The system consists of: ➢ 2x duty pumps and 1x standby pump. ➢ The pumps control the water level in a process tank, supplied by a water reservoir. ➢ Parallel pump operation is required, with both duty pumps running simultaneously to meet system demand. The system requirements are as follows: 1. Water Level Control: ○ The reservoir level determines the number of pumps running: ■ 1 pump operates if the reservoir level is between 20%-40%. ■ 2 pumps operate if the reservoir level is above 40%. ○ Pumps must stop if the reservoir level drops below 20%. ○ The process tank has a volume of 2,000L and must: ■ Start filling when the level drops to 60%. ■ Stop filling when it reaches 80%. ■ The process tank level should not drop below 40% at any point. ○ A High High Level of 90% is set for the process tank, at which point the supply should stop. ○ The reservoir has a volume of 10,000L. ○ A PID control loop using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) must regulate the pump operation to maintain the process tank level. 2. Pump Duty Selection: ○ At the start of the automatic control sequence, the system should perform duty selection based on the total running time of the pumps. ○ The pump with the shortest service period should be selected as Duty Pump 1, the second shortest as Duty Pump 2, and the longest service period as the standby pump. ○ If a duty pump fails, the user should be prompted to select the standby pump as duty or reject this and run on the existing duty selection. 3. Fixed Outflow: ○ The process tank has a fixed outflow of 150L/min. 4. Pump Capacities: ○ Pump 1: 70L/min. ○ Pump 2: 120L/min. ○ Pump 3: 110L/min. 5. Manual Control: ○ In manual mode, the user should be able to specify a flow rate for each pump while maintaining the duty selection logic. 6. Shut-off Valves: ○ Actuated shut-off valves must be installed on each pump to control flow. ○ A main actuated shut-off valve must be installed on the reservoir outlet to control water flow from the reservoir. 7. Hardware and Software Requirements: ○ PLC: Delta AS200 range. ○ VFDs: Delta CP2000 range, 2.2kW. ○ SCADA: VTScada Light package. 8. Safety Alarms: ○ Include necessary safety alarms and interlocks based on the process description and user experience feedback. 9. Process Visualization and Simulation: ○ A visual display of the process must be available in the SCADA system. ○ A process simulation should be run as part of the presentation of the solution to the customer. 10. Control Philosophy and Sensor Selection: ○ Provide a detailed control philosophy document describing the overall strategy and implementation. ○ Specify the sensors used for level and flow control, including their type and rationale for selection. Sensor choice is at the programmer's discretion. Test Deliverables 1. Solution Requirements ● Provide a high-level solution addressing the problem. ● Outline the steps to implement the solution. ● Include any assumptions or constraints that might affect your solution. 2. Hardware Specification ● PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) ○ Specify the Delta AS200 PLC and any required modules. ○ Justify the selection based on system requirements. ● VSD (Variable Speed Drive) ○ Specify the Delta CP2000 VSDs and their settings for the pumps. ○ Justify your choice for controlling pump speed via PID control. ● SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) ○ Specify the VTScada Light package for visualization and control. ○ Justify your selection based on system needs and customer demo. ● Include any other required hardware or communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, Ethernet/IP, etc.).

As an experienced industrial automation specialist, my skills and proficiency in systems like SIEMENS TIA portal program, Simatic Manager program, and WinCC SCADA are well-suited for your water reservoir management system design project. I've had hands-on experience similar to yours from Wastewater Treatment Plant and Water Treatment Plant Automation Projects where I not only wrote the system software but also used the best platforms to monitor and control the system like the prevalence of VTScada light package you require. Additionally, using Modbus and Ethernet/IP communication protocols were routine for me, which I can leverage for your project if needed. Furthermore, I have successfully programmed with the relevant Delta AS200 range controller before; hence my familiarity with it would allow me to deliver your deliverables efficiently. For instance, justifying the selection of Delta CP2000 VSDs and their settings for pumps will be easier based on my understanding of PID control for process control. Similarly, I can provide an in-depth solution addressing your needs for duty selection logic based on pump run times considering my extensive experience in programming PLCs and familiar with interlocks, safety alarms, and process safeties implementation. .
