Water Level Monitoring

INTRODUCTION
Many washing machines currently in production use a
mechanical sensor for water level detection. Mechanical
sensors work with discrete trip points enabling water level
detection only at those points. The purpose for this reference
design is to allow the user to evaluate a pressure sensor for
not only water level sensing to replace a mechanical switch,
but also for water flow measurement, leak detection, and other
solutions for smart appliances. This system continuously
monitors water level and water flow using the temperature
compensated MPXM2010GS pressure sensor in the low cost
MPAK package, a dual op-amp, and the MC68HC908QT4,
eight-pin microcontroller.
SYSTEM DESIGN
Pressure Sensor
The pressure sensor family has three levels of integration
— Uncompensated, Compensated and
Integrated. For this design, the MPXM2010GS compensated
pressure sensor was selected because it has both
temperature compensation and calibration circuitry on the
silicon, allowing a simpler, yet more robust, system circuit
design. An integrated pressure sensor, such as the
MPXV5004G, is also a good choice for the design eliminating
the need for the amplification circuitry.
measuring is between 0–40 cm. This corresponds to a
pressure range of 0–4 kPa. Therefore, the MPXM2010GS
was selected for this system. The sensor sensitivity is
2.5 mV/kPa, with a full-scale span of 25 mV at the supply
voltage of 10 VDC. The full-scale output of the sensor changes
linearly with supply voltage, so a supply voltage of 5 V will
return a full-scale span of 12.5 mV.
(VS actual / VS spec) * VOUT full-scale spec = VOUT full-scale
(5.0 V/ 10 V) x 25 mV = 12.5 mV
Since this application will only be utilizing 40 percent of the
pressure range, 0–4kPa, our maximum output voltage will be
40 percent of the full-scale span.
VOUT FS * (Percent FS Range) = VOUT max
12.5 mV * 40% = 5.0 mV
The package of the pressure sensor is a ported MPAK
package. This allows a tube to be connected to the sensor and
the tube is connected to the bottom of the tub. This isolates the
sensor from direct contact with the water. The small size and
low cost are additional features making this package a perfect
fit for this application.

Amplifier Induced Errors
The sensor output needs to be amplified before being
inputted directly to the microcontroller through an eight-bit A/D
input pin. To determine the amplification requirements, the
pressure sensor output characteristics and the 0-5 V input
range for the A/D converter had to be considered.
The amplification circuit uses three op-amps to add an
offset and convert the differential output of the MPXM2010GS
sensor to a ground-referenced, single-ended voltage in the
range of 0–5.0 V.
The pressure sensor has a possible offset of ±1 mV at the
minimum rated pressure. To avoid a nonlinear response when
a pressure sensor chosen for the system has a negative offset
(VOFF), we added a 5.0 mV offset to the positive sensor output
signal. This offset will remain the same regardless of the
sensor output. Any additional offset the sensor or op-amp
introduces is compensated for by software routines invoked
when the initial system calibration is done.
To determine the gain required for the system, the
maximum output voltage from the sensor for this application
had to be determined. The maximum output voltage from the
sensor is approximately 12.5 mV with a 5.0 V supply since the
full-scale output of the sensor changes linearly with supply
voltage. This system will have a maximum pressure of 4 kPa
at 40 cm of water. At a 5.0 V supply, we will have a maximum
sensor output of 5 mV at 4 kPa of pressure. To amplify the
maximum sensor output to 5.0 V, the following gain is needed:
Gain = (Max Output needed) / (Max Sensor Output
and Initial Offset) = 5.0 V / (0.005 V + 0.005) = 500
The gain for the system was set for 500 to avoid railing from
possible offsets from the pressure sensor or the op-amp.
The Voltage Outputs from the sensor are each connected
to a non-inverting input of an op-amp. Each op-amp circuit has
the same resistor ratio. The amplified voltage signal from the
negative sensor lead is VA. The resulting voltage is calculated
as follows:
VA = (1+R8/R6) * V4
= (1+10/1000) * V4
The amplified voltage signal from the positive sensor lead
is VB. This amplification adds a small gain to ensure that the
positive lead, V2, is always greater than the voltage output
from the negative sensor lead, V4. This ensures the linearity
of the differential voltage signal.
VB = (1+R7/R5) * V2 – (R7/R5) * VCC
= (1+10/1000) * V2 + (10/1000)*(5.0 V)
= (1.001) * V2 + 0.005 V
The difference between the positive sensor voltage, VB,
and the negative sensor voltage, VA is calculated and
amplified with a resulting gain of 500.
VC = (R12/R11) * (VB – VA)
= (500 K/1K) * (VB – VA)
= 500 * (VB – VA)
The output voltage, VC, is connected to a voltage follower.
Therefore, the resulting voltage, VC, is passed to an A/D pin of
the microcontroller.
The range of the A/D converter is 0 to 255 counts. However,
the A/D Values that the system can achieve are dependent on
the maximum and minimum system output values:
Count = (VOUT – VRL) / ( VRH – VRL) x 255
where VXdcr = Transducer Output Voltage
VRH = Maximum A/D voltage
VLH = Minimum A/D voltage
Count (0 mm H20) = (2.5 – 0) / (5.0 – 0) * 255 = 127
Count (40 mm H20) = (5.0 – 0) / (5.0 – 0) * 255 = 255
Total # counts = 255 – 127 = 127 counts.
The resolution of the system is determined by the mm of
water represented by each A/D count. As calculated above,
the system has a span of 226 counts to represent water level
up to and including 40 cm. Therefore, the resolution is:
Resolution = mm of water / Total # counts
= 400mm/127 counts = 3.1 mm per A/D count
= (1.001) * V4

