Description
Summary:This article aims to describe the design of a circuit of a level transducer implemented by means of an ultrasonic sensor and controlled by Arduino Nano, applied to a water tank of a firefighting system. Initially, the integration of the Siemens 1212C programmable logic controller is described, in the connection between the sensor, the controller and the interfaces that allow to generate the monitoring, control and data recording, conditioned by a PWM pulse width modulated signal controlled by Arduino Nano. When developing the research and performing an analysis of the linear regression model, it is established that the behavior of the controlled variable with respect to time, generates a linear voltage response in the range of 0 to 10 volts; expressing in terms of correlational relationship a factor of R2 equal to 0.997, thus establishing that the designed transducer does not show susceptibility to noise or disturbances in the start-up of the firefighting system.
