8.4 Function level monitoring
The central lubrication pump PICO has an integrated level monitoring by default. This can be evaluated by means of the
integratedcontrol unitPICO-troniX1.
If the pump reservoir is empty, the follower piston actuates the pin that presses onto a button. This one sends a signal to
thecontrol unitthat switches offthe pump.Thisavoids thatairis pumpedinto the system.
Fig.26:
When the reservoir is filled, the switch interrupts the signal and the
errormessage isreset automatically.
9. Integrated electronic control unit PICO-tronic
9.1 Control unit function
The integrated electronic control unit PICO-tronic helpsto control progressive lubrication systems,multi line systemsand
mixedsystems thatare supplied withlubricant byaPICO pump.
9.1.1 General
The integrated electronic control unit PICO-tronic operates lubrication cycle dependent. This means the cycle duration is
thelubrication duration(pump operation time).
Fig.27:
Cycleduration canbe defined time-dependentor pulse-dependent.
The lubrication duration can be defined time-dependent, pulse-dependent or dependent on the number of pump motor
revolutions.
Function:
Thefollowing functionscan be evaluatedwith the PICO-troniccontrol unit.
· Pressure monitoring in the line system of the central lubrication (system pressure monitoring) (not available at pulse
cyclecontrol andline rupture monitoring)
· Monitoring the min.level inthe pump reservoir
· Line monitoring of the central lubrication system (line rupture) (not available at pulse cycle control or system pressure
control)
