SCADA system for agricultural cultivation under a greenhouse prototype

Abstract

This article presents a proposed model for the acquisition, monitoring and control of parameters using the concept of SCADA. In addition, it will be applied to a greenhouse prototype, in order to monitor the climatological relationships in a crop. The development of this project was approached with an action-research type design, which focuses on solving immediate and everyday problems, building knowledge through practice. The state of the art was reviewed. Subsequently, the existing components and technologies were identified, with the aim of determining the ideal tools for the design of the prototype. Simultaneously, the electronic system of the greenhouse will allow to measure, control, automate and monitor the temperature, humidity and luminosity. To conclude the experimentation, the behaviour of the variables is observed by monitoring the irrigation process of a crop, within the greenhouse prototype.
