Abstract
In order to help the small-scale farmer, an automatic irrigation control system was proposed. This system will provide an irrigation system that will ease the burden of the citizen to take care of the plant. This system will run automatically by referring to the time set by the user. As the name itself is a water control system, this system will only start irrigating when the time set triggered the water control level for the plant to grow healthily. It will automatically stop when the timer is off (1 hour). The brain of the system is the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). This is the place where all the activities are done. The irrigation will be provided by a pump that is also connected to the microcontroller. The pump will be activated until the timer has reached its time set. This system will continue running until the user presses the OFF button.
Highlights
As technology undergoes rapid advancement, complicated task such as control system is accomplished with a highly automated control system
Example of the system may be in the form of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and possibly a host computer and accompanied with signal interfacing to the field devices such as operator panel, motors, sensors, switches, and solenoid valves
Large PLCs are used in the oil and natural gas industry in Indonesia and Malaysia
Summary
As technology undergoes rapid advancement, complicated task such as control system is accomplished with a highly automated control system. Among the most important implementation for PLCs in Southeast Asia is the oil & gas industry. Malaysia is world famous for its palm oil, accounting for a large portion of total global production. Large PLCs are used in the oil and natural gas industry in Indonesia and Malaysia. Another important for PLCs implementations in Southeast Asia is the automotive manufacturing industry. Thailand is world-famous for its production of automotive electronics; with industry requirements for PLCs multiply after the country was hit by critical flooding in 2011. Example applications include food processing, building environmental control, grain drying, aquaculture production, and tractor and machinery systems. It includes how to set up the PLC programmer, integration between the software and hardware, construction of the circuit, and run monitoring
