Abstract

The purposes of this project are to develop an effective irrigation system for paddy field by using Programmable Logic Control (PLC) especially at KEDAH. This project is allowing the water from the main canal to the secondary canal just press the button to open the valve. Consequently, it can save the energy of human. Besides that, the volumes of water that irrigate to the paddy filed are accurate following the specifications. Before that, the irrigation system still control manually which is the human will open and close the valves to flow the water when get the order from headquarter of MAD A. Therefore it wastes the time and makes the paddy damage because late to get the enough of water. Besides that, the volumes of the water probability are not accurate effect from the careless of the human itself. The operators are not able to control the water at every block of paddy field that has more than one of the valves. The main objectives this project is to change the manual system to the automatic system to control the volumes of the water based on the specifications from headquarters of MADA to irrigate from main canal to the secondary canal and next to the paddy field. The programmed of the PLC implemented using CX-Programmer as the programming tool has to be develop. The PLC system is used to ON or OFF the motor to control the gate instead of steering the valves. Besides that, the irrigation system can function in two ways either automatically based on the sensor detection or manually depend on switch ON or OFF. The prototype is design to describe the real paddy field and to observe that the PLC is function properly.
