Implementation of ultrasonic sensor as a chemical percol fluid level control based on Atmega 16

Abstract

Abstract The use of a transmitter level detects the liquid level of a chemical percolation tank instead of a level switch, because the transmitter level provides accuracy in reading the value of the chemical fluid level. Ease of installing the transmitter level can be programmed and set up easily. The high price of a transmitter level causes entrepreneurs in the industrial world not to use the transmitter level as a reader or detector of chemical fluid levels in the production process. Based on this background, the chemical fluid level control device was designed using an ultrasonic sensor, by implementing Atmega16 as a controller. Controlling the level of chemical percolation fluid level using an ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 as a reader or level detector. Drivers to run the motor when filling the chemical fluid tank of percol are run manually or automatically. The overall test results of ultrasonic sensors work optimum that is 75% of the 8 test data according to program settings. The average value of the ultrasonic sensor error to detect the level of percolating fluid in both tank 1 and tank 2 is 0.125 cm.
