摘要:
The present invention refers to a centralised control system that provides a plurality of transmittable commands (C1, ...., C6) to at least one connection interface (2). Said transmittable commands (C1, ..., C6) comprise a first command (C1) containing instructions for loading the contents of a third memory (NVM) in a first memory (14), a second command (C2) containing instructions for reading the contents of said first memory (14) and transmitting it to said personal computer (1), a third command (C3) containing instructions for writing directly in said first memory (14), a fourth command (C4) containing instructions for reading directly the data contained in said first memory (14), a fifth command (C5) containing instructions for reading the data contained in a second memory (15); a sixth command (C6) containing instructions for selecting between a first (local) and second (remote) operative mode.
摘要:
A system and method for operating a distributed control network (fig.3) for irrigation management. The system incorporates several irrigation controllers (15) wherein each of the controllers (15) can transmit, receive and respond to commands initiated by any device or satellite controller (15) on the network (fig.3), a communication bus (23) that is connected to the controllers (15), a central computer (25) that is connected to the bus (23), several sensing devices (21) that are connected to each controller (15), and several sprinkler valves (17) that are connected to each controller (15). The controllers (15) can be operated in local mode via a user interface and in a remote mode via a wireless connection (27). The controllers (15) are capable of monitoring and acknowledging the commands that are transmitted on the bus (23).
摘要:
An electronic device for the control of watering systems comprising valve means (16) for the interception of a watering fluid, comprising a processing unit (2) that controls the valve means (16) and that is provided with at least one memory (5), a visualisation device (12) controlled by the processing unit, one keyboard (14) comprising a first (23), a second (25) and a third key (24) to control the visualisation of the programming data. The processing unit (2) contains the data of the calendar of at least one year and the visualisation device (12) is provided with a date indicator (50) for the visualisation of days of the month. The menu comprises one page for the setting of the days of the watering of every month of at least one year and the third key (25) is operable for the determination of the watering days of every month of at least one year that are visualisable on the date indicator (50).
摘要:
A control unit for an irrigation system comprising a programmable electronic control unit (4) having a plurality of output control lines (15) for the control of actuators of the irrigation system and comprising programming means (6, 7) for setting data that condition the operation of the control unit. Said programming means (6, 7) are operable to allow a standard method of programming of said electronic control unit (4) for setting data suitable for allowing the base operation of the control unit, and an advanced method of programming for setting further data suitable for customizing the base operation of the control unit.
摘要:
An irrigation controller and valves incorporating an irrigation controller, which have user allocatable identification numbers, is disclosed. The controller and valves are programmed when to operate according to their identification number, and the program is uploaded and stored in each controller or valve as the case may be, together with clock data. The controller and valves then perform time keeping and operate according to the stored program. The controller and valves are intended to be battery operated, obviating the need to install wiring to connect the valves back to a central controller. This allows simplified installation and programming, and provides improved flexibility in programming of irrigation.

Method for determining the optimal quantity of water to be provided to a plot under cultivation comprising the following steps: a) acquiring information about the soil water content at the current time (D i-1 ); b) acquiring information about the soil features (TAW, RAW); c) acquiring information about the kind of crop present, and in particular its developing stage (Kc) and the level of water stress which the same is able to undergo according to the developing stage (MAD); d) acquiring information about the weather conditions foreseen in said time interval; e) calculating, according to the information acquired in steps a) and b), a parameter indicating the level of water stress in the soil at the current time (Ks i-1 ) ; f) calculating, according to said parameter calculated at point e) and to said information acquired at points c) and d), a parameter indicating the water quantity lost by the soil due to evaporation and transpiration (ETci); g) calculating, according to said parameter calculated at point f), a parameter indicating the water stress in the soil at the time following the current one (Ks i ), in the hypothesis of no irrigation; h) determining the water quantity to be provided at the current time (IRRi) in order that the value of said parameter calculated at point g) takes a value such that the water stress is lower than the water stress level that the crop is able to undergo (MAD).
摘要:
Apparatus, systems and methods for ascertaining the occupancy of a building are presented. The building is divided into one or more control zones which correspond to physical areas of the building associated with controllable modules, such as HVAC units, lighting, irrigation, or other environmental features such as fountains, music, video, and the like. Zone parameters define how zone devices shall react to the number of occupants located in the particular zone. A building control system detects individual mobile devices in and around the building, and determines the locations of each device by using trilateration and/or location services. The identified mobile devices act as proxies for building occupants. The locations of these devices are correlated with the locations of the zones in the building, and the building control system then adjusts the operating parameters of the zone based on the number of devices present in the zone.
