Sulzer Equipment controller ЕC 531
The equipment controller EC 531 is an all-in-one unit for monitor-ing and control of one or two pumps. It is designated primarily for municipal pumping stations. The software included in the EC 531 is a further development of the PC 441 advanced surveillance systems.
Viewing of alarms, manual control of pumps and changing of set-tings etc. can be made locally via the graphical user interface. It can also be done via the configuration software AquaProg at a PC, con-nected directly to the local service port or remotely via e.g. modem.Settings are password protected in two levels to avoid unauthorized or accidental changes.
AquaProg software can be used for backing up the controllers set-tings on the hard disc, download alarms, events and historical data.
Key control parameters
- Level set-point, including time delays
- Speed of level change
- Random start levels
- Tariff control
- Maximum runtime
- VFD control logic, including flow calculation, day set points, night set-points and adjustable pump reversal speed
- BEP (Best Efficiency Point)
Data communication
- Communication via Modbus (RTU / TCP) protocol with other telemetry or SCADA systems
- I/O and register cross-reference tables for efficient communication setup
- Ethernet communication support
Communication interface
- Communication port RS 232, connect to modem, radio or other serial communication carrier
- Service port for PC connection, RS 232 and USB
- RS 485 to VFD, Soft starters and Energy Meter
- Ethernet by RJ45 plug
Operator panel
The built-in operator panel with graphical display and keypad ensures
easy configuration and operation of the EC 531. It allows the
operator to see pump status at a glance. Graphical symbols (high
temperature, leakage, electric fault, vibration fault) will turn red when
an alarm is activated. Detailed information about the behavior of the
float controls is displayed in a separate view.
Data from the panel can be viewed or accessed in different formats:
alphanumeric characters or animated graphical symbols.
