Control Simulation of Proportional-Integral and Sliding Mode Control for Precision Seed Planters

Abstract

The desired development and design of an electric control system (ECS) for a precision planter is one of the most crucial elements in evaluating the efficacy of applicators for plant production. The seeds would be sown using this approach. Years have been invested in the continuous development of a range of application methods and metering systems, each of which offers specific advantages for applying the required system with a high degree of precision. Researchers worldwide have been trying to make electric-driven seed meters (EDSM) for planters, but they haven't succeeded. This study looks into the current state of installing seed metering systems for precision planters. Proportional-integral (PI) and sliding mode control (SMC) designs of the control system have been implemented to improve the planting quality of the planters. We want to highlight the electrically driven control system (EDCS) using these designs. An overview of the noteworthy features and limitations of past research is given. We also discuss several future directions for future research, concentrating on the knowledge gaps in this area.
