Grundfos goes Industrial Ethernet
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
In order to integrate its pumps into fieldbus systems, Grundfos utilizes several
fieldbus interfaces
The industry is increasingly focusing on new PLCs with integrated Industrial
Ethernet interfaces, such as PROFINET IO, Modbus TCP or BACnet/IP, for a cost
effective process automation. This allows continuous, automated processes, and
thus a uniformly good product quality and higher process reliability. Pumps used
here must be able to communicate in order to react accordingly to deviations
from the desired state of the process control system, and to other control
signals of the process.

In order to integrate its pumps in a fieldbus system, Grundfos has already for
years used several fieldbus interfaces. These are available in two versions: as
CIM (Communication Interface Module) - these add-on modules shall be directly
inserted into the pump - and as CIU (Communication Interface Unit) - an external
box with built-in 24-240 volt AC/DC power supply. For the Grundfos Smart Digital
Dosing pump DDA, Grundfos has developed a base plate E-box which shall directly
be mounted under the dosing pump.
Existing fieldbuses like Modbus RTU, PROFIBUS DP, LON and BACnet MS/TP are now
often replaced or supplemented by a real-time Industrial Ethernet communication
standard. In addition to the classic fieldbus protocols (for building
automation, remote management in water utility or industrial processes) Grundfos
therefore offers the CIM / CIU 500 interfaces which support the Industrial
Ethernet bus protocols such as PROFINET IO, Modbus TCP and BACnet/IP.
The CIM 500 interface supports important Industrial Ethernet protocols to offer
full onsite flexibility. Just turn a rotary switch to select between PROFINET
IO, Modbus TCP or BACnet/IP.
Especially in the context of new PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) or SCADA
systems with integrated PROFINET IO or Modbus TCP protocols the CIM500 interface
provides a wide range of benefits to the process operator:
· Direct communication with PLC, based on a standard Ethernet interface
· Optimal control of variable speed controlled Grundfos pumps
· Customer specific evaluation of warning or alarm information
PLC or SCADA system
· Monitoring of energy consumption, operation hours or amount of start/ stop of
the pumps
· Additional sensor values of the pumps are monitored
· Modular design; can also be retrofitted to older systems
· Only one module for different Ethernet based fieldbus systems.
With each CIM/CIU data communication interface Grundfos supplies a DVD
containing all the necessary information such as functional profiles, user
manuals and support files to enable an easy integration into the PLC/SCADA
system by the system integrator.
Grundfos CIM/CIU 500 Ethernet interfaces allow the coupling of a wide range of
Grundfos pumps or controllers on the real-time Industrial Ethernet protocols -
another component of the Grundfos iSolution concept. This holistic system
approach for pump systems merge all components like pump hydraulic, speed
controlled drive, sensors, controller and communication interfaces into an
intelligent combined system.
