Urban Pipe Network Water Supply Dispatching System

Foreword Due to the geographical dispersion of urban water supply, the requirements for acquisition and control functions are stable and the safety requirements are high. Generally, the original scheduling method of manual meter reading, telephone number reporting, and on-site manual operation is adopted. The number of collected information is small, the processing is slow, the transmission is late, and the scheduling is in a low-level stage, so as to ensure that there is no shortage of water and maintain normal operation, and that there is no optimal scheduling. In the event of an explosion or other accident, it reflected the expansion of the dull loss.

The urban water supply dispatch monitoring system can monitor and control the remote on-site operating equipment to realize the data transmission of pipe network pressure, water flow, etc., and the control of the water output of various water plants so as to facilitate timely understanding and control of remote production and operation conditions. Failure rate, shorten repair time, reduce the number of water stops. The data collection terminal of each pipe network monitoring point can automatically collect real-time data such as pipeline pressure and water flow. The information is transmitted to the water company's dispatch center. The dispatch center can analyze the transmitted data to find out the location of the failure. When a remote fails, the problem can be solved in the shortest possible time.

At present, the data communication used in the tap water supply dispatch monitoring system can be simply divided into two categories: wired and wireless, among which the wired communication mainly includes the installation of optical cables, cables or leased telecommunication telephone lines, X.25, DDN, ADSL, etc. while the wireless Including ultra-short wave communications, spread spectrum communications, satellite communications, GSM SMS / GPRS communications.

In urban water supply dispatch monitoring systems, because of the wide distribution, number, and distance of individual monitoring points of pipeline networks, individual stations are also located in remote locations. Therefore, it is difficult and costly to set up optical cables (cables) to lease dedicated telephone lines to the telecommunications sector. Many telephone lines have to be applied, and some monitoring points are difficult to reach. In addition, it takes a long telephone dialing process when the telephone line is used, which is slow and the operating cost is high and it is not practical. In short, the monitoring system adopts wired communication, which has a long construction period, is difficult to work, and has high operating costs. It is inconvenient for large-scale use. In contrast, wireless communication is very flexible. It has less investment, short construction period, and maintenance. Simple, cost-effective advantages.

In the monitoring system, wireless communication methods mainly include: ultra-short wave (230MHz) wireless data transmission, spread spectrum, satellite communication, GSM digital cellular communication system, etc. Among them, satellite communication is used only in some special fields due to its high communication cost. It is popularized; while the spread-spectrum communication technology has a high rate, it can only be transmitted within the range of sightlines, and its application is also limited. The adoption of ultra-short wave data transmission radio as the transmission channel has the advantages of flexible networking, easy expansion, easy maintenance, and low operating costs. However, since the system operates at 230 MHz and uses common indirect modulation digital radio stations, this results in the system being vulnerable to external interference. Low communication rate, high bit error rate, small amount of data transfer, and small signal coverage.

After a comparative analysis, we chose China Mobile's GPRS system as the data communication platform for the water supply dispatch monitoring system. At present, the GSM network has been built by the telecommunications sector for many years and its coverage has been continuously expanded. It has become a mature, stable and reliable communication network, especially the newly launched GPRS data service of China Mobile. The GSM/GPRS system provides a wide area wireless IP connection. Constructing tap water supply dispatch monitoring system on mobile communication company's GPRS service platform to realize wireless data transmission of pipe network monitoring point has the advantages of making full use of existing network, shortening construction period and reducing construction cost, and convenient installation and maintenance of equipment. .

system structure

In order to meet the scheduling and command of the production process, a reliable SCADA system is needed. It is generally composed of enterprise production dispatching command center, water plant, pipe network pressure measurement point, meter reading telemetry and so on. Its functions generally include: data acquisition control functions, data transmission functions, data display and analysis functions, alarm functions, storage, retrieval, query functions of historical data, report display and printing functions, remote control functions, and network functions.

The pipe network measuring point SCADA automation control system mainly monitors the decentralized pipe network measuring point site. The system adopts two-level control. The first level is the central control room of the SCADA system, and the second level is the remote measurement and control terminal GPRS RTU of the pipe network measuring point. The central control office is responsible for monitoring, management and control. The site GPRS RTU is responsible for the data collection of multiple pipe network measuring point sites, wireless transmission, and automatic control of pipe network measurement point pressure.

The dispatch center monitors the pipe network monitoring points in real time and directs the water output of each water plant. It is the system's information collection and control center. The dispatch center collects the data information of each site, and stores, analyzes, summarizes, or prints such information. Through data analysis, timely alarm information is given or a control command is sent to the site to control the operation of the site equipment so as to realize the scheduling and management of the entire system.

GPRS RTU (Remote Measurement and Control Terminal) is the basic component of the SCADA system. Acquisition, control and communication are the basic functions he has. For enterprises with distributed, distributed, and networked features, the establishment of a SAS/SCADA system is inseparable from the GPRS RTU products. The SCADA system in the urban water supply integrated automation system must have and is a very important function: to monitor the flow, pressure, and other changes in the water supply network throughout the city in real time and accurately. The GPRS RTU products for pipe network pressure measurement are designed for this purpose. Because the pipe network pressure measurement technology is simple, there is no need to control, spread widely, so it is required that such GPRS RTU products have the characteristics of simple structure, reliable performance and low price.


1. Pipe network monitoring point Pipe network monitoring point: Each monitoring point collects data such as pressure and flow through the data acquisition module and connects to the GPRS transparent data transmission terminal through the RS232 (RS485) interface. Devices without a standard communication interface can also be used. Our company has RS6011G GPRS RTU with analog and digital acquisition capabilities. The embedded data processor is embedded in the GPRS transparent data transmission terminal. The data is processed, encapsulated and sent to the GSM network.
