Abstract :
In this study controlled water pumping system is designed, constructed, and modeled. The programming method of control of pumping flow rate is achieved by means of integrated programmable logic controller (PLC) and frequency inverter (FI). PLC main function is to determine the required flow rate levels and the related time intervals of the flow rate hold time. (FI) is used to control the dynamic change of temperature between various operating points. The designed system shows the capability for full control of pumping flow rate from zero to maximum for any required range of time in case of increasing or decreasing the pumping flow rate. All variables of the system will be changed gradually until reaching their needed working points.The mathematical model of water pumping system with PLC and frequency control is built based on MATLAB-SIMULINK . A test rig built and an experimental study was performed. From the analysis of the experimental starting dynamic characteristics of water pumping system and modeled characteristics, it was noticed that they are very similar.
