PENERAPAN SISTEM KONTROL DISTRIBUSI AIR PAMSIMAS BERBASIS PLC DI DESA NISOMBALIA

Abstract

Several hamlets in Nisombalia village are located along the coastline, such as Kuri Caddi and Kuri Lompo hamlets. The water conditions around the coastal area are brackish to high-salinity water, making it difficult to use for daily needs. Moreover, the coastline is used as a beach tourism location. To address the issue of clean water shortages, the village government has collaborated with PAMSIMAS, a Community-Based Drinking Water and Sanitation Program, to build a water distribution system for Nisombalia village. Some of the problems in the PAMSIMAS water distribution in Nisombalia village include the long distance of the distribution pump, resulting in reduced monitoring of the pump condition, and the control system that does not yet rely on a water flow protection system, which could lead to pump damage. The community service method used is the implementation of a control system by designing and building a PLC-based control system and adding a 2 hp output water pump replacement to the existing PAMSIMAS system. The results obtained include the installation of a water distribution pump control panel that can operate automatically with the addition of a water flow switch (flow sensor) and the installation of a new 2hp pump to distribute water to coastal residents.
