5 Operation
5.1 Overview of Main Operation Modes
The bearingless pump system BPS-4H can be driven in two main modes: “speed control” and “process (flow,
pressure) control”. Figure 3 illustrates the configuration of the system for speed control, where the speed can
be set by the user over various interfaces. If process parameters like flow or pressure have to be controlled
precisely, the system can be configured according to Figure 4 with an external pressure or flow-sensor.
