CLICK PLC Expert - Small indoor smart farm automation project

Job ID: 39097431

Budget: $8 – $15 AUD

I'm seeking an expert in CLICK PLC systems to enhance the automation of my partially automated indoor smart farm.

1. PLC & Automation Scope (Handled by Automation Specialist)

1.1 Temperature and Humidity Control

Objective: Control the temperature and humidity in each grow tent based on their specific requirements.
Tents Involved:
Fruiting Tent (Tent 1)
Predodia Tent (Tent 2)
Incubation Tent (Tent 3)
Tasks:
Implement temperature and humidity monitoring for each tent.
Develop control logic for each tent to adjust conditions (temperature and humidity).
Use Modbus RTU communication for sensor integration with PLC.
Incorporate humidity control through the Ultrasonic Humidifier (UH01) based on dew point (13°C - 14°C) and humidity setpoints (85%-90% RH).

1.2 Heat Pump & Fan Coil Unit Control

Objective: Synchronize the heat pump (HP01) and fan coil unit (FCU01) based on cooling/heating modes.
Tasks:
Ensure the heat pump and fan coil unit operate in the same mode (heating/cooling).
Use Modbus RTU communication to control the heat pump and FCU.

1.3 Error Handling and Alerts

Objective: Implement error handling for all connected equipment.
Tasks:
Map heat pump error codes to user-friendly messages.
Set up email alerts for error notifications via Ignition Maker Edition or another system.

1.4 Data Logging and Trend Recording

Objective: Record environmental data (temperature, humidity) from all grow tents.
Tasks:
Log sensor data to a local database (InfluxDB or similar).
Provide data for historical trend analysis.
Provide Modbus or OPC data integration for real-time monitoring.
