PLC Based Smart Farming System with Scada

Abstract

In day to day life agriculture plays a vital role. When agriculture is carried out in vast area, it will be difficult for the human beings to continuously monitor the field. In order to overcome the difficulties, we have proposed a PLC based smart farming system with SCADA. Different types of sensors are used to measure various parameters. Moisture sensor will be used to measure the moisture of the soil. Level sensor can be used to measure the level of the water in the tank. If the water level goes below the set point, the motor will be automatically switched ON. In order to detect the movement of unknown human beings and animals, PIR sensor can be used, depending on the growth of the plant the fertilizer usage can be determined.PLC will be programmed to complete the entire process. SCADA system is used to monitor this automated process.
