Pumping equipment and management system

Abstract

To reduce labor of operation for confirming a state of each of pumps.SOLUTION: A pump device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of pumps, and performs operation for each of the pumps. The pump device includes a determination unit and a display control unit. The determination unit determines, for each of the pumps, whether or not the operation is in a normal state. The display control unit displays, for each of the pumps, operation information on a display unit when the operation is in the normal state, and displays state information related to an abnormal state on the display unit when the operation is not in the normal state. The display unit displays the operation information and the state information for each of the pumps in a list.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Claims

1. A pumping system comprising multiple pumps, each of which is operated independently, A determination unit for each of the aforementioned pumps determines whether or not the operation is in a normal state, For each of the pumps, there is a display control unit which displays operating information on the display unit when the pump is in a normal state, and displays status information related to an abnormal state on the display unit when the pump is not in a normal state, Equipped with, The display unit displays the operating information and status information for each pump in a list. The display control unit, in response to the operator's operation, cyclically displays on the display unit a screen that lists the operation information and status information for each pump, a screen that individually displays the operation information or status information for each pump, and a screen that displays the operation mode of the pumps whose operation information is displayed in a list or individually. The aforementioned operating mode, when the plurality of pumps consist of the pump in the normal state and the pump in the abnormal state, represents a fault substitute operation for the pump in the normal state. The aforementioned fault replacement operation is the operation of the pump in a normal state in place of the pump that has failed and is in the abnormal state. The pump device wherein the display unit displays the operating mode on a screen that displays the operating mode, which is a screen that appears after the list display screen and after the transitions between the individual display screens have been repeated.

2. For each of the pumps, a first lamp is provided that is turned off when the pump is in the normal state and turned on when it is not. Furthermore, The status information is character information representing the type of abnormal state for the illuminated first lamp. The pump device according to claim 1.

3. A setting unit is provided for each pump that, in response to the operator's actions, allows or prohibits the operation of the pump. Each of the aforementioned pumps is provided with a second lamp that lights up when the operation is permitted and turns off when the operation is prohibited, Furthermore, The display control unit causes the display unit to display operation prohibition information in place of the operation information or status information for each pump whose operation is prohibited. The pump device according to claim 2.

4. For each of the pumps, a communication unit transmits to the management device any of the following: operation information, status information, or operation prohibition information. The pump device according to claim 3, further comprising the above.

5. The pump device according to claim 4, wherein the communication unit transmits error information to the management device if the display of the operation prohibition information continues for a certain period of time or longer.

6. The aforementioned operating mode is defined as the operation mode when the plurality of pumps consist of pumps in the normal state and eco-operation is performed based on a forced operating time to reduce the water temperature inside the pumps, and the eco-operation is represented as follows: The pump device according to claim 1.

7. The aforementioned operating mode is defined as the smoothing operation when the plurality of pumps consist of pumps in the normal state and smoothing operation is performed for each pump to smooth the cumulative operating time of each pump. The pump device according to claim 1.

8. A management system comprising a pump device according to claim 4 and a management device capable of communicating with the pump device, The aforementioned control device is Each of the pumps includes a receiving unit that receives from the pump device any of the transmitted operating information, status information, and operation prohibition information, Each pump is provided with a log storage unit that stores the received operating information, status information, and operating prohibition information, along with the reception time, as log data. A log determination unit determines whether the display of the driving prohibition information has continued for a certain period of time or longer, based on the log data. If the above continues, the output unit outputs error information indicating the pump device for which the display of the operation prohibition information continues, A management system equipped with [specific features / features].

9. The control device is The pump device and a notification destination storage unit that stores notification destination information relating to the operator of the pump device, A notification unit reads notification destination information associated with the pump device indicated by the error information from the notification destination storage unit, and notifies a communication terminal of information related to the error information based on said notification destination information. The management system according to claim 8, further comprising the above.

10. A management system comprising a pump device according to claim 5 and a management device capable of communicating with the pump device, The aforementioned control device is A notification destination storage unit that stores the pump device and notification destination information relating to the operator of the pump device in association, Upon receiving the aforementioned error information from the pump device, the notification unit reads the notification destination information associated with the pump device that transmitted the error information from the notification destination storage unit, and based on the notification destination information, notifies the communication terminal of the information related to the error information. A management system equipped with [specific features / features].
