1. A method for monitoring an operating status of a pump, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring system parameters of the pump with a measuring device;
processing the system parameters in a local evaluation unit by calculating to lump at least three of said system parameters into one or more characteristics numbers;
transmitting from the local evaluation unit to a remote central evaluation unit said characteristic numbers calculated by said processing step in said local evaluation unit;
wherein the central evaluation unit, based on said characteristic numbers transmitted by said local evaluation unit, determines at least one of a current or future operating status of the pump.

Abstract
A method is provided for monitoring the operating status of one or more pumps, particularly gear pumps, whereby system parameters are determined by a corresponding measuring device. The system parameters are subsequently processed in a local evaluation unit into characteristic numbers. Finally at least some of the characteristic numbers determined in the local evaluation unit are transmitted from the pump and/or the local evaluation unit to the central evaluation unit. Based on the characteristic numbers, the operating status of the pump is determined and if necessary, an appropriate action is triggered.

11. A device for monitoring an operating status, comprising:
-
a pump to be monitored; a measuring device coupled to the pump to determine system parameters of the pump; at least one central evaluation unit remotely located from the pump; a local evaluation unit provided in a vicinity of the pump and coupled to the measuring device to receive the system parameters; and at least one data channel connecting said local evaluation unit with said at least one central evaluation unit; wherein said local evaluation unit comprises means for processing at least three of said system parameters into one or more characteristic numbers, said characteristic numbers being transmitted to said central evaluation unit; and wherein said central evaluation unit comprises means for determining at least one of a current or future operating status of the pump based on the characteristic numbers. - View Dependent Claims (12)
