ABSTRACT: At present, industries are rapidly shifting towards automation. Today’s industrial automations mostly based on
programmable controllers and robots. In order to do the tedious work and to serve the mankind, automation is developed in
industries. DC motor plays an important role in various industries hence we selected it. This project present a system to provide
protection, control and monitoring the condition of DC motor. Here Arduino Uno and various sensors like current, voltage, speed
and temperature sensors are used. Real time values of various parameters like current, voltage, temperature and speed can be
monitored in ThingSpeak mobile app. By continuous monitoring, the motor can be protected against fault like short circuits,
overloading, overheating etc. hence machine performance is improved.
Keywords: IoT, Arduino Uno, Node MCU, DC motor, LCD, Fault, etc.
1. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays there is advancement in technologies, in order to reduce the man power in industries, the industries are shifted
towards automation. DC motors are used in various industries because of their small size and high energy output. The manual
control of motor in different areas of an industry for the switch ON or OFF is time consuming and inconvenient here an effort is
made to control automatically. Protection or maintenance is also very important aspect for the smooth operation of motor in an
industry. The monitoring of several Parameters of motor like voltage, current, temperature and speed etc. by human is very
time consuming process. These problems are studied and developed a remote project as solution called IOT BASED
ELECTRICAL MOTOR CONTROL AND MONITORING. In this paper, a cost effective protection and control system has been
developed for DC motors which can be used in practice.
1.1 Motor Protection Scheme
In the motor protection scheme, the respective sensors provide accurate and precision intimation So as to protect the motor
under abnormal condition like protection against overheating, over current and voltage fluctuations.
1.2 Motor Monitoring Scheme
Real time values of several parameters like voltage, current, temperature and speed are sensed by sensors and uploaded to the
ThingSpeak application using Node MCU which gives us feature of real time monitoring of motor from mobile device. The
values are compared with default values to determine the condition of the motor.
2. METHODOLOGY
In this project, we have interfaced various sensors with the Arduino Uno, Node MCU and the motor to collect data of the various
parameters like voltage, current, temperature and speed to know the condition of the motor and also give protection against
over voltage, under voltage, over load and thermal overloading by providing program for that, so if the motor crosses the
predefined value of current, voltage and temperature by some fault it will get automatically turn off and the alarm gives signal
on the application. Also we can turn on/ off motor by button placed in the application. Block diagram, and results are discussed
below.

2.1 Block Diagram
Fig 1: Block diagram
In this project work, the voltage sensor is used to read the voltage value. The current sensor is used to read the current value,
temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of the DC motor. The speed sensor is used to monitor the speed of the
motor. The signal from the above mentioned sensors is processed by the Arduino uno with the predefined values. The Node
MCU is used to transmit the real time data to an application for remote monitoring. If the values of any parameters of the DC
motor is not within the predefined value then specific abnormality will be triggered and the motor will shut down
automatically. LCD display is used to display the parameters of the motor on the spot and using Node MCU the abnormality
condition is notified to the linked mobile devices.
2.2 Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring is done using Node MCU which has inbuilt Wi-Fi. Which is interfaced with Arduino Uno for sensor data
which can be used to link to ThingsSpeak mobile application. By this way real time monitoring can be achieved.

4. RESULTS
In this project the predefined values of various parameters were, if current exceeds 1900mA then over load condition is
triggered, if voltage exceeds 14V then over voltage condition is triggered, if voltage goes below 11V then under voltage
condition is triggered, if temperature exceeds 35°c then thermal overload condition is triggered. Speed sensor is used to
monitor the speed of the motor. In all these cases the alarm is triggered the condition of motor is displayed using LCD display.
And the parameters of the motor are also monitored using mobile application.
