Design and Development of an Automatic Pump Switcher Using Ultrasonic Level Sensor, Contronix Controller and GSM Module

This project presents the design and development of an automatic pump switcher system using Siemens ultrasonic level sensor, Contronix control module, and GSM module. This system will be designed to automate the operation of water pumps in overhead tanks or reservoirs, ensuring efficient water management and reducing manual intervention.

This proposed system will offer a reliable and efficient solution for automatic pump control, and this will make it suitable for different types of applications that include industrial, commercial, and residential applications for water management systems.

Siemens Ultrasonic level sensor will measure water level in the tank and send a 4-20mA signal to the Contronix module, depending on the level in the tank, the level sensor will initiate the relay and Contactor to switch the pump(s) on or off.

The Contronix control module will process sensor data and control the pump operation. The contronix module also provides users with an interface display which is used for programming control parameters and for monitoring real time liquid level locally.

The GSM module will enable remote monitoring and control of the system via SMS providing users with real-time information.

The proposed system will prevent water overflow, conserve electric energy by switching off the pump in certain appropriate conditions, notify the user about the water level through an SMS alert or mobile app and last but not least to prevent the pump from running dry, thereby enhancing the longevity of the pump.
