分布式控制應(yīng)用的通信注意事項(xiàng)

　　建立和運(yùn)行分布式智能系統(tǒng)，如灌溉項(xiàng)目和智能物聯(lián)網(wǎng)建設(shè)，必須取得卓越的能力和運(yùn)營(yíng)成本之間的平衡-特別是關(guān)于努力維持系統(tǒng)所需的努力。較大的分布式網(wǎng)絡(luò)，更高的復(fù)雜性，成本和潛在的干預(yù)措施所需的運(yùn)營(yíng)商保持系統(tǒng)正確執(zhí)行。

　　在本系列的第3部分，我們將看到如何仔細(xì)選擇通信架構(gòu)可以避免維護(hù)開(kāi)銷(xiāo)成本，同時(shí)提供卓越的能力。

　　隨著智能應(yīng)用程序的增加，他們使用的傳感器和執(zhí)行器的數(shù)量也隨之增加，以及這些設(shè)備之間的連接和通信的復(fù)雜性。這種通信的復(fù)雜性被進(jìn)一步放大時(shí)，傳感器和致動(dòng)器在地理上彼此相對(duì)分布。

　　In a typical， small-scale irrigation system， all of the necessary processing is centralized in a single control unit that relies on a local timer function， an irrigation scheduler， and switches to deliver power to valve solenoids that control the flow of water through the subsections of the system. The user is responsible for making sure the system is operating correctly and to make adjustments as needed to ensure its continued efficient operation.

　　Smart irrigation systems add sensors to offload some or most the responsibility from the user to make the dynamic adjustments necessary to maintain the efficiency of the system， as well as to detect and autonomously respond when faults occur. When the physical area serviced by the irrigation project is more widely distributed， it becomes appropriate to consider more complex communication options that also enable the processing to be distributed throughout the system for the benefit of efficiency， reliability， and cost savings.
