- Title
Design, implementation and tuning of an irrigation canal system SCADA.

- Abstract
The paper presents the design, implementation and field tuning of the (SCADA) system of a Portuguese irrigation canal network upstream controlled by AMIL radial gates and equipped with other Neyrpic devices. In addition to the irrigation district and its main hydraulic system, the paper also presents SCADA architecture, including two synoptics, and their remote terminal units (monitoring and controlling as well as monitoring units). The SCADA manual controllers - direct, gate position and gate flow controllers - are defined for the intakes of main canals and main distributors, in order to permit a pre-defined flow value or a daily flow schedule achievement. SCADA also monitors outflows from the main canals and main distributors - the most important canal-top-side weirs and terminal weirs of the canal. The developed manual gate flow controllers were tuned in the field using collected data readings from two types of acoustic Doppler flow meters. The field procedures for tuning the flow controllers and the obtained parameter values are also presented.
