SUMMARY:

Irrigation materials characterization tests are of paramount importance for the correct design of new systems, as well as the improvement of systems in operation. However, these tests are carried out in laboratories, which requires the supervision of qualified and trained technical professionals, in addition to demanding time and capital to be carried out. A solution to reduce costs, optimize the time spent in carrying out tests and add quality to the results obtained is through the implementation of automatic systems. In this sense, the objective of this project is the development and implementation of an automatic pressure control system, applied to a test bench for the characterization of rotary sprinklers, using the PID controller (Proportional-Integrative-Derivative) as a control technique. . For this, the Arduino prototyping platform, in its R3 model, will be used, which will process all the information obtained by the sensors, from a programming developed in the software (interface) and will control the pressure supplied to the sprinklers, through actuators, being a frequency inverter and a motor pump. It is expected that the results obtained in carrying out this project provide more efficient automatic test benches, adding reliability, precision and quality in carrying out the tests and obtaining the data generated by them, culminating in the improvement of field application efficiency. It is also expected to serve as a facilitating agent for the activities carried out by technical professionals, in particular by laboratory technicians, providing agility in the execution of the service and reduction of errors inherent to operators, thus contributing to the feasibility and characterization of a greater number of tests for the same laboratory infrastructure.
