Configuration and Operation
Pump Station Controller
Introduction
This application uses the MicroLogix 1400 and PanelView Component C600
to provide a "stand alone" multifunction pump controller that allows the user
the ability to choose between a pump down (lift station), pump up (water
tank), or a pressure follower (water distribution) control process, with just a
few simple screen selections.
Functionality includes:
● Control of up to 4 pumps.
● User assignable inputs.
● Use of floats, analog or a combination of both to control the process.
● Control of VFDs through Modbus communication, which reduces the
control wiring to the drives (PowerFlex 4/40/400 VFDs only)
● Pump control can be done with starters, PowerFlex 4 series VFDs or
with another manufactures VFD.
● Pump sequencing control.
● User selectable alarms with the ability to choose which ones can be used
to initiate an alarm dialer (user supplied)
● Pump statistics.
● The ability to save and load VFD parameters from the HMI. (PF4
VFDs only).
● Selectable pump interlocks.
● Screen access security.
