Preamble
The application on hand deals with a “Pump Control Using the

Example of a Cistern”.
This application requires the following component types:

• LOGO! 24
• LOGO! power
• Cos ϕ monitoring relay; temperature monitoring relay; fill level
monitoring relay with wire electrode (three-pole)
• Contactor and circuit breaker
• Output coupling elements
• Illuminated push-button.
Due to the fact that a number of products with different capacities are
available for the aforementioned SIMIREL products, we have specifically
chosen those with a very high market relevance.

If you use the components mentioned above, the application on hand
offers a Plug&Play solution for a pump control including basic
performance data.
But you may also benefit from this application if you select other products
from the specified product types (e.g. input coupler): Our detailed
description of the function mechanisms and of the user program will help
you to select the functional features that suit your specific requirements
(e.g. with regard to the hardware components used).
Furthermore, we give answers to frequently asked questions which will help
you to reach your goal step by step (see chapter 8 "Modifications in the
LOGO! program"), e.g. "How to proceed, if you want to modify the fade out
times for the cos ϕ monitoring?".

1 Automation Task
Typical technological example

The following example shows one possible case where the provided
application is used.
The example shows a pump control as e.g. used in home and building
services automation and in the trading industry. This is illustrated using the
example of a “cistern”.
A cistern is supplied by rainwater. The cistern features an overflow so that
surplus rainwater can seep away.
If not enough rainwater is available, drinking water is to be filled into the
cistern. A low fill level is detected via the level electrode and processed by
a logic module/fill level monitoring relay. The drinking water supply is
controlled via a digital output of the logic module by means of a solenoid
valve.
Via a pumping station, collected water is drawn from the cistern by means
of a suction pipe and made available as service water. The pumping station
consists of an electric motor (with PTC resistor for motor temperature
monitoring by logic module/function relay) and connected centrifugal pump.

Water pressure is stored in a pressure vessel to ensure that the pump does
not run permanently. The water pressure is transmitted to the logic module
via a pressure transducer (pressure sensor).
The logic module monitors the motor using sensor technology and function
relays.

4.2 Process detection

4.2.1 Fill level monitoring

General information
A function relay which monitors independently is used for fill level
monitoring. The function principle of the fill level monitoring relay is based
on the measurement of the electric resistance of the liquid. It is required
that a electrically conductive medium (e.g. rainwater) is concerned in the fill
level measurement.
Functionality
Two immersion probes and one reference terminator (probe) are in the
cistern for measuring the electric resistance. A current is conducted via the
probes (alternating current to avoid electrolytic features) which gives
information about the electric resistance.
The figure below explains the status of the relay.

Minimum and maximum probe are submerged in the water, the fill level is
sufficient. The relay does not pick up.
The minimum probe is submerged in water, the maximum probe is not
surrounded by water, the fill level is sufficient. The relay remains in the
previous switching state.
The relay triggers if minimum and maximum probe are no longer
submerged in the water.
The minimum probe is submerged in water, the maximum probe is not
surrounded by water, the fill level is sufficient. The relay remains in the
previous switching state.
Rev. A 08/14/03 20/71

The relay returns to its initial state after minimum and maximum probe went
back into the water.
Fig. 4-2
The figure below displays the switching state of the fill level monitoring
relay (and of the motor contactor, if all switch-on conditions are met) using
the example of a devised cistern fill level.
Fig. 4-3
Rev. A 08/14/03 21/71

Note on the application solution

The supply control described in the application was solved using a one-point-detection.
That means that min. and max. electrode are level or exist only once.
Step Description Picture
The fill level of the cistern is below the min./max. electrode,

1
the fresh water supply valve opens.
After reaching the min./max. electrode, a switch-off delay is

