each of the 18 zones and two Watermark Granular Matrix Sensors(GMS) wereembedded within the top three inches of the surface spread across the zone to monitor the soilmoisture status of the zone. Each node also has an internal and external temperature sensor. Ingeneral, each node can be wired to three soil moisture sensors, a rain gauge, and an irrigation on-off switch. Future plans include attaching rain gauge sensors to one or two nodes and irrigationswitches to all of the nodes. Watermark Soil Moisture Sensors are about 3 inches long (Figure 2)and are normally inserted in the ground vertically. The resistance of GMS sensors decreases withwetness. As the soil dries out, the sensor dries out, and resistance to the flow of electricityincreases

satisfied. The students found thetrainers easy to use with very few issues. Figure 5 shows the trainer kit, which includes a smallbag, flat blade screwdriver, and programming cable.Figure 5: CLICK PLC Trainer KitThroughout the fall semester, there were instances where students took the trainers home tocomplete labs or because they had to quarantine. These events alone justified all the effort putinto designing and fabricating the trainers.All the requirements established for the trainer were met by this design.All labs involving the trainer met their success criterion.One thing that this trainer lacks that the previous one had is a touchscreen HMI. As mentionedpreviously, the HMI was not included due to budget reasons. It is planned to add an HMI
