Remote sewage pump station — telemetry integration.

A remote sewage pump station brought under telemetry — the existing Flygt FGC duty/assist pump controller integrated to the master SCADA so operators can see, start, stop and adjust the station from anywhere instead of driving out to site.

Challenge

The remote sewage pump station ran on a stand-alone Flygt FGC duty/assist pump controller doing its job locally — but the master station had no visibility of it. Operators couldn’t see pump status, wet-well level or alarms, and any change to setpoints or any pump start/stop meant a truck roll out to a remote, semi-rural site.

Solution

Goto Engineering installed a telemetry-enabled control enclosure alongside the existing Flygt FGC323 pump controller. The Flygt unit stays as the safety-rated local control of the pumps — the new panel reads its status and writes commands back through its auxiliary IO, then backhauls everything to the master SCADA over cellular telemetry.

  • Existing Flygt FGC323 duty/assist pump controller retained as primary local control
  • New outdoor enclosure with telemetry RTU, cellular modem, 24 V supply and surge protection
  • Hardwired interface for pump status, wet-well level, run hours and alarms back to telemetry
  • Remote control of start / stop and duty selection from the master station
  • Pole-mounted antenna for reliable cellular coverage on a semi-rural site

Outcome

Operators at the master station now see pump status, alarms, wet-well level and run hours from the remote pump station live — and can start, stop or adjust the duty cycle without sending a truck out. The Flygt FGC stays as the trusted local control of the pumps; the telemetry layer sits cleanly on top.