2 started with this edge due to which the water follows for 20
seconds (parameterizable).
The supply only stops after the switch-off delay time has
3
elapsed.
4.2.2 Motor temperature monitoring
General information
Motor temperature monitoring is realized by a function relay which monitors
independently. The function principle is based on the resistance measuring
of a PTC resistor. It is required that a PTC resistor [PTCs type A] is
integrated in the pump motor.
Functionality
If the motor temperature rises, the resistance of the PTC resistor rises. If
the (fixed) threshold value of the function relay is exceeded, the relay
triggers on a storing basis; this is signaled by a red LED (permanent light).
The error can be reset on the relay via remote, manual or automatic reset.
Remote reset is used in the application, the error can be
acknowledged/reset via the logic module. The error can only be
acknowledged if the temperature is below the threshold value.
In addition, the relay monitors the feeding pipe to the PTC resistor (motor
thermistor) with regard to wire break (red LED blinks) and short circuit (red
LED flickers). If one of these status occurs, the relay triggers on a storing
basis. The error can only be acknowledged if the error(s) has (have) been
removed.
Rev. A 08/14/03 22/71

The figure below displays the switching state of the temperature monitoring
relay (and of the motor contactor, if all switch-on conditions are met) using
the example of a devised march of a motor temperature. In addition, the
signal of the error acknowledgement (Ackn. Input) is outlined.
Fig. 4-4
Resetting the temperature monitoring relay (interface relay)

The function relay for motor temperature monitoring requires an
acknowledgement (error acknowledgement). For this, an interface relay
performing the acknowledgement upon trigger by the logic module is
connected to a digital output of the logic module.
4.2.3 No-load and overload monitoring
General information
The function of the no-load and overload monitoring is realized with a
function relay. The function principle is based on the check whether the
phase shift (of voltage and current) is within the limits set on the relay.
A three-phase asynchronous motor has a lower cos ϕ during no-load
operation than during operation with nominal moment. During overload
operation, the cos ϕ rises slightly before it drops again. (See figure 4-5 in
section functionality)
If the pump motor runs dry, it does not have a load, i.e. the cos ϕ is low; if
the pump operates with more difficulty than normally (e.g. bearing
defective), the cos ϕ is higher than in the normal operating point.
Rev. A 08/14/03 23/71

Functionality
The function relay is connected to the three phases of the motor current
and a current phase. Due to this, the function relay can (internally)
determine the phase shift. Limit values for exceeding/falling below the
phase shift (cos ϕ) are set at the face of the relay. If the phase shift is
outside the set range, opening of the relay takes place after a variable
delay time (T1). The starting of the motor1 can be faded out by the switch-
on delay (T2).
The function relay has two independent relay outputs; due to this, separate
switching is possible when falling below the lower limit value and exceeding
the upper limit value. A fixed hysteresis prevents permanent switching on
and off of the output relay if the measured value is close to a threshold
value.
The figure below shows the typical course of a phase shift in dependence
on the torque.
Fig. 4-5
1
It is possible that the motor is outside the set limit values during starting; it may
be possible that the function relay triggers (incorrectly).

The figure below displays the switching state of the cos ϕ monitoring relay
(and of the motor contactor, if all switch-on conditions are met) using the
example of a typical cos ϕ course.
Fig. 4-6
4.2.4 Pressure measurement
General information
A pressure transducer converts the pressure in the pressure vessel into
electric tension which can be processed by the logic module.
Functionality
The pressure sensor is integrated in the pressure vessel and makes a DC
voltage in the range of 0 to 10V available in proportion to the water
pressure. This voltage can be directly processed by LOGO!.
A thin-film EMS (expansion measuring strip) is influenced in the pressure
transducer via the vessel pressure. Due to this, the EMS changes its
resistance; it is converted into a DC direct-current in proportion to the
pressure by the integrated evaluation electronics.
Rev. A 08/14/03 25/71

4.3 Operation
Message/error acknowledgement
When pressed, the illuminated push-button switches a 24V voltage and
controls the input of the logic module. The logic module interprets this
digital input as error acknowledgement.
Signaling a pending/gone message (illuminated push-button)

