Fuel Pump Station Simulation

Project developed as part of the Acquisition and Control Systems course at FTN Novi Sad.

About

A simulation of a fuel pump station with a 1000L reservoir. The system monitors fuel levels via sensors, controls pumps and valves through digital outputs, and reports alarms based on defined thresholds. Communication is based on the Modbus RTU/TCP protocol (slave address 13, port 502).

System Description

• Reservoir capacity: 1000L, initial fuel level: 500L
• Inlet valve V1 – fills reservoir at 10 L/s (address 2000)
• Pumps P1, P2 – discharge at 1 L/s (addresses 3000, 3001)
• Pump P3 – discharges at 3 L/s (address 3002)
• Fuel level sensor N1 (address 1000)

Features

• Real-time fuel level monitoring via analog sensor
• Digital output control for pumps and valve
• Engineering unit conversion: EGU = A × raw_value + B
• Alarm management:
  • HighAlarm: fuel level > 900L
  • LowAlarm: fuel level < 150L
  • AbnormalAlarm: pump or valve not in nominal state
• Safety interlocks:
  • Valve cannot open while pumps are active
  • Pumps cannot activate while valve is open
• Manual control via control panel (valve and pumps)
• Values refreshed on UI after each successful write

Technologies

• C# / .NET
• Modbus RTU/TCP (port 502)
