EVOLUTION'S STANDARD FEATURES
OPERATOR LCD TOUCH SCREEN and INTERFACE MODULE  
An LCD touchscreen provides a series of graphical data
presentations in vivid color to monitor and control the
Evolution system.  Illuminated “soft” pushbuttons replace
physical mechanical switches to allow an operator to input
data to control the operation of the fuel system.  
Illuminated graphic lamps communicate on/off normal
states and report alarm conditions.

The touch screen page to the right is the “home” page of
the Evolution system.  From here, using soft buttons, an
operator may select subsequent pages to monitor and
control the fuel system PLC.
OTHER STANDARD FEATURES
.
.GRAPHIC FUEL LEVEL
.GAUGE
 
Two graphical gauges that represent fuel level in the tank.  One displays the percent
full, the other displays the gallons remaining.  The 100% or FULL level is normally
set to the Fill Pump shut off level (not the physical top of the tank); the EMPTY level
of the gauge is normally set to the bottom of the tank.  
.POWER AVAILABLE
."LIGHT"
  This green LED lamp at the bottom of the LCD touch-screen is used to report that
power is on and the Evolution system is energized.  
.HOA SWITCH
  An HOA soft push-button switch is displayed for each pump motor on the PUMP &
MOTOR screen page.  
  • In the ON position, the EVOLUTION system surrenders automatic control of
    the pump and motor except at action levels at the specified control points --
    Reverse pump(s) on, Critical High and High Fuel.  
  • In the AUTO position, the EVOLUTION system automatically controls the
    activities of the motors based upon fuel level readings and control points.  
  • In the OFF position, the pump motor is offline to all actions.
.ALARM SILENCE SWITCH
  This soft push-button switch is used to silence a common alarm horn (if installed)
that will sound if an abnormal condition exists.  (The horn will shut off automatically
when the condition is corrected.)  
.CRITICAL HIGH FUEL
.LEVEL NOTIFICATION
FEATURE
  This feature will illuminate the Critical High Alarm lamp graphic on CONTROL PANEL
screen page when fuel level reaches a predetermined set point, plus shut-down any
supply pump(s). Sends a signal to  a common alarm output.

A Critical High Alarm Dry Contact is provided, (1 - N.O). If the day tank is supplied by
a gravity-feed main tank, this is a good place to receive a signal to close a normally
open solenoid valve in the inlet line.

A Common Alarm Dry Contact is Provided, (1 - N.O)
.HIGH FUEL LEVEL
NOTIFICATION
.FEATURE
  This feature will illuminate the High Alarm lamp graphic on CONTROL PANEL screen
page when fuel level reaches a predetermined set point, plus shut-down any supply
pump(s). Sends a signal to a common alarm output.  

A High Alarm Dry Contact is provided, (1 - N.O).
A Common Alarm Dry Contact is Provided, (1 - N.O)
.LOW FUEL LEVEL
.NOTIFICATION
.FEATURE
  This feature will illuminate the Low Alarm lamp graphic on CONTROL PANEL screen
page when fuel level reaches a predetermined set point. Sends a signal to a
common alarm output.  

A Low Alarm Dry Contact is provided, (1 - N.O).
A Common Alarm Dry Contact is Provided, (1 - N.O)
.CRITICAL LOW FUEL
.LEVEL NOTIFICATION
.FEATURE
  This feature will illuminate the Critical Low Alarm lamp graphic on CONTROL PANEL
screen page when fuel level reaches a predetermined set point. Sends a signal to a
common alarm output.  

A Critical Low Alarm Dry Contact is provided, (1 - N.O).
A Common Alarm Dry Contact is Provided, (1 - N.O)
.TANK RUPTURE
.ALARM NOTIFICATION
  This feature will illuminate the Tank Rupture lamp graphic on CONTROL PANEL
screen page when a Tank Rupture occurs, plus shut-down any supply pump(s).
Sends a signal to a common alarm output.  

A Tank Rupture Alarm Dry Contact is provided, (1 - N.O).
A Common Alarm Dry Contact is Provided, (1 - N.O)
.HISTORICAL LOG
  The EVOLUTION system maintains a time/date stamped log of events pertaining to
activities of its operation.  
.MODBUS PROTOCOL
  For in-house Building Management Systems using Windows(TM) with IDEC's
WindSRV
(TM) Drivers.

EVOLUTION - PLC BASED CONTROLLER
ULTRA-SONIC SENSOR 4-20ma
This device emits a  signal at a narrow beam angle downwards into a tube extending
the depth of the tank.  When the signal encounters an object (the fuel), it bounces
back to the emitting device that has a built-in receiver.  The elapsed time between
emission of the signal and its return is converted into an electrical voltage, which then
is changed to inches of air space from tip of emitter to fuel level.

Important to note - nothing (inductance probe, or such) touches the fuel.  Hence,
there are no erratic and low voltage level readings caused by gum-up or other
undesirable phenomenon which are inherent to similar out-dated systems.  Periodic
cleaning and re-adjustment of probes and the system is not necessary.
