Problem / solution guide
Remote Pump Runtime Monitoring
Monitor pump run hours, fault contacts, pressure, flow and power data from remote pump stations.
Hardware in this guide
Representative product-family images. The exact model, interfaces and enclosure are confirmed in the written quotation.
Need hardware recommendations for this problem?
Send the measured signals, alarm rules, site power and communication constraints. We will return a hardware configuration for quotation.
Problem to solve
Pump runtime is often logged manually, making it hard to spot abnormal cycling, hidden faults or maintenance timing across multiple stations.
Measurements that matter
- Run/stop state
- Fault contacts
- Runtime hours
- Pressure, flow or energy data
Suggested hardware configuration
- Digital input module or RTU
- RS485 meter input when available
- 4G LTE gateway
- MQTT or Modbus TCP handoff
Typical Hardware Architecture
Final system design, software integration, PLC/SCADA programming and site installation are handled by the customer or their system integrator.

FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Remote Pump Runtime Monitoring?
Please provide pump count and signal list, control cabinet layout, meter or vfd protocol, reporting interval and alarm priority. These inputs determine the sensor, gateway, power and integration path.
Is this a software-only service?
No. SunGene supplies sensors, gateways, field connectivity hardware and documented data-handoff interfaces for the buyer or integrator. Software-platform configuration and operation are outside the standard hardware scope.
Can SunGene support custom configuration if needed?
Yes, after the hardware configuration, certificates, sample quantity and documentation scope are clear.
Which technologies are usually considered?
The typical shortlist includes Digital IO, RS485, Modbus, 4G LTE, MQTT. Final selection depends on site constraints and target country requirements.
