Using computer modeling for developing an automated greenhouse control system using automatic programming

Abstract

Background. The work shows how computer models and automatic programming techniques help in developing control system program code using the example of creating software for an automated greenhouse. Materials and methods. The main stages of developing a control program are reflected using certain mathematical patterns and algorithms used in creating the control system code and simplifying the development process itself. The benefits of using an automated greenhouse have been shown, both in households and in agricultural companies. The main technological units that help automate the process of growing plants are presented, as well as the parameters that help control these units. The necessity of introducing a PID controller into the technological process to control the temperature inside the greenhouse is substantiated. An example of setting up a PID controller for specific greenhouse conditions is given. Results. The process of distributing selected parameters of a technological system into data blocks, each of which is located in a separate machine, is described. Conclusions. The article ends with a block diagram that is found in the logic of the automata program and a diagram of the general interaction of computer models in the Automata Programming technique.
