 In full-automatic control mode,after pressing “Start” button,the system will detect the water level of first

neutralization pond automatically.When the liquidometer(LIT03) detect that the water level reaches preset height,then it

will enter automatic circulation process:close electric valve(AV01),open electric valve (AV02),and start air blower(B01)

and circulating pump(P01) to aerate and circulation stir.After stiring uniform,it will start acid metering pump(P02) or

alkali metering pump(P03).When the PH value detected by AIT01 satisfies effluent standard（6≤PH≤9）,then stop P02 or

P03,open AV01 and close AV02,then let off the qualified water to the second neutralization pond.If the water level

detected by LIT04 reach the preset height,then it will detect the PH value of AIT02 automatically.If it satisfies

6≤PH≤9,then close AV04 and open AV03.Let off the water until the water level detected by LIT04 is lower than lower

limit,then close AV03.If it doesn’t satisfy the requirment,then it will close AV03 and open AV04 to continue processing.

When detecting the water level of the first neutralization pond lower than lower limit,then stop B01 and P01,herein this

process finish.When the water level of the first neutralization pond reach preset height,then continue to next process.

In the circulation process,LIT01 and LIT02 real time monitor the liquid level of acid storage jar and alkali storage jar.If

it is lower than lower limit,then it will show alarm information.

 In manual control mode,every process is controled separately by manual according to the value of AIT01 and AIT02

instead of being triggered by the water level of neutralization pond.

3.2 System Analysis

According to project requirment,this control system can be consist of upper computer,PLC and instrumentation.

PLC is mainly used to sample data(data of liquidometer and PH meter),control device(air blower,circulating pump,electric

valve).Here we use HMI as upper computer to communicate with PLC by RS-232C.

The configuration and parameters are shown in following table.

 Upper computer system configuration:

Software Kinco HMIware software

Hardware One PC with Windows XP/Vista/7 operation system and Kinco HMIware software.

One MT series HMI（Herein we choose MT5320T）

One PLC（Herein we choose Kinco CPU306EX）

One DC24V power supply for HMI

One AC220V power supply for PLC

One specified USB download cable（Herein we choose USB port for downloading program）

One RS232C cross cable for communication between HMI and PLC.（Herein we choose

RS232C communication）
