An automation system for Alsahafa Pumping Station By Using (PLC and SCADA) Khartoum State for Water Corporation

Abstract

This research presents the simulation of an automation system of ALSAHAFA pumping station to control of the parameters in a plant such as: level-pump pressure-flow in and out of the tank and the operation of the pumps. The research addresses the problems of conventional control for such parameter since the autonomous control helps and participates in improvement of the level of efficiency. The software code is developed using both SIMATIC MANAGER S7-300 for PLC while WINCC flexible_2008 (SCADA) is used as simulator of the system. The purpose of the research is to replace the manual system being used in the station, compare the time, and manpower requirement for both the existing system with the proposed automated system and also the operator can monitor the functionality of the entire building on the SCADA screen, and alarm reports assist in location faults, which contributes to a significant increase in maintenance efficiency.
