PLC and SCADA Based Automation in Testing of Water and Drinking Water Supplying Unit

G. Sathishkumar ^[2] | M. Prabu ^[3]

Abstract: In normal days there is a rapid development in urban residential area, whereas in case of water distribution system they are using traditional method, which is not atomized. The best way to improve the water distribution system is by using industrial PLC and PC system, which includes all network components like flow sensor, GSM modules, pH sensor etc. The water theft can be best monitored by the flow variations given by the flow sensors mounted on the several channels. The reliable instrumentation connected to PLC or RTU assure real time monitoring of the main technological parameters of large water distribution networks. The data acquired of SCADA system represent the support for optimization of the process and data- driven Decision Support System. The system includes Remote Terminal Units (RTU), flow transducers and actuators distributed on a wide geographical area, control and power panels for the pump stations etc.
