WATER LEVEL MONITORING & CONTROL TO SAVE POWER AND MOTOR PROTECTOR

ABSTRACT
AIM: The main objective of this project is to develop an embedded system, which will detect the level of water in a storage container based on its capacity range and also the protection of the motor along with the power saving mode.

IMPLEMENTATION: This project is implemented 8051 based At89s52 developed board interfaced with Analog Comparator, Relay and LCD for displaying the data.

DESCRIPTION:

Water level or liquid level needs to be monitored in various situations and places, as in, domestic purposes i.e. in water storage tanks, industrial maintenance like cooling mechanism etc. The water level needs to be maintained to a particular constant level to avoid complications. The main objective of this project is to develop an embedded system, which will detect the level of water in a storage container based on its capacity range and also the protection of the motor along with the power saving mode.

The system consists of a group of probes of different lengths, submerged into the liquid/water. The level is detected based upon the number of probe touching the water surface. Based upon the water level, the water pump can either be turned on or off.

The system uses a compact circuitry build around flash version of AT89S52 microcontroller with a non volatile memory

Programs are developed using Embedded C, compiled using RIDE tool. ISP is used to dump the code into microcontroller.

SOFTWARE: EMBEDDED C RIDE TO WRITE CODE ISP TO BURN THE CHIP

HARDWARE: AT89S52 BASED OUR OWN DEVELOPED BOARD POWER SUPPLY Analog Comparator Relay LCD

ADVANTAGES: Low cost, automated operation, Low Power consumption.
