Abstract

The real-time monitoring of water level is a key element for the security and automation of shiplock. To meet the requirement of real time measurement and information releasing of multipoint water level for a shiplock station, a multi-channel water level monitoring and SMS interaction system based on high-performance MCU W77E58 is designed. Pressure water level sensors are used to acquire multipoint real-time water levels at upstream, downstream, lock chamber points. The water level information is processed by MCU and transmitted to the remote IPC through the RS485 bus. IPC interface is designed basing on VB6.0. It completes the bi-directional interaction of water level information to cell phone users with GSM module by sending short messages. Site operation shows that overall scheme of the system is reasonable, hardware and software works well and running costs is relatively low. The system fully meets the requirements of shiplock and is worth popularizing and application.
