Monitoring of Industrial Variables Based on LoRa Communication Protocols

Abstract:

Today, wireless technology continues to grow on a large scale and it provides significant benefits in areas where access to other technologies is not permitted. It meets a need for communication in communities that require it. This document shows the implementation of two wireless nodes, transmitter and receiver, which allow the measurement of water levels in the drinking water supply tanks of the Baños parish, Cuenca Canton, Azuay Province, Ecuador. For these nodes, modules with LoRa technology are used that allow communication in remote areas where there is no mobile cellular or internet coverage. This system will allow monitoring and information to be sent to the offices, thus avoiding the physical mobilization of personnel and maintaining constant control of water levels, optimizing resources, since personnel will now be mobilized to the reservoir tank when these levels need to be treated. Thus determining that the use of LoRa modules for the transmission of water-level variables, allows to obtain favorable results at long distances with a stable link, in real time and without line of sight, crossing obstacles.
