Screen with Feet & Inches Units

Pump Control

Lead-Lag Pump Controller with Alternation

One of the most common applications for the ConsoliDator+ is as a pump controller based on a 4-20 mA level sensor. This latest release makes the ConsoliDator+ an even better pump controller! The ConsoliDator+ has always had pump alternation capability but now we’ve made it easier to implement and added more functionality. A new On-Off Multi-Set channel allows for quickly building multiple set point operations, such as set points for controlling multiple pumps in lead-lag control. Adding pump alternation, which alternates which pump is the lead pump at each activation is more straightforward than ever. Additional control functions, such as HOA switches or overriding alarms can be easily implemented into the pump control logic.

Pump Control Details Screen

ConsoliDator+ screen showing the status of 3 pumps programmed for lead-lag with pump alternation. Pump 1 status is ON, pumps 2 and 3 statuses are OFF. This screen also displays the wet well in feet and inches. A bargraph is included on the display for a visual representation of the wet well level.

Pump Control Channel Setup Pump Control Details Screen

Most level control applications use level channels as the input to On-Off Control channels. The level channel is set up to read the signal from a level transmitter and display the level either in height or volume units. The continuous level monitoring allows for selecting multiple alternation points.

On-Off Multi-Set Channel Setup Pump Control Details Screen

This screen shows the setup of a channel using the On-Off Multi-Set feature. Instead of using multiple channels for On- Off control, one channel can be set up with multiple different set and reset points. This allows the user to see all their set and reset points in one place and allows for tighter control of the process.

Lead-Lag Channel Setup Pump Control Details Screen

The Lead-Lag Control channel uses the On-Off channels as the input. The main pump (Lead) always turns on first, the secondary pumps (Lag) turn on only if the main pump is not able to maintain the level below the additional On/Off control points.

Monitoring Wet Well Level & Controlling Three Pumps

In the example above, the Consolidator+ utilizes Lead-Lag with Pump Alternation and On-Off Multi-Set features to control the level in the wet well with three pumps via relay outputs. A level transmitter located atop the well sends a 4-20 mA signal to the ConsoliDator+, which displays pump statuses and level in feet & inches. The ConsoliDator+ will automatically switch to a redundant sensor if the primary fails. Float backup status can also be indicated on screen.

Features Used:

Multiple On/Off set points with optional randomization.
Remote addressable set points.
Lead-Lag with or without alternation.
Alternation based on time.
Delayed and staggered pump start up after power loss.

HOA Switch Feature for Pump Control

The ConsoliDator+ allows control of pumps using the HOA switch feature. It provides a setup for controlling a pump that fills a wet well based on its level, with options to configure well level and on/off control channels.

HOA Configuration Window Pump Control Details Screen

This screen shows the setup of an HOA switch to manage a wet well-filling pump based on well levels. Channels are configured for well-level monitoring and automatic on/off control.

The HOA switch is equipped with three channels:

Channel 2: Automatic On/Off Control
Channel 3: Manual On/Off Control
Channel 4: Off

The HOA switch operates with three positions:

Position 1: Activates Relay 1 (On)
Position 2: Deactivates Relay 1 (Off)
Position 3: Engages Automatic Control Mode

Pump Control Details Screen

In this example, the ConsoliDator+ is displaying critical information relevant to this wet well application and provides soft-keys for controlling the pump.

The display includes:

Well level in Feet and Inches
An Alert! message signaling that the pump has been manually turned off
Indicates the HOA (Hand-Off-Auto) switch in the Off position
Provides Pump 1 relay runtime and cycle count
Prompts user to press the F3 key (AUTO) to switch to automatic control
Bargraph for visual representation of the wet well level

Gas Detection

ConsoliDator+ Used for Alarming in Gas Detection

A power plant facility that uses ammonia to reduce NOx emissions replaced its old, degraded controller with the PD9000 ConsoliDator+ Multivariable Controller.

