, Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to automatic controller, and more specifically relates to, system and method for automatic monitoring and control of pump controllers forming a network.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Irrigation systems supply water to soil. They are primarily used to assist in the growing of agricultural crops and maintenance of landscapes. Irrigation systems typically include valves, controllers, pipes, and emitters such as sprinklers or drip tapes. Irrigation systems can be divided into zones because there is usually not enough pressure and available flow to run sprinklers or other water emitting components (e.g. drip tapes) for an entire yard, sports field, or other irrigation site at once. Each zone has a solenoid valve that is controlled via a typically wired connection by an irrigation controller. The irrigation controller is either a mechanical or electrical device that signals a zone to turn on at a specific time or keeps it on for a specified amount of time or until it gets turned off manually.
[0004] Branch pipes in each zone are fed by a main line or common supply pipe. Valves are either controlled manually by a person or electronically by a solenoid that is connected to a controller. In existing systems, controllers are typically wired to the solenoid valves and the energy/power to actuate them is provided through wires. Controllers can decide to turn on/off valves based on schedules, weather information, and/or sensor readings. Water can be pumped into the main line from a well source or a city supply.
[0005] Efforts have been made in related art to address above stated problem by using an automatic water pump starter control system. An example of such control system is recited in Indian patent application 201721043506, entitled “SMART AUTOMATIC WATER PUMP STARTER CONROL SYSTEM USING MOBILE PHONES”. The patent discloses Smart automatic water pump starter control system using mobile. The System supports only Direct on Line Motor (DOL) starter. Another example of such control system is recited Indian patent application 201721012236, entitled “GSM BASED MULTIFUNCTION ENERGY METER.” The patent discloses GSM based multi-function energy meter serves the functions of automatic power theft detection, voltage regulation and protection. However, the conventional control system provides GSM communication on one-to-one basis i.e. Energy meters with a user. No networking is provided in between units. Further, in the conventional control system which water pump is controlled through mobile phone doesn’t support a networking among multiple units.
[0006] Whereas there is certainly nothing wrong with existing techniques or system, nonetheless, there still exists a need to provide an efficient, effective, reliable, and improved automated system and method to control and monitor water pumps. Further, there exists a need of a system which creates a network of mobile starters (i.e., pumps and/or motors capable of triggering/starting from remote locations) that controls all other units through a single unit (“pump” hereinafter interchangeably referred to as “unit”). Further, there exists a need of a system in which each unit of the network shall be capable of being operated remotely as water pump control system for direct on line motor (DOL) starter and star delta starter in automatic and manual mode using mobile phone and also provide power fail SMS to user/farmer using super capacitor on the event of electricity unavailability (power fail). Furthermore, there exists a need of a system which provides protections against voltage based faults like under voltage, over voltage, phase unbalance, single phasing and current based fault like dry run.

[00038] The present disclosure relates to automatic controller, and more specifically relates to, an automated system and method to control and monitor a water pump for irrigation control.
[00039] In the prior art, conventional system supports only direct on line motor (DOL) starter. A proposed system designed in such a way that it supports all kind of starters like Semi-automatic starter, fully automatic starter and DOL starter too. In prior art, there is no provision to convey user about electricity failure. Also they do not have any front panel configurable timers and networking of the units. However, in prior art GSM based multi-function energy meter serves the functions of automatic power theft detection, voltage regulation and protection. The proposed system controls water pump operations through SMS, Missed Call and IVRS. The prior art provides GSM communication on one-to-one basis i.e. Energy meters with user. No networking is provided in between units. The proposed system is providing with networking solution within same family of units. In prior art, conventional system using wired and wireless communications for irrigation purpose. They have created a server using GSM Communication so that user can fetch data and monitor. Whereas, the proposed system is providing a simple solution to create a network of units working on GSM communication (wireless). In the proposed system, user can monitor the data of any units, instructs any unit to perform certain tasks in the network through one main unit. This eases the user’s task in a very affordable way.
[00040] The present invention aims to create a network of mobile starters. A one master unit can control all other units. Mass configuration of multiple units, protections, features can be remotely done and also collect the essential data from each unit. Each unit can operate remotely as water pump control system for DOL and star delta starter in automatic and manual mode using mobile phone and also provide power fail SMS to user/farmer using super capacitor on the event of electricity unavailability (power fail). The proposed system can provide protections against voltage based faults like under voltage, over voltage, phase unbalance, single phasing and current based fault like dry run.
