Design of Intelligent Greenhouse Control System based on MCGS and PLC

Abstract

Abstract In modern agriculture, intelligent greenhouse systems have become a critical component for optimizing crop growth and maximizing yield. By integrating information technology with the isolation and climate control capabilities of greenhouses, these systems not only enable the automation and intelligence of agricultural production, but also play a crucial role in regulating seasons, protecting crops from extreme weather events, and ensuring optimal growing conditions. In this paper, a comprehensive control system for an intelligent greenhouse was designed, with Mitsubishi PLC and MCGS as the core components, based on the specific growth requirements of plants. The system consists of two main parts: hardware and software. The researchers constructed an advanced control system using a range of sensors and control devices, utilizing a typical PID control algorithm to maintain ideal growing conditions for plants. This research highlights the importance of intelligent greenhouse systems in modern agriculture and presents a promising solution for optimizing crop growth and yield through advanced automation and control.
