The Grundfos Soft PLC communication interface (CIM 550 P Ethernet) card solution lets you add a programmable layer to your MLE-powered pump.
Precision control of all connected devices
Now, you can program your E-pump for the specific requirements for the pump installation, removing the need for a PLC. The solution is based on proprietary and patented Grundfos technology and provides the opportunity to create your own logic functions and utilize all available MLE inputs and outputs as required. This lets you improve even further the substantial energy savings, lower carbon emissions and pump reliability benefits of our intelligent E-pumps with the MLE motor. Furthermore, the overall CAPEX costs for the system are lowered as well.