The light-emitting diode in the illuminated push-button is controlled by a
digital output of the logic module and blinks in case of pending errors (as
configured in the program of the logic module).
4.4 Process control, message generation (LOGO! control unit)
General information
The automation system consists of one LOGO! logic module. Its inputs
record data and status from the process and its outputs control the process.
Messages appear on the display of the logic module.
Functionality
LOGO! evaluates the status of the function relays:
▪ Motor temperature monitoring
▪ Motor no-load and
▪ overload monitoring
▪ Fill level monitoring.
It prevents the motor from running in critical situations. All monitored errors
are visualized as messages on the display of the LOGO!. Additionally, a
pending (or still pending) error is signaled via a blinking illuminated push-
button; the error can also be acknowledged via this button. (The
temperature monitoring relay is reset by an output of LOGO!, if messages
are acknowledged.)
Control of the drinking water supply
In addition, not only a no-load operation of the pump is prevented if the fill
level is low, but the solenoid valve (drinking water inflow) is opened for a
parameterizable period of time; this ensures that there is always enough
water available in the cistern.
Raising of water
The pressure transducer/pressure sensor connected to an analog input
supplies LOGO! with a value which corresponds to the pressure in the
pressure vessel. If the pressure is below a parameterized minimum limit,
the motor contactor (thus the pump) is switched on until a parameterized
maximum limit is exceeded.
Rev. A 08/14/03 26/71

4.5 Process influence (actuators)
4.5.1 Opening/closing fresh water supply (solenoid valve)
General information
A semiconductor coupling element2 operating as power amplifier for a
solenoid valve is connected to the digital output of the logic module.
Functionality
If the logic module detects due to the process evaluation that the fill level of
the cistern is too low, a digital output is switched on for 20 seconds and the
fresh water supply is opened for 20 seconds.
The digital outputs only have a capacity of 0,3A; that’s why a
semiconductor coupling element is switched between digital output and
solenoid valve. The semiconductor coupling element operates as power
amplifier for the solenoid valve.
4.5.2 Switching motor On/Off (motor contactor)
General information
The pump motor is switched On/Off (indirectly) via a digital output of the
logic module. Since high breaking capacities and driving powers may be
concerned, the motor is switched additionally for protection. (The section
“Functionality” below describes how the entire switching process works and
how the motor is connected to the mains supply.)
Functionality
The motor is connected to the electric three-phase mains via a circuit
breaker (with motor protection) and a contactor. The circuit breaker works
as current limiting main switch for the motor. It securely separates the
motor from the mains supply (e.g. for maintenance work). In addition, it is
used for secure switching-off in case of a short circuit and thus protects the
system from overload.
The motor contactor is located behind the circuit breaker in the flow
diagram; with this contactor, the motor can be switched On/Off via the logic
module. See the figure below.

= electronic relay
Rev. A 08/14/03 27/71

Fig. 4-7
In addition, a semiconductor coupling element is located between the

LOGO! logic module and the motor contactor. It operates as power
amplifier for the digital output of the logic module.
Caution
It is obligatory that you select the suitable circuit breaker and motor contactor for
your (pump) motor. You will be supported in selecting the respective products in
SIEMENS-Mall.

5.3 Setting the parameters at the SIMIREL function relays
5.3.1 Fill level monitoring relay
The sensitivity to the liquid to be monitored has to be set at the fill level
monitoring relay. For this purpose, the front of the relay is equipped with a
thumb wheel. A small value can be set for rainwater (approx. 5-18kΩ).
Switch the slide switch to supply monitoring, switch position “under”.
Fig. 5-3
Rev. A 08/14/03 39/71

5.3.2 cos ϕ monitoring relay
The upper and the lower limit value for the monitoring has to be set at the
cos ϕ monitoring relay. The lower limit value corresponds to the motor
underload (no-load); the motor is in overload if the upper limit value is
exceeded. (See chapter 4.2.3)
For this purpose, the front is equipped with two thumb wheels. Additionally,
two times can be parameterized:
• T1 delay time for triggering of the relay
• T2 switch-on delay of the monitoring function (necessary for starting the
motor).
Note on the parameterizable times

The two parameterizable times are both set to their minimum value, since similar
delays are realized in the LOGO! project.
Fig. 5-4
Rev. A 08/14/03 40/71

