Pumping Station SCADA
Automation and Control

SCADA Solution for Remote Management

This solution is a SCADA-based* system designed for the remote monitoring and control of pumping stations.

It enables automated and efficient management of one or more pumps, ensuring optimal performance, energy efficiency, and reliability.

The system integrates advanced monitoring, control, and communication technologies to provide a comprehensive solution for water utilities, industrial facilities, and municipalities.

* SCADA (an acronym for supervisory control and data acquisition) is a control system architecture comprising computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level supervision of machines and processes.

Key Features and Capabilities

1. Automated Control of Pumps
Combines level, flow, and pressure measurements with ON/OFF alarm capabilities.
Allows for local or remote control of relay outputs, enabling seamless operation from a central management center or by on-site operators.

2. Flexible Control Modes
Control can be based on tank levels, predefined schedules, or manual operation by pumping station operators or management center personnel.
Can be integrated with energy market pricing data to optimize pumping operations during low-cost energy periods, achieving significant energy savings.

3. Control with ThingsLog TLCTL Controllers
Control is achieved using ThingsLog TLCTL controllers, which feature built-in relay control or Modbus/RS485 integration.
Compatible with any type of contactor or soft starter available on the market, ensuring flexibility and adaptability.

4. Tank Data Logging
Utilizes LPMDL data loggers to collect and transmit tank data via 4G, NB-IoT, CatM1, or LoRa/LoRaWAN to the ThingsLog system.
Ensures real-time monitoring and historical data analysis for informed decision-making.

5. Automatic Surge Control and Protection
Includes automatic surge control to protect the pumping station from pressure surges, extending the lifespan of equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

6. Programmable Logic for Monitoring and Control
Allows for the creation of customizable logic to monitor, manage, and control pumping operations.
Supports advanced automation scenarios tailored to specific operational needs.

7. Secure Communication Environment
Data transmission is secured through GSM, NB-IoT, or LoRa communication, ensuring reliable and tamper-proof connectivity.

8. Real-Time Communication with ThingsLog Controller
The system communicates in real time with the ThingsLog controller, which manages one or more control circuits via the ThingsLog relay board.
Provides instant feedback and control capabilities for efficient operation.

9. Integration with Water Metering and Pressure Control
Can be combined with water metering zones and centralized pressure monitoring to enhance overall water distribution network management.
