Control units and software for use in lubrication systems
Control units in total loss lubrication systems trigger the lubrication routine, regulate the duration of the idle time between two lubrication routines and evaluate system parameters. If faults occur, one or more output signals, or indicators are available to help the machine's operator take the appropriate action in regard to the machine or system. This protects the machine or system against severe damage.
In oil circulation systems, the machine's control unit usually assumes control of the centralized lubrication system. Devices are available to analyze the data from the system sensors. In normal or faulty operation of the centralized lubrication system, these devices make the output signals available for further analysis.
Remote control and monitoring software packages are available for both types of lubrication systems.
