The proportional integral derivative control system on the mini conveyor with message queuing telemetry transport protocol based on the internet of things

Abstract

Motor speed controlling on the conveyor is necessary considered in order to control the speed of the motor at the desired setpoint. The most commonly used controller is a PID controller. The PID controller requires Kp, Ki, Kd and setpoint parameters to work. These parameters need to be tuned to work optimally on the system. The well-tuned parameters can be considered with the motor speed over time graph. Nowadays, parameters tuning and system response monitoring is done via cable with limited distance. The objective of this research is to make Proportional Integral Derivative control system on mini conveyor with Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol based on Internet Of Things so that the parameters tuning and system response monitoring can be done by Android smartphone from long distance and also know the system performance by calculating the Bit Error Rate (BER) of data transmitted from microcontroller and data received on Android smartphone. From 8 experiments performed, it found that the BER was 0 for each experiment. The 8 experiments were 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 120 seconds, 150 seconds, 180 seconds, and 210 seconds.