Microprocessor
To provide the signal processing for pressure values, a
microprocessor is needed. The MCU chosen for this
application is the MC68HC908QT4. This MCU is perfect for
appliance applications due to its low cost, small eight-pin
package, and other on-chip resources. The MC68HC908QT4
provides: a four-channel, eight-bit A/D, a 16-bit timer, a
trimmable internal timer, and in-system FLASH programming.
The central processing unit is based on the high
performance M68HC08 CPU core and it can address 64
Kbytes of memory space. The MC68HC908QT4 provides
4096 bytes of user FLASH and 128 bytes of random access
memory (RAM) for ease of software development and
maintenance. There are five bi-directional input/output lines
and one input line shared with other pin features.
The MCU is available in eight-pin as well as 16-pin
packages in both PDIP and SOIC. For this application, the
eight-pin PDIP was selected. The eight-pin PDIP was chosen
for a small package, eventually to be designed into
applications as the eight-pin SOIC. The PDIP enables the
customer to reprogram the software on a programming board
and retest.
Display
Depending on the quality of the display required, water
level and water flow can be shown with two LEDs. If a higher
quality, digital output is needed, an optional LCD interface is
provided on the reference board. Using a shift register to hold
display data, the LCD is driven with only three lines outputted
from the microcontroller: an enable line, a data line, and a
clock signal. The two LEDs are multiplexed with the data line
and clock signal

Figure 4. Multiplexed LCD Circuit
Multiplexing of the microcontroller output pins allows
communication of the LCD to be accomplished with three pins
instead of eight or 11 pins of I/O lines usually needed. With an
eight-bit shift register, we are able to manually clock in eight
bits of data. The enable line (EN) is manually accepted when
eight bytes have been shifted in, telling the LCD the data on
the data bus is available to execute.
The LEDs are used to show pressure output data by
displaying binary values corresponding to a pressure range.
Leak detection, or water-flow speed, is displayed by blinking a
green LED at a speed relating to the speed of water flow. The
red LED displays the direction of water flow. Turning the red
LED off signifies water flowing into the tub. Turning the red
LED on signifies water flowing out of the tub, or alternatively,
there is a leak.
Digital values for water height, rate of water flow, and
calibration values are displayed if an LCD is connected to the
board

This application note describes the first software version
available. However, updated software versions may be
available with further functionality and menu selections.
Software User Instructions
When the system is turned on or reset, the microcontroller
will flash the selected LED and display the program title on the
LCD for five seconds, or until the select (SEL) button is
pushed. Then the menu screen is displayed. Using the select
(SEL) pushbutton, it is easy to scroll through the menu options
for a software program. To run the water level program, use
the select button to highlight the Water Level option, then
press the enter (ENT) pushbutton. The Water Level program
will display current water level, the rate of flow, a message if
the container is Filling, Emptying, Full, or Empty, and a
scrolling graphical history displaying data points representing
the past forty level readings.
The Water Level is displayed by retrieving the digital
voltage from the internal A/D Converter. This voltage is
converted to pressure in millimeters of water and then
displayed on the LCD.
buttons on system power-up enters the calibration mode. At
this point, the calibration menu is displayed with the previously
sampled offset voltage. To recalibrate the system, expose the
sensor to atmospheric pressure and press the SEL button
(PB1). At this point, the zero offset voltage will be sampled and
saved to a location in the microcontroller memory. To obtain
the second calibration point, place the end of the plastic tube
from the pressure sensor to the bottom of a container holding
40 mm of water. Then press the ENT button (PB2). The
voltage output will be sampled, averaged and saved to a
location in memory. To exit the calibration mode, press the
SEL (PB1) button.
Calibration and Calibration Software
To calibrate the system, a two-point calibration is
performed. The sensor will take a calibration point at 0 mm
and at 40 mm of water. Depressing both the SEL and ENT

