Pump controllers are used in a wide range of applications, including sewage systems and water tanks. Depending on the nature of the municipal or industrial application, organizations may require different features in a pump controller system. There are many types of pump controller systems, including:
- Programmable logic controller (PLC) systems
- Relay logic system
- Microprocessor systems
- The MultiSmart system (from MultiTrode)
Choosing a Pump Controller System
Most of the pump controllers available can be designed for custom applications. Relay logic pump controllers, however, operate on a set of rules that are hard-wired into the systems. PLC systems, on the other hand, need to be programmed based on how they'll be used, which can significantly increase the cost of the entire system. Like PLC systems, microprocessor systems feature a large number of outputs that workers have to monitor.
The MultiSmart pump controller system from MultiTrode provides many of the same features found in other systems, but gives operators the flexibility to set a system to run in either automatic or manual mode. The included software also makes it easy for changes to be made to the pump controller through an online interface. When choosing a pump controller system, an organization will typically need to find the balance between the features that are necessary and the cost of the system.
