Introduction The purpose of this guide is to provide instruction on the various methods of achieving positive shutdown of a submersible turbine based on predetermined scenarios. The methods discussed will include the use of relays, Turbine Pump Interface (TPI) and various other means of programming the EVO(TM) Series Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) console including Rules, Logic Conditions and settings within specific applications.

Use of Programmed Inputs - TPI and Relays The following illustrations will help understand how the programming of each method can create a positive shutdown given a programmed input under the submersible turbine programming of either turbine pump interface or relay. Turbine Pump Interface (TPI) Turbine Pump Interface (TPI) is a communication protocol and parameter programming subset that allows the EVO™...

The TPI example below shows the controller programmed with six inputs: • AC Input module- hook signals (hook isolation) for dispenser 1-2, 3-4 unleaded. • 4-20mA- LS500 line leak transducer (requirement for Electronic Line Leak Detection (ELLD)) • Provides ability to energize turbine for testing and disable turbine in event of ELLD alarm (positive shutdown) •...

Relay Module The relay modules have two styles: a 10-amp module and a 2-amp module. The 2-amp module is a non-intrinsically safe module that has 8 identical 2-amp SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) output relays. The 10-amp module has 6 identical 10-amp SPDT output relays. Each channel has a fuse and three terminals.

Shutdown On Alarm On EVO 200/400/600/6000, the Pumps section of Configuration is used to configure pumps operated using either TPI or Relays. Each Pump has a section called "Shutdown On Alarm", by adding alarms in this section specific sensors or even specific alarms from a given sensor can be assigned to perform positive shutdown on each pump.

Logic Conditions For the purpose of positive shutdowns, logic conditions use a status based approach typically combined with OR logic. This approach allows the console to be configured with multiple devices and multiple alarms under one condition and ties these status conditions to one or more programmed outputs.

Condition Output • The condition output examples show both options of a relay module or TPI being used. Typically, you would only use one or the other method (TPI or Relay) for submersible motor control. • Condition outputs are programmed outcomes based on the status of any programmed condition inputs.
Rules Engine Rules are another method of programming the EVO™ for positive shutdown. Rules are event based in comparison to conditions that are status based. Using rules for positive shutdown has limitations. Rules as programmed operate independently from one another and for this reason can lead to undesired results.

Application Specific Shutdown Positive shutdown programming is simplified within the Electronic Line Leak Detection (ELLD) application. The ability to provide positive shutdown is simply selecting Yes or No under the programming parameter sections of the specific applications. ELLD The ELLD (Electronic Line Leak Detection) positive shutdown for a 3 GPH gross Line leak fail is hardcoded into the software as this is an EPA requirement.
