Modeling and Simulation for Level & Flow Control System Using Microcontroller

This work describes a design and implementation of the level & flow rate control system by using a single-chip microcontroller. The proposed model system is designed based on the use of the single-chip microcontroller 8031 with the EPROM emulator for programming the computer software. The microcontroller reaches the input level and flow signals from the level sensor and the turbine flowmeter, respectively, via the signal conditioning circuits and A/D converters in order to calculate the control signal. Moreover, the status of the process variable can easily be set up and controlled by program monitoring through the emulator, and can be graphically displayed on the computer screen. Experiment results were carried out which can be ...
