Automatic Monitoring and Control System for Different Water Levels in Interconnected Multiple Twin Tanks with Dry Run Protection Using Microprocessor Orange Pi

Abstract

The proposed system effectively controlled and monitored the water level of the dual tank system with efficient dry-run protection to prevent the motor from burning out and avoid wastage of electricity in case of no water. An Orange Pi was used to test its working and ability to control and monitor a real-time system as no prior research is done on a dual water tank control system using Orangepi SBC. Due to COVID-19, millions of people's financial condition has worsened, which is why an initiative is taken to use the cheap board for making prototypes and moving towards PLCs after the desired outcomes. This research aims to provide a system at cheaper rates to handle large water tanks. This system is very efficient and valuable in dams, tanks, purifiers, and water containers. The proposed system also has dry run protection to avoid wastage of electricity in case of no water. The research is an advancement in automation in real-time virtual monitoring and different water level control systems. This research makes life more comfortable because real-time monitoring with a water control system reduces water wastage, leading to the complete modern solution of the problems.
