Remote Control and Monitoring System for rural Pump stations using PLC

Abstract

Several water systems are mechanized to minimize human labor, optimize water utilization, and mitigate water wastage. The researchers suggested implementing remote administration and control for an automated water system. On a remote agricultural property, a pump will utilize a well to replenish a water tank with water. Because of the expensive nature of wired control, it is necessary to activate and deactivate this pump using wireless means in accordance with the water tank's filling level. The system's operator needs have constant access to a cell phone in order to monitor the water level in the tank. In order to accomplish the aforementioned objectives, this article utilizes a LOGO!® Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a LOGO!® Communication 
Module Radio (CMR) manufactured by SIEMENS. SIEMENS utilizes SoftComfort V8.3 as the software for programming and controlling the system.
