Aplicación de un módulo de comunicación enlazado a un controlador lógico para un sistema de riego automatizado.

Abstract

The objective was to apply a communication module linked to a logical controller for the telecontrol of irrigation in a crop and the optimization of the resources invested in the process. The link with de GSM/GPRS network allowed to monitor and control the irrigation of a blackberry cultivation through a text message. The combination of the LOGO CMR2020 module and the LOGO V8 controller offers a economical remote, but with reliability required. It showed the advantages of these devices over existing ones, but they have disadvantages regarding costs, robustness, reliability, easy configuration among others. Electronic sensors and actuators were installed with the aim of boosting the irrigation of the crop. The user can also monitor and control the process locally through the control panel installed. It is concluded that the automation achieved the requirements asked by the user which were to save water resources, economic and time savings, besides the scalability of the system will allow to add new automated tasks in the future. Thus, it will contribute to the change of the productive matrix. Also it is recommended to carry out a preventive maintenance to the installation and to spread this innovation to other agricultural producers so that it extends to other zones.
