Patent attributes
A system and method that provides an electronic controller module (ECM) that is bi-directionally communicable with a system monitor via a network to control and test pump components. Communication between the ECM and the system monitor may include receiving an operate command, receiving a report command, transmitting status, testing the pump components, monitoring sensors, and otherwise controlling the ECM via the system monitor. The ECM may communicate via the Internet, which may be facilitated by a router. The system monitor may provide advanced analytics, monitoring, maintenance, and reporting. The pump components may include one or more primary pumps and a backup pump, which may be battery operated. The sensor may include a float and sensor for a motor of the pump. The motor may be located in a sump. The ECM may perform timed tests.
