Pressure control: This mode focuses on maintaining a specific pressure level within the system. It is ideal for applications where pressure regulation is paramount, such as in water supply systems or hydraulic systems.

Flow control: Flow control mode is employed to regulate the rate at which the fluid is pumped through the system. It is essential in applications where maintaining a consistent flow rate is critical, such as in chemical manufacturing or irrigation systems.

Level control: Level control mode is employed to manage the height or volume of liquid in a reservoir or tank. It is commonly used in wastewater treatment plants, industrial storage tanks, and sewage systems. 

Multimode - all VFD pumps: In this mode, all pumps are equipped with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). VFDs allow for precise control of pump speed, making it ideal for applications where fine-tuning flow rates and pressure is essential. This mode provides high efficiency and flexibility.

Traditional mode - One pump VFD, other DOL pumps: This configuration combines the advantages of a VFD pump with the simplicity of direct-on-line (DOL) pumps. Typically, one pump is equipped with a VFD for precise control, while the others operate using a traditional DOL starter. This mode balances control and cost-effectiveness.

DOL Mode - All DOL Pumps: In this mode, all pumps operate using direct-on-line (DOL) starters, which provide basic on/off control without speed variation. It's a cost-effective choice for applications where precise control is less critical.

Configuration functions for pump station that permits:

•  Users to customize pump parameters like pump station name, number of pumps, process mode of pumps, pump combination and pump speed.

• Communication with all pumps in the field that are run by DOL/VFD motors by configuring the pump settings and collecting the pump operation status.

Pumping functions of the pump that supports:

• Precise management of emptying and filling operations by comparing actual fluid level with the set fluid level for level control.

• Uniform fluid level distribution across multiple tanks and reservoirs by providing ON/OFF command to the pumps for level control.

• Maintenance of flow in the network for flow control.

• Stabilization of pressure in the network for pressure control.

• Closed loop control of pressure and flow using PID control.

• Pump turn off/on sequence generation based on demand.

Auxiliary functions of the pump that include:

• Cleaning up of the pump using antijam functionality.

• Capability to calculate and monitor energy consumed and saved.

• Calculation of pump flow rate using pump head flow and pressure flow rate curve characteristics.

• Computation of maintenance schedule for the pump.

• Offering analog and binary protection mechanisms to safeguard pumps against operational risks.

• Conserving energy by enabling pumps to enter sleep mode during periods of low demand.

• Soft fill functionality that ensures gradual pump start up to prevent water hammer and system stress.

Simulation functions of the library that help in system test and validation consists of:

• DOL (Direct-on-line pumps) simulation

• VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) simulation

• Pumptank simulation for tank behavior.
