Introduction

This manual assumes that the reader has used and
understands basic Internet browser operation and
has used a Microsoft© Windows Operating System
GUI (Graphical User Interface), such as Windows
2000©, Windows NT©, Windows ME©, or Windows
XP©. This device uses Windows CE-as an
operating system (OS). Windows CE© is a
component-based version of the Windows
operating system designed for embedded devices,
such as PDAs or touch-panel displays.

This manual also assumes the user has some basic
knowledge of pumps and pumping systems.

Note: Button names are shown enclosed in square
brackets, such as [Button], whenever the actual key
or button graphic is not displayed.

The interface is displayed at the pumping station on
the HMI. Users make selections of the options and
enter data using a stylus or hands, and tapping
directly on the HMI’s color, touch-screen panel.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard

Only use a stylus or clean hands on the HMI
touch-panel device to access screens and
enter data. Use of any other tool, sharp object,
or contact with dirt or chemicals can cause
damage to the screen.

Failure to follow these instructions indicates a
potentially hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, may result in equipment damage and
void any warranty.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard

To Clean the equipment:

Disconnect the equipment from any AC outlet,
use a clean damp cloth. Do not use liquid or
spray detergents for cleaning.

Failure to follow these instructions indicates a
potentially hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, may result in equipment damage and
void any warranty.

HMI Overview

A web-based version of the application is
operational on the HMI and permits the user to
supervise the pumping station’s operation remotely
at any time from any internet-accessible computer.
The web-based screens are identical to the screens
viewed on the HMI. Web Reports can also be
viewed and printed by users who access the HMI
interface via the internet.

Data and information is exchanged with the
pumping station’s master controller, also called a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), located
physically in the NEMA 4 enclosure. The
communication exchanges are made over Ethernet.
A primary PLC is responsible for the real-time
control of the main pumps, while additional PLC(s)
are used to control auxiliary items. The HMI
provides a graphical user interface (GUI) which
permits the pumping station to be monitored, and
allows the controls or variables to be changed when
necessary. All monitoring and control information
can be sent to the pumping station remotely over
the Internet using the web-based version. This
basic communication between the remote user, the
HMI, and the pumping station is illustrated below.

This manual is written for Flownet Technicians and
is an introduction to the Flowtronex PACE HMI

uman Machine Interface). The HMI is a browser-

(H
based system which allows the user to interact with
the settings and reports of the pumping system. This
manual only covers the HMI aspect of the system.

Figure 1: Basic Operation

TYPICAL PUMPING OPERATION

Several common control variables including flow,
pressure, and level are used for operating an
automatic pumping system. Pump starts and stops
are based on the changes in these control
variables. A VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) is
used to regulate the speed of the lead pump,
replacing the function of a control valve. Pressure
recovery can be made smoothly, resulting in power
and cost savings.

When pressure is used as the key process variable,
the VFD pumping system constantly monitors
pressure to maintain the required demand. Pump
starts and stops are based on the changes in the
system pressure. For example, a pumping system
with one Pressure Maintenance (PM) pump and two
interchangeable main pumps may be grouped into
several different combos (combination of pumps)
that start or stop a specific pump, or a sequence of
pumps, according to defined setpoints.

Each combo has an individual start pressure that
references a setpoint pressure and a start delay
time. At very low demand, the PM pump maintains
the setpoint pressure. Once the demand becomes
greater than the PM pump can handle, the first
combo is activated. The lead pump in this combo is
controlled by the VFD. As demand increases,
additional lag pumps are added, or a different
combination of pumps is activated.

Other configurations are also possible. Consult your
Flownet Technician for proper operation of your
system.

Touch-Screen Panel Operation

This Flowtronex® Pace HMI device manual
describes the operation of the touch-panel display,
located on the enclosure door of the control unit of
the pumping station.

• Use a stylus to tap the buttons or fields
when using the touch-screen panel.

• Use the Enhanced Key Pad to enter
text or numbers in blank fields. Tap
and hold the stylus in a blank field to
open the Enhanced Key Pad pop up
screen.

• A USB Keyboard may also be used
instead of the Enhanced Key Pad.
Plug in the USB Keyboard into the
back of the display.

•

Danger: Electric Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before opening any
electrical enclosure. Any procedure requiring

Basic Screen Layout

The application uses a three-part structure for all
screens:

1. The Navigation Bar, located on the far left of
the screen, displays buttons to tap which will
navigate to other key areas of the application. The
content of the navigation bar changes depending on
what type of user is logged in.

2. The Header, located at the top center of the
screen, displays the screen name in the banner,
and (depending on the buttons selected on the
right) the date and time, or the pumping station’s
current flow and pressure readings.

NOTE: A flashing header is indicative of a system
fault.

3. The Main Window, located in the center of the
screen, displays one or more panes of information
about the pumping station. A grayed-out field in this
window is read-only. Other fields (with a few
exceptions) may be edited.

Figure 4: Basic Screen Layout

User Types

There are different types of users recognized by the
system:

Guest: Only operation screens are accessible in
view-only mode. Users are logged in as a Guest by
default.

Supervisor: End-User configurable setup and
operation screens are accessible. Supervisors must
log-in using a password.

Technician: All setup and operation screens are
accessible. Technicians must log-in using a
password. See the Technician Guide for additional
functions.

Note: Some values require you to set the “Enable
Edit” checkbox before you can change the values.
This is a precautionary measure intended to
prevent unwanted and accidental register value
writes. These values are available to technicians
only. Values normally accessed at the Supervisor
level or lower are not affected.

Touch Panel Log In

by tapping on it.

Configuring the Data Shown on the Screen

In technician mode, you can change the data the
screen shows. Click on “Configure Data”.

Figure 9: Configure Data

Check the box next to the data you want to show.
Not all data is available for all systems. Use the
slider bar on the right to adjust the graph scaling to
a value that makes it most comfortable to read.
100% means the graph scale is the same as the
analog scaling max value. 110% means the graph
scaling is 110% of the analog max scaling for the
channel. The exception here is the KW reading,

which is an absolute number because KW is read
directly, rather than scaled.

Click “Channels” to access the calibration screen
directly from the “Configure Data” screen.

This screen is accessible also from “Setup”­>”Options Setup” and is discussed in detail in that
section.

Click “Technical Overview” to access details of
