RTC Range Example

At its simplest, RTC for a network consists of a single range and rules.

The following example shows the RTC for starting a pump when the level in a chamber exceeds a defined depth.

 

Under this example, the pump will be switched on when the level at node D equals or exceeds 20 mAD. When the level at D falls below 20 mAD the pump will be switched off by default.

The scenario is defined by adding components to a fixed pump regulator in the RTC Window Editor.

 

Component	Parameters	Effect
RANGE 1	Range type: Z - height above datum Location node: D Minimum: 20 m Maximum:	TRUE if level at node D is greater than or equal to 20 mAD
RULE 1	Condition: _default_ Rule type: OFF	Default status of pump is OFF
RULE 2	Condition: RANGE 1 Rule type: ON	Switch pump ON if RANGE 1 is TRUE

 

1. Range 1: Defines Node D as the control point with a minimum value of 20 m

2. Rule 1: Unless subsequent rules are TRUE, the pump will be set to the default status of OFF

3. Rule 2: Switches the pump ON if the level at node D is at or above 20 m
