"Agricultural control motherboard PCBA" is the agricultural control motherboard printed circuit board assembly. The following is a detailed introduction to it:
Overview
The agricultural control motherboard PCBA is the core component of agricultural automation and intelligent equipment. It integrates a variety of electronic components and circuits to realize the control, monitoring and data processing of various equipment and systems in the agricultural production process, thereby improving agricultural production efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and realizing precision agriculture.
Components
Microcontroller (MCU): As the core of the motherboard, the microcontroller is responsible for executing various control instructions and algorithms. According to different agricultural application scenarios and complexity, MCUs with different performances can be selected, such as 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit chips. It can process data from various sensors, perform logical judgments and calculations, and send control signals to actuators to coordinate the operation of agricultural equipment.
Sensor interface circuit: Connect a variety of agricultural-specific sensors, such as soil moisture sensors, soil nutrient sensors, meteorological sensors (including temperature, humidity, light intensity, wind speed, rainfall, etc.), crop growth status sensors, etc. These interface circuits are responsible for converting the analog signals collected by the sensors into digital signals, and performing preliminary processing and amplification so that the microcontroller can accurately read and analyze the data.
Communication module circuit: realizes the communication between the agricultural control mainboard and external devices or systems. Common communication methods include wired communication (such as Ethernet, RS485, CAN bus, etc.) and wireless communication (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, NB-IoT, etc.). Through the communication module, the mainboard can upload the collected data to the cloud server or farm management system, and receive control instructions from the remote to achieve remote monitoring and management.
Actuator drive circuit: used to drive various actuators in agricultural production, such as solenoid valves and water pumps in irrigation systems, motors and valves in fertilization systems, roller shutters, ventilators, and fill lights in greenhouses. According to the instructions of the microcontroller, the drive circuit controls the action of the actuator to achieve precise control of the agricultural production environment and operations.
Storage circuit: usually composed of flash memory, EEPROM and other storage devices, used to store data related to agricultural production, such as historical environmental data, equipment operating parameters, crop growth records, etc. These data are of great significance for analyzing agricultural production processes, optimizing production strategies, and conducting traceability management. At the same time, the storage circuit can also save the system configuration information and control program to ensure that the equipment can retain important data after power failure.
Power management circuit: converts the input power (such as AC or DC) into a stable voltage suitable for the operation of various electronic components on the motherboard, such as 5V, 3.3V, 12V, etc. It also has overvoltage, overcurrent, undervoltage protection and other functions to ensure that the motherboard can operate safely and stably under different power supply conditions.
Working principle
Data acquisition: The sensor interface circuit collects data from various agricultural sensors in real time, converts it into digital signals and transmits it to the microcontroller. For example, the soil moisture sensor detects the moisture content in the soil, converts it into an electrical signal, and then converts it into a digital value through the interface circuit. The microcontroller reads the value to understand the moisture content of the soil.
Data analysis and decision-making: The microcontroller analyzes and processes the received data and compares it with the preset threshold or standard. For example, when the soil moisture is lower than the set lower limit, the microcontroller determines that irrigation is needed, and calculates the reasonable irrigation amount and irrigation time based on other relevant data (such as crop growth stage, weather conditions, etc.).
Instruction output: According to the analysis results, the microcontroller sends control instructions to the corresponding actuator through the actuator drive circuit. For example, the solenoid valve of the irrigation system is opened to start the water pump for irrigation; or the ventilator of the greenhouse is controlled to operate to adjust the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse.
Data communication and storage: The communication module uploads the collected data and the operating status information of the equipment to the cloud server or other management system to realize remote storage and sharing of data. At the same time, the storage circuit saves important data and system configuration information for subsequent query and analysis.
Application scenario
Intelligent greenhouse: used to accurately control environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, light, and carbon dioxide concentration in the greenhouse to provide the best conditions for crop growth. Through the agricultural control motherboard PCBA, the automatic control of greenhouse equipment is realized, such as automatic adjustment of shading nets, ventilation equipment, irrigation systems, and fertilization systems, etc., to improve crop yield and quality.
Precision irrigation system: According to factors such as soil moisture, crop water demand and meteorological conditions, the irrigation amount and irrigation time are monitored and controlled in real time to achieve precise irrigation. Reduce the waste of water resources, improve irrigation efficiency, and meet the water needs of crops at different growth stages.
Agricultural robot: As the core control component of the agricultural robot, it controls the robot's movement, operation, and data collection functions. For example, in an orchard, agricultural robots can achieve tasks such as fruit picking and pest monitoring by controlling the motherboard; in farmland, robots can perform weeding and fertilization.
Agricultural product quality traceability system: collects various data during the growth of agricultural products, such as planting environment, fertilization and drug use records, picking time, etc., and stores these data in the cloud. Consumers can scan the QR code on the agricultural products to obtain detailed information about the products, realize the quality traceability of agricultural products, and improve the safety and credibility of agricultural products.
