CHAPTER 1:

INTRODUCTION

1.1-Problem summary:

1.1.1-Project Objective:

The objective of this project is to design and construct an automatic pond automation system for those who cannot take care and keep an eye on their fish and aquarium daily and minimize the manual factor as much as possible. The aquarium will perform all the steps automatically like temperature control, turbidity level under control, feeding etc. and would send all the information on cell phone via GSM Mobile.

1.1.2-Motivation:We all know, today is the world of new scientific inventions. Every day there are some

new inventions in almost every field, in the world. World is becoming very fast and automatic

because of these inventions day by day. So we have decided very cheap alternative to make the

process of maintaining the fish aquarium fully automatic.

1.1.3-Problem Solution:The project has been chosen to minimize the problems of fish keepers or aquarists by shifting

it from manual to the automatic mode. Fish keepers or aquarists now would not have to watch

out and keep an eye on their aquarium and fish again and again. Prawn pond automation system

would be there. If any problem occurs, the aquarium would generate a report and send it on cell

phone via GSM Mobile. The advantages of this project are:

1. No need to watch out Temperature

2. No need to watch out Turbidity level

3. No need to change water manually

4. No need to feed manually

5. No need for power control

1.1.4-Introduction:Pet ownership has been increasing at a steady pace in the last 20 years. After cats and dogs, the

most popular pet is now the freshwater fish. The maintenance of fish aquariums is a very

difficult task itself. Whenever you have to clean up your aquarium or you have to feed, you have

to do a lot of things. You have to turn off your aquarium's power head/air pump and feed

manually and turn on the air again after an hour.

The project with which we came up is an Automated Fish Aquarium. The project will be more

efficient than the systems available in market, now days. In addition to the efficiency it will be of

lower cost as well. The project’s audience is the group of people interested to keep fishes at

prawn pond or offices but don’t have time to take care of, or they are worried to keep on asking

their neighbors to take care of the fishes in their absence.

The project is an automated system to take care of fishes. It will replace the manual maintenance

of fish aquarium with its automated functions. It will monitor the physical changes in the water

and will maintain it to the ideal conditions, with required changes.

1.1.5-Key Points: To build a low cost aquarium for agriculture industry

To make the work easier and automatic

1.1.6-Functionality:Main principle of the project is to sense the changes via sensors. These changes will be

then processed by the Controller. The microcontroller installed in the circuit will be performing

the main task of controlling. Controller will send commands to the actuators where the output

part will be observed working to sustain the ideal conditions. There will be a temperature sensor,

turbidity sensor, PH level sensor, water level sensor, heater, feeder, an LCD and a GSM Mobile.

They all will be interfaced with the controller. If anything happens or changes, the controller will

start working to reach back to the ideal state. The normal temperature of fresh water aquarium is

considered to be 28-30 degree Celsius. If temperature exceeds, the controller would start the fan

till the desired temperature is not achieved. If the temperature goes down, the heater will be on

until the temperature does not reach to the normal temperature. After every 24 hours the

controller would turn on the feeder for feeding purpose. If the turbidity level has increased

beyond the normal then controller will change the water. Half of the water will be flushed

through solenoid valves so that the temperature would not change rapidly which could harm the

fish. The ongoing process and situation like temperature, feeding, changing water etc. will be

shown on the LCD. The owner could also get the report regarding the situation of aquarium on

his/her cell phone by just asking the GSM Mobile or after every 24 hours the GSM Mobile

would generate the report and send it on the mobile phone.

1.2-Aim & objective of the project:

1.2.1-aim:The aim of our project is to replace manual maintenance of prawn pond automation system with

an automated system.

1.2.2-Objective:The objective of our project is to perform following tasks automatically, when really required.

