The data acquisition module is connected to the data analysis module via wired communication using the Modbus TCP protocol. Given that the pump room where the water supply pump 110 is located may be tens of meters underground, this connection method ensures high stability of data transmission and aggregation, unaffected by network conditions. The data analysis module monitors and calculates all collected real-time data. Through pre-set fault warning and fault cause judgment logic for the water supply pump 110, it uses intelligent algorithms to perform status monitoring, fault diagnosis, and cause analysis of the water supply pump 110. Based on the cause analysis, it provides predictive maintenance solutions, which is beneficial for operation and maintenance personnel to carry out targeted maintenance work. This enables the prediction of the deterioration trend of water supply pump 110 before a functional failure occurs, the diagnosis of the cause of potential failures, and the provision of corresponding predictive maintenance solutions. Through predictive maintenance, unplanned downtime due to failures is avoided, thus ensuring water supply safety.

[0081] In summary, please refer to Figures 1-3 The water supply pump status monitoring device 100 aims to provide early warning and predictive maintenance solutions before the water supply pump 110 malfunctions. It employs sensor modules capable of monitoring key operating parameters and status monitoring parameters of the water supply pump 110, achieving accurate perception of these signals and providing a solid data foundation for fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance of the water supply pump 110. Furthermore, based on the operating environment and operating conditions of the water supply pump 110, the communication method from the sensor module to the data acquisition module and then to the data transmission module ensures effective data transmission even in harsh environments.
