Abstract

Measurement is an important element in the instrumentation and control systems in the industry, especially in the process industry. The measurement can be made in various ways and methods, one which is designing monitoring system. The design of this monitoring system can be realized as a simulation through similar visualization with industrial monitoring systems. In this paper has designed and applied a fluids level monitoring systems based on Zigbee to transmit and receive data wirelessly. The system design is divided into two parts, the first one are plant design and Human Machine Interface (HMI), the system that are applied is designing measurement systems fluid level. The design and application of HMI systems uses Visual Basic as the user interface with the plant. In this plant ATmega16 are being used for system controller and MPX2010DP sensor which was chosen to measuring the level fluids, this sensor are chosen because this sensor uses the principle of differential pressure making it easier to use. Sending and receiving data from the PC to the plant wirelessly runs very well, the maximum range are 30m for indoors and 90m for outdoors.
