Listed per Bulletin 508 Schematic and layout drawings 3D Graphics We are leading the way on the incorporation of 3D graphics into HMI software programs for water and wastewater applications. Using state-of-the-art software, our engineers can give your operators screen images that faithfully replicate their actual equipment. Using familiar images makes the interaction more user friendly. Operators can observe animated levels change and equipment rotate, imitating actual operation and providing operators with a higher level of understanding and recognition of actual equipment performance and response. Digital photographs of in-place equipment are converted into recognizable 3D images of your water tanks, pumps, valves, process equipment, piping, and other equipment included in your control system. This process allows us to create 3D images of all types of equipment within a plant, and even an overview of the plant itself. And these graphics can be incorporated into any of the major HMI software packages, including RSView, WonderWare, Intellution, and Citect. The Model 310 console is a proven control system providing all continuous and discrete controls necessary for a typical surface or bulk filter in a water treatment plant. At its heart, the console uses an Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with associated programming and input/output modules, plus a touch-activated display panel. Though designed for stand-alone operation, the Model 310 can be integrated into a plant-wide SCADA network, either upon initial installation or on a retrofit basis. Major features include the following: User-friendly, touch-screen panel for high operator efficiency PLC based for long-term cost effectiveness Nonproprietary code, documented to allow user changes Independent operation or functions as part of plant-wide control system Readily customized for your particular application needs Factory assembled, programmed, tested, and warranted Using a Programmable Logic Controller as the heart of the system eliminates the need for many of the discrete elements of a conventional system; items such as timers, relays, PID controllers, etc. The Programmable Logic Controller is ideal for filter sequencing. And the Programmable Logic Controller is particularly cost effective as part of a plant-wide system integration. The touch-screen panel makes the Model 310 especially easy to use with minimal training. Documented configuration programs provided by Revere can readily be adapted by users and consulting engineers to suit unique needs for a given situation. Working from this display, an operator is able to do many functions, including the following: At a glance, read the main operating indicators--flow rate, head loss, turbidity, time since backwash, etc. Manually initiate backwash and observe its progress Change setpoints (flow, level, etc.) backwash parameters, and conditions that trigger automatic backwash or switch to manual mode and operate all valves from the screen If the PLC or touch-screen panel should malfunction, the Model 310 is equipped with hardwired indicators and manual switches that permit the operator to maintain control of the filter. SCADA SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems are crucial elements of many water distribution and wastewater collection systems, allowing centralized personnel to perform remote monitoring and control of widely dispersed equipment, generally pumping stations. Although the most common configurations use radio as the means of communicating with RTUs (Remote Terminal Units), other communication schemes are possible. These include direct lines, leased telephone lines, and dial-up telephone lines. Our experience with SCADA systems is extensive, covering all types of communication schemes and systems as large as 100 Remote Terminal Units. Our system design process involves four key steps: the radio survey, analysis and design, build and test, field testing and training. Allen-Bradley-based Remote Terminal Units Radio Communications Survey When a system is intended to use radio communications, we will do a survey to assure paths, elevations, and frequencies for all sites in the network will meet operational standards for proper performance. Key steps in the survey are as follows: Obtain the geodetic coordinates for each site and establish the relevant digital elevation model to be used Using terrain analysis computer software, generate a path analysis and check it against the USGS topographical maps Select a propagation method and model with which to do the necessary calculations Based on the factors developed in the previous steps, determine the expected receive signal level and compare that against acceptable minimums Specify a selection of either licensed radio or spread spectrum, based on a comparison of the system requirements to the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches Perform a field radio test to confirm the calculations and frequency selection performance Click to view a flyer on our Scalable SCADA System.
