capable of receiving digital inputs requires at least eight digital input pi...
