Which system receives the ultrasonic signals that measure filter water levels?

The SCADA system, which stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is responsible for monitoring and controlling industrial processes, including those in water treatment facilities. When it comes to measuring filter water levels using ultrasonic signals, the SCADA system plays a crucial role.

This system can receive data from various sensors, including ultrasonic level sensors that provide real-time measurements of water levels in filters. The SCADA system processes this data, allowing operators to visualize the information, make informed decisions, and manage the operations effectively. The integration of these signals into the SCADA system facilitates alarms, trend monitoring, and reporting, making it essential for efficient water management and operational oversight in surface water treatment systems.

While other systems like PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) can control processes based on input signals, and telemetry systems can transmit data over distances, the SCADA system specifically excels at integrating and managing the data from multiple sensors, including those that monitor filter levels. The HMI (Human-Machine Interface) system interfaces with operators but relies on the SCADA system to display and process the data it presents.
