Abstract: A control system for use with an irrigation system that includes a plurality of towers comprises a plurality of node controllers and a main controller. Each node controller is associated with a successive one of the towers and is configured to monitor operation of a plurality of components of the tower and to transmit data that includes a node identification number which corresponds to a positional number of the associated tower. The main controller is configured to receive the data. The control system executes a configuration process in which each node controller is assigned the node identification number in a sequence.

Abstract: A hose-pull apparatus for mounting to an irrigation system mobile tower supporting a fluid-carrying conduit. The hose-pull apparatus includes a swivel, a first pipe section, a joint, and a second pipe section. The swivel is configured to be in fluid communication with the conduit and rotate about a vertical axis. The first pipe section has a first end connected to the swivel and a second end extending outwardly from the swivel so that the first pipe section can pivot horizontally. The joint is connected to the second end of the first pipe section. The second pipe section has a first end connected to the joint so that the second pipe section can articulate relative to the first pipe section. The joint also has a second end configured to be in fluid communication with a supply hose.

Abstract: An irrigation system includes support towers, pipeline spans, a joint pivotally connecting the pipeline spans, and a truss section. One pipeline span extends between the support towers along a central axis and includes a middle region, and the other is adjacent and coaxial with the first pipeline span when aligned. The truss section supports one of the pipeline spans and includes compression elements, truss structures, and tension elements. The compression elements extend downward from the pipeline span. The truss structures extend longitudinally along the pipeline span and are fixed relative to the compression elements. The tension elements extend diagonally downward from the pipeline span toward the middle region of the pipeline span and are fixed relative to the truss structures.

Abstract: A tilt monitoring system for a mobile irrigation system including a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to detect a tilt magnitude of the span and generate a corresponding tilt signal. The controller is configured to receive the tilt signal representing the tilt magnitude, generate a deactivation signal representing an instruction to deactivate the drive motor if the tilt magnitude is greater than a tilt threshold, transmit the deactivation signal to the drive motor, generate a notification signal representing a notification that the drive motor has been deactivated due to the tilt magnitude, transmit the notification signal, receive a follow-up input signal representing a follow-up input, generate a follow-up command signal representing a command for implementing the follow-up input, and transmit the follow-up command signal so that the mobile irrigation system implements the follow-up input.

Abstract: A system and method for calibrating an irrigation system to account for variations in flow rates, motor operating parameters, and other parameters caused by field elevation changes, pipe friction losses, water emitter nozzle wear, pressure-regulator inaccuracies, and other factors. A calibration map is created to account for the flow rate variations or other parameters and then consulted to control operation of the irrigation system.

Abstract: A data management system for an irrigation system and methods of controlling operations thereof are provided. The data management system directs data captured at a plurality of sensors on the irrigation system to a remote device. The data management system comprises a communication bus and a plurality of communications. The communication bus extends along the irrigation system. The plurality of communication systems are positioned on the irrigation system and are connected to the communication bus. Each of the communication systems is configured to receive signals representative of the data from one of the sensors and to transmit signals representative of the data, via wireless communication, to the remote device.

Abstract: An irrigation system and method of controlling operations of the irrigation system are provided. The irrigation system comprises a plurality of mobile support towers, a plurality of structural supports, a fluid-carrying conduit, water emitters, a sensor, and a control system. The plurality of mobile support towers are configured to move across a field. The plurality of structural supports extend between the mobile support towers, and the fluid-carrying conduit is supported above the field by the plurality of structural supports. The water emitters are coupled with the fluid-carrying conduit and emit water from the conduit onto the field. The sensor is supported on one of the structural supports or mobile support towers and is configured to capture data associated with a residue cover of a portion of the field. The control system is in communication with the sensor and is configured to receive the data associated with the residue cover of the portion of the field and determine a residue cover percentage for the portion of the field based on the data.
