Control Panels for Air Quality

Industrial PLC-driven systems for precise laboratory and agricultural monitoring.

In collaboration with FieldGuard

This project involved the development of five complete control panels for an installation that measures ammonia and CO2 values of the air intake. The air is pumped through a measuring tube in which the sensors are placed. The entire system is controlled by a WAGO PLC, with high-reliability hardware placement and wiring.

The PLC programming in CODESYS included setting up communication between PLC and sensors, processing measurement values, and creating a control panel in the form of a web visualization for real-time monitoring and historical data tracking.

I executed the entire project from A to Z: from the assembly of the measuring tube to the mechanical placement of cable ducts and DIN rails, mounting the various components, routing all wiring through the terminal strip, and writing the final software logic.

Who is this for?

These control panels are relevant for companies and institutions that need to take air quality monitoring seriously, such as laboratories and agricultural businesses where ammonia and CO2 levels have to be tracked precisely. The project also shows what's possible for organizations that, like FieldGuard, want to grow a measurement setup into a complete, reliable system with professional control. It's a good example, too, for anyone curious how raw sensor data ends up in a clear web dashboard by way of a PLC.

What makes it special?

What stands out about this project is the end-to-end approach: from assembling the measuring tube and the mechanical build of the panels to the PLC programming and the web visualization used to follow the measurements. Because everything, from wiring to software, was handled by one person, the five panels connect seamlessly, and the result is a system where measurements are not just collected reliably but also made directly visible to the people using them.
