Advanced simulation of water level for prototype automated pumping station

In this paper the process of analysis and improvement of a prototype model of a pumping station is described, which is used to build, validate and improve the programming and visualization of the system (SCADA system). The original solution was extremely good for the analysis of the control system, but mechanical components of the model were not sufficiently processed. In described improvements the main issue was mechanical relations of incoming and outgoing water flow, and result differences in water level, which were provided manually in the original solution. The new solution is more advanced and better from the point of view of Mechatronics, since it can give a more real image of a dynamical state in the pumping station. Furthermore, the new solution conducts automated simulation of water level directly from the same PLC device which controls the operation of the pumps, so from that point of view the system is well integrated.
