The SCADA system for Irrigation is based on ViewStar ICS and equipment developed by Actemium Portugal.
Results
The Central system collects data from the Concentrator Units (3 units) through a Fiber network that is installed along the water channel. The concentrator Units are connected to the Local Units through a Power Line that is installed along the Irrigation distribution Network. The local units are installed in the hydrants chambers and are connected to the water flow counters, to the pressure transmitters (placed in strategic points of the network) and to the solenoid valves.
Each local unit can monitor up to 4 outlet valves. These units have a backup battery that allows them to store the historical data log and send it by GPRS in case of communication failure.
Real-time monitoring of process variables; allowing real-time efficient management of the network;
Management and configuration of irrigation programs and modes in order to be able to manage the pressures along the distribution network;
Data recording of the irrigation process, alarms and occurrences for a historical analysis process;
Real time monitoring and alarm messaging via SMS or email;
Periodic or on demand reports;
Process data export for billing purposes and/or analysis.
