Applications — Pump Stations
Pump stations are AutoLog®'s home turf. The GSM-16 controller is the de-facto standard for water-utility SCADA: every pump, every level switch, every flow meter, every pressure station, every treatment tank — monitored continuously, alarmed instantly, logged for regulatory reporting.
Water utilities run on hundreds of unattended pump stations. Each one needs to know if a pump is running, if the wet well is filling faster than it’s draining, if the discharge pressure is normal, if there’s a power failure or a phase imbalance, and — when something goes wrong at 3 a.m. — to call someone. AutoLog® controllers do all of that in one box.
A typical pump-station AutoLog deployment includes pump on/off and motor-current supervision, wet-well level via ultrasonic or pressure transducer, discharge pressure and flow, intrusion and door alarms, mains and UPS supervision, and one or two analog inputs reserved for site-specific instrumentation. The GSM-RTU sends measurements and alarms to ControlMan™ SCADA continuously; over SMS as a backup channel when data sessions drop.
Water-tower and pressure-station deployments add reservoir level supervision and pressure setpoint control; treatment plants extend the model to chemical-dosing pumps, turbidity and chlorine analysers, and the safety interlocks that all utilities are required to log.
The GSM-16 is the recommended controller because it pairs the right I/O density for a typical pump station with a built-in modem and the AlProWin programming environment that most of our water-utility customers’ integrators already know.
