Abstract
A pump assembly with a pump unit comprising an impeller for pumping fluid, an electric motor for driving the impeller, a control module for controlling the speed of the electric motor in a control mode, and an interface for receiving a pulse width modulated (PWM) control signal with a duty cycle indicative of the speed of the electric motor. The control module is configured to interpret the PWM control signal at start-up of the electric motor per default in a configuration mode as a configuration bit sequence based on the duty cycle of the PWM control signal during a pre-determined configuration window.