The facility receives ammonia in bulk from tanker trucks and is dispensed into a storage tank. The PD9000 controller was installed and configured to display and monitor the readings from two sensors that detect ammonia gas leaks at the fill points on top of the storage tank. Ammonia can be very toxic at high concentrations.

Given ammonia is not flammable, a water deluge system is needed to dilute the concentration of ammonia in the area. The water deluge system changes the chemical properties by bonding it with water, and therefore, keeps the ammonia gas exposure at safe levels.

ConsoliDator+ Used for Alarming in Gas Detection

With the use of its relay and alarm capabilities, the PD9000 was configured to activate a warning alarm at 20 ppm and a high alarm at 45 ppm which engages the deluge system.

A 3-color light/horn (PDA-LH3LC-RYG) was installed on top of the PD9000 for ample sound and visibility of the alarms. The light/horn is configured to flash the amber light at the 20 ppm to indicate a warning and flash the red light at 45 ppm to indicate a high concentration of the ammonia gas.

3-Color Layer Light/Horn Installed on ConsoliDator+

An additional alarm was configured to flash the amber light in case a sensor break has occurred. In addition to external alarms, the ConsoliDator+ can display visual alarms on the screen with the use of color-changing channels to help draw operators’ attention to a potential hazard.

Gas detectors must be calibrated often and can give erroneous outputs during calibration that may cause false alarms to occur. To prevent this, an “Inhibit Mode” feature was configured on the PD9000 in which the operator presses a button on the Consolidator+ to force off and disable any active alarms that could potentially turn on the sprinkler system when it’s not actually needed.

The operator can then press the button after the calibration is finished to return the ConsoliDator+ to “Run Mode”. Or, if the operator forgets to manually put the controller back into “Run Mode”, the ConsoliDator+ will automatically switch back without operator input thanks to the timer functions on the ConsoliDator+.

Batch Control

Batch Control with Ticket Printing

The new batch control features enable single-stage or two-stage batch processing, with options for manual or automatic operation. Users can configure up to 16 batches, running them simultaneously or sequentially. During the batch process, various actions can be selected to control lights and horns, providing operators with crucial process information. In addition, a custom ticket can be printed at the end of the batch.

The ConsoliDator+’s 5.7" color display provides a multi-screen graphical interface to display critical information about your batch control application as well as other peripheral information that might be useful to see. For instance, the ConsoliDator+ can display batch control information such as batch preset value, batch preclose value, running batch, flow rate, batch count, and batch grand total. In addition, The ConsoliDator+ can display other data such as pressure, level, temperature, pH, etc. from various 4-20 mA transmitters. A custom ticket can also be printed to act as a receipt for the batch using the available PD920-DP Desktop Ticket Printer. Custom ticket printing is easy to set up with the free programming software.

Ticket Printing Capability

Information about the batch can be printed using the available PD920-DP desktop ticket printer and is easy to set up using the free programming software.

Simultaneous Batch Control of Two Ingredients & Ticket Printing

Simultaneous Batch Control of Two Ingredients and Ticket Printing

In this example, the ConsoliDator+ is performing two single-stage batches by reading the pulse inputs from the flowmeters and closing the solenoid valves when the batches are complete. The ConsoliDator+ is also displaying the level in the two source tanks from 4-20 mA level transmitters and indicating a low alarm situation for Tank 1. A ticket printer is connected to the ConsoliDator+ for printing critical information about the batch process. The batches can be started and stopped with the soft keys on the ConsoliDator+. The bargraphs provide a handy visual of how far along the batch is. Additional screens are available for displaying individual batches or other details.

Dual Stage Batch Control with Preclose & Preset

In this example, the ConsoliDator+ controls a full-flow valve and restricted-flow valve to provide more accurate batching of 55-gallon drums. A preset of 55.00 and preclose of 5.00 are set in the ConsoliDator+. The batch operation starts when the F1 (Start) button on the ConsoliDator+ is pressed. The full-flow valve closes at 50.00 when the preclose of 5.00 is reached. The restricted-flow valve remains open until the preset of 55.00 is reached, at which point the batch is completed. The bargraph provides a handy visual of how far along the batch is.

