Innovative Control Systém for Water Supply Management at a Farm

Abstract

The thesis deals with the implementation of an innovative control system for the management and supply of water to the farm. The innovation focuses on all areas of the control system such as hardware part as well as software part. In the hardware part, it is mainly about the communication between the PLC and the pumps in the boreholes Where contact switching has been replaced by fiber optic communication. Furthermore, the non-compliant components were replaced by components that are more suitable for this placation. In the software area, tools have been used to simplify both the programming and the actual operation of the control system. The use of structures, the use of equations, and, more efficient sampling of measured data. A PLC from Unitronics was selected to control the entire application. The program for the PLC was written in the UniLogic programming environment from Unitronics.
