failure, VFD bypass and PLC bypass modes with enclosure doors closed and disconnect switch fully engaged. Enclosure shall include the following switches/ or indicator lights:

start across the line • Reset – Acknowledges pump station alarms • Speed potentiometer – in test mode allows user to adjust VFD pump speed • Low discharge pressure override switch – disables low discharge pressure alarm Individual pump run

lights

B. The Station shall posses the following Alarms as a minimum, and may employ addition job specific alarms, safeties, and shutdown faults as needed. All alarms will be indicated by a red general alarm light. Alarm conditions along with procedures for correction will be displayed in English on the human machine interface device (HMI).

• Low discharge pressure • High discharge pressure (Attempts restart)* • Low water level (Attempts restart)* • Phase loss (Attempts restart)* • Low voltage (Attempts restart)* • Phase unbalance (Attempts restart)* • Phase reversal (Attempts restart)* • Individual motor overload/phase loss (indicates which individual motor was shut down) Manual reset

only. Automatic reset is not acceptable. • VFD fault (shutdown VFD pump only and attempts restart)*

C. Fifteen distinct set point pressures (normal, lockouts 1 through 14, and 2 selectable set points driven by field inputs for high elevation zones). The lockout feature gives the user the flexibility to lower the set point pressure automatically at days and times, and "locking out" the operation of one or more of main pumps if local power authority imposes penalties for operating these pumps during such times. It also allows user to set a maximum RPM for the VFD pump during these lockout times so that user can limit amperage draw during penalty periods. The high elevation set points can be tied into a computerized irrigation system, or directly linked to high elevation satellites. When high elevation satellites are operating, control software will automatically and gradually elevate the pressure to the new desired set point. When finished, the high set point will be lowered back to normal. The high elevation set point will only be used if called out on the technical data sheet.

D. Software will be included to automatically and gradually ramp up irrigation system




pressure to the desired operating pressure (i.e., 1 PSI every 4 seconds) without overshooting design pressure. This feature operates whenever pressure drops below set point pressure. This ramp up time is fully adjustable by the operator. This control feature is based on an increase in pressure over a pre-defined time period. The acceleration control on the VFD is NOT an acceptable means of adjusting pressure ramp up speed.

E. Software will be included for optionally maintaining a lower irrigation system pressure

when not irrigating. Reduced pressure values will be shown in the technical data sheet. Controls will cycle the PM pump at these reduced pressures during non irrigation times and pressure will gradually increase to design pressure when the irrigation periods begin.

F. Neither flow meter nor VFD output frequency shall be used for shutting down last VFD

driven pump. Controls and software shall incorporate a method to eliminate excessive cycling of VFD pump at very low flow conditions, yet not run the pump excessively at no flow conditions.

G. Automatic alternation of VFD driven pumps. This shall be accomplished by incorporating

dual mechanically and electrically interlocked contactors allowing alternation of the VFD between pumps. The controls shall alternate pumps based on individual run time allowing each pump to acquire equal operation.

H. Real time clock calendar allows PLC to internally provide all date ,time and day of week

functions used above. I. Two separately adjustable PID control loops for both low flow and high flow pressure

stability. J. User shall be able to field select either of two modes of VFD operation. Auto switch VFD

option allows VFD to sequentially start each pump. The standard mode of operation starts the first main pump on the VFD and the remaining pumps start across the line as required.

K. Shutoff algorithm for fixed speed pumps to minimize pump cycling while also remaining

responsive to sudden flow reductions. Minimum run timers alone for minimizing fixed speed pump cycling is not acceptable. Discharging through relief valve during pump transitions is not acceptable.

L. Full manual operation capability with panel face mounted speed potentiometer for

manually adjusting VFD speed. M. Light test sequence: Activating the lamp test sequence on the HMI illuminates all lights

for 5 seconds. N. All pump station shutdowns shall be of the controlled type that sequentially retires pumps

at user selectable intervals to reduce water hammer within the irrigation system. Phase fault shut-down shall have accelerated rate to minimize motor damage. All pump system




shut downs shall be of a controlled type that sequentially retire pumps at intervals appropriate to the specific individual alarms.

O. The pump station software program shall be user friendly enough to enable the set point

pressure from being raised or lowered by the end user at the pump station or through the remote monitoring software package if provided. The pump station software ladder logic shall be written in such a way that no other value would require changing if the set point pressure had to be adjusted. Pressure maintenance pump and main irrigation pump start pressures, the pressure maintenance pump stop pressure, low discharge shutdown and high discharge shutdown shall not be at a specific value but a differential pressure off of set point (i.e. pressure maintenance pump (PMP) to start 5 psi below set point and stop 5 psi above setpoint).

7.61 Sequence of Operation. During non irrigation times, the pressure maintenance pump (PM) will cycle

on and off as required to maintain irrigation system pressure. The start and stop pressures shall be a differential off of set point. The cycling pressures can be user selected and can be set substantially below normal set point pressure, if desired. If the PM pump cannot maintain the desired pressure, then the VFD will start the first pump and will gradually ramp the pressure up to desired irrigation pressure. The start pressure of the VFD pump shall be a differential below the set point. The pump speed will be modulated to hold a constant discharge pressure regardless of flow. As the flow rate increases and the VFD pump can no longer maintain pressure while at maximum speed, the next sequential pump will be started and the VFD driven pump will accordingly reduce its speed and modulate. An algorithm shall be included for accurately reducing the VFD pump speed as the next sequential pump is started so that no pressure surges are generated during the transition (even with across the line starting). If the user prefers to switch the VFD from pump to pump for sequential starting, he can select this option with the HMI. As the flow continues to increase, pumps will sequentially be started until all pumps are running. As the flow begins to decrease, pumps will be sequentially turned off until only a single VFD driven pump is operating. When a no flow condition occurs, PLC must check and verify pump curve position prior to station shutdown.

7.62 PLC Automation Program. The pump station software program shall be user friendly and intuitive

enough to enable the set point pressure from being raised or lowered by the end user at the pump station or through the remote monitoring software package if provided. The pump station software ladder logic shall be written in such a way that no other value would require changing if the set point pressure had to be adjusted. Pressure maintenance pump and main irrigation pump start pressures, the pressure maintenance pump stop pressure, low discharge shutdown and high discharge shutdown shall not be at a specific value but a differential pressure off of set point (i.e. pressure maintenance pump (PMP) to start 5 psi below set point and stop 5 psi above setpoint).

7.63 HMI Automation Program. The following information and control screens shall be provided as a minimum to give the user detailed, accurate, and easily understandable operational information. The Pump Station HMI shall include the capability of remote monitoring via Ethernet network. Device shall provide all interface capabilities available at the pump station through the Ethernet connection via internet browser (Windows Internet Explorer).
