Publication number: 20240061386Abstract: A system for monitoring and controlling aquatic equipment is provided. The system includes a variable speed pump, a controller configured to determine operational parameters of the variable speed pump and to control operation of the variable speed pump, and a wireless communication system operatively coupled to the controller. The wireless communication subsystem is configured to transmit one or more of the operational parameters of the variable speed pump to a device over a WiFi wireless and/or a Bluetooth wireless connection. The wireless communication subsystem is configured to receive one or more control parameters from the device, and the controller controls operation of the variable speed pump based on the one or more control parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Potucek, Gregory Fournier, James Murdock, Robert Heon, David Blaine, Craig Horrocks, Kenneth White, JR., Murat Dymov, Michael Nilsson, Thomas-Eric Béliveau, Deyin Xu, Patrick Mainville, Qiwei Huang, Linnette Rivera

Patent number: 9285790Abstract: A method of integrating a relay bank for use with a pool or spa control system includes, establishing an electrical connection between the relay bank and a control panel, discovering the relay bank by a control panel processor, and assigning the relay bank a network address upon discovery thereof. A method of integrating a smart component for use with a pool or spa control system includes, establishing an electrical connection between the smart component and a control panel, discovering the smart component by a control panel processor, and assigning the smart component a network address upon discovery thereof. A method of integrating an expansion panel for use with a pool or spa control system includes, establishing an electrical connection between the expansion panel and a control panel, discovering the expansion panel by a control panel processor, and configuring the expansion panel upon discovery thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: David Pruchniewski, Kevin Potucek, Gregory Fournier, James Murdock, David Blaine, Carl L.

Patent number: 9031702Abstract: A pool or spa control system includes, a main control panel housing a motherboard, relay bank, and local terminal. The motherboard includes a processor in two-way communication with a relay bank socket via an internal bus. The relay bank is connectable to the relay bank socket and includes a processor, memory, plurality of relays, connector, and an internal bus establishing two-way communication between the relay bank processor and the motherboard processor when the relay bank is connected to the relay bank socket. The local terminal includes a control processor, user interface, and memory, and is in two-way communication with the motherboard processor for allowing user control of the system. The control processor automatically discovers and assigns the relay bank a network address upon connection of the relay bank to the motherboard relay bank socket, and the relay bank returns relay bank parameter information, which the local terminal stores in memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: David Pruchniewski, Kevin Potucek, Gregory Fournier, James Murdock, David Blaine, Carl L.
