SCADA Monitoring on Radio Relayed Station at Hydro Melioration System Supported in Iot Network

Abstract

In modern technological development, the commitment to the application of sophisticated electronic systems is noticeable not only in electric power plants but also in industries for healthy and quality food, such as agriculture. We witness daily tribunes and panel discussions sponsored by companies and even governments for the introduction of the terminology of digital agriculture, i.e. the introduction of smart electronic solutions in agriculture. In addition to the commitment to so-called green energy, i.e. obtaining energy from renewable sources, the development of digitization in agriculture is an area in which an enormous application of smart electronic systems is expected in the future. Guided by these reasons, in this paper an electronic system is designed that provides a solution to a problem in hydro melioration system, i.e. the development, design and practical implementation of the Smart electronic system which enables data exchange between the soil irrigation line, MASTER station with screen SCADA and SLAVE stations. The temperature and humidity on the soil and the air are measured in the irrigation line with electronic module SLAVE 1 station. The communication between the irrigation line (SLAVE 1) and the MASTER station is realized with RF network. The MASTER station is installed in one part on industrial plant and here is SCADA screen. The SLAVE 2 station is installed in another part on industrial plant. The SLAVE 2 station is connected by RF (radio frequency connection) to the SLAVE 1station and the same is connected with WIFI in IoT network. In the MASTER, SLAVE 1 and SLAVE 2 stations, microcontroller units as well as appropriate RF modules are installed. The microcontroller in the SLAVE 2 station is connected to the IoT microcontroller for the transfer of measurement data in the Internet network. The solution provides visualization, data log file, and transfer to the IoT network of process data on irrigation line in hydro melioration system.
