Green House
The Green House Application
This application combines an irrigation system and up to 4 climate control systems in the same controller.

Climate System Sensors

  • Internal Sensors in the greenhouse includes: temperature, humidity, CO2 and more.
  • External Sensors includes: wind velocity and direction, radiation, rain meter, external temperature and humidity and more.
  • The normal temperature, humidity and radiation are carried out by a central program of requirements according to the day segmentation. The day (24 hours) can be divided into up to 8 segments each having required temperature, humidity and radiation. The control is carried out (according to the element setup) to maintain the required condition throughout the day.
    On the basis of the above sensors the system operates the greenhouse components.
Up to 4 greenhouses climate controlled systems can be setup each containing
Windows
(Curtains) (up to 10 - including roof windows): Each of the windows can open up in 10 stages according to temperature, humidity, wind, rain, logic conditions and processes such as CO2 and spraying.
Fans (up to 4)
Refers to the fans installed on the side wall of the greenhouse and exhaust the air outside the green house letting fresh air into the green house from the opposite wall. Up to 4 groups of fans can be controlled per greenhouse. The fans can be programmed to work according to the conditions mentioned for the windows along with cyclic programs that can change the cycle automatically according to the temperature. The fans can be dependent on other process in the same way as the windows.
Thermal Screens (up to 4)
An element in the greenhouse that can be spread or rolled up according to the level of the radiation and/or the temperature.
Up to 4 opening stages can be setup.
Cooling System (up to 4)
The cooling system is either wet pads or fogging systems. It can be operated according to the temperature, humidity or other conditions. The process of cooling includes in many cases operation of other elements such as fans in the case of cooling pads.
Heating System (up to 4)
The methods of heating the greenhouse are either hot water heating or air heating. The heating system is normally programmed to maintain a certain air temperature by starting and stopping the heating output. When greater accuracy is required or in more severe conditions a special program of "Circulating Heating" is available, allowing PID control of the water temperature, according to the air temperature and the heating conductivity data of the greenhouse. Heating can be dependant on humidity and other conditions.
CO2 Enrichment (up to 4)
A program controlling the operation of the CO2 valve.
The process of CO2 may include some other elements such as windows, air circulating etc.
Spraying (up to 4)
This system usually includes a special device that emits pesticide spray in a certain location in the greenhouse. The process includes closing windows and operating the air circulating in order to ensure that the pesticide reaches all points of the greenhouse.
Air Circulating (up to 6)
Refers to fans installed inside the greenhouse that cause air circulation inside the greenhouse. The programs of these elements include cyclic operation according to temperature, humidity and processes such as spraying, CO2 and many others. This same element can be used also for lighting and others.

Irrigation
 
Green House Irrigation System
The system is composed of one irrigation head in which a fertilizer center performs sophisticated fertilizer injection of up to 8 different fertilizers whilst carrying out the essential control of conductivity and acidity of the irrigation water.

  • One irrigation head including: main Valve, water pump, main fert, etc.
  • Up to 100 valves
  • Up to 8 fertilizer pumps
  • Up to 5 fert. selectors
  • Up to 10 filters
  • Up to 20 drainage sampling outputs
  • Up to 40 misting valves
  • Additional elements

The following elements can be read by the irrigation system

  • One water meter
  • 8 fertilizer meters
  • Up to 100 sensors
  • Special mixer Inputs
  • Special mixing and recycling inputs.

Programming Features:

  • Up to 100 irrigation program can be set, each containing:
  • Up to 4 valves directly and 16 valves. indirectly worked by a single program.
  • Preset fertilizer programs: Up to 50 different fertilizer programs in which the proportion of fertilizer/water for each fertilizer pump is set along with the EC/pH requirement.
  • The time range for operation.
  • Up to 5 hourly start times per day.
  • Cyclic irrigation.
  • Several options of manual overriding.

Misting programs:

  • Up to 40 foggers with a fogging program each containing:
  • Time of operation.
  • Time of cycle that can be altered by the conditions of temperature, humidity and other conditions.
  • The use of logical conditions for operation.
  • Sequential operation.
  • Drainage Sampling: Up to 20 sampling points can be connected to the controller via a device called "Dagan". It measures the quantity, EC and pH automatically and corrects the next irrigation properties
  • Filter Flushing: Up to 10 filters divided between up to 2 stations can be programmed.
