摘要： The present invention is directed to an irrigation controller, method and software program product for generating valve control signal for energizing a valve. The irrigation controller includes a valve actuation control module selectively coupled each of plurality of control nodes and generating a valve actuation control signal thereon. The valve actuation control signal is a continuous control voltage over a plurality of control signal periods for selectively energizing the selected irrigation valve. Also integrated in the irrigation is a valve chatter module for selectively coupled each of plurality of control nodes and generating a valve chatter control signal thereon. The valve chatter control signal has a plurality of duty cycles, with each duty cycle defined as one control signal period and at least one naught signal period. The control signal period has a control voltage over a first portion of the control signal period and a non-control voltage over a second portion of the control signal period. The naught signal period includes only a non-control voltage. The valve chatter module selectively and, intermittently, energizes the selected irrigation valve. The irrigation controller may further include a remote controller of remotely controlling the irrigation controller.