1. Remove wastes & keep water clean

2. Send the report of change in pH level to the owner’s cell phone

3. Feed on a regular basis

4. Stabilize temperature

5. Give a light for pond

6. Give a uninterrupted power using solar system

1.3-Problem Specifications

1.3.1-Problem Discussion:Usually aquarium care takers face several problems in maintenance the vitality and health

of fishes along with the presentation of the aquarium. Some of the problems are mentioned as

under:

1.3.2-Common Problems Faced by Aquarium Caretakers1. Difficulty in changing the aquarium water

2. Difficulty in maintaining the pH of the water in an aquarium

3. Difficulty in feeding the fish

4. Difficulty in controlling the turbidity of the water in an aquarium

5. Difficulty in figuring out when the water is to be filtered

6. Difficulty in maintaining the temperature of the aquarium

1.4-Brief literature review and Prior Art Search

1.4.1-Literature Review:

1.4.1.1-Related Work:From simple battery operated, to state-of-the-art electronic devices, automatic aquarium

fish feeders come in an array of styles. While some are moisture controlled units designed to

prevent flake, pellet and other dried foods from clumping, others not only have the capability of

releasing a variety of different fares, but at specific times and intervals. From small to large

capacity feeders with single to multi-purpose functions, here are some units your Guides

consider to be the best choices.

1.4.1.7-Study of alternative devices [6]:

Several devices are available in the market which can be helpful to automate the aquarium

maintenance as required.

1. Feeders are available with timers to automate the feeding of fishes. The device

can be replaced by a simple and cheap system comprising of a stepper motor based

mechanical structure controlled by the controller.

2. Water coolers are available to reduce the temperature when it goes higher. It can

be replaced using fans placed well to cool down the aquarium when temperature goes

high. Similarly heaters can be replaced by high intensity lights.

3. PLC based systems are available for aquarium maintenance. We may design a

system working on a micro-controller to make it more cost effective.

1.4.2-LITERATURE SURVEYAs per our survey currently there exists no system at cheaper rates. Various systems are

hard to install, difficult to use and maintain. Current systems are hard to install, difficult

to use and maintain. Current systems are generally proprietary and closed, not very

customizable by the end user.

AQUAPONICS LTD. [1] explained the model for the water temperature control using

Bluetooth via pc. But unfortunately the system lacks to support mobile technology.

Looking at the above 05 Patents, please explain about rational of selection of your

dissertation project?

So as listed above patent the number of the rational selection is done as the explained below

1. In this patents the filtration and the temperature measurement of the water is done so in our

project we use simple method of temperature control.

2. The water change is best process for changing the parameter of the water with more speed so

if the system is highly unstable for any parameter the automatically water change can be done.

3. Best options for feeding the aqua life is automatic feed system so the no more or less feed is

done in aqua system

4. Some of the aqua life is dependent on the sunlight so we provide the accurate light intensity to

tank by using this type of lighting scheme.

CHAPTER 2

DESIGN

2.1-Methodology:

The development of SMART aquarium can be divided into following major phases:

1. Project design

2. Analysis and, component level design and selection

3. Assembly and hardware testing

4. Simulation development and Verification

5. Development for future implementation

2.1.1-Project Design:The Project design phase included mainly the determination of general layout and design

of the SMART aquarium. The first step in this phase was the identification of design goals. The

following things were required:

1. Dimensions of the aquarium

2. Thickness of the glass

3. Compatibility for freshwater, brackish and marine

2.1.2- Analysis and, component level design and selection:Once a general design was decided, we decided to make specific choices regarding

component selection and design. We select the different task to be done as ph detection, salinity

detection, temperature detection, light intensity detection, power loss detection, temperature

alert, ph level alert, pond water level alert etc.

2.1.3-Assembly and hardware testing:Once all components were selected and all major functional parts were designed, the

major part of assembly and hardware testing of the different modules was done. In order to test

the circuit, it was first simulated on Proteus in order to minimize the hardware and circuit failure

risks. GSM Mobile, turbidity sensor, temperature sensor, motors and different testing of other

components was done and results were compared.

2.1.4-Simulation development and Verification:Test results were simulated to achieve the desired goals and then they were verified to get

the desired outcome.

2.1.5-Development for future implementation:When all the steps; design selection, components selection, components, modules and sensors

testing, simulation and verification was done, the work remained to be done was to make our

project for future implementation, which included more advanced components, sensors, modules

etc.

2.1.6-Market adaptability:The idea of making the aquarium automatic is not new. It is being used in the agriculture

sector as well as commercially but the aquariums available in the markets are semi-automatic or

manual; they are not fully automatic as we have designed.

The prawn pond automation system is not so much expensive that’s why it can be used by an

individual aquarist, fish keeper, and can also be used for large scale.

