Using traditional SCADA for the complex process control
and large input/output needs that frequently occur in-plant makes
sense. Bringing that level of complexity and cost into the
simpler monitoring and control needs at lift stations does
not. MISSION makes two systems so you can mix RTU’s and
match them to your needs. Both RTU’s share a common
electrical interface, come in the same enclosure choices,
and have many of the same operational features. It is easy
to evaluate this remarkable system as free 60 day
evaluations are available; it’s a remarkable value as a
complete system costs less than most dialers and a phone
line.
Graphs of Daily/Hourly Pump Runtimes and Starts – In
addition to automatically collecting and posting runtimes
and starts, MISSION’s software will chart and graph them too. The M-110 will collects
up to three pump runtimes and starts while the M-800 will
take up to eight. Both systems will also track and report
simultaneous runtimes in duplex lift stations as well as
automatically notify you if a pump exceeds an adjustable
hourly starts threshold.
Automated Pump Problem Analysis
of Daily Runtimes - Save
money by letting the MISSION system catch pump
problems before they turn into
expensive alarm conditions. Save time by letting the MISSION
software catch pumps that aren’t running in their normal
variance parameters, and automatically alert plant
management in a separate notification list.
Estimated Flow Calculations – The M-110 estimates flow by
multiplying runtime times the draw down confirmed GPM of
each pump. While you can connect a flow meter directly to an
M800 and have it report and graph realtime flow, it can also
calculate and report the volumetric flow calculations of
each pump cycle.
RTU-to-RTU Automatic Control of Upstream Lift Stations – The real-time M-800 RTU will detect a high wet well level, send
you an alarm and automatically call upstream lift stations
with M-800s and shut down their pumps until the high level clears.
Remote manual control of pumps or gates is also included.
Integrated Site Activity Logs – From
its inception, MISSION has used
electronic keys as an integrated part of tracks who is checking in and out of field sites.
This allows the operator to keep CMOM audit trails
without resorting to soggy or illegible paper sheets
kept at each station.
The Latest End-To-End Security
- The best levels of security encompass multiple
overlapping systems that maximize security throughout the whole system;
MISSION uses this
approach and meets the standards for communications that AWWA and Homeland Security have set.
Maintenance Free RTU’s, Wireless Links And…Everything –
There is no maintenance for you to do on any MISSION RTU. If
there is a RTU problem, you simply replace the board or
radio at a guaranteed price that’s about 15% of a new unit;
easy access to the RTU board and radio make changes a snap.
If there a problem with a cell tower, the RTU will
automatically connect to another one while the cellular
carrier fixes it. MISSION maintains your web sites,
databases, software…everything.
Easy Upgrades To Field RTU’s – It’s easy to upgrade the
software in the field RTU; simply pop out the old chip and
put in the new one. That’s all; it takes about 60 seconds.
If you want to upgrade from a M-100 to a M-800, get a
generous
trade-in credit for your current unit; even if you’ve had it
for years.
