Advancing DriveSure

Watson-Marlow panel mount pumps are available with a range of motors, including stepper and brushless DC motors for integrated control.

Watson-Marlow DriveSure panel mount pumps integrate our latest generation control technology and PC software (WM Connect) to deliver powerful performance. DriveSure is fully tested and certified, ensuring reliability in a range of applications.

As a complete panel mount solution, DriveSure helps OEMs to reduce time-to-market, and achieve competitive gain by simplifying each stage of the development process.

Designed for peristaltic motion

DriveSure features our next generation digital, closed-loop control technology which delivers enhanced speed control for accurate flow rates, coupled with cool and quiet performance.

• High speed accuracy and stability across the range is achieved by tuning specifically for peristaltic pump applications
• Cool running is achieved by continuously adjusting motor phase current in response to the torque requirement, avoiding excess current and therefore heat
• If the load increases unexpectedly due to changes in the application, DriveSure can manage this in a controlled and safe manner through it’s closed-loop control

Seamless Industrial Ethernet integration

DriveSure now supports Industrial Ethernet protocols as well as traditional analogue control. This simplifies integration into advanced distributed control systems and benefits end-users by improving process control, reducing operating costs and minimising downtime.

This capability enables seamless integration of vital fluid delivery and offers:

• Smart integration: for equipment designers, eliminating the need for additional components and connections
• Improved accuracy: for precise control of the pump resulting in more accurate flow rates
• Remote monitoring: providing operators with greater network control

In addition, EMC certification and user-friendly, IP66 capable mounting plates make DriveSure attractive to OEMs, designers, engineers and installers.

Integrated cover-open sensor, analogue signal scaling, prime switch inputs and fault detection further enhances the range.

• Cool, quiet and compact design exceeds the demands of laboratories, clean rooms and process environments
• Certify your cabinet to IP66 with sealed mounting plates
• Reduces the need for additional cooling, so suitable for use in enclosed cabinets
• Download WM Connect PC software to evaluate and optimise via USB connection
• Single-source supplier of a tested and certified OEM component provides greater supply chain confidence
• Available with 100, 300, 400RXMD and 500 series pumpheads.
