South-to-North Water Diversion Project Beijing Section - IPC-611
User Background
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project, a national strategic water resource allocation project, is generally structured into three routes—West, Middle, and East—diverting water from the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin. Water segments such as the Beijing South Main Canal, Yanqing, and Miyun Reservoir undertake key tasks of supplying water to the capital, urgently requiring automation technologies to enhance the control precision and scheduling efficiency of water conservancy facilities. The Beijing section project involves water conveyance main canals, reservoir hubs, and supporting sluice stations, requiring full-link intelligent management of "water level monitoring - flow regulation - safety warning".
Challenges Faced
-
•
1. Environmental Adaptability Requirements: The humidity around Miyun Reservoir remains at 95% RH year-round, and water vapor condensation occurs in the tunnels of water conveyance main canals. Traditional industrial computers are prone to failures such as motherboard corrosion and interface short circuits.
-
•
2. Real-time Scheduling Needs: The South-to-North Water Diversion main canal needs to dynamically adjust water flow according to Beijing's water demand. Manual inspection has a response delay of over 15 minutes, unable to cope with sudden water supply scheduling.
-
•
3. Cross-regional Collaboration Dilemma: The cross-regional water conveyance line from Miyun Reservoir to Beijing South Main Canal is approximately 120 kilometers long. Traditional control systems have a data synchronization delay of over 30 minutes, making unified scheduling difficult.
-
•
4. 7×24-hour Continuous Operation: Water conveyance equipment needs to operate year-round without downtime. Traditional equipment has an average time between failures (MTBF) of only 2,000 hours, resulting in high maintenance costs.
Application Overview
As the core control unit, KTB's IPC-611 industrial computer is deployed in the sluice station control cabinets and monitoring centers of the Beijing section of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, solving industry pain points through the following solutions:
1. Hardware Protection System: An all-steel sealed chassis with IP65 protection, paired with a nano moisture-proof coating, operates continuously for 4,800 hours without failure in the high-humidity environment of Miyun Reservoir; wide-temperature design (-20°C to 60°C) adapts to the low-temperature scenarios in Yanqing mountainous areas.
2. Data Acquisition and Transmission: Connects 16 types of devices such as water level sensors and flow meters through 8 isolated RS485 serial ports to collect water conveyance data in real time; builds a ring network using 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports to achieve cross-regional data synchronization over 120 kilometers (delay <50ms).
3. Intelligent Control Functions: Pre-installed with special water conservancy monitoring software, supporting "automatic mode" (automatically adjusting sluice gate opening based on water level thresholds) and "remote manual mode", compatible with water conservancy automation standards to achieve precise regulation of water conveyance flow.

Application Achievements
-
1. Scheduling Efficiency Improvement: The response time of sluice gates has been shortened. During the annual summer water consumption peak in Beijing, real-time scheduling ensures the daily water supply demand of the urban area.
-
2. Data Collaboration Optimization: The cross-regional water conveyance data synchronization delay has decreased, achieving real-time sharing of water level and flow data across the entire river section from Miyun Reservoir to Beijing South Main Canal, increasing water resource allocation efficiency.
-
3. Reliability Breakthrough: The IPC-611 has operated continuously for 36 months without downtime in the Beijing South Main Canal project, reducing maintenance costs.
4. Intelligent Early Warning: Through the device's built-in algorithm analyzing historical water conveyance data, it predicts pipeline pressure anomalies in advance. In 2019, it successfully warned of a leakage hazard in the Yanqing section water conveyance pipeline, avoiding water resource waste.
