Real Time System Monitoring
Operators can monitor flow, pressure, motor load, and pump performance from a centralized interface.
Factory Integrated Control Systems
All drives, panels, sensors, and automation systems are tested together before leaving the factory, reducing startup issues and installation delays.
Monitoring & Smart Pump System Insights
Advanced control systems provide operators with real time visibility into pump performance, system health, and operational efficiency.
This level of insight helps operators prevent failures, detect system inefficiencies, and maintain consistent system performance.
Diagnostics and Alerts
Built in alarms and diagnostics quickly identify issues such as abnormal vibration, pressure fluctuations, or pump faults.
Designed for Reliability & Serviceability
Panels are designed for long term performance with clear layouts, labeled wiring, and service friendly components that simplify troubleshooting and maintenance.
Integrated Controls for RhinoStak™ Pump Packages
RhinoStak™ modular pump systems are designed as fully integrated pumping solutions. Controls are not added as an afterthought but engineered as a core part of the system.
By integrating controls directly into the pump package, Rhino Pumps delivers systems that are easier to install, simpler to operate, and more reliable over the long term.
Pre integrated control systems eliminate the need for complex field wiring and coordination between multiple contractors.

Pump Control Panel FAQs
What is a pump control panel?
A pump control panel manages pump operation, monitors system conditions, and protects equipment from damage. It typically includes motor starters or variable frequency drives, automation controls, sensors, and safety devices that allow pumps to start, stop, and adjust performance based on system demand.
What is included in a pump control panel?
A pump control panel typically includes motor starters or variable frequency drives, programmable logic controllers, monitoring sensors, circuit protection, and operator interfaces. These components work together to control pump operation, monitor system conditions, and protect equipment from overload, pressure fluctuations, or abnormal operating conditions.
What does a VFD do in a pump system?
A variable frequency drive adjusts the speed of a pump motor to match system demand. Instead of running at full speed continuously, the pump can operate at the most efficient speed for the required flow or pressure. This reduces energy consumption, minimizes mechanical wear, and improves overall system performance.
How do pump control systems improve energy efficiency?
Pump control systems improve efficiency by automatically adjusting pump operation based on system demand. By using automation and variable frequency drives, pumps only run when needed and at the appropriate speed, which reduces energy use, limits unnecessary cycling, and extends equipment life.
What industries use pump control panels?
Pump control panels are used in municipal water and wastewater systems, irrigation and agriculture, industrial process water systems, commercial buildings, and large infrastructure projects. Any system that relies on pumps to move water or fluids can benefit from automated pump control systems.Municipal water systems, irrigation systems, industrial facilities, and commercial developments commonly use pump control systems.
What is pump sequencing?
Pump sequencing is a control strategy that coordinates multiple pumps to operate together efficiently. Control systems automatically determine which pumps should run based on system demand, balancing run time between pumps while maintaining consistent flow or pressure.
How do you size a pump control panel?
Pump control panels are sized based on several factors including motor horsepower, voltage requirements, the number of pumps in the system, and the type of control strategy used. Engineers must also account for starting current, circuit protection, drive capacity, and available panel space for components such as variable frequency drives, controllers, and instrumentation.
Proper sizing ensures the control system can safely manage electrical loads, support future system expansion, and provide reliable operation under varying demand conditions.
