5. Overview of control variants
The examples below are based on booster systems.
Systems with speed-controlled
pumps
Control MPC-E/-EC
E: Control MPC with three E-pumps.
EC: Control MPC with three pumps,
each connected to a Grundfos CUE
frequency converter.

• Control MPC-E/EC maintains a constant
pressure through continuous adjustment
of the speed of the pumps.
• The system performance is adjusted to
the demand through cutting in/out the
required number of pumps and through
parallel control of the pumps in operation.
• Pump changeover is automatic and
depends on load, operating hours and
fault.
• All pumps in operation run at the same
speed.
• The number of pumps in operation also
depends on the energy consumption of
the pumps. If only one pump is required,
two pumps will be running at a lower
speed if this results in a lower energy
consumption. This requires that the
differential pressure of the pump is
measured and pump curve data are
available for the controller.
Systems with pumps connected to
one CUE frequency converter
Control MPC-F
Control MPC with three pumps
connected to one Grundfos CUE
frequency converter. The speed-
controlled operation alternates between
the pumps.

• Control MPC-F maintains a constant
pressure through continuous adjustment
of the speed of the pump connected to
the Grundfos CUE frequency converter.
The speed-controlled operation alternates
between the pumps.
• A pump connected to the Grundfos CUE
frequency converter always starts first. If
the pressure cannot be maintained by the
pump, one or two mains-operated pumps
will be cut in.
• Pump changeover is automatic and
depends on load, operating hours and
fault.

• Control MPC-S maintains an almost
constant pressure through cutting in/out
the required number of pumps.
• The operating range of the pumps will lie
