Touch screen control for KMT high pressure water pumps

This development allows users to control and monitor all the pump's operating parameters by simply pressing the respective touch screen buttons on the display. A further benefit is the ability to connect it via an interface to the Internet for remote diagnostics and monitoring of performance. KMT pumps are controlled by a PLC system that provides comprehensive functions for the identification and elimination of faults. With the new touch screen interface, easy setting and monitoring of all working parameters can be carried out resulting in closer control of pump operations and processes. The screen, for example, provides a scale display of the high pressure pump utilisation, while to assist in preventative maintenance programmes, an indication of the operating hours of key components such as packing seals is also displayed. For larger installations, the interface assists in simplifying integration into synchronised circuits of high-pressure pumps operated within a networked pump system. Via the Internet, and with permission from customers, KMT Waterjet Systems can perform any remote monitoring requested and generate daily diagnostic email reports for both the OEM and the end user.
