PLC based Automation solutions and Communication system
In the development trend of agricultural refinement and technology, intelligent greenhouse planting has always played an important role. The ICP DAS "IoTstar+WISE+DL module" solution work as an automated intelligent greenhouse monitoring system, it can perform real-time cloud monitoring of illuminance/temperature/humidity for the greenhouse, and automatically executethe corresponding scheduled tasks (such as: turning on the air conditioner, adjusting lighting, activating sprinklers, fertilizing etc.), or send LINE/Telegram/WeChat/Email/SMS alarm messages to related personnel to take immediate actions in response to abnormal status notifi cation. WISE can also connect to ICP DAS iCAM series IP cameras to perform real-time video monitoring of the greenhouse. When an unusual intrusion is detected, WISE will automatically send text and video messages to the security personnel through LINE/Telegram/WeChat to take immediate actions. In addition, with the services provided by IoTstar such as "Controller Remote Access Service", "Sensor Data Collection Service", "Sensor Data Visualization Service", "Sensor Data Report Service" and "Bot Service with Mobile Phone", user can easily build a cloud-based greenhouse monitoring system to grasp the environmental status of each greenhouse anytime, anywhere and take actions accordingly, so as to move towards the era of intelligent agriculture with high efficiency, high productivity, safety and low operating risks.
When talking about mushroom cultivation, the choice of a suitable place is the very important task. Mushrooms are very fragile in nature, so do not need too much sunlight. A temperature ranging between 18°C to 35°C is considered as the ideal one & favorable for mushroom farming. Also, a good moisture level is more beneficial in enhancing the good development of mushrooms. For this, humidity of 85 to 90 % of air should be maintained. The general equipment cannot work in such environment, but the DL-302-IP65 can be implement in this mushroom farming to record CO2, temperature and humidity information. By the way, WISE-5231M-4GE here is a controller with built-in logic control to receive and send SMS messages when there is something wrong.
Information such as soil temperature and humidity, pH, sunshine and air temperature and humidity are very benefi cial for agricultural cultivation. Farmers don't have to patrol the farmland frequently, but rely on this information doing some proper processing and management. In addition, the power-saving technology of NB-IoT and the solar energy are helpful for monitoring system, it can maintain normal operation for a long time without external power supply, greatly reducing its cost.
• Solar energy and battery will charge and discharge to be a self-contained system.
• Monitor plant growth environment by light, temperature, humidity, and air quality.
• Remotely monitor about soil pH, temperature and humidity, and allow farmers to respond any conditions immediately.
A temperature and humidity logging module that can regularly detect and log temperature and humidity according to the parameters set by the user, and display the temperature, humidity, wireless parameters and other information sequentially on the screen. In addition, this module supports Modbus RTU protocol, and users can use SCADA software to send Modbus commands to read back the current temperature and humidity through wireless communication of ZT-2550 or ZT-2570, or use the DL-100TMS-ZT Utility to read back the temperature and humidity information logged in the module through ZT-2550, and saves it as a CSV file (*.csv) or text file (*.txt).