Converting Pressure to Water Level
Hydrostatic pressure being measured is the pressure at the
bottom of a column of fluid caused by the weight of the fluid
and the pressure of the air above the fluid. Therefore, the
hydrostatic pressure depends on the air pressure, the fluid
density and the height of the column of fluid.
P= Pa + ρ g ∆h
where P = pressure
Pa = pressure
ρ = mass density of fluid
g = 9.8066 m/s^2
h = height of fluid column
To calculate the water height, we can use the measured
pressure with the following equation, assuming the
atmospheric pressure is already compensated for by the
selection of the pressure sensor being gauge:
∆h = P \ ρ g
The function first clears the 40 pressure readings it updates
for the Graphical History. The history then enters the loop first
displaying eight special characters, each containing five data
points of water level history. The function adcbyta is called to
obtain the current averaged A/D value. The function LfNx is
called to convert the A/D value to a water level. It is then
compared to the calibration points, the maximum and
minimum points, to determine if the container is full or empty.
If true, then it displays the corresponding message. The
current water level is compared to the previous read and
displays the message filling if it has increased, emptying if it
has decreased, and steady if it has not changed.
The water level calculation has to be converted to decimal
in order to display it in the LCD. To convert the water level
calculation to decimal, the value is continually divided with the
remainder displayed to the screen for each decimal place. To
display the Rate of Water Flow, the sign of the value is first
determined. If the value is negative, the one's complement is
taken, a negative sign is displayed, and then the value is
continually divided to display each decimal place. If the
number is positive, a plus sign.
Software Function Descriptions
Level Function
Main Function
The Level function initializes the graphics characters. Once
this is complete, it continues looping to obtain an
average A/D reading, displaying the Water Level, the Water
Flow, and a Graphical History until simultaneously depressing
both PB1 and PB2 to return to the main function.
The function first clears the 40 pressure readings it updates
for the Graphical History. The history then enters the loop first
displaying eight special characters, each containing five data
points of water level history. The function adcbyta is called to
obtain the current averaged A/D value. The function LfNx is
called to convert the A/D value to a water level. It is then
compared to the calibration points, the maximum and
minimum points, to determine if the container is full or empty.
If true, then it displays the corresponding message. The
current water level is compared to the previous read and
displays the message filling if it has increased, emptying if it
has decreased, and steady if it has not changed.
The water level calculation has to be converted to decimal
in order to display it in the LCD. To convert the water level
calculation to decimal, the value is continually divided with the
remainder displayed to the screen for each decimal place. To
display the Rate of Water Flow, the sign of the value is first
determined. If the value is negative, the one's complement is
taken, a negative sign is displayed, and then the value is
continually divided to display each decimal place. If the
number is positive, a plus sign is displayed to maintain the
display alignment and the value is continually divided to
display each decimal place.
The most complicated part of this function is updating the
graphics history display. The characters for the 16x2 LCD
chosen for this reference design are 8x5 pixels by default.
Therefore, each special character that is created will be able
to display five water level readings. Since the height of the
special character is eight pixels, each vertical pixel position
will represent a water level in increments of 20 mm.
The main function calls an initialization function Allinit calls
a warm-up function, Warmup, to allow extra time for the LCD
to initialize, then checks if buttons PB1 and PB2 are
depressed. If they are depressed concurrently, it calls a
calibration function Calib. If they are not both pressed, it
enters the main function loop. The main loop displays the
menu, moves the cursor when the PB1 is pressed and
enters the function corresponding to the highlighted menu
option when PB2 is depressed.
Calibration Function
The calibration function is used to obtain two calibration
points. The first calibration point is taken when the head tube
is not placed in water to obtain the pressure for 0 mm of water.
The second calibration point is obtained when the head tube
is placed at the bottom of a container with a height of 160 mm.
When the calibration function starts, a message appears
displaying the A/D values for the corresponding calibration
points currently stored in the flash. To program new calibration
points, press PB1 to take 256 A/D readings at 0 mm of water.
The average is calculated and stored in a page of flash. Then
the user has the option to press PB1 to exit the calibration
function or obtain the second calibration point. To obtain the
second calibration point, the head tube should be placed in
160 mm of water, before depressing PB2 to take 256 A/D
readings. The average is taken and stored in a page of flash.
Once the two readings are taken, averaged, and stored in the
flash, a message displays the two A/D values stored.
Level Function
The Level function initializes the graphics characters. Once
this is complete, it continues looping to obtain an average A/D
reading, displaying the Water Level, the Water Flow, and a
Graphical History until simultaneously depressing both PB1
and PB2 to return to the main function.

