AUTOMATIC WATER LEVEL CONTROLLER FOR SUBMERSIBLE PUMP

Problem Statement :

(Date:12 Sep 2021)

The water tank pump in the polyhouse is worked on the principle of float switch, because of that water pump turns ON/OFF after 5 Minutes continuously that’s why it causes unnecessary energy losses.

Objectives:

To reduce unnecessary energy losses so we are control water pump through auto -time delay by electronic circuit.

Basic Principle:

(Date:13 Sep 2021)

When water tank gets full after that float sensor gives high value to Arduino.
After 2 hours relay gets activated
Water pump will be ON for 10 Minutes.

Introduction:

Magnetic float Sensor:

The magnetic float sensor is an electromagnetic on/off switch.
These sensors have a permanent magnet in the float.
The switch is present in the white stem of the sensor.
A magnetic float sensor is a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank.
The switch may be used in a pump, an indicator, an alarm, or other devices.

Pieces of Equipment:

Arduino UNO (01)
Magnetic Float Sensor (01)
Relay 5V (01)
USB Cable (01)
Adapter 12V (01)
Jumper Wires
Flexible Electrical Wire
Acrylic Sheet (5mm)

Software Used:

#define relay 7
#define FS 2
int led =13;
int buttonState=0;
bool x=true;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(FS ,INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(led,OUTPUT);
pinMode(relay,OUTPUT);
}

void loop(){
  buttonState=digitalRead(FS);
  if (buttonState==HIGH && x==true)
  {
   Serial.print(" - Water level is HIGH");
    delay(7200000);
    digitalWrite(relay, LOW);
    Serial.println(" - Pump is on");
    delay(600000);
    x=false;
    
  }
  else if (buttonState==LOW){
    Serial.print(" - Water level is LOW");
    digitalWrite(relay, HIGH);
    Serial.println(" - Pump is off");
   delay(1000);
   x=true;
    }
   else
   {
    Serial.println("Error");
    digitalWrite(relay, HIGH);
    Serial.println(" - Pump is off");
   }
    delay(500);
   }

Testing on DC supply:

(Date: 18 Sep 2021)

Upload the code in Arduion with the help of USB Cable.
Check the working water levle controller kit on DC supply.
Serial Moniter Shows the water level in the tank and shows the ON/OFF conditions of pump.

Design a press-fit Box for casing:

(Date:20 Sep 2021)

Used Coral Draw software to design a press-fit box for casing
Save the design file with .DXF extension.

Import the.DXF extension file in the RDWorks Software.
The RDWorks Software is used to command the Laser Cutter machine.

RDWorks software are used to give the Power and Speed to the Machine.
The Power and Speed are different for different materials and their materials thickness
Then Follow the guideline chart which is given below :-