5.3.3 Circuit breaker
For motor protection, the limiting current (suitable for the motor) has to be
set on the front side of the circuit breaker.
Fig. 5-5
Caution
Observe the rating plate of the respective motor considering the circuit type! It is
obligatory that you select the suitable circuit breaker for your (pump) motor. You will
be supported in selecting the respective products in SIEMENS-Mall.
5.3.4 Temperature monitoring relay
Note
The temperature monitoring relay does not require parameterization. Yet, it is

possible that error acknowledgement is performed automatically to minimize stop
times. See chapter 8.7.
Rev. A 08/14/03 41/71

5.4 Setting the parameters at LOGO!
General information
Parameters of the LOGO! project can be modified directly at LOGO! without
switching LOGO! to Stop.
When LOGO! is in Run, press “ESC” and select the second menu item “Set
Param“.
Fig. 5-6
In the LOGO! program, two parameters are released for modification.

Period for fresh water inflow in case of empty cistern (parameter display B03)
If the cistern is empty, drinking water is supplied. If this status occurs, only
a certain quantity of fresh water4 is supplied to ensure that there is enough
volume for possible rain.
Fig. 5-7
4
If LOGO! receives the signal of the fill level monitoring relay indicating that the
level is below the minimum cistern fill level, fresh water (or drinking water) is
supplied until the level is above the minimum cistern fill level. The water follows for
20 sec. after exceeding the minimum fill level (parameterizable, see above).
Rev. A 08/14/03 42/71

Lower pressure limit and upper pressure limit (switch-on/off point of the pump,
parameter display B02)
The lower and the upper pressure limit can be set in the parameter display
shown below. The lower pressure limit corresponds to the switch-on point
of the pump, the upper pressure limit corresponds to the switch-off point of
the pump.
Fig. 5-8
Note
If you have not scaled the measured value (yet), these parameters are not pressure
values, but for the moment the (measured) voltage in mV.

Scaling of the measured value, see chapter 7.2.

6 Operating the Application
Requirement
The requirements described in "Installation of Hardware and Software"
(chapter 5) have to be met and all devices have to be switched on.
General information
Each monitoring display included in the delivery, each operating possibility,
each value and parameter are explained.
5 text modules are configured in the LOGO! program, four of them are
messages, one is a status text. Messages are signaled by blinking/flashing
on the illuminated push-button and can be acknowledged by pressing it.
Status of the LED Meaning Clock pulse
Blinking Motor message pending

Flashing Cistern fill level low
If LOGO! is in Run mode and if no errors are pending, the status text is
displayed.
If errors occur, messages are displayed. In the LOGO! program, a priority is
assigned to each message; if several messages are pending, the message
with the highest priority is displayed. It is possible to switch between
several pending messages with the “Up/Down” buttons.
Note on the messages

Priorities are assigned for messages, only one message can be displayed on the
LOGO! display at a time. The message with the highest priority takes precedence.
Rev. A 08/14/03 44/71

6.1 Status text: Tank pressure
This status text displays the current water pressure. No errors are pending,
as long as this text box is the only one that can be selected. (Priority: 1)
Fig. 6-1
Note
It is possible to switch between several pending messages with the “Up/Down”

buttons.
6.2 Message: cos ϕ low
This message is displayed, if the cos ϕ of the pump motor is below the set
value for at least 10 seconds (chapter 6.1.2). The motor is switched off.
Simultaneously, the message is signaled by the blinking illuminated push-
button. The message can be acknowledged via this push-button.
If the error was acknowledged despite the fact that the cause had not been
removed, the message is displayed again after 10 seconds. (Priority: 8)

7 Explanation of the Core Program Parts of the LOGO! Soft

program
General information
This chapter provides you with detailed information on the core program
parts of this application.
They are used to realize the basic functions of the application.

7.2 Pressure measurement (A)
Fig. 7-1
The following components are used:
• Analog input (AI1)
• Threshold value switch (B02)
• “NOT” block (B04).
Function:
The measured value of the pressure sensor is received via the analog
input. The pressure is delivered in a voltage level of 0-10V. The analog
voltage is evaluated by a threshold value switch; in addition, the output

signal is negated for further program processing.

