Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the Industrial Internet of Things, remote monitoring of secondary water supply pump stations has become key to improving management efficiency and ensuring water quality safety. This solution relies on the powerful capabilities of industrial gateways, integrating intelligent management, data collection, remote communication, and edge computing technologies to achieve efficient operation and unattended operation of pump stations.
The field equipment mainly includes sensors such as pumps, flowmeters, valves, pressure gauges, and controllers PLC. These devices are responsible for real-time monitoring of various data in the pump room, such as the water level of the clean water tank, the inlet pressure, the outlet flow rate, the outlet pressure, as well as the start-stop status, working current, working voltage and other electrical parameters of the booster pump set. The collection of these data provides a foundation for remote monitoring.
As a bridge connecting field devices and remote monitoring platforms, industrial gateways have multiple functions such as data collection, forwarding, storage, breakpoint resuming, and edge computing. By adapting the communication protocols of on-site devices such as Modbus and Siemens S7 protocols, the gateway can read device data and issue control commands. At the same time, the gateway supports multiple communication methods such as 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet to ensure real-time transmission of data.
In terms of storage and breakpoint resuming, the gateway's internal memory can store the collected data, ensuring data integrity even during network interruptions. Once the network is restored, the gateway will automatically upload the missing data to ensure the integrity of the platform's basic data.
The edge computing function allows the gateway to perform preliminary processing of data on site, reducing the operational pressure on cloud servers and improving the real-time nature of control and alerting.
The remote monitoring platform is deployed on the cloud or local server, and through receiving data uploaded by the industrial gateway, it achieves remote monitoring, configuration display, fault alarm, remote control and other functions for the pump station. Managers can view the real-time operational status of the pump station on mobile phones, computers, and other terminals, identify and address malfunctions, and adjust equipment parameters.
Through the cooperation of industrial gateway and remote monitoring platform, managers can grasp the operation status of the pump station in real time, and timely detect and handle faults. The system can monitor equipment anomalies and respond immediately based on preset algorithm programs and real-time data, sending alarm information through WeChat, SMS, email, and other methods to ensure efficient operation and management of equipment.
The remote monitoring platform supports data visualization and configuration monitoring on large screens, facilitating quick query and location of equipment status, process flow, alarm events, and other information for management personnel. At the same time, through effective mining of real-time and historical data of equipment, the system can provide comprehensive and reliable data decision support for managers, helping to optimize water efficiency and management level.
With the remote maintenance function of industrial gateway, engineers can achieve remote programming and debugging of PLC and remote uploading and downloading of programs without going to the site, greatly improving work efficiency and reducing travel costs. In addition, the centralized management and unattended characteristics of the system also effectively reduce the operating costs of the pump station.
The remote monitoring solution for the secondary water supply pump station of the industrial gateway provides a new management model for water companies with its efficient, intelligent, and reliable features. By integrating technologies such as intelligent management, data collection, remote communication, and edge computing, this solution not only improves the management efficiency and service quality of the pump station, but also ensures water quality safety and efficient operation of the equipment. In the future, with the continuous development of Internet of Things technology, this solution will be widely applied in more fields, providing strong support for the construction of smart cities.
