Montagem e instalação de um sistema de controle automático de irrigação

Abstract

This work had as objectives to set up and to install overhead irrigations with different automation levels: automatic intelligent, automatic for temporizador and no automatic. An experiment was driven in the experimental area of the Laboratory of Hydraulics and Irrigation of the Federal University of Ceará, in Fortaleza, CE, in the period of October of 2004 to January of 2005. Those three systems were distributed in a statistical delineamento in blocks casualizados. The delineamento consisted of 6 blocks and three treatments distributed in 18 experimental portions measuring 4m of width and 12m of length, occupying a total area of 1600m2. The assembly was divided in two phases, the first phase consisted of the assembly of the electronic and electric systems composed for sensor of humidity (resistance blocks), sensor of temperature (termopares), datalogger, multiplexador, digital plate of E/S pattern ISA, conditioning plate of relés, temporizador, contactores, relés, departure key, cabeamento, aterramento and Monday of the waterworks and of irrigation composed of bombs, piping, reservoirs, manômetros, hydrometers, venturis, pressure sockets and connections; all of the extolled systems were mounted and installed in the field.