Multiple (Different Size) Batches Run Simultaneously Displayed on Multiple Screens

In this example, The ConsoliDator+ controls the simultaneous filling of multiple drums of different sizes using individual controls for each drum. The ConsoliDator+ can display information on multiple screens to help the operator follow along with the progress of the operation. The upper graphic depicts a screen of the overall drum filling operation, and the lower graphic depicts a screen of an individual drum filling operation. The operator scrolls through these screens with the F4 (Right Arrow) button.

Multiple Batches Run in Sequence

In this example, The ConsoliDator+ controls the filling of multiple drums sequentially using individual controls for each drum. The ConsoliDator+ is currently displaying the screen for the Caustic Drum 2 Filling operation. The operator can see the details for the other two filling operations and a view of the overall operation by pressing the F4 (Right Arrow) key.

Chemical Bulk Storage

Monitoring Level in Three Chemical Tanks

This wastewater treatment plant has installed a ConsoliDator+ PD9000 multivariable controller to monitor chemical level in gallons in three distinct tanks. The PD9000 simultaneously displays data for two Hypochlorite tanks and one Hydroxide tank, with a bargraph showing the levels of each tank. A light and horn system is integrated for high alarm notifications, while a silence button on the controller can mute the alarm. Additionally, a test button is available to check the functionality of the alarm circuitry.

Diagram of Monitoring Level in Three Chemical Tanks

In this example, the ConsoliDator+ receives 4-20 mA signals from level transmitters mounted on top of each chemical tank, which are used to display the tank levels in gallons on the PD9000 controller. Two relays within the PD9000 are set up to activate a light and horn in case of a high alarm condition. A silence button is connected to one of the PD9000’s digital inputs to mute the alarm, while a test button is connected to another digital input to verify the alarm circuitry’s functionality. The levels for all three tanks are displayed in gallons on the PD9000 screen. Additionally, three bargraphs are displayed to give a visual representation of the level in each tank.

Start Action
Pre-Close Action
Finish Action

The input for the batch is typically a total. Other process variables, such as channels setup for level, may be selected.

Preset: Target batch size.
Auto Correct (default): If the batch is not equal to the preset, the next batch automatically corrects the difference. It is important to maintain a stable flow rate at the end of the batch for the auto correct to work properly. Depending on the flow rate speed, the first batch might be slightly higher than the preset value.
Manual Correction: Uncheck Auto Correction to require manual batch size corrections. To manually correct a batch, change the preset to adjust for the difference.
Pre-close: Number of volume units prior to reaching the preset value.
Count Down: The batch starts at the preset value and counts down to zero.
Automatic: The next batch begins automatically after the programmed amount of time has elapsed.
Finish Action: Another batch can be started when batch #1 is completed.

Note: These specifications apply to the entire product series and may contain information that is not relevant to this particular model number.

Except where noted all specifications apply to operation at +25°C.

Power connections are made to a three-terminal connector for AC (-6) models and to a two-terminal connector for DC (-7) models.

90-264 VAC Power

Use three-terminal power connector as shown in the Figure below.
Unit is protected internally with 1.25 A auto-resettable fuse. 2 A max, slow blow, 250 V min UL Recognized external fuse recommended.

AC Power Connections

24 VDC Power ± 10%

Use two-terminal power connector as shown in the Figure below.
Unit is protected internally with 3.7 A auto-resettable fuse. 4 A max, slow blow, 50 V min UL Recognized external fuse recommended.

