From the viewpoint of modern control theory, soil-plant-water is concerned with a complicated system. Thus, precision irrigation needs all kinds of advanced techniques to archive high efficiency of water resource. This paper presents an irrigation system, which includes FD moisture sensor, wireless communication, RS-485 bus, remote control and distributed control. In particular, authors developed the complete irrigation system, including soil moisture sensor. Since soil-plant-water is viewed as a time-varying objective, a control algorithm related twoinput to one-output for fuzzy model is proposed. As a demo of automatic control in water resource usage, this system has been running for one year to monitor and control irrigation process in a greenbelt of the campus of Beijing Forestry University.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
