摘要:
An electronic control unit for the control of automatic watering systems having plural lines comprising an electronic circuit with a programmable processing unit (83) for the control of a plurality of different watering lines. A manually operated selector (59), preferably of the rotary type, is provided, that is settable in a plurality of selectionable positions (1-28), to each one of which a specific watering cycle for said lines corresponds. By acting on the selector (59) and on a start button (62), it is possible to modify the programming of the processing unit (83) in order to associate with each single line a respective watering cycle different from the ones otherwise selectable by means of the selector (59).
摘要:
A system may include sensor equipment including one or more sensors disposed on a parcel of land, watering equipment disposed on the parcel and configured to selectively apply water to the parcel, and a gateway configured to provide for communication with the sensor equipment and the watering equipment. The gateway may interface between a first network and a second network. The first network may include at least the watering equipment and the sensor equipment. An operator may be enabled to wirelessly communicate with the gateway via the second network. At least one component of the watering equipment or the sensor equipment may be an adaptive component.

摘要:
An irrigation management system (52) includes a monitoring system (56), a controller (54) and a user interface (66). The monitoring system monitors an operational status of the irrigation system (58, 60, 62), including a current position, a travel status, a direction of travel, and a fault status. The user interface displays a map view of a geographic area including an irrigated area corresponding to the irrigation system. A graphical element in the map view provides a visual indication of the operational status of the irrigation system. The controller receives monitoring information from the monitoring system and continuously updates the user interface to reflect changes in the operational status of the irrigation system, such that the graphical element reflects a current status of the irrigation system.

Several embodiments provide wireless extensions to an irrigation controller system and related methods of use, as well as other improvements to irrigation control equipment. In one implementation, an irrigation control system includes a transmitter unit including a controller and having a connector to be coupled to an irrigation controller having station actuation output connectors. The controller is configured to receive an indication that the irrigation controller has activated an irrigation station, and is also configured to cause the transmitter unit to transmit a wireless activation signal responsive to the indication. A receiver unit is coupled to an actuator coupled to an actuatable device, such as an irrigation valve, the actuator configured to actuate the irrigation valve to control the flow of water therethrough. The receiver unit receives the wireless activation signal and in response, causes the actuator to actuate the actuatable device.
摘要:
A large number of irrigation system devices (26, 28) connected to a common two-wire cable (20) can be powered and individually controlled from a central location (14) by transmitting over the cable DC pulses of alternating polarity. Control information is conveyed by transmitting a command pulse train consisting of a series of pulses, separated by short no-power intervals, whose polarities indicate logic ones or zeros. Following a command pulse train, a selected watering station decoder (22) acknowledges receipt of instructions by drawing current during a predetermined pulse of an alternating-polarity power pulse cycle, while a sensor decoder (24) returns binary data by drawing current during one or the other of the alternating-polarity pulses of a series of power pulse cycles.
