SPIDER
About SPIDER
SPIDER is a universal control with functions for pump control, data collection, alarm management,
groundwater lowering etc.
SPIDER is developed and produced in Denmark. SPIDER complies with all specifications regarding
placement of electronic components in harsh environments.
Funktions
•Advanced 1 and 2 pump control with empty/fill function and internal pump alternation.
•Build-in GSM/GPRS Modem.
•Multi-protocol: Modbus RTU/TCP & COMLI. SPIDER auto-detects the protocol used by the SCADA
system.
•Click connection for a joystick-equipped graphic 2,4” OLED display directly onto SPIDER.
•Possibility to connect a 7” color touch-sensitive display via a serial HMI interface.
•Validated flow calculation where the pumps capacity is dynamically calculated.
•Status words function that can take a failed pump out of operation.
•Emergency control function via a float switch when a pressure transmitter fails.
•Indication of required pump service where SPIDER informs that a pump has reduced capacity.
•Built-in power bank that maintains control during power failures and sends an alarm to SCADA.
•Daily running of pumps so they do not seize after long idle periods.
•Daily depth pumping to avoid top sediment layer.
•Choice of various start levels to prevent sediment accumulation at liquid entrance point.
•Configuration of SPIDER via ACOWA ZOO software, both locally (Micro USB cable) or via server setup.

Status
Flashes every 5 seconds: status to
indicate that the device is working.
Double flash means that the HMI
interface / oled display is enabled.
Net-status
Flashing fast (2 times per second):
modem is not connected to the GSM
mast.
Flashes slowly (once per second) and is
connected to the GSM mast.
Modem-status flashes when a modem is connected to the GSM mast and a signal strength is detected.
Display
SPIDER comes with two different types of displays but can also work without a display.
Display for direct mounting on SPIDER is a 2.4 "OLED display. The display has different screen settings and
can be operated with the joystick on the right side.
There is a pause screen which disables the normal screen display after 5 minutes. After this it goes to the
screen saver picture where level is displayed in different places on screen.

HMI display
SPIDER can also be delivered with a larger 7” HMI display where a larger graphic image can be designed. It
is possible to design customized graphics.
A serial overprint is required. This is easily clicked on the SPIDER as well as cable sets and HMI display.
