Beschreibung
Aquaculture and agriculture are moving toward an intensive controlled environment production with a significant increase in production, but at a cost of increased risk of catastrophic loss due to equipment or management failures. In addition, managers of intensive production facilities need accurate, real-time information on system status and performance in order to maximize their potential. This work has developed and deployed low cost short-range modules of wireless sensor network based on ZigBee standard and virtual instruments technology in order to monitor and control an quaculture system in real time. The system consists of smart sensor nodes, coordinator/gateway node and personal computer (PC). The smart sensor nodes monitor environmental parameters such as dissolved oxygen, water temperature, pH and water level using relevant sensors, transmit this information to the coordinator/gateway node through ZigBee network and receive control signals for actuator control. The coordinator/gateway node receives data acquired and sends command to PC in order to achieve human-computer visualization interface. The graphical user interface (GUI) was designed by LabWindows/CVI software.
