Control module expands portable water treatment system capability
EnviroHub, an Atlantic Pumps brand, has launched an upgraded control module for use with its water quality monitoring and treatment systems.
EnviroHub is a modular system of portable water treatment units. It is used extensively for pH correction, flocculation, lamella silt settlement, dosing, and flow and quality monitoring in the quarrying and construction sectors.
The CM02 control module for use in the EnviroHub systems is an advanced programmable logic controller (PLC), and this latest patent-pending version takes the EnviroHub system’s flexibility and effectiveness to many new potential use cases.
The CM02 enables the reporting and control of multiple water quality factors between fluid handling equipment such as pumps, treatment systems, and valves.
Each CM02 can send multiple parameter reports, such as flow rates, water levels, turbidity, pH, and temperature, and receive commands back in return. For example, water clarity, pH, and temperature can be reported live to Senteos, the online water management software, and then pre-programmed or manually initiated commands can be sent back. These commands could be turning pumps on or off, opening and closing valves, or alerting site managers to a potential issue.
Pre-programmed cards are available for many different data-reporting and command actions, making application-specific setup quick, straightforward, and interchangeable between control modules.
Modular and re-configurable
Designed for flexibility and adaption, the CM02 is ideal for multi-site and multi-fleet asset owners, as each module can be reconfigured and redeployed as required by switching cards around. This plug-and-play approach reduces the change of operator error, and this latest CM02 version allows up to 15 inputs/outputs per module, increasing the ease of multi-point reporting and control. Compared with the CM01, additional sensors and control equipment can be installed as needed – making this expandable system cost-effective to scale and adaptable to future needs.
The core board in the CM02 module automatically detects which card is inserted, meaning it doesn’t need a specialist to reconfigure it onsite.
The new level of energy efficiency, together with the outer module’s IP67 rating, makes the new CM02 ideal for monitoring and controlling water flow and quality on remote, even off-grid, sites. Coupled with the Senteos online cloud-based portal and EnviroHub’s secure networking solutions, few locations are beyond deployment. Users of the EnviroHub can reduce worker risk exposure, lone working, and monitoring visits while gaining greater insights and control in areas such as remote quarries, deep mines, wells-pits, restricted access areas and confined spaces.
