I/O Unit

 Click graphic to enlarge
 
 
This is one of the most typical I/O configurations and contains:
  • Top Board with I/O for pump control
  • 2nd Board with host processor board and communications ports
  • 3rd Board with DSP board which manages the 2 I/O cards
  • Bottom Board with Energy/Power Monitoring & Motor Protection Board
A MultiSmart without Energy/Power Monitoring & Motor Protection Board would have the bottom slot free. Any I/O card can be put into any slot. Multiple I/O cards are connected together via the CAN connector on the DSP board.

I would extend my congratulations of one on the best I&C improvements to the water and wastewater market that I have seen in the past 10 years! From an engineer's point of view the Multismart unit has been one the best conceived water and wastewater lift and pumping station controllers on the market today.
Gregory Shofer, Project Manager, Stantec, Ann Arbor, MI

I recently got a look at the MultiSmart controllers that you’ve created, and you’ve done well to package a good set of features into an attractive design and HMI-friendly product. I look forward to continuing to cover your efforts in the future.
Walt Boyes, Editor in Chief, CONTROL magazine, Itasca, IL

MultiSmart will almost certainly play a large part in helping Thames Water achieve its goals in the near future. The fact you have put everything in a single box with ease of use, advanced intelligence and included a modern outstation means we can simplify our pump station switchboard design, save money on capital and operational expenditure as well as mitigate many of our current risks. I look forward to working closely with MultiTrode so we can get the most out of a pretty impressive product.

The City of Tavares has been using the Multismart products for just under a year. I can't imagine how we did it before; we can now monitor and control every station with speed and with the accuracy of information we require. We have also found the flow calculations invaluable for I&I studies during rain events. Our experience with the product and tech support to date has been excellent. We highly recommend Multitrode and its products. The City of Tavares have standardized on MultiTrode products and stand by them.
Brad Hayes, Utilities Director & Jerry Blair, Supervisor, City of Tavares, FL

We have tested and installed 6 Multismart pump station managers over the past 6 months and I wish to let you know that we have been very pleased with the performance and ease of installation. The field staff have saw the benefits over float controls, and over our next water plan we will be looking to convert all our stations. The specification for sewer stations now incorporates the Multismart as standard for pumping station management and control. For the past 12 years in the UK, with Scottish Water, I installed only the Siemens Enviroranger (LUC 500).This is an excellent and reliable pump controller, however, after testing Multismart, we have been pleased to find it is reliable, easier for operators to use, and offers additional monitoring capabilities over any other pump controllers I have used.
Frank McShane, Manager of Operations, East Gippsland Water Authority, Australia

The MultiSmart installation was the easiest thing I ever did
