Efficient solution for elevated tank monitoring and control
Elevated tanks for drinking water supply are usually distributed over the entire area of a supplier and are also often located at points that are difficult to reach. Tight control and monitoring of these decentralized facilities is essential for a high level of supply security and for compliance with the statutory documentation requirements.
Modern M2M/IoT technology of the telecontrol systems from M2M Control can monitor and control remote elevated tanks effectively and economically, because all functions are integrated in a freely programmable device:
- local control (e.g. pumps, slide valves, UV disinfection) via PLC functionality according to IEC 61131-3
- safe data logging of all operating data (e.g. filling level, inflow, consumption, pouring, temperature, …) to meet the legal documentation requirements
- active fault messages in case of malfunctions or faulty states of the system, either directly by voice message, SMS or e-mail or via a central server
- inexpensive and wireless data transmission via mobile radio (LTE, UMTS, GPRS) for central operational management, storage and documentation
Our standard water management libraries are available for effective development. Ready-made solutions are available for many elevated tank/well constellations through our project partners.
