Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and controlling a pump includes defining processing targets, deriving a first actuator control signal Yc from the processing targets, and deriving actual operating parameters. Additionally, the actual operating parameters are compared to predefined system and pump limits to determine a second actuator control signal Y'c, the actual operating parameters are compared to predefined fluid limits to determine a third actuator control signal Y″c, the actual operating parameters are compared to predefined normal processing limits to determine a fourth actuator control signal Y′″c, and the actual operating parameters are compared to at least one predefined abnormal processing limit to determine a fifth actuator control signal Y″″c. The most conservative actuator control signal is then determined, and the pump is driven in accordance with the most conservative actuator control signal.
