# Project Summary: City of Paso - Water - Orchard Bungalow Booster Project Summary: City of Paso - Water - Orchard Bungalow Booster Overview This project involves the configuration and programming of the Orchard Bungalow Booster station. The system utilizes a mix of VFD and ATL (Across the Line) pumps controlled via an Allen-Bradley PLC and Ignition Edge HMI, with telemetry sent to the primary SCADA system via radio. Equipment & Hardware * Pumps (4 Total): * Pump 1: VFD Duty Pump * Pump 2: VFD Duty Pump * Pump 3: ATL Duty Pump * Pump 4: ATL Fire Pump * Note: Configuration is Lead/Lag/Standby alternating for Pumps 1-3. Pump 4 is the Fire Pump (Last). * VFDs: Eaton drives (Generic Variable Speed Drive objects). * Operational Mode: VFDs are to run like soft starters (ramp up/down of 10 seconds, user-editable). They will not run continuously for pressure maintenance; a hydrotank manages system pressure. * Panel: The panel is already built and mounted on-site. Control & Communications * PLC: Allen-Bradley (AB). * IO: Hardwired. * Telemetry/SCADA: * Radio: 900MHz serial communications. * Protocol: Modbus. * Data Path: Booster PLC hands off telemetry data via Modbus over the 900MHz radio -> SCADA AB PLC -> Primary Ignition SCADA. * Local HMI (Ignition Edge): * Acts as an "island" (no direct connection to the Ignition Primary SCADA gateway). * Connects locally to the AB PLC via Ethernet using the standard AB Ignition driver. Project Files & Resources * Panel Drawings: Google Drive Link * Context: Panel is built/mounted. * PLC Project File: WaterBoosterVFD.ACD Google Drive Link * Context: Created by Andy. Contains structures for 4 VFDs and 4 ATLs to allow for any configuration, though specific site usage is 2 VFD/2 ATL. * Historical Note: No P&ID exists, only old Tesco drawings. Kevin noted he originally worked on this station (wiring a trial VFD) in 1994 during the OJ Simpson sentencing. Action Items * Andy: Handling Ignition Edge HMI programming and SCADA side telemetry. * Mason: Needed for the PLC side programming. Actual slack conversation: CIty of Paso - Water - Orchard Bungalow Booster No P&ID, just old Tesco drawings 9:41 I was looking those up Kevin 9:41 AM in the shared drive? Andy 9:42 AM 3 VFD booster, two primary pumps one big one 9:43 PSI discharge and intake, flow rate Kevin 9:46 AM this probably goes in story time, but I was working at this pump station wiring in a trial VFD when OJ Simpson got sentenced. I was listening to it on the radio. Mason Radke 9:46 AM this particular booster station?? Kevin 9:47 AM yep Mason Radke 9:47 AM wow! like '87? 9:47 or is that when it went down Kevin 9:47 AM '94 I think Mason Radke 9:47 AM yeah Kevin 9:51 AM @Andy do you have an ACM project you can share with me as a reference? Andy 10:07 AM image.png 10:07 I'm just gonna go through and set this up. You add your IO just like a normal project, then you can tie the IO through this app, then it creates a Studio project Kevin 10:11 AM Are these rockwell VFDs? Andy 10:11 AM no, 10:11 Eaton drives 10:12 so the VSD is a generic veriable speed drive object 10:12 they have 755 objects for powerflex matching drives but for these they are just basic VSDs Kevin 10:13 AM copy. we are used to the generic. lots of ABB drives at South county 10:13 IO is hardwired? 10:13 is that in the drawings? Andy 10:16 AM https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PkUDI1mPvSRilvdYjtJLvSxiBQKnzM0X/view?usp=drive_link 10:16 I started a folder for this project on my shared google drive 10:16 this link is my panel drawings for this project, this panel has been built and is mounted on site 10:16 IO Hardwired, no comms except PLC to SCADA Via Modbus 10:17 control comms* Kevin 10:19 AM Paso is AB to Modbus to Ignition? Andy 10:19 AM you lost me Kevin 10:19 AM ab plc's talking modbus to ignition? Andy 10:20 AM Paso SCADA radio telemetry is 900Mhz, serial comms. I will use that radio to talk modbus to the Booster PLC to hand off telemetry data There will be a local instance of Ignition (Edge) that interacts with the PLC and the PAX instances 10:21 There will actually be no connection between this Ignition Edge instance and Ignition Primary SCADA gateway, it's an island 10:21 AB PLC on site will just connect to Ignition Edge via the Ethernet local connection and using the AB Ignition drive like usual. 10:22 On the SCADA site SCADA telemetry data comes over the 900Mhz radio network into the SCADA AB PLC via Modbus and into Ignition there. Right now I'm prepared to handle that side of things. But the programming for the PLC side I need Mason 10:23 I will handle the Ignition Edge HMI Programming as well. Easy enough for me to replicate another project and update it with new object versions etc. Kevin 10:44 AM ok, so Ignition Edge as local HMI and comms to SCADA via Modbus serial. Andy 10:47 AM 4 Pump, not a 3 Pump Sorry Andy 11:19 AM Just talked to customer: Pump 1: VFD Duty Pump 1 11:20 Pump 2: VDF Duty Pump 2 Pump 3: ATL Duty Pump 3 Pump 4: ATL Fire Pump 11:20 Pumps 1-3 run in lead lag standby alternating, pump 4 is fire pump, last Andy 4:10 PM https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BJ80_6c8R-zclSzFrsWtgqYCvhJo0exh/view?usp=drive_link Google Drive File WaterBoosterVFD.ACD File in Google Drive Open in Google Drive Yesterday 4:12 I created a project that matches the drawings in that folder as well. NOTE I created 4 ATL (across the line) starters and 4 VFD motors. In this instance 2 are VFDs and 2 are ATLs. I'm trying to build a program that can handle any configuration of VFD or starter ALSO NOTE These VFDs are to be run like soft starters, run at full speed to achieve desired effect, with ramp up and ramp down of 10 seconds (editable by user). They will NOT run continuously to achieve a consistent pressure, There is a hydrotank that achieves this effect.
