How to Program Lead/Lag Pumping in Ignition

Corso Systems describes how to approach lead/lag/standby pumping schemes from a control perspective and how to quickly integrate them into Ignition for operator control. Lead/lag/standby schemes are standard in pumping applications, especially in water/wastewater. They allow a system to operate at low capacity, ramp up to meet increased demand, and spread the operational load across multiple pumps to reduce maintenance costs.
