Fig. 1 Control MPC

Grundfos Control MPC is used for control and monitoring of

booster systems and circulation systems.
Control MPC consists of a control cabinet with a built-in controller,
the CU 351. The control cabinet contains all necessary
components such as main switch, contactors, IO modules and
cabling. In systems with external frequency converters, the
frequency converters can be installed in the cabinet.
The control cabinet is for wall or floor mounting.

11.5.3 Control mode (2.1.2) Open loop
In open-loop control, the pumps run at a fixed speed.
The pump speed is calculated from the performance set by the
user (0-100 %). The pump performance in percentage is
proportional with the flow rate.
Open-loop control is usually used when the system is controlled
by an external controller which controls the performance via an
external signal. The external controller could for instance be a
building management system connected to the Control MPC.
In such cases the Control MPC is like an actuator.
See figs 20 and 21.

TM03 2232 3905

Fig. 17 Control mode

Description
There are two control modes, namely closed and open loop.
Examples: Fig. 20 Booster system with external controller (open loop)
Closed loop
The typical control mode is closed loop where the built-in Flow rate [m3/h]
PI controller ensures that the system reaches and maintains the
selected setpoint. The performance is based on the setpoint set
for closed loop. See figs 18 and 19.

11.7.18 Pump stop attempt (4.2.7) 11.7.19 Pump start and stop speed (4.2.8)
Description
The function controls the starting and stopping of pumps.
There are two options:
1. Use calculated speed
This function ensures that the optimum number of pumps is
always running at a desired duty point, in terms of energy
consumption. The CU 351 calculates the required number of
pumps and their speed. This requires that the differential
pressure of the pump is measured by a differential pressure
sensor or separate pressure sensors on the inlet and
discharge side.
When calculated speed has been selected, the CU 351
ignores the percentages set.

TM03 8964 4807

2. Use fixed speed
The pumps are started and stopped at speeds set by the user.

1. Use calculated speed

Fig. 53 Pump stop attempt

Description
The function makes it possible to set automatic stop attempts of a
pump when several pumps are running. It ensures that the
optimum number of pumps is always running, in terms of energy
consumption. See 11.7.19 Pump start and stop speed (4.2.8). At
the same time, the purpose is to avoid disturbances in connection
with automatic stop of pumps.
Stop attempts can either take place with a fixed interval set under
Interval between stop attempts or by self learning. If self
learning is selected, the interval between stop attempts will be
increased if repeated attempts to stop the pump fail.

Fig. 61 On/off operation

The flow rate is estimated by the CU 351 when the pump is in the
stop period. As long as the flow rate is lower than Qmin, the pump
will run on/off. If the flow rate is increased to above Qmin, the
pump returns to normal operation, Hset. Hset is equal to the
current setpoint. See section 11.4.4 Setpoint (1.2.2).
Detection of low flow rate
Low flow rate can be detected by means of
• direct flow measurement with a flowmeter or flow switch
TM03 2355 4607

• estimation of flow rate by measurement of pressure and

speed.
If the booster system is not connected to a flowmeter or flow
switch, the stop function will use the estimating function.
If the detection of low flow rate is based on flow estimation, a
Fig. 59 Stop function diaphragm tank of a certain size and with a certain precharge
pressure is required.
Description
This function is typically used in constant pressure applications
and makes it possible to stop the last pump if there is no or a very
small consumption. The purpose is to
• save energy
• prevent heating of shaft seal faces due to increased
mechanical friction as a result of reduced cooling by the
pumped liquid
• prevent heating of the pumped liquid.
The description of the stop function applies to all booster systems
with variable-speed pumps. Control MPC-S will have on/off
control of all pumps as described in section 8. Overview of control
variants.

Communication is carried out according to the Grundfos bus
protocol, GENIbus, and enables connection to a building
management system or another external control system.
Operating parameters, such as setpoint and operating mode, can
be set via the bus signal. Furthermore, status about important
parameters, such as current value and input power, and fault
indications can be read from the CU 351.

11.8.2 GENIbus
By installing a GENIbus module in the CU 351 it is possible to
connect the system to an external network. The connection can
take place via a GENIbus-based network or a network based on
another fieldbus protocol via a gateway. See examples in fig. 107.
For further information, contact Grundfos.
The gateway may be a Grundfos CIU communication interface or
a third-party gateway. For further information on the CIU, see
