simplex The Simplex software adds ideal features to the VSD for single pump control. multi pump Multipump is the best choice when a pumping system needs to be integrated with a cost-effective solution. It enables one single VSD to control up to 5 pumps via DOL, soft-starter or other starting methods. multiplex Multiplex software is the most complete solution to accurately control flow and pressure with high reliability. The VSDs control, monitor and manage the entire system on their own. There is no need for additional PLC, HMI or any external devices thus installation costs can be optimized.

Energy Savings PID controller of WEG VSDs helps the pump to achieve the best performance. Even with a minimum speed reduction of 20%, almost unnoticed in the application, the power consumption is cut almost in half. Pipe Charging Mode Pipe charging function allows for initial filling and lubrication as it runs for a timeframe at a preconfigured slow speed. Also, as it achieves a soft pipe filling, water hammer is avoided. Sleep and Wake-Up Modes / Sleep Boost Sleep mode allows the pump to save energy and preserve the motor health when demand / flow is below the required for long periods,...

Broken Pipe or Leakage Detection Pump Genius diagnoses when a pump is consuming more power than it should. Through load and speed information, the drive automatically monitors and warns if a pipe leaks. Also, maximum system pressure can be configured to trigger when clogged pipe conditions take place. Pump Cavitation Monitoring When a pump cavitation condition (e.g. low level of fluid) is detected, the drive reduces the pressure in the pipeline to avoid mechanical breaks and increases the impeller lifetime. Fixed or Floating Control The user is able to select if the pumps will be started...

Programmable Schedules Up to 12 programmable setpoints with time schedule can be setup for controlling the water supply. Jockey Pump Under low demand, only the smaller pump is enabled. As the water consumption increases, the larger pump is activated and jockey pump is deactivated. Pump Genius Deragging The drive is able to perform an automatic clean of the impeller every time the pump is started, whenever a clogging is detected or on user demand increasing pump lifetime.

Master/Slave Configuration Master/slave modes enable total management of the system. When conditions like broken sensor wire or communication wire is detected, another VSD will be automatically be nominated as master, taking the system management reestablished to keep regular conditions. Force Rotation Force rotation makes the last pump in the system to be shut off when rotation is at certain low speed but it is not yet the sleep level. With old fashion logic the last pump would run indefinitely. Pump Genius

WEG in Desalination Plant in Algeria Due to estimates, which shows that in the next 30 years the amount of water available per person in the north of Africa will be reduced to 80%, the Algerian government is investing on seawater desalination. This includes the construction of three large desalination plants with production capacity of 400 cubic meters of water per day which will greatly benefit a population of over 2 million. Two units have already been concluded and the third is now being installed. The Tlemcen-Honaine plant, located near the city of Oran, close to the border with Morocco...
