The
Model 310 console is a proven control system providing all continuous
and discrete controls necessary for a typical surface or bulk filter
in a water treatment plant. At its heart, the console uses an Allen-Bradley
SLC 500 Series programmable logic controller (PLC) with associated
programming and input/output modules, plus a touch-activated display
panel. Though designed for stand-alone operation, the Model 310
can be integrated into a plant-wide SCADA network, either upon initial
installation or on a retrofit basis. Major features include the
following:
- User-friendly, touch-screen panel for high operator
efficiency
- PLC based for long-term cost effectiveness
- Nonproprietary code, documented to allow user
changes
- Independent operation or functions as part of
plant-wide control system
- Readily customized for your particular application
needs
- Factory assembled, programmed, tested, and warranted
Using
a PLC as the heart of the system eliminates the need for many of
the discrete elements of a conventional system; items such as timers,
relays, PID controllers, etc. The PLC is ideal for filter sequencing.
And the PLC is particularly cost effective as part of a plant-wide
system integration. The touch-screen panel makes the Model 310 especially
easy to use with minimal training. Documented configuration programs
provided by Revere can readily be adapted by users and consulting
engineers to suit unique needs for a given situation. Working from
this display, an operator is able to do many functions, including
the following:
- At a glance, read the main operating indicators--flow
rate, head loss, turbidity, time since backwash, etc.
- Manually initiate backwash and observe its progress
- Change setpoints (flow, level, etc.) backwash
parameters, and conditions that trigger automatic backwash or
switch to manual mode and operate all valves from the screen
If
the PLC or touch-screen panel should malfunction, the Model 310
is equipped with hardwired indicators and manual switches that permit
the operator to maintain control of the filter.
