- In Commercial Water supply system, the primary role of theoperators is to provide continuous service to all consumers with
optimum supply security, quality, and cost.
- There is the need for use of Real-time Control and Supervisory Systems .
- State-of-the-art control and manipulation of physical system
parameters as well as real-time system integration are now possiusing the SCADA systems
- SCADA means Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition systems

SYSTEM MONITORING AND CONTROL
- It a system of engineering that is involved in real-time
measurement of physical data (Data Acquisition) and translatingthe electrical replica of the physical measurement through real-time communication link to a remote control centre (SupervisoryControl) for effective monitoring and control
- This is achieved via a localised Remote Terminal Unit.
- The hierarchy of such a control system is illustrated in the figurebelow

- 08028451593, 08054143288, 08030723801
This hierarchy is categorised as
follows:
Level 0 - System Hardware
Level 1 - Local Controls(electrical Transducers and RTUs)
Level 2 - Area Controls(man-machine interface)
Level 3 - Supervisory Control

FROM THE PREVIOUS SLIDE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT:
Data acquisition is obtained through ‘hard-
wiring’ with site equipment
Logging, Supervisory Control and Monitoring is
done through Communication Channels e.g.
Microwave Radio Channels, within an RTU (orRemote Terminal Unit).

A typical application is the versatile MOSCAD SCADASystem from MOTOROLA, shown below:

A Typical SCADA system contains the following elements:- Primary Sensors and Control Devices- Remote Terminal Units (RTUs)
- Communication Subsystem- In-plant Control Station
- Central Computer The Primary Sensors and Control Elements will be
determined by the specific installation requirements e.g.Wet well (dry well) – High/Low AlarmsLevel/Flow – High/Low Level, Flow, Pressure measurements Pump Status – Run, Fail, Temperature, Run-time, VibrationPower Monitoring

- For effective monitoring and control, there is the needfor converting data variable of the Physical System intoa signal whose magnitude and sense are representative
of the data variable.
- Sensing Devices that convert physical phenomenonand chemical composition into electric, pneumatic, orhydraulic output signals known as Transducers are very
useful for this purpose.Two basic categories of transducers are available as follows;
- those based on electric effects - those based on mechanical effects

Fluid Monitoring & Control
- Monitoring and control are mostly implemented at the variouspoints where actuators are applied in the system.
- Modern monitoring is achieved using intelligent instrumentation,and a wide range of measurements are made in measuringinstruments and control systems. The most common are:
- Pressure
- - Temperature- - Flow
- These three forms of measurements account for 90% of allmeasurements made on physical systems.

In the design of our measuring instruments, these threecriteria shall, of necessity, be established;
- What is to be measured?
- Why is it to be measured?- What accuracy is required?
These questions are important in establishing aninstrument specification, especially for computer control
schemes in SCADA systems. Figure below illustrates ageneral instrumentation system and the interface withintelligent instrumentation schemes as obtainable inSCADA systems.

Neither instruments nor control systems can have anexistence unless measurements can be made.
There is a wide range of measurands, which are detectedby a wide variety of sensors and are processed by alesser number of transducers.
Measurement of fluid flow involve a long chain of
operations that may involve the process below.
These form the basic principles of techniques that shall beutilised in sensing the measurand (water) characteristicsfor SCADA implementation.

WATER LEVEL
There are many different techniques, some direct (actual measurements)and others indirect (using another measurand). The variety of methods that
provide continuous, automatic signal include:
- Float method- Differential Pressure method- Diaphragm Switch method
- Direct Pressure method- Load Cell method- Capacitive method- Ultrasonic method

We have looked at measurement of natural phenomena such as flow,pressure, force, level, pH, etc., using analogue variables.
Some of these signals are converted into electrical signals while some
are transmitted as pulses or coded signals.
For these signals to be useful in digital computation, manipulation ofdata associated with natural phenomena is carried out using digitalprocessing.
There is a great effort involved in the translation of analogue signals toa digital format, and there are variety of devices which easily give adigital output in response to natural phenomena.

The following applications are in use:
A digital transducer should measure the natural phenomenon and produce aparallel binary or binary-coded-decimal (BCD) output as shown in figure
7.1(a). This type is known as Direct Digital Encoding and it measuresdisplacement The following applications are in use:
1 The digital transducer shown in figure 7.1(b) operates as Pulse,Frequency and Time Encode r, where a digital pulse train is produced in
response to physical phenomena. Pulse, frequency and time aredependent variables related by:
Time = 1/frequency

1 The third type shown in figure 7.1(c) is an Analogue to Digital Encoder ,where an analogue effect such as the change in resistance value or thechange in tension on a wire can be operated on by hybrid electronic
circuitry to produce a frequency or pulse train.
2 The last but not the least is the Analogue to Digital Converter , wherean analogue signal from a transducer such as strain gauge orthermocouple can be presented to a digital computer by analogue to
digital conversion. This is illustrated in figure 7.1(d).

DIGITAL FLOW TRANSDUCERS
There are a number of interesting digital techniques in themeasurement of fluid flows. These include:
(a) Transit Time Flowmeters which measure the time differencebetween
transmitting an ultrasonic beam upstream, and downstream across ahomogeneous fluid flow contained in a pipe. This is illustrated below.

velocity and obtain a corresponding frequency output. The
configuration is shown below:

(c) The Vortex Shedding Flow Transducer uses the principle offlow
diversion or obstruction. If a bluff body is placed in a fluid flow
themoving fluid cannot follow the contours and sheds eddies orvortices. The vortex pattern depends on the bluff body’s shape
andthe fluid’s properties, but the frequency of the vortices depends
on the flow rate of the fluids.
