Water Leakage Monitoring

The problem

Leaks under raised floors from CRAC units, chilled water pipes or humidifiers go unseen until equipment is wet, because the leak panel only sounds a local buzzer.

Solution overview

MILESGO gateways collect data from water leak detection controllers, valve actuators, run/stop and fault dry contacts over Modbus RTU, and deliver it to the DCIM, the BMS, SMS, email and messaging alarms as SNMP / BACnet/IP / MQTT. Field equipment keeps its own protocol and control logic; integration is done by configuration and point mapping, not custom code.

Typical scope

water leak detection controllers
valve actuators
run/stop and fault dry contacts

Protocol path

Modbus RTU → SNMP / BACnet/IP / MQTT

Implementation checklist for the project manager

For hard-wired signals, list each DI/DO/AI/AO with its type (dry contact, 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, PT1000) and choose I/O modules accordingly.
Define an alarm matrix (priority, recipient, escalation) and test every alarm end to end at SAT.
Write the control sequence (start/stop order, interlocks, set-points, fallback on communication loss) and have it approved before programming.
Fix a site / asset naming convention before the first site so data from all sites can be compared.
Confirm DIN-rail space and a stable 12–24 V supply in each panel; use UPS-backed power for critical monitoring.
Hand over configuration backups, point table, IP plan and as-built drawings, with a short operator training.

System architecture

Field layer: water leak detection controllers, valve actuators, run/stop and fault dry contacts, connected over Modbus RTU. Edge and integration layer: MILESGO protocol gateways and edge controllers, mounted on DIN rail in existing panels, polling each device, time-stamping values and buffering them locally. Upper layer: the DCIM, the BMS, SMS, email and messaging alarms, which receives the data as SNMP / BACnet/IP / MQTT. Remote access for maintenance runs over VPN rather than open internet ports.

System composition

Field devices: water leak detection controllers, valve actuators, run/stop and fault dry contacts
Edge / integration: MILESGO protocol gateways and edge controllers
Upper systems: the DCIM, the BMS, SMS, email and messaging alarms (SNMP / BACnet/IP / MQTT)
Tools and commissioning: Web-based configuration, point table import/export (Excel), off-site simulation and on-site diagnostic tools

Delivery steps

1
Site survey and point list
Inventory devices, protocols, register maps, panel space, power and network paths.
2
Design and point table sign-off
Map every point to the target protocol and system; agree it with the client and the upper-system contractor.
3
Configuration and FAT
Build the gateway configuration off site, simulate it and test against the signed point table.
4
Installation and wiring
Mount gateways on DIN rail, wire RS-485 / I/O / Ethernet, apply the IP plan.
5
SAT and alarm tests
Verify values against local readings, test every alarm and command end to end.
6
Handover and support
Hand over configuration backups, point table and as-built documents; train operators.

Customer value

Alarms reach the right person by SMS, email or messaging apps
Abnormal conditions seen early, before they become failures
Timestamped records for compliance and reporting
One view of all subsystems instead of separate vendor consoles
