Water Quality Automatic Monitoring System Based on GPRS Data Communications

In this paper, the water quality automatic monitoring system is discussed based on General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) platform, and the system is matched with the multi-parameter water quality monitor. The composition and operation principle of the system have been introduced. GPRS communication module connects with the multi-parameter water quality monitor through the RS232. The communication module can receive instructions of the system and send the data which has been collected by the multi-parameter water quality monitor to the monitor centre. This system has stable performance, convenient to reduce operation cost, which has obtained good effect in practical application. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
