RESUMO

In this work, the automation of a direct injection sprayer system for variable rate application of agrochemicals is presented. The automation of the sprayer system assembled on a laboratory static bench is based on a programmable controller with real time capabilities. Variable rate sprayer with direct injection systems allow multiple agrochemical application and additionally reduces the toxicologic and environmental risks associated with the carrier-agrochemical mix preparation and discard. The automation of this system comprises the development of interface boards, the sprayer modeling and the control of flow rates. Using a simulation environment based on LabVIEW, the developed source code and routines could be implemented directly in the programmable controller, requiring few or no changes. For the injection flow rate, which is set by a piston pump, a proportional-integral (PI) controller is used. And, to regulate the carrier-agrochemical mix flow rate, which is set by a three-way proportional control valve, two controllers are used: a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and a fuzzy gain scheduling of PID controller. The performance of the implemented controllers is analyzed via the flow rates and the application error results.
