Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a system of automatic water level motor control. Particularly, the present invention relates to the system and method of automatic water level motor control that eliminates the need for additional starters or contactors for controlling operation of a motor. More particularly, the present invention relates to the system with integrated sensors and timer for controlling the operation of the motor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Water management has become important in modern households, industries, and agricultural settings. Various systems are designed to ensure efficient water usage, prevent wastage, and maintain a consistent water supply. Traditional water management approaches often rely on manual intervention, which is time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to human error.
[003] Energy efficiency is another important consideration in water management systems. Some conventional controllers may not optimize motor operation based on real-time conditions, potentially leading to unnecessary energy consumption. Furthermore, the lack of comprehensive safety features in some systems can result in motor damage due to dry runs, voltage fluctuations, or other abnormal conditions.
[004] Various automatic water level control systems have been developed to automate motor operations based on water level detection in tanks or reservoirs. Examples of such solutions include systems that utilize simple float switches, analog water level sensors, and microcontroller-based control units.
[005] Conventional water level automation systems typically require two separate and distinct components i.e. an automatic water level controller, a microprocessor-based unit that integrates sensor inputs, user commands, and controls the power supply to motor starters. A separate motor starter unit that employs switches and contactors to physically initiate and control the water motor. This two-tiered approach results in increased system complexity, higher costs, and a larger physical footprint due to the presence of multiple components.
[006] The conventional system lacks adaptability to different motor specifications and come with factory programmed system parameter and changing them requires costly software reprogramming for each motor design with unique timing requirements, upper or lower voltage and current threshold to protect the motor. These systems lack the ability to incorporate time-based scheduling, such as automatically starting the motor at a specific time of the day while allowing sensor inputs to turn-off motor when sensor sense full tank condition. The absence of integrated time-based scheduling in traditional systems limits their flexibility and restricts their ability to automate water filling operations based on predetermined time windows.
[007] Traditional automatic water controllers lack real-time event notification capabilities, leaving users unaware of motor start/stop events and the reasons for these events (e.g., sensor triggers, manual commands) and hinders users from accurately tracking the energy costs associated with motor operation and optimizing their usage patterns for maximum energy savings. Currently, monitoring energy consumption requires the use of external devices such as separate electricity meters adding to the overall system cost and complexity.
[008] A patent document US11781673B2 titled “Water level control system” discloses a method and apparatus for monitoring a water level in a basin are disclosed. An automatic refill system includes a level sensor coupled to a refill valve system. The refill valve system has a valve driven by an actuator. The actuator receives a signal from a controller in response to a measured water level. The refill valve system flows water into a basin from a water source until a desired level is reached.
[009] Another patent document IN2031/CHE/2008 titled “Automatic water level control system” discloses an automatic water level control system for managing water levels in tanks. The system primarily focuses on controlling the electrical phase input power supply.
[0010] In order to overcome the problem associated with state of arts, there is a need for the development of an automatic motor operation control system that can overcome the aforesaid limitations in a more efficient manner.

[0013] Yet another objective of the present invention is to enhance system reliability by eliminating the use of centrifugal switches and contactors.
[0014] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a simple wireless mechanism for configuring system parameters, including but not limited to: start duration, sensor input enable/disable settings, and the activation/deactivation of over/under-voltage and over/under-current monitoring and their associated actions.
[0015] Yet another objective of the present invention is to develop a cost-effective system by leveraging a microcontroller to manage motor circuitry, accommodate diverse input options for motor control, and enhance system flexibility and user-friendliness.
[0016] Another objective of the present invention is to prevent water wastage by automatically switching off the motor before the tank overflows.

Further, the wireless sensor data transmitter (190) is connected to the plurality of sensors (115, 116) by one or more ways. Further, the one or more ways may include but not limited to wiredly and wirelessly, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3.
[0053] The system (100) utilizes various sensors to monitor the system (100) conditions and trigger appropriate actions. The sensors (115, 116) include digital sensor (115) and analog sensor (116). In an exemplary embodiment, the digital sensors (115), may be such as float switches, are employed to detect specific conditions, such as water levels in tanks. The digital sensors (115) typically provide a binary output, indicating either an open or closed state. The analog sensors (116) are employed to continuously monitor physical parameters, such as water levels within the tank. These sensors exhibit variable states, ranging from fully open to fully closed, or partially open, depending on the prevailing water level and conditions within the tank.
[0054] Furthermore, the analog sensors (116) play a crucial role in detecting dry run conditions. By monitoring water flow within the inlet pipe, these sensors can detect the presence or absence of water. In an exemplary embodiment, the analog sensor (116) detects a lack of water flow, it indicates a potential dry run condition, prompting the system to initiate appropriate actions, such as shutting down the motor to prevent damage. There may be 4 sensors employed in the system (100), 2 sensors (empty and full) in overhead tank, 1 empty sensor in sump tank/underground tank/reservoir, 1 sensor in the pipe, as shown in Figure 4. The system (100) supports both types of sensors that is analog and digital sensor.

[0057] The run capacitor (114) is also connected to the motor's (108) auxiliary winding. The run capacitor (114) plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal motor (108) performance and efficiency during operation. The run capacitor (114) is used in both capacitor start and capacitor run (CSCR) motors (160) and non- CSCR motors that do not require a separate start capacitor (110).

? receiving wirelessly reprogramming instructions by a software module (170) in-stalled in a user device for remotely configuring a plurality of operational parame-ters to optimize a motor (160) performance based on real-time operating condi-tions;
? adjusting the operational parameters based on the received instructions by the user for adjusting to varying operating conditions of the motor (160);
? monitoring energy consumption of the motor (160) during operation by an energy monitoring unit (108) for optimizing water usage and minimizing energy costs;
? storing the energy consumption data in a memory unit (107) for analysis, monitor-ing and retrieving the energy consumption data later;
? transmitting the energy consumption data to the software module (170) by a wire-less communication module (105) for presenting the data to the user;
? detecting water levels using a plurality of sensors (115, 116) for detecting presence and absence of water in the tank; and
? automatically terminating operation of the motor (160) upon detecting water level by the sensors (115, 116) for preventing overflow and dry run condition of water in the tank.
9. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the configuring of the operational parame-ters include at least one of a duration of start capacitor engagement, voltage thresholds, and current thresholds.
10. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the software module (170) generates de-tailed reports and visualizations based on the stored energy consumption data for presenting the data to the user in the software module.
