Remote control and monitoring of “the Cascade 65T” sprinkler machine

Abstract

The system of remote control and monitoring of the sprinkler machine “Cascade 65T” is presented. The purpose of the research was to justify the expediency of equipping the sprinkler machine “Cascade 65T” with the equipment implementing the function of remote control and monitoring. The research was carried out on the fields of UNPO “Povolzhye” of Vavilov University and UNPK Agro Center of Vavilov University. Due to the functions of remote control and monitoring the sprinkler machine “Cascade 65T” meets the requirements of precision agriculture. Operational data on the irrigation progress and signals are transmitted via the Internet, allowing remote control of the machine operation. GPS receiver, located on the last cart, allows you to set the current position of the sprinkler on the irrigated area. Information about the irrigation process goes to the central fail-safe server of the system, where it is processed and entered into the database, which can be integrated into the accounting system of the enterprise. It has been established that the introduction of sprinkler machines “Cascade 65T” and the universal control and monitoring system on the agricultural enterprise will bring to unified management of sprinkler machines and pumping stations. This in turn will ensure the coordinated operation of sprinkler machines and optimal distribution of loads on the pumping stations.
