Well level stop in Manual mode

Scenario-4 – Motor is in Auto mode, Well water level is more than low level and
if overhead tank level drops below low level
In this scenario if overhead water tank level drops below low level, it will give a high
pulse and in turn make the motor coil energized and switch on the motor. Since we
have used pulse input for overhead tank low level limit switch, the motor coil output is
used to latch the signal.

Note: The motor will be running until the overhead tank water level reaches high or
well level reaches low.

Auto Mode – Start

Scenario-5 – Motor is in Auto mode, Well water level is more than low level,
motor is running and if overhead tank level reaches high level
In this scenario if the overhead water tank level reaches high level, it will give an
open contact and in turn make the motor coil de-energized and switch off the motor.
Note: The motor will remain in stop position until the overhead tank level drops below
low level again.

Auto Mode – Stop

Scenario 6 – Motor is in Auto mode, motor is running and if Well water level
drops below low level
In this scenario if well water level drops below low level, the limit switch will give open
contact and give “FALSE” value to PLC and in turn make the motor coil de-energized
and switch off the motor.

Note: Motor will remain in stop position until the well water level is more than low
level and the overhead tank level drops below low level again.

Well level Stop – Auto Mode

In this way we have simulated various scenarios involved in an overhead water tank
level control with Auto and Manual modes.

We can simulate various simple applications like this using online PLC simulators.
