3.  Controllers like this one alternate which pumps in the lift station are active to maintain the desired flow rate and water level.  Other functions include ventilation control and alarms for high water or odor levels.  Many controllers are networked together and there is no industry-standard network protocol.

4. Modbus vs. DNP3 Project motivation: MPE needs to allow for communication between network nodes that are using these different protocols.

5. Four-Semester Plan  Device Build  User Interface  Initialization Phase II  Network Communications  Security Phase I

6. Key Specs  Operates between -10 and 80 degrees Celsius  Protects against surges of 120 V  MCU clock has a backup battery that can power the MCU for 12 hours if power is lost  Sends alarm to master device when power is lost  Takes Ethernet input and gives Ethernet output  Allows user to view and change networking parameters  Logs 20,000 events, even when power is lost, with 98% fidelity  Records date and time of each event to millisecond accuracy  Notifies master device of all events with 95% fidelity

13. Noise Due to SPI Lines

14.  To reduce the noise, we took three measures 1. We placed pull-up resistors close to the microcontroller 2. We used large-value resistors for the pull-ups and large-value bypass capacitors 3. We isolated the MOSI and MISO lines with copper ground

26. Power Subsystem

27. Power Supply Requirements Takes in 24 V DC  This supply is shared with other components in the lift station control panel  This is a low voltage in comparison to other devices being used in industrial applications  The low voltage bypasses some of the testing requirements for meeting UL standards

28. Power Supply Requirements Surge Protection  Must handle currents up to 80 A  Must correct irregular voltages  Multiple devices are connected in a shunt configuration for combined benefits

29. Power Supply Requirements Type of DeviceLifetime-number of surges Response Time Transient Voltage Suppression Diode -1 ps Metal Oxide Varistor1000 surges1 ns Zener Diodeinfinite1 us Gas discharge tube20 surges5 us

30. Input Surge Protection

31. Power Supply Requirements Must be fed through a DIN rail mount  All devices in the lift station control panel attach to one rail  Mount also serves as chassis ground for added surge protection

32. DC/DC Converter  Voltage is stepped down to 3.3 V and then fed to the power plane  To conserve power, a passive switching regulator was chosen  Our configuration is a common circuit with extensive application notes
