The automatic control of drip irrigation systems is one concept relative to manual control. In short, it is to use some additional equipment or programs without human intervention to make some parameters of the whole planting process adjust automatically according to the environment so that the whole drip irrigation system can run smoothly and efficiently. How to understand the automation control of the specific drip irrigation system? Let's talk about it.

Automatic control of drip irrigation systems
The automatic control drip irrigation system can automatically recognize the time that the irrigation is needed and how long it takes without human control. The system can optimize water consumption according to the types of plants, soil, and the amount of light. It can also monitor the soil humidity after rain, increase the irrigation amount when the soil is too dry, and reduce the irrigation amount when the soil is too wet.

The drip irrigation automation system is a set of field automation irrigation systems composed of the irrigation pipes, the water source, the head control device, the measuring instrument, the water transmission and distribution network, the central monitoring computer, the field control station, the solenoid valve, the control cable, the irrigation pipeline and related software system. In the drip irrigation system, there are no sensors installed in the irrigation area. The irrigation time, irrigation amount and irrigation cycle are all controlled by the operator at the head of the system. The operator does not need to enter the field by using the cable through the irrigation operation touch screen. For the large area automatic control system, how to realize the communication between the control center and the actuator more reliably and economically becomes the main problem because of the long distance.

In the drip irrigation automatic control system, there are three kinds of automatic control communication modes in the field of irrigation from the control center to the actuator: The first is wired (the transmission of electric signals). The second is wired (the transmission of power signals). And the third is wireless (the transmission of radio signals).

As the implementation of drip irrigation automation is a relatively complex process, the implementation of the common domestic drip irrigation automation system can be summarized as follows: first, it is the automatic control of the first equipment, including the automatic opening and automatic backwashing of the water pump. Second, it is the automatic control of the field pipe network valve. Third, it is the automatic collection and intelligent decision-making of the moisture in the field of water and other information.
