USING PLC CONTROLLER IN THE DESIGN OF THE INTELLIGENT MARINE BUOY MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

Nowadays, the remote control system for maritime buoys is one of the most important issues. The traditional method is technically simple but labour-intensive and life-threatening. Therefore, applying advanced methods and technology in this field is necessary. The article introduces the marine signalling buoy monitoring system to monitor the buoy's parameters, including the buoy's blinking cycle, coordinates, and solar battery charging current. In addition, several sensors are used in the work to measure and collect data to predict the quality of the water, the seabed and the organisms that live in it. The system collects data over time to the management centre for remote monitoring and storage via the Internet.
