Remote monitoring of irrigation systems for pumping electric to farming of rice in the department of Huila

Abstract

It was developed an integrated system that is responsible for monitoring the state of the main variables of an irrigation system (water flow, temperature and magnetic state of the pump motor) and send this information to the end user in real time via Internet through a website that was designed for this purpose. The system comprises three sensors (temperature, flow and magnetic state), which a smartcard development (Arduino) responsible for the acquisition and processing of the magnitude of the variable, two modules wireless transmission (XBee) connect which connect the electronic board to a computer (web server), which with an Internet connection is responsible for sending this information to the user or system administrator by email. The monitoring system is propose to Electrohuila SA ESP may offer it as a value-added service users to agricultural irrigation systems with electrical pumping. Electrohuila ESP SA is the service company responsible for distribution of electricity in the department of Huila, Colombia.
