(1) Centralized Control System
The centralized control system has a radiated cabling structure and is suitable for such small-size MF as there are no too many water patterns and the control room is nearby the pools. Because the cost invested in cabling will increase if the pools are far from the control room.
(2) On-spot Bus Control System
The on-spot bus is a serial data communication link that connects the basic local controls to its upper controls, i.e. 485 bus and CAN bus. On-spot bus has the following advantages:
a. One transmission line is able to control more than one equipment. The control system is thereby simplified, which leads to a shorter construction period and easier installation and maintenance.
b. On-spot bus employs digital communication technology, which has the character of anti-jamming and high accuracy.
c. It’s more reliable and flexible due to the local control function.
(3) Network Bus Control System
Network Bus Control System has a fundamental improvement in performance compared with On-spot Bus Control System, though they are quite similar in structure.
a. Network Bus Control is a completely distributed system. It speeds up the electrical system and satisfies the real-time control need of music fountains. Also, it runs more stable.
b. It can support the bus control structure, radiated structure, well and mixed ones.
c. The main difference between Network Bus Control and Local Bus Control is that the former employs a special network operating system to ensure the operation of all equipment around the network.。
d. The commissioning and maintenance of the electrical system are more convenient.
Programmable Fountain
The control system of the programmable fountain uses a timing routine to control the change of water patterns. The pumps can be either controlled by switches or by variable frequency drive. When there are color lights to illuminate the water, that’s the so-called “Colored Programmable Fountain”.
Special Fountains
Entertainment fountains, waterfalls, super-high fountain,s and other specialty fountains as well all need special control systems.
Music Fountain Control Cabinet
Music Fountain Control Cabinet adopts a special power system for music fountains, which meets the demands better. Fountain cabinets allocate power circuit for each water pattern in accordance with the actual power allocation and equipment type. All cabinets are GGD standard products with certificates from authorities. The electrical appliances are world-famous brands like “Schneider” and “Siemens” The system will be equipped with a protection device for over-voltage, over-amperage, Volt-shortage, phase-fault, and short-circuit, which guarantees the system’s reliability and safe operation.