[00041] There are prior arts in which water pump can be controlled through mobile phone. But these prior arts don’t support a networking among these units. Creating the network of units to have a single point communication with ‘n’ number of units of same family. This reduces the time to configure the settings, storing the settings and also collecting the essential data from each unit one at a time. Instead, now in the proposed system can do it in ‘n’ number of units in one go. Also, creating the network help us to study the functionality and performance of each unit in a single command. The proposed invention is beneficial for the user having more than one unit installed in his premises. User can make any one unit as main (master) unit, and communicate with that unit through GSM communication. Main unit can communicate with other units installed in user’s premises through GSM communication. The pump operations can be controlled through SMS/Missed call/IVRS using mobile phone by each unit. In prior arts, pump operation controlling through mobile is claimed but this is possible when the electricity is available. However, in the proposed system, when there is power fail, user will receive power fail SMS, the last SMS sent by unit to inform the user that there is a power fail. In this way user gets information on availability of electricity and also power fail through SMS so that he can plan his watering activities accordingly.
[00042] FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of creation of networks of mobile starters, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG.1, a master unit (hereinafter interchangeably referred as “main unit”)102 can control one or more other devices or processes (known as slaves) 104-1, 104-2, 104-3, 104-4, 104-5 and 104-n (collectively referred as 104). Once the master/slave 102/104 relationship is established, the direction of control is always from the master 102 to the slave(s) 104.
[00043] In an embodiment, a user configures the main unit (master unit) 102 with required settings through GSM communication. The user feeds the unique GSM numbers (IMEI) and Mobile numbers of other units (slave units) 104 in the main unit 102 through GSM communication. The main unit 102 can communicate with the other units with the help of GSM communication. User then communicates with main unit 102 remotely for certain actions to be performed by slave units 104.
[00044] FIG. 1B illustrates a network topology of a monitoring and control system 150, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00045] In an embodiment, the monitoring and control system 150 can include plurality of pumps 108-1,108-2, 108-3 and 108-n having one or more motors 110-1, 110-2, 110-3 and 110-n and at least one controller pump 102. The plurality of pumps 108-1,108-2, 108-3 and 108-n can be communicatively coupled with each other forming a network, and each of the plurality of pumps is operable to maintain selected operational conditions associated. The controller pump 102 can monitor and control the each of said plurality of pumps based at least on a received data packet, the at least one controller pump can be selected from said plurality of pumps, wherein the each of the plurality of pumps 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-n comprises a communication module 112-1, 112-2, 112-3 and 112-n (collectively referred as 112) to enable communication between each other in the network and receive the data packet.
[00046] In an exemplary embodiment, the communication module 112 is a subscriber identity module (SIM) with a global system for mobile communication (GSM) module incorporated in each of said plurality of pumps, the GSM module configured to facilitate communication with the GSM communication network.
[00047] FIG. 2 illustrates a brief block diagram of an internal circuitry of an automated system, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00048] In an embodiment, the proposed system is that water pump operations can be controlled remotely by a mobile using GSM communication. But, none of them support creating the network using these mobile starters to communicate with other mobile starters of same family. By creating the network of the Mobile starter units of same family using GSM communication, the system can configure the settings, load the settings and also collect the essential data form each unit remotely through single command.
[00049] In another embodiment, various settings for voltage protection, current protection, load current setting, timers for ON-delay, Star-Delta delay, Dry-Run Reset delay can be done to the units from the main unit 102.
[00050] In an exemplary embodiment, in the proposed system, a Master-Slave type of configuration can be created or any other configuration for creation of network like, STAR, RING, MESH networks. By creating this type of network, the user can control multiple mobile starters installed in his premises. Instead of communicating each and every unit one-by-one, user can communicate with master unit (main unit) 102 only for a particular action to take place. And master (unit) 102 in return can communicate with that intended specific slave (unit) as per user 104.
[00051] In another embodiment, in the system the essential data like voltages of 3 phases 202, load current 204 and healthiness of the unit can be collected periodically and log it. The essential data can provide the user with larger perspective of the units installed in his premises and its performance. All this networking and data logging action can happen on single communication medium i.e. GSM communication. No separate configuration/setting/module is required to serve different types of starters with minimum wiring (connections) as compared to competitors or prior arts.
[00052] In another embodiment, a microcontroller or controller 206 for pump operator continuously can monitor the incoming three phase voltages 202 and current 204 of one phase. The unit is self-powered device. The controller 206 can derive different voltages required to power up its electronic circuitry. The system can have GSM module or GSM controller 206 which takes power from incoming voltage 202. Using super capacitor power, unit provides power fail message to users through SMS. On availability of power, the internal circuitry again gain power from incoming voltage and send SMS of Power available to user.
[00053] In an embodiment, the proposed networks system can be used for configuration / data collections and creating a network of remotely operated automatic and manual water pump controller for star-delta and DOL starter.
