ABSTRACT
For this project, we would like to remotely control a 10-gallon fish tank from the Internet
via a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the Human-Machine Interface (HMI). The HMI
is a Microsoft Windows-based system that provides animated images in real time.
It is
generally a GUI that is used in the automation technology field. A PC would be utilized as the
workstation connecting the PLC. We would also attempt to integrate a live broadcast of the fish
tank in almost real time utilizing a web cam. The operator can visualize and control the process
of the automated fish tank from any workstation to any PC that has the HMI installed.
The HMI allows any authorized individual or the operator the ability to monitor or even
control the fish tank from their personal computer platforms. This technology offers engineers
or operators the opportunity to increase operating efficiency and reduce operating costs by
allowing remote monitoring and control processes, in our case, the fish tank.

INTRODUCTION
Project Initiation
In order to meet the requirements of our project, we would remotely control a 10-gallon
fish tank from the Internet via a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the Human-Machine
Interface (HMI). We will develop a front-end interface system (HMI) to facilitate the remote
control processes of the fish tank. This project, if successful, would greatly enhanced the control
of any process by reliably demonstrating the monitoring the processes of any manufacturing
company world wide.
Our team will develop a Human Machine-Interface (HMI) using Wonderware, the
software of choice. Our HMI will allows any authorized individual the ability to monitor or even
control the fish tank from their personal computer platforms. The HMI is a Microsoft Windowsbased system that provides animated images in real time. It is generally a GUI that is used in
the automation technology field. A PC would be utilized as the workstation connecting the PLC.
The application interface animates the process on computer displays for operators to facilitate
the monitoring of the fish tank processes. This technology offers operators or even engineers
the opportunity to increase operating efficiency and reduce operating costs by allowing remote
monitoring and control processes, in our case, the fish tank.
Using HMI technology, one person can monitor in real time, multiple facilities located in
geographically dispersed areas. To increase efficiency of our project, we would attempt to also
integrate a live broadcast of the fish tank in almost real time utilizing a web cam. The operator

2 TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
2.1
Problem Statement
Due to increase in competition forces in the automation and control of industrial processes,
some manufacturing companies utilize Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) to improve
manufacturing performance in both quality and productivity. Some of the concerns of most industries
are flexibility and rapid changeover. PLCs are also developed to perform basic sequencing of control
panels of relays in most industries.
We would like to introduce the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems
and HMI Graphical User Interface (GUI) the requirements to provide control and management
functionality. We would also like to demonstrate the flexibility and capability of the PLC and HMI
Graphical User Interface (GUI) in an interconnection via the web, as well as the PLC’s ability to
function in an industrial environment (vibration, heat, dirt, etc.) with the ability to be reprogrammed
and used for other tasks.
Although the HMI systems are functional, we would design new User Interface that is not too
complex and non-intuitive for non-technical users. Some technical and component diagrams would
be seen in the system. There would also be more intuitive indicators for parameters or slider bars
with warning indicators will help users monitor every component of the system and ensure what the
appropriate values for each parameter are.
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) has many applications, as stated below. This is the
main controlling hardware that will be implemented along with the HMI. The application includes
combinations of Input and Output system components to create a complete monitoring and control
system. With the Input system components, it allows the users or the operators to monitor the water

parameters, such as Temperature, pH, water level, and more added features. With the Output
system components, it allows the users or the operators to control Pumps, Light, Water Flow, etc.

Project Analysis
2.2.1
Documenting Requirements
2.2.1.1
Functional Requirements
The functional requirements of the Human-Machine Interface are concerned with the various
devices representing water level, temperature, pH monitor, and status lights (ie. Lights On/Off, pump
On/Off, etc.). These objects make up the system that we are trying to implement. The interface
utilizes multiple colors and animation for depicting specific components of each piece of equipment.
Also, the interface is developed in a series of arranged row placed one above another type of
structured menu for easy accessing to all system components. This makes the system a userfriendly interface. There will also be a window located in the HMI that shows real time video of the
whole process.

2.2.1.2
Non-Functional Requirements
The Non-functional requirements of the system are the Hardware components, the Operating
system and the Network connections. These Non-functional requirements are used to meet certain
requirements to install the Interface, called InTouch® as well as the web cam platform.
Our test bed will be based on the following requirements. For the server: 1 PC with a
minimum of PII-350 processor and 256 MB of RAM; Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5 or later, and Windows Media Player 9. The requirements for the operator’s
workstation are all the same for the exception of the operating system MS Windows 2000 (Server
2000 not required). Equipment and software older than specified will not be tested.
For any standard Network connections, the system should support the standard TCP/IP
protocol. For our purposes, we will prototype our project on the LAN and Internet using 10/100 and
TCP/IP.

System Specification
Functional Specification
Functional specification denotes the behavior of the system and how its components are
integrated. These specifications therefore describe HOW the system has been designed to obtain
the WHAT specified in the Requirement Specification.
Interface Requirement - The system has a front-end interface, HMI, which would allow
operators to visualize, monitor and control the production of processes (mostly, Industrial
Processes). The interface should be user-friendly and allow users to navigate various graphical
screens without interference to the process being executed.
It also has constant network
connectivity.
Performance Requirement – In order for the system to function properly the software and
hardware configuration should be satisfied according to the requirements. The performance of the
system varies on the available system requirements.

2.4
Design Specification
The Design Specification method describes how the systems have been designed in terms
of the components that build it. It describes each single component in terms of purpose, specific
characteristics and configuration for the correct function.
In this project, the InTouch application is used to allow users to create an application in
Windows 95/98/2000 (or later) and run the application on Windows 2000. The application is
interchangeable and runs on either platform without requiring conversions of either application. It
even allows Managers and Supervisors the ability to view a continuous HMI application process in
real time.
In addition, the interface (InTouch application) is also designed to support OCX controls,
ActiveX controls and Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). This method could easily select and add
OCX and ActiveX controls to any application windows and toolbar to handle control events. We
would use these concepts to integrate our web cam to the HMI.
Windows Media Services will be used for the web cam application. We chose this because
Windows Media Services (i.e. Windows Media Player) is made by Microsoft and thus better
integrated with Windows. The availability of Windows Media Services is more wide spread than any
other media services. It is also free which is economical to our project and end-users.

3 WORK PLAN
3.1
Methodologies
The approach we are going to use for the SDLC (Systems Development Life Cycle) of our
system is the classic waterfall model.
It involves six major phases each dependent on its
predecessor:
Step One: Project Identification and Selection.
In this phase, the hardware and software components to be used in the project are being
identified and selected according to its purposes. An overall architecture for all system components
is the result of this planning phase.
Step Two: Project Initiation and Planning.
Detailed steps and work plan for the project is defined.
Specifications for system
requirements and features are finalized. Resource planning is also completed.

Step Three: The Analysis Phase.
An overview of the current system is created and the problem and opportunities are explored.
Recommendations are made to replace, repair or enhance the system. Justifications are made for
the intended alternative.
Step Four: The Design Phase.
The Design Phase itself is divided into two sub-phases. First, the Logical Design Phase.
The Logical Design Phase is defined as the detailed functional specifications of all system
components. The system components include data, processors, inputs, and outputs. Secondly, the
Physical Design Phase. This design phase deals with the detailed technical specifications of all
system components. This includes programs, files, network, system software, etc.
Step Five: The Implementation Phase.
This is the actual development phase where programming, documentation, hardware and
software configuration, designing of database, designing and/or enhancing a web server, and
support capabilities are implemented.
Step Six: The Maintenance Phase.
Bug fixes, new versions or releases of software and associated updates to documentation,
training and support are applied in this phase.
