A GPRS-Based Low Energy Consumption Remote Terminal Unit for Aquaculture Water Quality Monitoring
Abstract : The monitoring of water quality parameters such as DO, pH, salinity
and temperature are necessary for the health of seafood such as sea
cucumber. However, traditional monitoring system is based on cable data
acquisition that has many disadvantages. Nowadays, GPRS is the most
commonly accepted way for wireless transmission. Based on it, a type of
low energy consumption RTU is developed and applied. In this paper,
details of the design are introduced. In hardware design of this type of
RTU, STM8L152 is selected in the MCU module to accomplish the function
of ultralow power consumption, and solar battery is designed to solve
the problem of power supply. In software design of the RTU, the
sleep/online mode conversion is programed to reduce the energy
consumption. It is comparatively low-priced and can detect necessary
parameters for aquaculture. Performances of the RTU are tested in
experimental stations and compared with two advanced water quality
analyzers. Results show that it shows almost the same variation
characteristics as those of HACH and YSI.
