Pump Control Example

The application is to control the level in a wet well 3 meters deep. It is required that :

» the level is displayed in meters

» to start/stop two constant speed pumps: start pump 1 at 1 m level

start pump 2 at 2 m level

stop both pumps at 0.5 m level

» the two pumps operate on a cumulative sequential loop, de-energized

under loss of echo

» low alarm is set at 0.4 m to protect the two pumps from cavitating

» the transducer is mounted 3.4 meters from the bottom of the wet well

» the span of level in the well is 3 m

» maximum fill rate is 1m / min, maximum draw rate is 0.2 m / min

» in the event of loss of echo, go into fail-safe low after 30 seconds to

protect pumps

» the transducer is the submersible type as there is a possibility of flooding
