Design and implementation of a real-time data acquisition system for the identification of dynamic temperature models in a hydroponic greenhouse

This text describes a real data acquisition and identification system implemented in a soilless greenhouse located at the University of Algarve (south of Portugal). Using the Real Time Workshop, Simulink, Matlab and the C programming language a system was developed to perform real-time data acquisition from a set of sensors.

Real-time data acquisition system for the Identification of dynamic temperature models in a hydroponic greenhouse

A real-time data acquisition and identification system implemented in a soil-less greenhouse located in the south of Portugal is described. The system performs real-time data acquisition from a set of sensors connected to a data logger.

The PID controllers are widely used in industry. Whether because the plant is time-varying, or because of components ageing, these controllers need to be regularly retuned. During the last years, several methods have been proposed for PID autotuning.

A neural network PID autotuner

Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) regulators are standard building blocks for industrial automation. Their popularity comes from their rebust performance and also from their functional simplicity. Whether because the plant is time-varying, or because of components ageing, these controllers need to be regularly retuned.
