Intelligent Data Acquisition for Green House Environment

In the last few years data acquisition and control systems are PC based for industrial and laboratory applications. In this paper, we present a data acquisition process to monitor the greenhouse environment. The simulation process consists of Real Time setup using Proteus software. The changes in the sensor variables such as temperature, soil moisture and humidity are monitored and are interfaced to the Visual Studio to collect the data from the Real Time environmental setup. The interfacing is done with the help of virtual serial port driver to send the data from real time environment to the data acquisition side. The data are continuously monitored and increase in threshold values performs the necessary action to reduce them to their control values. Thus it provides an automatic control over the environment precisely.
