In this article, we introduce a novel method of quantifying pump station energy efficiency. For an automobile, everyone is familiar with Miles-Per-Gallon or MPG. Today, we are going to introduce an equivalent measure of pump station efficiency that every water utility Telemetry/SCADA system should include: GPK. Automobile Efficiency… Have you ever calculated the average gas mileage for your … Read More →
In most cases, EtherMeter users will collect flow rate data via the device’s digital Ethernet and Serial communication channels. Digital communication protocols include MODBUS (TCP/RTU/ASCII), DF1, and EtherNet/IP™. However, in some instances, the user may wish to interface to 4-20mA analog signals that are proportional to flow. Replacement of Sensus ACK-PAK instrumentation is just one possible … Read More →
The EtherMeter is the only known device that can calculate, transmit, and display rate-of-flow and totalization from all the major encoder-based water meters. And this fact can come in handy for a multitude of applications. For example, there are often occasions where bulk water users wish to visually monitor flow rate through a variable speed pump or … Read More →
