Altivar® 58 TRX AC Drives
I/O Extension Cards
Pump Switching Option Card (VW3A58210U)
The pump switching option card can control a complete pumping installation using a single ATV58 TRX drive controller. It provides:
•Constant pressure in the system whatever the flow rate
•A simple method for installing and diagnosing the installation using the ATV58 TRX drive controller
The pump switching option card can operate up to four fixed speed pumps and one variable speed pump (the variable speed pump cannot provide the full flow range required on its own). A PI regulator is used for drive control and a pressure sensor is required to provide system feedback.
To prevent uneven wear of the pumps, the card allows pump switching according to operating time. The variable speed pump can be included in the swapping procedure.
Application Example (with 3 auxiliary pumps and one variable pump)
In this example, the auxiliary pumps are switched on and off according to the flow rate required by the installation. The variable pump is controlled to compensate for any flow rate variations.

The ATV58 drive controller controls the pumps via logic outputs DO1, DO2,
DO3 etc., depending on the operating mode programmed.
The logic inputs indicate the state of the pumps.
•If LI = 1, the pump is ready to start and used in the automatic sequencing.
•If LI = 0, the pump is not ready and will not be used in the automatic sequencing.
Internal elapsed timers are used to keep track of the accumulated operating time of each pump.
