    This document describes a water level controller circuit project using an 8051 microcontroller that automatically controls a water pump motor based on the water level in a tank. It uses four probes placed at different water levels to sense the water level and an 8051 microcontroller with ports connected to the probes and a relay to control the motor. The microcontroller also connects to an LCD to display the current water level. When the tank is empty, it displays "LOW" and runs the motor, displaying "HALF" at the midpoint and "FULL" when full, turning the motor off.

    Water Level Controller using 8051

    Microcontroller
    Aim:

    Project for Water Level Controller using 8051 Microcontroller.This project will help in
    automatically controlling the water motor by sensing the water level in a tank.

    Working:

    This project explains you how to detect and control the water level in an overhead
    tank or any other container. This system monitors the water level of the tank and
    automatically switches ON the motor whenever tank is empty. The motor is switched OFF
    when the overhead tank or container is FULL. Here, the water level of the tank is indicated
    on LCD (Liquid crystal Display). Using this system, we can avoid the overflow of the water.

    Water Level Controller using 8051 Circuit Principle

    This system mainly works on a principle that “water conducts electricity”.


    The four wires which are dipped into the tank will indicate the different water levels. Based
    on the outputs of these wires, microcontroller displays water level on LCD as well as controls
    the motor.

    Initially when the tank is empty, LCD will display the message LOW and motor runs
    automatically. When water level reaches to half level, now LCD displays HALF and still
    motor runs.

    When the tank is full, LCD displays FULL and motor automatically stops. Again, the motor
    runs when water level in the tank becomes LOW.

    How to Design Circuit for Water Level Controller using 8051 Microcontroller?

    The heart of the Water Level Controller using 8051 Microcontroller


    project is the AT89C51 Microcontroller. The water level probes are connected to the P0.0,
    P0.1 and P0.2 through the transistors (they are connected to the base of the transistors
    through corresponding current limiting resistors). P0.0 for LOW level, P0.1 for HALF Level
    and P0.2 for HIGH Level.

    The Collector terminals of the Transistors are connected to VCC and the Emitter terminals
    are connected to PORT0 terminals (P0.0, P0.1 and P0.2).

    PORT1 of the microcontroller is connected to the data pins of LCD and the control pins RS,
    RW and EN of the LCD Display are connected to the P3.6, GND and P3.7 respectively.

    For demonstration purpose, we have used a simple DC Motor Pump. It is connected to the
    Relay and the input to the relay is fed from P0.7 through a transistor.

    Algorithm for Water Level Controller Circuit

     First configure the controller pins P0.0, P0.1 and P0.2 as inputs and P0.7 as output.
     Now, initialize the LCD.
     Continuously check the water level input pins P0.0, P0.1 and P0.2.
     If all the pins are low, then display tank as “EMPTY” on the LCD and make P0.7 pin
    HIGH to run the motor automatically.
     If the level is low i.e. if P0.0 is HIGH, display the water level as “LOW” and continue
    to run the motor.
     A HIGH pulse on the pin P0.1 indicates that water has reached half level. So, display
    the same thing on LCD and run the motor normally.
     If P0.2 is HIGH, then the water level in the tank is FULL.
     Now, make the P0.7 pin as LOW to turn off the motor automatically.

    How to Operate Water Level Controller Circuit using 8051 Microcontroller?

    1. Initially, write the program for Water Level Controller in Keil µVision IDE and
    generate the .hex file.
    2. Burn the program (.hex file) to the microcontroller using external programmer and
    Willar Software.
    3. Now give the connections as per the circuit diagram.
    4. While giving the connections, make sure that there is no common connection between
    AC and DC supplies (if you are using an AC Motor)
    5. Place the 4 water level indicating wires into the small tank (3 probes for three
    different levels and fourth one for common supply)
    6. Switch on the supply. Now, the motor will run automatically as there is no water in
    the tank. (It will turn on even if the water level is LOW).
    7. Now pour the water, when it reaches LOW level, then LCD displays LOW.
    8. For middle level, it will display as HALF on the LCD.
    9. Still if you pour the water, then the water level reaches full and the LCD displays
    FULL and also the motor is turned OFF automatically.
    10. Switch off the motor supply and board supply.
    Water Level Controller Circuit Advantages

     Human effort is reduced as the system controls the motor automatically based on the
    water level.
     This system consumes less power.
     Simple and more reliable.

    Applications of Water Level Controller Circuit using 8051

     Used in big buildings where the manual monitoring is difficult.


    o Used in industries to control the liquid level automatically.

    Conclusion:

    This project explains you how to detect and control the water level in an overhead
    tank or any other container. It’s very use full many places for water conservation and it
    reduce the water waste.