Scaling or adapting the analog value of 0-10V to the used measuring range
of the pressure sensor can be performed in the parameterization of the
threshold value switch. See figure below.
Fig. 7-2
Example: A maximum value of 6000 can be entered for a pressure sensor

with a measuring range of 0-6 bar which is pictured on 0-10V; due to this,
the measured value is displayed in the correct unit.
Rev. A 08/14/03 52/71

7.3 Pressure display (B)
Fig. 7-3

• Static on (High)
• Text box (B05)
• Flag (M1)
Function:
The Static on box activates a text box indicating the current measured
value of the pressure on the LOGO! display. The status text of the pressure
display is displayed; this text is displayed permanently.
Details on the text box

A priority has to be assigned for each configured text box. This is necessary to make
sure that, if several messages are pending at a time, the message with the highest
priority appears on the LOGO! display.
Lowest priority = 0
Highest priority = 9
If several messages are pending, it
is possible to switch between the
messages via the ▼ and ▲
buttons.
Rev. A 08/14/03 53/71

7.4 Temperature monitoring (C)
Fig. 7-4

• Digital input (I1)
• OR block (B25)
• Text box (B06)
• Flag (M5)
• Latching relay (B24)

Function:
The digital input evaluates the switching state of the temperature
monitoring relay and acts on the OR block. The output of the OR block
activates the text box with the “Temperature too high” message. The text
box requires a flag at the output; this flag is connected to the latching relay
which (retentively) stores a triggering and thus stores the message (by the
OR block) also after the error has gone.
Note
Error acknowledgement for the temperature monitoring relay is processed in
program part H.
7.5 Fill level monitoring (D)
Fig. 7-5
Rev. A 08/14/03 54/71


• Digital input (I2)
• Impulse relay, edge-triggered (B03)
• AND block (B28)
• Text box (B13)
• Digital output (Q2)
Function:
The digital input I2 evaluates the status of the fill level monitoring relay. If
the relay switches to status 1 (= “low fill level”), the impulse relay (B03)
switches on its output for 20 seconds. (The time is released via LOGO! for
parameterization and can be set individually. See chapter 5.4 “Period for
fresh water inflow in case of empty cistern”.) As long as the output of the
impulse relay (B03) is in the On status and input I2 is on, the text box (B13)
with the “Cistern empty/drinking water supply“ message is activated and the
output Q2 (which controls the fresh water inlet valve) is set.
In addition, the status of the input I2 is transferred to the program part

switching motor (E) as negated; due to this, the pump motor can only run
after a correct fill level of the cistern.
7.6 Switching motor (E)
Fig. 7-6

• AND block (B07)
• AND block (B08)
• Digital output (Q1)
Rev. A 08/14/03 55/71

Function:
The AND block (B07) expands the AND block (B08) by additional inputs. All
switch-on conditions for the pump are interlinked via the conjunctions.
Switch-on conditions are:
▪ Motor temperature (program part C)
▪ cos ϕ OK (program part I)
▪ Fill level of cistern OK (program part D)
▪ Pressure too low (or below the switch-off point; program part A).
If all switch-on conditions are met, the output Q1 is activated and the
contactor is controlled. This status is transferred to the program parts F and
G (cos ϕ monitoring).
7.7 cos ϕ too low (F)

Fig. 7-7

• Digital input I3
• AND block (B15)
• Switch-on delay (B17)
• OR block (B09)
• Text box (B11)
• Flag (M2)
• Latching relay (B20).
Function:
The digital input I3 evaluates the switching state of the cos ϕ monitoring
relay whether it is too low. The signal is only further processed, if the output
for the motor contactor control (Q1, program part E) is active. The switch-
on delay (B17) transfers the signal to its output, if it is pending for at least
10 seconds. Due to this, a momentary
exceeding of the limit value is faded out. The text box (B11) with the “cos ϕ
too low“ message is activated via an OR block (B09). A flag (M2) is
required at the output of the text box (B11).
Rev. A 08/14/03 56/71

The flag switches the latching relay (B20) to retentive error storing. The
output of the latching relay (B20) additionally acts on the OR block (B09);
thus, the message is also displayed on the LOGO! display, if the error is
gone.

