1 Fountain LA Page 1 Waterlogix Tuesday, August 31, :11 AM Waterlogix is a customizable Off the Shelf solution for automated Water Features Design and Manufactured by UL Listed General Control Systems, Inc (GENCON) Waterlogix uses an OPLC which is an Operator Interface and PLC built into one low cost unit Base unit fits into a 4 inch square panel cutout or can be DIN rail mounted The base unit has I/O built in Typically 11 Digital Inputs and 6 Relay or Transistor Outputs Two-Line LCD Screen allows Operator interface Expansion port connects to Din Rail Mounted local or remote I/O Modules Built in program has Time Clocks for Show Start Stop, Filter, Brominator, Lighting, Pumps Each Point of control has Hand Off Auto mode controls built into OPLC Anemometer direct input to PLC Hi Speed Counter for High Wind Control Drum Controller for animation sequencing for interactive fountains Level Control for deadband and low level cutout from level inputs and make-up water solenoid output Below pictures show some possible configurations for Waterlogix controls. At the end of the section is a check list of information needed to provide a quotation for a system. Fiberglass enclosure in vault Control panel separate from MCC and lighting panel Gencon designed built and installed complete electrical power and control system

These are backpans that will be installed in Enclosures and Waterlogix Cut into the doors This system has Main Breaker GFCI

This allows any water that enters conduits to harmlessly drain to the Vault floor.

MCC separate panel All In One 120/208V 3Phase In Steel NEMA 4 CSD Cabinet Wind, Level, MCC and Lighting all in one cabinet Gencon Installation Standard Galvanized Hoffman Wireway with drains All conduits go to Wireway and Control Panel entry is through bottom only. This allows any water that enters conduits to harmlessly drain to the Vault floor. Many competitors penetrate the top of control panels which jeopardize the watertight integrity of the panel LCD Display -Each Component has an H-O-A Mode screen Which eliminates the need for panel switches.

Note the Solid State Control Relay Boards (Opto). These are used for systems with high count switching. Transistor outputs switch Logic Side of Opto Modules. Usually we use 12VAC outputs for solenoids. This allows use of a 15VAC Pool and Spa Transformer for protection. 15VAC power distribution and fuses are provided on Din Rail (Not Shown in Picture) (3) 480VAC 30HP Pump MCC Separate 480VAC VFD panel with reactors. Run commands and Analog Speed Controls from Waterlogix Controller I/O Note Aluminum Backpan for Heat Sink We recommend using an Aircoditioner when Large VFD's are used, depending on ambient temperatures Heat Exchangers could be used.
