Abstract

The proposed system provides an analysis of the simulation and components required for the implementation of an automated level control system with the help of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) was established and the HMI was created. The proposed model can effectively supervise level control in multiple tanks. Three level sensors were used to provide the level data to the PLC. PLC used this data to take the required decisions and thereby turning ON and OFF a pump. A manual switch was also provided to override the automatic system. The SIMATIC S7-300 universal controller was used as the main decision-making module. The system was implemented in SCADA to create the required Human Machine Interface (HMI). Modifications can be made by using float sensors model which would effectively provide the correct level but the cost would increase and vibration of the sensor might disrupt the result, our model effectively counters those shortcomings. This paper presents a case study of SCADA system for monitoring and control of the parameters in water supply system. The system main functional parameters and performs continuous supervision of water distribution stations in order to allow any problem to be solved. The control system is organized in a hierarchical structure with three layers. The first layer consists of field instruments, remote terminal units, and field control devices. The signals from instruments via transmitters are sent to dedicated PLC panels at the second layer. The SCADA central level contains high-speed pc computer for supervision or operative drive of remote processes. Water level sensing can be implemented in industrial plants, commercial use and even at home.
