SWYCH FOR
WATER & WASTEWATER
Drop a MD1/2 microPLC into an orphaned pump station — wireless Modbus visibility for a fraction of a SCADA cabinet.
THE OLD WAY
- 01.A full SCADA cabinet costs $15,000+ per site — impossible to justify on every small lift station.
- 02.Unmonitored pump stations risk overflow, EPA fines, and unplanned callouts.
- 03.Cellular RTUs carry ongoing SIM costs and rely on carrier coverage in remote catchments.
THE SWYCH WAY
- 01.Drop-in MD1/2 microPLC: Reads your existing Modbus flow meters, level sensors, and pump relays — bridges data wirelessly to the nearest networked site.
- 02.Native Modbus RTU/TCP: Integrates with your existing SCADA via RS-485 or Ethernet — no middleware or gateway software needed.
- 03.Private LoRa/HaLow link: Bridges gaps where cellular is too expensive or unreliable — no SIM fees.
- 04.Air-gapped capable: Keeps data on your own network with zero cloud exposure — important for council and utility security policies.
DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS
🌊
Flow Metering
Connect a Modbus pulse-output flow meter — the MD1/2 microPLC relays totaliser data wirelessly to SCADA.
⚠️
Pump Run/Trip Status
Wire the starter's run and fault relays to digital inputs for remote visibility of every pump.
📏
Level Sensing
Read a 4-20 mA ultrasonic level sensor via a Modbus analogue input module and bridge it wirelessly.
🔄
Remote Pump Reset
Wire the reset contactor to the MD1/2 microPLC relay output — clear a trip from the control room instead of driving out.
