NOVALINK Setup Oscillating displacement pump Service expert Customer switch room The NOVALINK-CSM 2 system consists of a pressure transmitter per pump head, which measures the pressure in the respective hydraulic compartment of the pump head, a rotation angle recording facility on the drive unit, the NOVALINK-CSM 2 computer and a monitoring PC on which the evaluation software runs. Signals from any other sensors at the pump (filling level sensor, temperature sensor etc.) The pump status can also be determined via a higher-order controller (e.g. a switch room). pV-Diagram of Hydraulic chamber

The NOVALINK-CSM 2 system measures the pV diagrams of the pump heads for each rotation of the pump crankshaft (Fig. 2) in real time, and uses them to immediately calculate characteristic values such as the current efficiency levels, the average pressures and flow rates etc. At the same time, these values The NOVALINK-CSM 2 system then checks whether the measured data lies within predefined limits. Depending on this, the status (“good”, “satisfactory” or “poor”) of the pump is determined and signalled as a traffic light (“yellow”, “amber” or “red”). (i.e. appropriate for the current operating...