2.2Implimantaion strategy:

2.2.1-Observation matrix

FIGURE 5 OBSERVATION MATRIXObservation matrix gives us information about challenges and observation taken in research work of project.Its contain the observations scouted challenges and top 5 problem on basis of desirability, feasibility.As the observation matrix the point is discussed as the described below

1. observations

Water treatment plant as the shown in the water treatment plant the whole water parameter are check in the laboratory of the treatment plant instead of we has to described the system which is inbuilt automatic laboratory to check the water parameter like ph,salinity,and temperature etc.

Agriculture: same way in agriculture the system who can measure the water parameter like salinity in terms of the hardness.

Aquarium: in aquarium the different aqua culture want the different type of the parameter of the water so it’s necessary of the system which automatically does this job.

Water fountain show: at the water fountain show the flow of water and hardness of water means a lot for the difference so measure of this parameter want to calculated.

Fisheries: same way in the aquarium the fisheries want the same need.

2. Scouted challenges:

Agriculture and environment study: if going to design the system so we first want to check the environment parameter as then have to count the preferred count so at last we can control the all water parameters

Water hardness check :second challenge is to check the hardness of the flow of water if we going to check the hardness of the ground water its easy but check of the flow of water is some bit difficult

Selection of the microcontroller for sensitive environment: the aqua life is so sensitive to the simple change in the water so we has to take the controller of the high speed which can control parameter in the high speed.

Detection of dissolved ammonia : as the detection of the dissolved ammonia is so difficult task so we want to find the electronics component to change in nature with respect to the quantity of the ammonia In the water.

3.problem on basis of feasibility, desirability, viability :as going to see this three fector different thinks are as below

Ph check

Hardness check

Chlorine detection

Ammonia detection

4.final problem:

Final problem is to detect the all the water parameter using the electronics components and sensor so we has to discuss the all the electronics component which are get the water parameter check and give the accurate value using the electronics.

2.2.2-ideation canvas

FIG.6 IDEATION MATRIXIdeation canvas gives us a practice for identification of the people work on the field of the basic task of our project. And activity did by them under certain condition.

1.People:Fisherman: the fisherman require this system to get the water data for the best of the fish to grow easily

CHAPTER NO 3

IMPLEMENTATION

3.1introduction to actual implementation

An internet based prawn pond automation system focuses on controlling prawn pond electronic

devices whether you are inside or outside your pond site. Prawn pond automation gives an

individual the ability to remotely or automatically control things around the prawn pond. A

prawn pond appliance is a device or instrument designed to perform a specific function,

especially an electrical device, such as a water pump, feeder use. The words appliance and

devices are used interchangeably.

Automation is today’s fact, where things are being controlled automatically, usually the basic

tasks of turning on/off certain devices and beyond, either remotely or in close proximity.

Automation lowers the human judgment to the lowest degree possible but does not completely

eliminate it. The concept of remote management of porn pond automation devices over the GSM

from anywhere, any time in the world today can be a reality. Assume a system where from the

office desk, the user could view the status of the devices and decides to take control by tuning his

TV set to his favorite channel, turns on the cooling system, say the air conditioner, and switches

on or off some of the lights. This user could walk back prawn pond and only finds a very

comfortable, pleasant prawn pond.

The recent developments in technology which permit the use of radio frequency technology such

as Bluetooth have enabled different devices to have capabilities of communicating with each

other. Bluetooth is a new technology, which has at its centre the goal of eliminating wired

connections between computers. Instead of connecting with wires, every appliance has small

transmitters/receivers. With this in mind, I propose to design an GSM based prawn pond

automation system for remote control of prawn pond appliances.

Many people are always on the move from place to place due to business demands. Some people

can spend a couple of days away from their prawn pond leaving all their prawn pond appliances

without any kind of monitoring and control. Some devices are left plugged into power sockets

whereas others are supposed to be plugged into and out of power sockets at different intervals

depending on the time of the day. All this requires an individual to manually attend to each of the

devices independently from time to time. All such monitoring and control can be done without

necessarily being around or inside the prawn pond. Some devices if not controlled properly

consume a lot of energy which leads to extra expenditure on electricity. Therefore I propose to

design an SMS based prawn pond automation system which will enable one to remotely manage

his/her appliances from anywhere, anytime.

