Pump Control System (PCSM)
Overview
Overview DisplayAutomation and Electronics, Inc. PCSM-2000 (Pump Control System) is a low cost off-the-shelf package that has been designed to monitor and control small to medium sized Municipal Water Systems.
The PCSM-2000 system is designed around 3 major components. The personal computer PC based operator interface, the 608C master control unit, and SRTU (The Simple Remote Telemetry Unit).
The 608C master control unit is the heart of the system, and is designed with our industrially rated 608C embedded controller. This unit is programmed to perform all pump logic, and remote communications, and operates independent of the PC based operator interface. The master control unit will keep the water system operating even if the PC fails.
Set Point DisplayThe PC based operator interface is designed to operate on a low cost Microsoft® Windows® computer. The Windows user interface gives the operator a full graphic interface to the system. The operator can monitor and control a basic municipal water system by entering tank level set points, starting and stopping wells, setting pumping sequences, and monitoring flow totals. It is designed with a powerful 32-bit SCADA software package that has been pre-configured for this off-the-shelf application.
The third component of the PCSM-2000 system, the Simple Remote Telemetry Unit or SRTU, has been designed for use at wells, lift stations and tanks. It interfaces to the motor starter and flow meter to monitor the number of starts, report elapsed time, flow rate, and totals. The SRTU also has 2 on board control relays to start and stop pumps. It can be used with spread spectrum radios or conventional licensed radio links.
Combined with a printer, and an automatic alarm reporting telephone dialer (which is connected to the 608C master control unit), this off-the-shelf wireless system can be used to monitor and control up to 6 wells, 2 lift stations, and 2 tanks.
