Design of wireless transmission system for intelligent agricultural greenhouse data acquisition based on modbus communication protocol

Traditional agricultural greenhouses rely too much on manual labor and have a poor ability to adjust the key factors that affect crop growth, such as temperature, humidity, and illumination, resulting in low production efficiency and unstable product quality. Based on the MODBUS communication protocol, a set of intelligent agricultural greenhouse data acquisition wireless transmission systems is designed in this paper. Intelligent instruments, sensors, wireless transmission equipment, and smart control equipment (PLC) have been introduced in agricultural greenhouses. These sensors and instruments automatically collect data and wirelessly transmit it to the intelligent control system in the control room, which is located a few kilometers away. The intelligent control system processes the data and generates various control instructions which are then transmitted to the executive mechanism in agricultural greenhouses for implementation. We complete automatic adjustment of temperature, humidity, illuminance, and other parameters and operations. The intelligent, large-scale, and unmanned agricultural greenhouses are realized. It greatly improves the production efficiency and product quality of crops.
