Plug-and-play modules for BlueLinQ Pro controller

Refurbishing or designing a new sewage pumping station control panel is made much simpler if common controls and interfaces can be used. Operators quickly become familiar with the system, saving them time; this applies equally to any contractors used to monitor and respond to alarms. The BlueLinQ Pro controller can be used to operate and monitor up to six pumps including valves, mixer, flushing valves etc. If the capacity of a pumping station needs to be increased, it is a straightforward task of installing additional IO modules.

BlueLinQ modules

All Input and Output modules (IO) are designed to integrate seamlessly with the BlueLinQ Pro controller and are simple to install and commission. In addition, the small and compact design of the modules enables the easy expansion of the equipment controller and delivery of a reliable and flexible solution.

Digital and analog IO modules, as well as temperature and leak detection units, can be combined as necessary to complete the installation. All modules have built-in LED indication for easy identification of signal status.

BlueLinQ DI-12: 12 isolated digital inputs which can be used for digital signals such as high-level float, low level float, overflow sensor etc.

BlueLinQ DO-8: 8 digital output signals expand the capacity of the pump controller for signals such as pump start/stop, open/close valves, reset motor protector etc.

BlueLinQ AI-6: Up to 6 analog inputs which can be used for connecting sensor signals such level, motor current, pressure etc.

BlueLinQ TI-6: Analog Input for connecting up to 6 temperature signals x 9 modules.

BlueLinQ AO-6: 6 analog output signals such as level, pressure, flow etc can be transmitted over 4-20 mA.

BlueLinQ LI-6: Up to 6 isolated analog inputs for connecting to leak detection sensors on the pumps and mixers.

Combined or separate alarms can be set up for each module with a maximum of 32 modules in total.

Applications
  • Commercial waste disposal from toilets
    Commercial wastewater from toilets comprises all sewage water flushed from toilets on commercial, industrial or public properties.

  • Commercial wastewater without toilet waste
    Commercial wastewater without toilet waste includes drainage and grey wastewater.

  • Flood control
    Climate change is challenging natural disaster prevention. When water runs off the land in large quantities, Sulzer’s comprehensive range of pumps provide reliable, cost effective and efficient solutions for flood control.

  • Inlet pumping station
    Inlet pumping stations are somewhat similar to large terminal pumping stations. Depending on the depth of the incoming sewer, the lifting heads can range from around 2 up to 30 meters. To prevent hydraulic shock loads, which negatively impact the biological process, the stations often make use of variable-speed drives and/or several pumps in parallel.

  • Network pumping station
    Network pumping stations collect municipal wastewater from residential homes and communal schemes. Installed in dry or wet wells, the pumps deliver the effluent to a terminal pumping station. Since most pumping stations are not equipped with screens, the pumps must cope with difficult materials such as fibrous sanitary and packaging items.

  • Outlet pumping stations
    Outlet pumping stations are required when the level of the treatment plant is lower than that of the receiving water. This is especially true when discharging into a river, which can rise during heavy rain or flood periods, or into the sea, where the level varies with the tide. Outlet pumping stations may also be needed to compensate for increasing frictional losses in the outgoing pipe at high flows, for example in long sea outfall pipes.

  • Storm water pumping station
    During heavy rainfall, storm water pumping stations deliver large volumes of water at low head to receiving surface waters or sewers. Having long been a part of flood management, they are increasingly involved in climate adaptation strategies for low-lying coastal cities.

  • Storm water retention tank
    Storm water retention tanks act as a buffer during periods of heavy rainfall. This is increasingly important as areas become more developed, with hard surfaces such as roofs, roads and parking lots that cannot absorb the rainwater. When storm water retention tanks are implemented, gravity or pumps can be utilized to provide a reduced continuous flow into the sewer system. Sulzer expertise makes it possible to avoid peak hydraulic loads and to limit the stresses on existing sewer systems.

  • Terminal pumping station
    Terminal pumping stations receive municipal wastewater from network pumping stations. Installed in dry or wet wells, the pumps forward the medium to a treatment plant for final purification. Due to the lack of screens at most pumping stations, difficult materials such as fibrous sanitary and packaging items are a constant threat to uptime.