3.2result

A prawn pond automation system focuses on controlling prawn pond electronic devices whether you are inside or outside your prawn pond. Smart Prawn pond gives an individual the ability to remotely or automatically control things around the prawn pond. A Smart prawn pond is a device or instrument designed to perform a specific function, especially an electrical device, such as a refrigerator, for household use. The task can be performed by on bases of sensor data. Which will take itself decision and action to perform.

Example.

In a project we have used a ph Sensor. the sensor is calibrated using the main ckt and the raw data is collected in the set point is set to indicate the ph detections.

Now when in a House or in a workshop if any harmful gases are leak and if the gas intensity goes on increasing then.

The microcontroller indicates the present of ph like “ph=6.9” on LCD screen. And a heavy duty water pump will be switched on. And a buzzer will beep continuously.

The recent developments in technology which permit the use of radio frequency technology such

as GSM have enabled different devices to have capabilities of communicating with each other.

Bluetooth is a new technology, which has at its center the goal of eliminating wired connections

between computers. Instead of connecting with wires, every appliance has small

transmitters/receivers. This is important because the range is so small, that it can be used in

apartments without much interference to your neighbors or from them. These are a few reasons

that make GSM technology ideal for prawn pond automation. With this in mind, I propose to

design an GSM based prawn pond automation system for remote control of prawn pond

appliances.

3.2.1What can prawn pond automation do?

Prawn pond automation can:

Increase your independence and give you greater control of your prawn pond environment.

Make it easier to communicate with your prawn pond. Save you time and effort. Improve your personal safety. Reduce your heating and cooling costs. Increase your prawn pond’s energy efficiency. Alert you audibly and visually to emergency situations. Allow you to monitor your prawn pond while you are away.

3.2.2The Primary Elements of a Prawn pond Automation System:

The operating system (for example, a computer, security system, a telephone or electricity).

The device being operated (for example, a water pump or feeder) The interface, or link, between the user and the device. An interface can be a button, a

keypad, a motion sensor and so on. For example, a thermostat equipped with a computer chip can be controlled by an interface such as a push button, which sends a signal to the pump to adjust the temperature for different times of the day and night.

3.2.3How can we control them?

Remote control

Remote control gives you the convenience of controlling lighting, appliances, security systems and consumer electronics from wherever you happen to be at the time, like your couch, car or even in your bed. There are several different "methods" of controlling devices remotely.

Automatic control

Automatic control adds even more convenience by making things happen automatically, without any effort being necessary. Examples include having your lights turn on at dusk and off at your desired time, having your whole prawn pond theater turn on and tune to the desired station after one press of a button on your remote.

3.2.4HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION

Circuit diagram

As shown in the circuit diagram the project contains the arduino mega 2560 controller which h is

a heart of the system. Same the way numbers of the input and output sensor and device are

connected to it with the help of the driver circuit.

Here as shown the GSM modem sim900 is connected to the controller on the pin d0 (digital

pin0/rx0). And the GSM modem ground and Vcc is connected to the ground and Vcc of

controller respectively. Second one is the lcd is connected to the controller in the manner of the

pin as the shown below

Pin 1(Ground) to GND

Pin 2 (Vcc) to 5V

Pin 3 (Contrast Adjustment) to GND

Pin 4 (H/L Register Select) to Arduino pin 12

Pin 5 (H/L Read/Write) to GND

Pin 6 (H/L Enable) to Arduino pin 11

Pin 11 (DB4) to Arduino pin 5

Pin 12 (DB5) to Arduino pin 4

Pin 13 (DB6) to Arduino pin 3

Pin 14 (DB7) to Arduino pin 2

Pin 16 (-vdd) to Arduino GND

pin 15 (+vdd) to Arduino Vcc

as the connection shown above the lcd is connected to the digital port of the arduino controller

now going to the third one device is rtc3231 for the real time clock for the accurate time and date

so by using this rtc we also conclude the temperature of the environment. The rtc3231 consist of

the main two pins which can be directly connected to the arduino port pin SDA and Scl with the

pin of the rtc sda and scl respectively. And Vcc and GND is connected to the Vcc and ground

respectively then servo motor is connected to the pwm pin of the arduino. At last the relay board

is connected to the digital pin of the arduino the relay board connected via the driver ic

uln2803A to connect the realy.
