This screen also shows the states of the various
analog instruments that are used in this system:
Tank level sensors, showing
level in feet and inches
Turbidity sensors, showing the
amount of suspended solids
in the influent and effluent
streams in Nephalometric
Turbidity Units (NTU)
Differential pressure between
the filters intake and
discharge manifolds, which
indicates the backpressure
across the active filter bed
used for determining if a
filter needs to be cleaned
Flow Meter showing the flow
in gallons per minute leaving
the system
The 120VAC power supply and I/O connections
to remote instrumentation and the pump
control center are housed in an adjacent
building. Tying this system into existing plant
equipment required the close coordination
of ERS, Festo, plant personnel, and electricians
working on site.
The Festo CPX valve terminal assembly provides
extensive self-diagnostics. Self-diagnostics
ensures that hardware problems can be quickly
identified with pinpoint accuracy. Screen
icons provide a graphical representation of all
modules in the CPX assembly. Trouble on any
module is indicated by a red warning symbol.
Touching the icon reveals more detail about
the problem. Process data is also collected
and saved for analysis.
Festo designed this system to be scalable,
which means that the same fundamental system
can be designed, pre-wired, and assembled
for different sized projects more quickly and
with more assurance of success than building
from scratch. Furthermore, since the majority
of components were designed to work with
one another, operators are assured of peak
interoperability.
Operators report that the system performs
to expectation and the information available
from the control screens helps to ensure peak
efficiency and faster problem resolutions with
added diagnostic and test screens.
Key Technical Details of the Automated
System Include:
Control Hardware:
Closed loop — real-time
visualization of the entire
filtration process
HMI with Interactive animated
graphics and alarms
