    摘要: Described herein are several embodiments relating to modular irrigation controllers. In many implementations, the irrigation controllers are modular in that various functional components of the irrigation controller are implemented in removable modules that when inserted into position within the controller, expand the capabilities of the controller. Also described are various different types of expansion modules that may be coupled to the modular controller, having as variety of functions and features, as well as related methods of use and configuration of these modules in the controller. In some embodiments, authentication procedures are provided for one or both of a modular irrigation controller and an expansion module to determine if they are authorized to operate together.

    摘要: Molded enclosures including integrally formed knockouts are described herein. In one implementation, a molded enclosure a wall having a wall thickness and a first knockout integrally formed in the wall. At least a portion of a periphery of the first knockout is defined by at least one attachment tab formed at a portion of the periphery of the first knockout and at least one space is formed at the periphery of the first knockout separating a portion of the wall from a portion of the first knockout, the at least one attachment tab joining the first knockout to the wall. Upon removal of the first knockout from the wall, a first opening is defined in the wall.

    摘要: An irrigation controller includes a base unit with a removable and programmable control panel and backplane circuitry for communicating with a plurality of removable modules capable of performing a variety of irrigation and non-irrigation functions. A base module having irrigation station drivers is mated with the backplane circuitry and communicates with the base unit to carry out basic irrigation functions. A plurality of expansion modules and one or more smart modules, each having its own logic circuit, can be mated with the backplane circuitry to communicate with the base unit and carry out additional irrigation and non-irrigation functions.
