Анализ возможности использования программируемых контроллеров при управлении водораспределением в Донском магистральном канале

Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the possibilities of using programmable logic controllers (PLC) in water distribution management in the Don Main Canal. The work is an analytical study based on the principles of automation and optimization of water resources control. Discussion. The architecture of the control system, including programmable logic controllers, network modules and water level sensors in the main canal is discussed. The main attention is paid to justifying the use of PLC in the design and development of a water distribution control system, which allows control and regulate the water level in the channel using the upstream control scheme. The software offers possibility for monitoring water parameters, calculating optimal values and automatic adjustment of control signals. The advantages of using PLC in water distribution control system, including high flexibility, reliability and the possibility of easy integration with other systems are also analyzed. The methods of PLC setting, regulator optimization and energy management to achieve efficient and economical water resources management are described. The research confirms the effectiveness and applicability of using the programmable controllers in water distribution management system in the Don Main Canal. Conclusions: the results obtained make it possible to increase the efficiency of water resources use, reduce energy consumption and ensure stable control of water level in the irrigation canal.
