Modernize Your Pump Station Without Replacing It
Older electro-mechanical relay control systems were reliable in their day, but they're expensive to maintain, difficult to diagnose, and lack the operational flexibility of modern programmable controllers. PMC specializes in upgrading existing pump stations with state-of-the-art PLC controls, variable speed drives, and remote monitoring systems — extending the life of your infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
This is a specialty we've been developing since 1984, when Dale Bowman introduced the first PLC to a Carroll Childers pump station. That early adoption of control technology is part of our DNA — and it means we understand both the legacy systems we're replacing and the modern systems we're installing.
Upgrade Options
PLC Control Replacement
Replace aging electro-mechanical relay panels with modern Programmable Logic Controllers. Gain real-time diagnostics, alarm logging, and operational flexibility that relay systems simply can't provide.
Variable Speed Drives (VSD)
Install variable frequency drives to match pump output to actual demand — reducing energy consumption, extending motor life, and eliminating water hammer. PMC is Schneider Electric certified for VSD startup, which extends the manufacturer's warranty.
Remote Monitoring & Data Logging
Add remote monitoring capabilities that let you view system status, flow rates, pressure, and alarm conditions from anywhere. Historical data logging supports efficiency analysis and compliance reporting.
Control Panel Modernization
Upgrade aging control panels with modern components, improved safety features, and enhanced diagnostic displays. Reduce troubleshooting time and improve operator visibility into system performance.
Schneider Electric Certified — Warranty Protection
PMC's Schneider Electric certification for VSD startup means we commission variable speed drives according to manufacturer specifications — a requirement for maintaining the full manufacturer warranty. Many contractors install drives; we install them correctly.
Weincloud Remote Monitoring — See Your Station From Anywhere
Every PMC upgrade includes the option to connect your station to Weincloud — a secure, web-based monitoring platform built into your HMI. No additional PCs, no VPN setup, no recurring server costs. Your pump station data goes straight to the cloud, accessible from any browser.
What Weincloud Gives You
- Real-time dashboards — flow, pressure, motor status at a glance
- Alarm notifications — email alerts the moment something needs attention
- Historical trending — weeks of logged data for efficiency audits
- Multi-site visibility — monitor all your stations from one screen
- Permission-based access — separate views for owners, operators, and PMC techs
- No extra hardware — uploads directly from your Weintek HMI
PMC configures Weincloud as part of your upgrade — including dashboard layout, alarm thresholds, and user accounts. You're monitoring on day one.
