Benefits of technology
The present invention is about a controller for controlling a pump. The controller can interface with devices and sensors to form a system for controlling the pump. The controller can send commands to the pump based on user input or based on feedback from sensors. The system may also include one or more fluid level sensors, fuel level sensors, pump sensors, and other sensors. The controller can also connect to a remote user device for remotely accessing and operating the pump controller. The technical effects of the invention include improved control of pumps, better monitoring of pump status, and improved user experience.
Problems solved by technology
Conventional systems and methods of controlling fluid pumps are limited by pump controller devices which comprise basic “start-and-stop” technology—capable of solving only basic pumping system needs.
Conventional pump controllers are also typically very cumbersome, making it difficult for the average user to set up and operate.
Due to their limited capabilities, conventional controllers lack the ability to protect and properly maintain pump health.
Furthermore, conventional controllers are limited to manual operation—that is, a user must initiate every operation or action the controller makes.
Furthermore, conventional pump controllers are inefficient and can waste resources such as water and energy.
Conventional pumping systems and devices also have limited adaptability for future changes in technology due to outdated architecture and interfaces.

A system for controlling a pump can include a fluid level sensor, a fuel level sensor, one or more oil pressure sensors, a pump fluid sensor, and a pump controller. The pump controller can provide speed instructions to a pump having an engine control unit, an engine, and a volute. The pump controller can include a user interface that includes a display and may also include a transceiver that is operatively engaged to a remote user device through a computer network. A method of controlling a pump can include characterizing the operation of the pump, performing a safety check of the pump, determining a level of a fluid in a tank, and providing the speed instructions to the pump.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 636,579, filed Feb. 28, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention concerns a pump controller and fluid pumping systems. More particularly, some embodiments of the present invention concern a pump controller that can be coupled with a pump, pump fluid sensors, fluid level sensors, fuel sensors, and oil pressure sensors. Some embodiments of the present invention concern a pump controller for characterizing, operating, and exchanging information with connected devices which may use mathematical techniques, such as proportional-integral-derivative control. The present invention also concerns a pumping system for draining and filling fluid containers or reservoirs.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Conventional systems and methods of controlling fluid pumps are limited by pump...