where H1 and H2 are the maximum and minimum water levels
respectively and D is the possible datapoints available per
character.
Resolution = (160mm– 0mm) / 8.0 = 20 mm / data point.
The graphical history is displayed using the eight special
characters. To update the graphics, all the characters have to
be updated. The characters are updated by first positioning a
pixel for the most recent water level reading in the first column
of the first character. Then the four right columns of the first
character are shifted to the right. The pixel in the last column
of that character is carried to the first column of the next
character. This column shifting is continued until all 40 data
points have been updated in the eight special characters.
LfNx Function
The LfNx function calculates the water level from the
current A/D pressure reading. The A/D Pressure value is
stored in Register A before this function is called. Using the
A/D value and the calibration values stored in the flash, the
water level is calculated from the following function:
RBRA: = (NX –N1) * 160 / (N2 – N1),
where NX is the current A/D Value
N1 is the A/D Value at 0 mm H20
N2 is the A/D Value at 160 mm H20
To simplify the calculation, the multiplication is done first.
Then the function NdivD is called to divide the values.
NdivD Function
The NdivD function performs a division by counting
successive subtractions of the denominator from the
numerator to determine the quotient. The denominator is
subtracted from the numerator until the result is zero. If there
is an overflow, the remainder from the last subtraction is the
remainder of the division.
wrflash and ersflsh Functions
The wrflash and ersflsh functions are used to write to and
erase values from the flash. For more information regarding
flash functionality, refer to Section Four, Flash Memory from
the MC68HC908QY4/D Databook.
ALLINIT Function
The Allinit function disables the COP for this version of
software, sets the data direction bits, and disables the data to
the LCD and turns off the LCD enable line. It also sets up the
microcontroller's internal clock to half the speed of the bus
clock. See Section 15, Computer Operating Properly, of the
MC68908QT4 datasheet for information on utilizing the COP
module to help software recover from runaway code.
bintasc Function
The binasc function converts a binary value to its ascii
representation.
A/D Functions
The A/D functions are used to input the amplified voltage
from the pressure sensor from channel 0 of the A/D converter.
The function adcbyti will set the A/D control register, wait for
the A/D reading and load the data from the A/D data register
into the accumulator. The function adcbyta is used to obtain an
averaged A/D reading by calling adcbyti 256 times and
returning the resulting average in the accumulator.
LCD Functions
The LCD hardware is set up for multiplexing three pins from
the microcontroller using an eight-bit shift register. Channels
three, four, and five are used on port A for the LCD enable (E),
the LCD reset (RS), and the shift register clock bit,
respectively. The clock bit is used to manually clock data from
channel four into the eight-bit shift register. This is the same
line as the LCD RS bit because the MSB of the data is low for
a command and high for data. The RS bit prepares the LCD
for instructions or data with the same bit convention. When the
eight bits of data are available on the output pins of the shift
register, the LCD enable (E) is toggled to receive the data.
The LCD functions consist of an initialization function lcdinit
which is used once when the system is started and five output
functions. The functions lcdcmdo and lcdchro both send a
byte of data. The function shiftA is called by both lcdcmdo and
lcdchro to manually shift eight bits of data into the shift register.
The function lcdnibo converts the data to binary before
displaying. The lcdnibo displays a byte of data by calling
lcdnibo for each nibble of data. The function lcdnibo enables
strings to be easily added to the software for display. The
function accepts a comma- delimited string of data consisting
of 1–2 commands for clearing the screen and positioning the
cursor. It then continues to output characters from the string
until the @ symbol is found, signally the end of the string.
CONCLUSION
The water level reference design uses a MPXM2010GS
pressure sensor in the low cost MPAK package, the low cost,
eight-pin microcontroller, and a quad op-amp to amplify the
sensor output voltage. This system uses very few
components, reducing the overall system cost. This allows for
a solution to compete with a mechanical switch for water level
detection but also offer additional applications such as
monitoring water flow for leak detection, and the other
applications for smart washing machines.
WARMUP Function
The Warmup function alternates the blinking of the two
LEDs ten times. This gives the LCD some time to warm up.
Then the function warmup calls the LCD initialization function,
lcdinit.
