INFORMATION-MEASURING SYSTEM OF MONITORING AND CONTROL OF THE GREENHOUSES PLANTS AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION BASED ON FUZZY LOGIC

Abstract

The results of an analytical review and critical analysis, as well as the creation of the information-measuring system of monitoring and control of the greenhouses plants automatic irrigation based on fuzzy logic have been described in the article. During the research, the existing irrigation systems of protected soils have been analyzed and their disadvantages and advantages have been identified. The algorithms of the created system and its block diagram have been developed. The system control rule base has been created on the basis of the MATLAB & SIMULINK software package and Fuzzy Logic Toolbox extension subsystem. A simulation model of the software component has been designed and tested. A computer model of the system with an equivalent replacement of the main elements has created on the basis of Proteus software. The system has been tested taking into account actual operating conditions. Promising areas for further research have been established, namely: wireless communication with the operator and displaying the state of the system and soil, saving information on a cloud storage, expanding the monitoring functionality and introducing a number of informative parameters for interaction in the rule base.
