ABSTRACT
This project is titled the design and
construction of an automatic water level controller system with GSM
notification. It is designed to control flow and pumping of water to over-head
tank. The Water Level Controller System is an Electronic Equipment which when
electrically connected to the starter of any given pump -set motor will control
the operation of the pump-set depending upon the water level in the Source and
Destination Storage Tanks. It Switches ON the Pump-set when Water level drops
below preset level in Overhead Tank and
send an sms to the user in other to notify him/her the water of the tank,
Switches OFF the Pump-set when Water level in Overhead Tank becomes full. This
work is aim at constructing an automatic water level controller that will
control the flow and pumping of water in the overhead tank which is controlled
by 89c52 microcontroller.
INTRODUCTION
The System is an Electronic Equipment
which when electrically connected to the starter of any given pump-set motor
will control the operation of the pump-set depending upon the water level in
the Source and Destination Storage Tanks. It Switches ON the Pump-set when
Water level drops below pre-set level in Overhead Tank, Switches OFF the
Pump-set when Water level in Overhead Tank becomes full. Automatic water level controller circuit is an
engineering project. It can automatically switch ON and OFF the domestic water
pump set depending on the tank water level. You can implement this motor driver
circuit at your home or college using less costly components. The main
advantage of this water level controller with gsm notification circuit is that
it automatically controls the water pump with user interaction based on sms
communication. The automatic pump controller eliminates the need for any manual
switching of pumps installed for the purpose of pumping water from a reservoir
to an overhead tank. It automatically switches on the pump when the water level
in the tank falls below a certain low level, provided the water level in the
reservoir is above a certain level. Subsequently, as the water level in the
tank rises to an upper level (M), the pump switched off automatically. The pump
is turned on again only when the water level again falls below level in the
tank. This automated action continues.
OBJECTIVE
OF THE PROJECT
The objective to design a
microcontroller based water level controller device monitors and controls the
level of water in the overhead or underground tank which composes of four
indicating LEDs (red, orange, blue and yellow) for lower, medium, upper and
full level. If the level of water is full, the three LED goes OFF, then if it
goes below high level, yellow is ON. Now, if it goes below medium level, blue
would be turned ON, and automatically send an sms to user to inform him/her the
water level of the tank at the moment, hope you get the gist behind this
project, it pumps automatically. This work was built using 89c52
microcontroller.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
An Automatic Water Level Controller
(AWLC) will automatically send an sms using the gsm module embedded on it and
will at same time START the pump set as soon as the water level falls below the
predetermined level (usually kept half or 2/3rd tank) and shall SWITCH OFF the
pump set as soon as tank is full.
- This system provides you the flexibility to decide for yourself the water levels for operations of pump set in upper or lower tanks.
- Built in Indications for showing Full, Empty Levels in Upper Tank Indication.
- Manual operation switch for special operations like watering the plants from pump set.
- The system ensures no overflows or dry running of pump there by saves electricity and water.
- Consume very little energy, ideal for continuous operation.
- Suitability: These water level controllers are ideally suited for normal water as well as for ultra low conductivity water with less than 1 micro/module.
- Easy to Operate: this system come fitted with sensitivity setting which can be provided externally on a dial or with internal settings.
- Settings: It is equipped with technology which works on low or high sensitivity settings on the same machine and thereby saves costs of buying and using two different machines.
- Materials of Construction: This water control system is protected the against corrosion.
- Safety: This system is highly insulated, leakage proof and works without creating any noise.
- Save roofs.
- Save water.
APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT
Water
level controller is an application which detects the level of water in the tank
and sms to the user then triggers the pump-set. They are useful devices and
play an important role in various industries such as automobile, irrigation,
and also at homes, or wherever water is pump either underground or overhead.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
This
water controller will give you a heads-up the instant over-head tank and
underground tank is full or goes below the required level, hopefully giving you
time to close windows and bring in possessions. The circuit draws virtually no
current when the sensors are dry and the current consumption is low when the sms
mode is triggered. Alternately, a molded power supply with a simple voltage regulator
to drop the voltage to 5 volts could be used.
LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT
Sensors
used are built with conductive material, which means that they are subject to
rusting or corrosion. When rusting occurs the sensors will stop conducting
thereby causing this device will stop working.
PROJECT WORK ORGANIZATION
The
various stages involved in the development of this project have been properly
put into five chapters to enhance comprehensive and concise reading. In this
project thesis, the project is organized sequentially as follows: Chapter one
of this work is on the introduction to a water level controller with gsm
notification. In this chapter, the background, significance, objective
limitation and problem of a water level controller were discussed. Chapter two
is on literature review of a past water level controller. In this chapter, all
the literature pertaining to this work was reviewed. Chapter three is on design
methodology. In this chapter all the method involved during the design and
construction were discussed. Chapter four is on testing analysis. All testing
that result accurate functionality was analyzed. Chapter five is on conclusion,
recommendation and references
