Groundwater wells are decentrally located system parts of water treatment plants. They are essential for meeting the population’s drinking water demands that vary significantly throughout the day. It is therefore critical that the operation of the wells, and therefore, the supply, is ensured at all times.
Preventive maintenance and the use of remote control technology are indispensable here. Furthermore, the aim is to ensure a balanced extraction rate for the individual wells in order to prevent the lowering of the groundwater table and to increase the service life of the wells.
The operator’s sensitive approach to operating costs is also clear in their need for energy-efficient pump operation, which must be taken into consideration in the technical implementation. In order to satisfy these numerous requirements, a modern automation solution with a secure connection to the control center is required.
Phoenix Contact offers a pre-configured, configurable solution that performs all necessary control and regulation tasks for groundwater wells.
Benefit from a reduced startup outlay, thanks to guided configuration without the need for any programming. The IEC 60870-5-104 remote control protocol also enables easy and convenient connection to a control center.
The field devices are connected via the Water Functions process library from Phoenix Contact. Based on pre-programmed function blocks, this enables the efficient engineering of your systems.
At the heart of the automation hardware is the modular AXC small-scale controller, which is optimally equipped for future extensions thanks to PROFINET and Modbus/TCP functionality. In addition, a comprehensive concept for surge protection and the power supply ensures the security of supply that is required and allows servicing to be planned.
The components used provide comprehensive diagnostic options, which means that the state of your system can also be monitored remotely. MCR modules from the MINI Analog Pro range are also suitable for use in harsh environments. They filter and refresh all incoming analog values for further processing; repeater power supply operation of I/O devices can also be implemented easily.
