BrowsePath Description Attribute
AccelerationThis element serves a feedback that the pump rotation accelerates.
CleanValveOpenThis element serves a feedback about the open state of the cleaning valve.
DecelerationThis element serves a feedback that the pump rotation decelerates.
FlushValveOpenThis element serves a feedback about the open state of the flush valve.
GasDilValveOpenThis element serves a feedback about the open state of the gas dilution valve.
InletValveOpenThis element serves a feedback about the open state of the inlet valve.
NoRotationThis element serves a feedback that the pump stands still.
OutletValveOpenThis element serves a feedback about the open state of the outlet valve.
ProcessIsActiveThis element serves a feedback that the process is active.
PumpActivationThis element serves a feedback about the activation state of the pump. The activation state takes into account that control mechanisms are active. Never the less the pump is not necessarily running
PumpDirectionThis element serves a feedback of the pumps direction of rotation.
PumpOperationThis element serves a feedback about the operation state of the pump. In the operation state the pump rotor is rotating.
PumpPowerMaxThis element serves a feedback of pump operating at maximum power.
PumpSpeedMaxThis element serves a feedback of pump operating at maximum speed.
PumpSpeedMinThis element serves a feedback that the pump operates at minimum speed.
PurgeValveOpenThis element serves a feedback about the open state of the purge valve.
RatedSpeedThis element serves a feedback that the pump rotation is at rated speed.
StandByThis element serves a feedback about the process standby of the pump. In the stand by state the pump is ready for operation.
StandBySpeedThis element serves a feedback that the pump rotation is at standby speed.
TargetSpeedThis element serves a feedback that the pump is at target speed.
VentValveOpenThis element serves a feedback about the open state of the vent valve.
