A method for installing a machine monitoring device which includes at least one gateway, at least one machine operation data sensor unit, a transmission unit having a transmission antenna for radio-based transfer of the machine operation data from the sensor unit to the gateway, and at least one user terminal for communication with the gateway. The antenna position is variable relative to the sensor and/or transmission units. The method steps include installing the gateway; establishing a communication link between the transmission unit and the gateway, positioning the transmission unit and antenna at or near the machine, transferring data packets to determine at least one communication parameter influencing the communication transfer quality, generating a position change instruction for the transmission unit or antenna and/or an action recommendation on the basis of the communication parameter, and displaying the instruction and/or recommendation at a user terminal.

A displacement pump arrangement, method for operating the displacement pump arrangement and a control device for controlling the displacement pump arrangement provide rotational-speed-variable control of an expeller pump unit for feeding a fluid. The arrangement includes an expeller pump and a drive, the drive being composed of an electric drive motor and a frequency converter, and a control device. The control device controls a state value such as a final pressure of the expeller pump a setpoint value. The control device detects state values of a control variable are supplied by the drive, in particular relating to the position, rotational speed and torque of the drive motor, and adjusts the displacement pump output to reach the setpoint value without using sensors.

An apparatus and method for closed-loop-control of a fluid conveying system that include at least one pump, at least one consumer, at least one controller valve, and at least one armature as an actuator of the at least one control valve. Pressure and volume flow rate of the consumer are controlled independently of each other by a decoupling controller.

Decoupling of controlled variables in a fluid conveying system with dead time

In a method or system for controlling a process fluid stream within an industrial process plant, a pump is provided in series with a control valve having an associated positioner to control the fluid stream. A required fluid passage quantity for the process fluid stream is set by positioning the control valve with the positioner into a respective valve position and capturing an actual position of the valve. A physically sensible actual property value related to passage of the process fluid through the control valve is determined. The actual property value as well as the actual valve position are evaluated by an evaluation routine with respect to a predetermined optimization parameter specific to the valve with its associated positioner. If a deviation occurs from the optimization parameter, a pump drive value for the pump and control valve position drive value for the valve positioner are tuned to each other in such a way that the optimization parameter is approached.
