Using Observant Global's automation capabilities, certain control devices can be automatically started and stopped based on threshold values from a sensor. For example, you can automate a pump based on water levels in a tank so that it runs when the tank level drops below a low threshold e.g. 50% and turns off when it reaches a high threshold e.g. 90%.
Typical Applications
Global's automation is best suited for situations where a fast response time isn’t required, such as tanks that take at least a couple of hours to fill. This is because the automation is cloud based and it takes some time for sensor readings to get updated to the cloud. Contact our support team to find out if our automation can meet your application's response time requirements.
Supported Devices
The devices that support automation are:
- Electric Pump Controller
- Pumps, Pivots, Laterals or Relays via the Logged Output Device
- Yaskawa VFD Intelligent Pump Controller
- Macquarrie Murphy TEC-10
- Valves via the C3 Latching Solenoid Router Card
