Standard PID control may, depending on system demand, allow a pump to operate at undesirably low speeds for prolonged periods of time, which can cause mechanical issues with certain pump types. In general, it is a wasteful use of energy, since most pumps do not generate significant flow or head at low speeds. A means is needed to stop the pump when no pumping is actually taking place. The term “sleep mode” is used to describe such a means. The implementation requires no additional hardware beyond what is required for standard PID operation.
The simple set-up and wiring is described in an Application Note (AN080717-1) which is available to view or download in the Technical Support Library area of Hitachi America’s web site.
