Industrial & commercial automation

Move water reliably while protecting every pump

BuckByte Smart Water Pump Controller systems coordinate level sensors, pressure transmitters, PLC or microcontroller panels, starters, VFDs, and IoT gateways. The result is automatic pump control, early fault detection, lower energy use, and better visibility into runtime and water-system health.

Control based on real conditions

Start and stop pumps according to overhead tank level, underground sump availability, line pressure, or configured operating schedules.

  • Single-phase and three-phase systems
  • Automatic master/slave pump alternation
  • VFD-based pressure and flow control
  • Runtime, energy, and fault history
02

Protection built into the sequence

  • Dry-run and low-current protection
  • Single-phase and phase-reversal detection
  • Over-voltage, under-voltage, and overload trips
  • Auto-restart delay, anti-seize, and leak alerts

Hardware foundation

Built around the site and the water system

Sensor and control hardware can be selected for tank geometry, motor rating, communication requirements, environment, and maintenance preferences.

01

PLC or Controller Panel

DIN-rail control panel with digital and analog I/O, sequence logic, fault handling, and RS485 Modbus connectivity.

02

Level Sensors

Ultrasonic, radar, float switches, or conductive probes for continuous measurement and high/low cutoffs.

03

Pressure Transmitters

Industrial pressure feedback for booster systems and constant-pressure applications, typically 0–10 or 0–16 bar.

04

VFD & Starter Control

Soft starting, speed control, PID regulation, and safe motor switching matched to the pump duty.

05

IoT / Cellular Gateway

Wi-Fi, 4G, or LoRaWAN connectivity for alerts, runtime logs, energy metrics, and remote dashboards.

Application variants

One control platform, multiple pumping needs

01Dual-tank level control

Coordinate sump-to-overhead pumping and alternate dual pumps to balance motor wear.

02Constant-pressure boosting

Use transmitters and VFDs to maintain stable pressure across commercial or high-rise buildings.

03Solar pumping

Support MPPT-enabled solar pump control for agricultural water delivery under changing sunlight.

04Process & utility water

Automate municipal, HVAC, wastewater, irrigation, and facility water systems.
