Water Supply Problem in the Context of Global Warming
The increase in water consumption by the population and industry is directly related to the problems caused by global warming. The precipitation situation in the world is not improving, leading to serious issues in many countries.
UN Report and the Future of Water Resources
Recently, the UN presented a report predicting that by 2025, a significant portion of humanity will require additional sources of water. This issue is becoming increasingly relevant and demands urgent measures for conserving natural resources. This problem is particularly acute in China, where rapid population growth and industrial development threaten water resources.
Situation in Jiangxi Province
Jiangxi Province is in a critical situation due to the lack of water resources. For instance, in the city of Jii'an, the population has grown to 4.6 million people. To address this issue, the Hedun water purification station has increased its water purification capacity for the city from 40,000 to 60,000 tons per day.
Solutions from Delta Electronics
Delta Electronics Corporation, which has significant experience in developing automation systems, presented a technological solution for the integration of the second phase of the Hedun station. This solution is based on the latest high-tech Delta Electronics AH 500 programmable logic controller.
Advantages of the Delta Electronics AH 500 Controller
The Delta Electronics AH 500 is a high-performance device featuring a high-resolution touchscreen display that shows all operational processes in real time.
- The controller is equipped with two state-of-the-art processors that provide high data processing speeds (over 3000 steps per second).
- The maximum number of processed processes amounts to 256,000 steps.
- The ISP-based interface allows for convenient working with the PLC.
- The integrated interface simplifies the configuration of communication networks.
Additional Functions and Capabilities
The controller also features fiber optic communication, allowing for the connection of remote input and output modules. If there is a need to replace a module or purify water without stopping the controller's operation, the Delta Electronics AH 500 provides hot-swapping functionality.
The DOP-B system's touchscreen monitoring is equipped with USB ports that simplify the processing of data for process control. Thanks to the integrated SCADA system, reliable and continuous process management can be performed without interruptions.
