Regulation of level and flow rate by PID

It groups two types of regulation:
• Regulation by PID of water level with 4-20mA hydrostatic pressure sensor.
• Regulation by PID of water flow rate with 4-20mA analogue flowmeter.
Thanks to a jumper set, the student selects the type of regulation required. They can then enter the set point value directly on the PID regulator. This, thanks to a speed drive, automatically adjusts the speed of rotation of the motor pump to control the flow rate or the water level according to set point value. The different signals used in the regulation system are analogue 4-20mA. It is fully autonomous and operates in a closed circuit as soon as the bottom tank is filled with water.
