Good afternoon and blessings, currently I am in full execution of an Automation project of a large-scale Greenhouse complex, which uses NFT hydroponics technology, we are currently selecting the technology to automate the control of PH, EC and temp in the main reservoirs (main tank) which are 2 underground. and located next to each other.
To this end, we are locating a technology based on a single PLC that controls the PH, EC and Temp in both reservoirs and that can be integrated under open protocols (modbus tcp, MQTT or another) with a SCADA-type platform that we are installing in the complex.
Additionally, it can integrate small level control loops for stopping the suction pump to the NFT system and the solenoid valve for feeding the nutrient solution that feeds the tank.
Any recommendation for a potential solution in this matter and references?