Function:
The digital input I4 evaluates the switching state of the cos ϕ monitoring
relay whether it is too low. The signal is only further processed, if the output
for the motor contactor control (Q1, program part E) is active. The switch-
on delay (B18) transfers the signal to its output, if it is pending for at least
10 seconds. Due to this, a momentary
exceeding of the limit value is faded out. The text box (B12) with the “cos ϕ

Semiconductor interface
In a semiconductor interface, a semiconductor output is switched via a
rectifier and an optocoupler. A semiconductor interface requires auxiliary
power, the output of the semiconductor interface is on the same potential
as the auxiliary power. (A1/A2 input; 0V output zero potential; 13 auxiliary
power; 14 output)

Function mechanisms
Two-way isolation
In the two-way isolation, the input is electrically isolated from the output.
The “zero potential” of the supply voltage is identical with the one referring
to the analog output signal.
Fig. 8-3
Three-way isolation
In the three-way isolation, each circuit is electrically isolated from the
others, i.e. input, output and supply voltage don’t have a potential
connection.

8.5 Transferring supply control to fill level monitoring relay
Realized in the application

The supply control described in the application was solved by a one-point-
detection.
That means that min. and max. electrode are level or exist only once.
Step Description Picture (cistern fill level)
The fill level of the cistern is below the min./max. electrode,

1
the fresh water supply valve opens.
Rev. A 08/14/03 67/71

After reaching the min./max. electrode, a switch-off delay is

started with this edge due to which the water follows for 20
2
seconds (parameterizable). (The pump is released already
from this point)
The supply only stops after the switch-off delay time has
3
elapsed.
The advantage is the fact that the time for the following can be modified
freely and without too much difficulty.
Modification in the application

If the electrodes are used as described in the documentation of the fill level
monitoring relay, the supply valve can be opened after falling below the
minimum electrode; the supply only stops after exceeding the maximum
electrode. The placing of the maximum electrode determines the quantity of

fresh water supplied.

If e.g. the maximum electrode is attached to the upper edge of the cistern,
the entire cistern would be filled with fresh water.
Step Description
Look for the part dealing with fresh water supply in the LOGO! Soft program. See illustration.
Delete block B29 and establish a direct connection as shown in the illustration below.
Please note that the min./max. electrodes for the fill level monitoring are installed correctly.

8.6 Pressure measurement expansion
If a wire break occurred in the measuring line to the pressure sensor, the
pump would run permanently to generate a high pressure. This might
damage the lines and/or the pressure vessel.
Two basic possibilities to recognize a possible wire break, yet not described
explicitly, are shown below.
8.6.1 Using two pressure sensors
Two pressure sensors checking each other are used for pressure
measurement.
An analog comparator block can be used for this. If it signals a deviation
between the two pressure sensors which is too high, a pressure sensor
might be defective or there might be a wire break.
Rev. A 08/14/03 69/71

8.6.2 Using pressure sensor with offset
General information
The pressure sensor always has an offset voltage if no pressure is applied.
If only this offset voltage is applied at LOGO!, the measured pressure is 0
bar. If no voltage is applied, there might be a wire break, the pump switches
off.
Functionality
Two analog threshold value switches are used.
The first analog threshold value switch checks whether at least the offset
voltage is applied, if not, the output of the comparator block is high (=
switch-off condition).
As already described in the documentation, the second analog threshold
value switch controls the pressure. It has to be noted that the offset voltage
has to be taken into consideration during scaling.
Rev. A 08/14/03 70/71

8.7 Automatic acknowledgement of the motor temperature

monitoring relay
Note
For use of motors featuring PTC resistors for temperature warning!
In the function relay used, it is possible that it is automatically

acknowledged if the motor temperature leaves the critical range.
Step Description
1 It is necessary to bridge the terminals Y1 and Y2 of the temperature monitoring relay.
The relay (output coupling element 3TX7004-1LB00) for acknowledgement of the function relay can be

saved.
The following can be deleted in the program code:
