  • Publication number: 20140044561
    Abstract: A controller for controlling a frequency inverter of a positive displacement pump motor of a positive displacement pump. The controller comprises a control unit configured to produce a control variable (Ys) for a frequency inverter of a positive displacement pump motor depending on a reference variable (W) and a first actual operating parameter (X). According to the invention, the control unit is associated with logical means having a first threshold value defining means that are designed to determine at least one first threshold value (YGrenzmax, YGrenzmin) depending on the first actual operating parameter (X) and/or at least one further actual operating parameter (XH, YH, YHH) that could lead to a failure state of the positive displacement pump when exceeded or fallen short of.
