

Defining the constant parameters.



Setting up and testing the internet communication.



Teaching the user how to use the system.

Any connection or disconnection of components to the system must be done only

while the power switch is turned OFF, otherwise unpredictable damage might be

caused. However remember to shut down the software before turning off the

power switch.

7.1

Mounting the controller

The best location for mounting the DREAM will be on a wall, under a roof protected from direct

sunlight and rain. Therefore, people will usually place the DREAM in their office or in the pump

house or just in a toolshed. Usually at those places, there will be electric power available and

therefore there will be no question about how to energize the system. However, the DREAM can

also be installed outdoors attached to a metal pole by “U” clamps and powered by solar panel.

If the DREAM is DC type which means that it activates DC latching solenoids that cannot be

installed far from the commanding unit, therefore all the solenoids commanded by the DREAM

will be installed close to the controller and between the valves and the solenoids the connection

will be by command tubes. The same is true about connection of solenoids to remote I/O DC

expansion units and all kinds of RTUs, all of them activate DC latching solenoids which cannot

be installed away from the commanding unit.

If the DREAM contains local I/O AC outputs, obviously all the cables arriving from the solenoids

will have to reach the local I/O terminal boards of the DREAM. The same is true about

connection of solenoids to remote I/O AC expansion units.

Now, the question that needs to be answered is: where exactly should the various outputs and

inputs be connected to the various terminal boards? The answer is that the order of connection

is not dictated by the system, but by the installer. Inside the DREAM there is a

connections

table

that defines the connection point for each of the declared devices. So a convenient way

of working will start with defining the configuration of the system in which all the devices are

introduced, then defining the type of hardware constructing the system and then defining the

connections table. The printout of the connections table can then be used when executing the

connections in the field.

The following chapter describes the configuration process that includes the steps described

above.
