STEP 4:
SET UP THE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
After you have defined the groups,
satellites and stations, you must create a
model of your hydraulic system and
assign each station to an hydraulic
element.
SitePro offers a convenient
graphical way to define a multi-
level hydraulic tree. You can
easily define your flow limits
through mainlines, branches and flow
groups within the SitePro software.
➊ Define elements of the hydraulic system (Setup > Hydraulic System > Attributes)
Create a model of the flow demand on your hydraulic system by defining water sources
and their associated pipes which represent mainlines, branches and flow groups.
➋ Create Hydro-Links: Assign stations to the hydraulic system (Setup > Hydraulic
System > Assign)
Assign each station to a hydraulic element. This defines the Hydro-Link, a connection
point at the station level between the control system and the hydraulic system. You can
review these assignments using the Review tab (Setup > Hydraulic System > Review).
Each station must have a Hydro-Link defined
in order for the station to run.
➌ Review Station Assignments (Setup > Hydraulic System > Review)
Review these Hydro-Link assignments using the Review tab.
To double check station assignments to Hydro-Links:
• Run an Unassigned Stations report.
You also can verify the station assignments by:
• Running a projected flow (click on the Projected Flow button on the daily operations
tool bar).
• After closing the graph, check the Flow Log (F-Log) to review any errors in the
hydraulic assignments. Select the F-Log from the Tools menu (Tools > F-Log) or by
clicking on the F-Log button on the tool bar. Any stations missing a Hyrdo-Link will
be displayed in this text file.
