Remotely controlled water channel system for laboratory education utilizing internet of things and SCADA technologies

Abstract

This paper was discussed the hardware components of a remotely controlled water channel management system for laboratory education utilizing the internet of things(IoT) and supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADAs). The system consists of various sensors and devices included the air pressure sensor (mpx5010dp), water pressure sensor, ultrasonic distance sensor (JSNSR04T) and solenoid water valve plastic. The air pressure sensor (mpx5010dp) was used to detect the water level in the manometer of the pitot tube, a water pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of water, an ultrasonic distance sensor (JSN-SR04T) for detecting the level of water in the channel, a solenoid water valve plastic with relay for protecting the motor when the water level in the tank reduces to 5 cm. These components work together to monitor and control the water channel system remotely, providing users with a more scalable, flexible, and accessible solution for laboratory education. Also, a web page was developed with an IoT and SCADA system for remote control and management of a water channel system that was used for teaching hydraulic and hydrological concepts to students.
