Control package for lift stations

22 June 2009

Control Microsystems, a developer of SCADA products, has launched the FlowStation 110, a complete out-of-the-box pump station controller package.

The FlowStation has been designed for use in storm and wastewater lift stations and common pump-up applications. It can be set up locally by field technicians or remotely by system engineers, and is suitable for stand-alone installations or as part of a greater SCADA network. It features a dedicated pump controller, a colour touch-screen local operator interface, a GPRS modem for remote web browsing, SMS, and either email alarming, or serial or Ethernet radio for SCADA connectivity.

FlowStation 110 is designed to support the monitoring, calibration, and alarming of pump current draw. It can help minimise energy consumption during peak demand periods by using up to three alternate setpoint groups.
