Construction design system of constant pressure control in water distribution system with PID method using PLC based on IoT

Abstract

Abstract The objective of this research is to make a constant pressure control in water supply with the method of PID using PLC Siemens S7-1200 as a controller and also to monitor the process of its work system from a distance through the internet of things (IoT). The water distribution system is created utilizing 3 phase pump which will supply water from the tank. The pressure sensor will be used as an analog input signal of PLC to detect the pressure of water in the pipe. Using inverter, water pressure will be kept constantly matched with the desired set point through the setting of pump speed using the digital PID method that is available on PLC. The score of the set point is done through HMI of touch panel KTP700basic. By using Wi-Fi communication that has been connected to the internet, PLC data can be sent to a cloud server through raspberry pi3 using the MQTT protocol. Raspberry pi3 program is designed using the java script coding language. Research result showing that this system can keep the water pressure at a constant level of 1.2 bar in the water supply. It is also able to monitor the water pressure through HMI and handphone via IoT Technology in the GoIoT server.