DC Power Connections

Isolated Input Signal Connections

Isolated input signal connections are made to removable screw terminal connectors, which are labeled individually on the back panel of the controller. The back panel shows the type of input card installed in each slot (The top slot is #1 and the bottom is #7). Individual inputs are referenced as PI-1 to PI-4 for pulse inputs and AI-1 to AI-4, AI-5 to AI-8, etc for analog inputs.

4-20 mA Analog Input Connections

Analog 4-20 Input connections are made to screw terminal connectors (two inputs per connector). The following figures show examples for typical applications. Each of the 4-20 mA inputs may be connected in any of the modes shown below.

Flow Meter Pulse Input Connections

Flow Meter Pulse Inputs are wired to four-terminal connectors (two inputs per connector). A square waveform is used in the illustration, but the input is capable of reading many other types of signals within the voltage and frequency ranges specified.

Flow Meter Pulse Input Connections

Digital Input Connections

Inputs are wired between terminals 1-5 of the digital inputconnector and the G terminal of the 2-position connector above the digital inputs. Normally open switch contacts may be used as shown in the figure below. The diagram also shows a Digital Input using an NPN open collector transistor output from a live signal. Logic LO or switch closure appearing across the terminals is interpreted as ON. When using an open collector transistor, a logic HI at the base (marked “B” in the figure below) will be interpreted as ON. The 2-position connector has a +5 V terminal that may be used to provide excitation to some sensors requiring more than the pull-up provided on each digital input terminal.

Digital Input from Switch Closure and Live Signal

Analog Output Connections

The following figures show examples for isolated 4-20 mA transmitter output connections. Terminal connectors are labeled individually. The analog outputs are isolated from each other and from the inputs. They are powered internally to provide an active 4-20 mA output loop. The outputs may be powered externally by connecting the positive voltage to the Ex+ terminal.

Active 4-20 mA Output Powered by ConsoliDator+

Passive 4-20 mA Output Powered by External Supply

Note: Analog inputs and outputs are isolated from each other.

Digital Output Connections

The digital outputs may be used to drive digital inputs, alarm annunciators, or other devices such as solid state relays that can be driven with low voltage signals.

Switching Inductive Loads

The ConsoliDator+ has internal circuitry to protect the relays from inductive loads, however, the use of suppressors (snubbers) is strongly recommended when switching inductive loads to prevent disrupting the microprocessor’s operation. The suppressors also prolong the life of the relay contacts. Suppression can be obtained with resistorcapacitor (RC) networks assembled by the user or purchased as complete assemblies. Refer to the following circuits for RC network assembly and installation.

AC and DC Internal Inductive Load Protection

For additional external protection choose R and C as follows:

R: 0.5 to 1 Ω for each volt across the contacts
C: 0.5 to 1 μF for each amp through closed contacts

Notes:

Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC.
RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check to confirm proper operation.
Install the RC network at the instrument's relay screw terminals. An RC network may also be installed across the load. Experiment for best results.

Use diode with a reverse breakdown voltage two to three times the circuit voltage and forward current at least as large as the load current.

Low Voltage DC Loads Protection

RC Networks Available from Precision Digital

RC networks are available from Precision Digital and should be applied to each relay contact switching an inductive load. Part number: PDX6901.

Serial Communication Connections

The RS-485 port for serial communication (using Modbus protocol) has three terminals labeled D+, D-, and G. It is strongly recommended to use three-wire shielded cable and to always connect the ground terminal to the other equipment’s ground to avoid differential voltage between the systems. Distances up to 4000 feet can be reached with RS-485. Up to 32 Modbus devices may be connected to a single RS-485 bus.

Serial Connections

Ethernet Option

The Ethernet port is available on the RJ45 connector. This allows the ConsoliDator+ to connect to a local area network. The Ethernet port option is configured using the System menu. See the PD9000 ConsoliDator+ manual for ethernet port setup details.

External Keypad Connections

Normally open pushbuttons may be wired to the digital inputs connector for use when the front panel of the controller is not accessible. The external keys may be assigned to replicate the Menu and F1-F4 function keys.
