The Electrical Elephant Fence

An Electrical Elephant Fence is a barrier that use to protect villages from elephant attacks. It produce some serious current and it may harm to the elephants. Because of that elephants can not enter to the villages. But current elephant fence have some problems. Wasting electricity and harmful to other small animals are major problems of those. Sometimes children also get hurt because of that current. So we are came up with some solution for that problem.

We are Robust IT introducing automatic electricity supply system for elephant fence. From this system wastage of the electricity to elephant fence will be reduced. This system working with smart elephant collar that we are developing. When a smart collared elephant reaching to the signal range of the elephant fence, system will activate and give electricity to elephant fence. We use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags to track the elephant collar. In the normal situations electricity supply to the elephant fence is off.

Sensors in the fence will use for identify the routing patterns of the elephants. From those data our web base system will give predictions to the Department of Wild Life Conservation about elephant threats. From that,Department can give messages to the villagers about threats from elephants.
This may helps to reduce the Human Elephant Conflict in Sri Lanka.

HL-52S Relay Module

        In our project we have to deal with High Voltage current for elephant fence. In this case we have to use this HL-52S Relay Module. These are few specs of module. 5V, 10A 2-Channel Relay Interface board It can be controlled directly with 3.3V or 5V logic signals from Micro controller. It has 1*4 pin header for connecting power and for controlling the 2 relays marked on PCB as follows. GND - Connect 0V to this pin IN1 - Controls relay 1 IN2 - Controls relay 2 VCC - Connect 5V to this pin. Is used to power the Opto couplers.
