Introduction A microcontroller (also MCU or C) is a computer on a chip.

It is a type of microprocessor emphasizing high integration, low power consumption, self-sufficiency and cost-effectiveness, in contrast to a general-purpose microprocessor (the kind used in a PC). In addition to the usual arithmetic and logic elements of a general purpose microprocessor, the microcontroller typically integrates additional elements such as read-write memory for data storage, read-only memory, such as flash for code storage, EEPROM for permanent data storage, peripheral devices, and input/output interfaces. At clock speeds of as little as a few MHz or even lower, microcontrollers often operate at very low speed compared to modern day microprocessors, but this is adequate for typical applications. They consume relatively little power (milliwatts), and will generally have the ability to sleep while waiting for an interesting peripheral event such as a button press to wake them up again to do something. Power consumption while sleeping may be just nanowatts, making them ideal for low power and long lasting battery applications. Microcontrollers are frequently used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, and toys. By reducing the size, cost, and power consumption compared to a design using a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to electronically control many more processes.

AIM: The main aim of Automatic water level monitoring and control is: We know that the demand of electricity is very high than demand in our country so, Automatic water level monitoring and control is to save electricity. To save water which is the First necessity of human being To Increase pump set life. To protect motor from getting damaged in case of no load (i.e., no water in main line condition), because in industries where large pumps are required for water intake, there the motor protection is necessary.

MOTIVATION: Water level controllers Indicator is highly recommended for metro cities or areas where drinking water is supplied through pipelines which are further distributed in homes, hotels, societies etc. At large these systems not only help us but our neighborhoods and society also, as it reduces the wastage of water by cutting down any further overflows than what you need. This system can also help in saving the electrical energy by making automatic switching of electrical motor when there is no water in main pipeline or when water overflows.

OVERVIEW: This product is designed to automatic control of motor, which ensures constant reserve of water in storage tanks. Automatic water level controller is used to automatically fill the over head tank as and when it gets empty and monitor the water level in it. Automatic water level controller switches ON the motor when the water level in the overhead tank drops below pre fixed low level(on point) and puts off the motor when water level rises up to pre fixed high level (off point) motor also switches off when the sump water is exhausted before filling overhead tank, pump running dry, Mains voltage fluctuations.

About 89c51 Microcontroller

8051 Microcontroller is a programable device which is used for controlling purpose. Basically 8051 controller is Mask porogramble means it will programed at the time of manufacturing and will not programed again, there is a derivative of 8051 microcontroller, 89c51 microcontroller which is reprogramable upto 10000 times, here is small discription abot the 89c51 microcontroller. It have 4 ports which are used as input or output according to your need. These prots are also programmed as bit wise pattern, means you can use each bit of microcontroller saperatelly as input or output. This 89c51 is 8-bit device mean each port have 8-bits for I/O, total of 32-bits in the controller. This device also have Timer, Serial Port interface and Interrupt controlling you can use these according to your need. This device have 4K of ROM space to store the program,and 256Bytes of RAM space, this device have ability to interface with TTL based devices and also with the external MEMORY to increase its data space, but when your are using external MEMORY the 2 ports of 89c51 microcontroller are used for this purpose
