Trash-rack cleaning and gate control

Control the intake, trash-rack cleaning, water level and gate functions as one coordinated waterway.

Manage the waterway safely

Trash-rack cleaningMatch cleaning cycles and fault messages to actual demand.
Level controlManage water levels using clear setpoints and limits.
High waterCoordinate gate and trash-rack functions methodically for exceptional water levels.

Link civil waterworks and control engineering

The trash-rack cleaner and gate are not independent stand-alone systems: rack condition, water level, flow and flood conditions influence one another.

We integrate the functions into central operating logic and can connect spatially separated structures through suitable communications systems.

Practical implementation

Robust sequences for intake and gate

The control system provides transparent automatic sequences and makes key states available for operation and remote monitoring.

Intake: Record rack condition, cleaning activity and alarms.
Gate: Coordinate level-control and positioning functions.
Protection: Define limits and high-water sequences clearly.
