IRRIGATION AUTOMATION USING PLC DEVICE

Današnji svijet automatizacije je dinamičan, te je dizajniranje automatiziranih postrojenja sve zahtjevnije i kompleksnije. Razvojem automatizacije došlo je do stvaranja modernih postrojenja zasnovanih na mikroprocesorima koji spajanjem s određenim elementima stvaraju složenu strukturu koja izvršava posebno postavljene zadatke. Jedna od tih složenih struktura odnosno uređaja su Programabilni logički kontroleri koje će se u daljnjem tekstu rada pisati kao PLC . PLC upravljačke jedinice izvršavaju izrazito složene zadatke kao što su kontrola pozicije, regulacije procesa i druge. U prvom dijelu završnog rada govorit će se općenito o PLC-u, njegovoj strukturi i načinu rada, kao i samom programiranju. U nastavku će biti prikazano sam proces navodnjavanja i problematike, te rješenje tih problema. Nakon čega postupak programiranja i implementacija programa na PLC upravljačku jedinicu.Today's world of automation is dynamic, and the design of automated plants is becoming more demanding and complex. The development of automation has led to the creation of modern plants based on microprocessors that, by merging with certain elements, create a complex structure that performs specially set tasks. One of these complex structures or devices are Programmable Logic Controllers which will be written as PLC in the further text of the paper. PLC control units perform extremely complex tasks such as position control, process regulation and others. The first part of the final paper will discuss the PLC in general, its structure and mode of operation, as well as the programming itself. In the following, the process of irrigation and the problems will be presented, as well as the solution to these problems. After which the programming process and program implementation on the PLC control unit
