Abstract:

The paper introduces an intelligent control system of solar water heater based on the Niagara platform.This system consists mainly of a Jace controller based on the Niagara platform,the solar heat storage plate,the water pump,the fan,and the heating device.The Niagara platform solves both the logic programming and the industrial remote control,thus realizing the industrial control networking function.Tests show the system can modify the logic and realize the smart control on equipment with an Internet connection available.
