GPRS Pipeline Monitoring in a Water Supply System
 
Background
In water supply/distribution systems, it is important to monitor the pipeline pressure and water flow. With previous solutions, users needed to do handle some tasks manually, such as reading meters, or report information by telephone. Users needed a remote monitoring system that can automatically collect meter readings and send the data in real time to the water company's control center for information analysis. In addition, wireless communication makes it easier to service a wider monitoring area.  
System Requirements
Real-time monitoring and alarm system to monitor pipeline conditions
GPRS communication to service a wider monitoring region
Simple structure and reliable performance to reduce maintenance effort
 
Moxa's Solution

Moxa's ioLogik W5340 Active GPRS RTU plays an important role in pipeline monitoring systems. The ioLogik W5340 features GPRS communication, which is the best choice for monitoring a distributed system spread out over a wide area. The ioLogik W5340 comes with 4 analog inputs that can be connected with flow meters and pressure sensors to monitor the condition of the pipeline. With the built-in Click&Go function, only a few clicks are needed to turn pumps on and off. If cracks appear in the pipeline or an accident occurs, real-time alarm messages can be sent to the control center. In fact, engineers anywhere outside the control center can still get alarm messages via SMS and then take immediate action.

The ioLogik W5340 supports Moxa's Active OPC Server, which not only solves the dynamic IP issue in GPRS communication, but is also the best middleware available for communicating with SCADA systems. Active OPC Server features a non-polling structure and offers "active" (or "push") communication so that SCADA systems can get real-time information. The all-in-one design of the ioLogik W5340 combines a GPRS modem, I/O controller, and data logger function in one device, which not only saves development costs and maintenance effort, but also reduces the chance of failures that could occur when using separate devices.
