Phytech irrigation control system

Introduzzjoni

Phytech irrigation system (smart) controls pumps and hydraulic valves in the agricultural industry. Farmers can control the irrigation system remotely from a cellphone or office computer.

Komponenti tas-Sistema

2.1 Komponenti Ewlenin

• Gateway (GW) Automation controller, the controller has 2 parts:
• The communication control unit (CCU)- CCU controls the radio and cellular communication of the GW and is hard-wired to the CBU.

Figure 1 CCU unit

• Control box unit (CBU) – CBU controls pump operation and can directly collect data from the sensor’s pump area.

Figure 2 CBU unit

• Valve control unit (VCU) – VCU controls the operation of valves in the fields, the VCU communicates with the GW through UF radio.

Figure 3 VCU

1.1 Materjali addizzjonali

1. Metal pole – 4-6 m
2. PVC 1” riser , 1m length
3. 18 V solar panel
4. Batterija rikarikabbli ta '12 V
5. Provvista ta 'enerġija DC 12V 2A

Installazzjoni
Nota: High-current electrical installation shall be done only by certified personnel
2.2 GW HW installation

• Thread the cable through the PVC pipe
• Connect the PVC pipe to the CCU.
• Mount PVC pipe to long metal pole
• Mount CCU on pole
• Mount CBU on metal pole
• Mount solar panel (optional) on pole 2-3 m above ground level, facing south.

2.3 CCU-CBU wiring and power
2.3.1 CCU-CBU wiring
Connect the wires from the CCU to the CBU according to Figure 1 port index J12

2.3.2 Wiring tal-enerġija
Connect solar panel/ DC power cable to J1 board connector accordingly (Figure 2)

2.3.3 Back up battery connection
Connect Back up battery to J3 (Figure 3)

2.3.4 Basic system tests

• Press the system reset button
• Wait for all 3 LED’s on the CBU board of the “ CCU status” to turn on (Figure 4)

Check the phytech App for additional CBU parameter information
The gateway is now connected to the Phytech network and is available for pairing remote VCU’s (for installation of VCU refer to section 4)
2.4 Pump and Sensor wiring
2.4.1 Pump control wiring
Connect the control pump relay to the J9 port up to 2 pumps (Figure 5).

2.4.2 Dry contact input
Connect dry contact for pump status to port J7 (Figure 6).

2.4.3 Mainline solenoid
The main line solenoid is to be connected to J14 according to Figure 7.
Solenoid specification: Latch/ pulse solenoid 9-12 V range.

2.4.4 Analogue sensors wiring
Analog 4-20 mA sensors can be ired to ports J4 ,J5,J6,J15 and J16 according to Figure 8

2.4.5 Pulse counter input
Flowmeter with a pulse output can be wired to J8 port up to 2 probes.
For the flowmeter without power connect according to Figure 9

Flowmeters that require 12V Power can be connected according to Figure 10

VCU installation

Phytech VCU should be installed after the Phytech GWA has been already installed in the field.

1. Mount phytech VCU near the field valve
2. Connect the built in solenoid to the field valve,
3. Turn on the VCU
4. Red blinking – searching for Phytech Gateway
5. Red light constant – connected to phytech Gateway

Dikjarazzjonijiet tal-FCC

Dan l-apparat jikkonforma mal-Parti 15 tar-Regoli tal-FCC. It-tħaddim huwa soġġett għaż-żewġ kundizzjonijiet li ġejjin:
(1) Dan l-apparat ma jistax jikkawża interferenza ta 'ħsara, u (2) Dan l-apparat għandu jaċċetta kwalunkwe interferenza riċevuta, inkluża interferenza li tista' tikkawża tħaddim mhux mixtieq.
Bidliet jew modifiki mhux approvati espressament mill-parti responsabbli għall-konformità jistgħu jħassru l-awtorità tal-utent biex iħaddem dan it-tagħmir.
Nota: Dan it-tagħmir ġie ttestjat u nstab li jikkonforma mal-limiti għal apparat diġitali tal-Klassi B, skont il-parti 15 tar-Regoli tal-FCC. Dawn il-limiti huma mfassla biex jipprovdu protezzjoni raġonevoli kontra interferenza dannuża f'installazzjoni residenzjali. Dan it-tagħmir jiġġenera, juża u jista 'jirradja enerġija ta' frekwenza tar-radju u, jekk mhux installat u użat skont l-istruzzjonijiet, jista 'jikkawża interferenza ta' ħsara għall-komunikazzjonijiet bir-radju. Madankollu, m'hemm l-ebda garanzija li l-interferenza ma sseħħx f'installazzjoni partikolari. Jekk dan it-tagħmir jikkawża interferenza ta' ħsara għar-riċezzjoni tar-radju jew tat-televiżjoni, li tista' tiġi determinata billi jintefa u jinxtegħel it-tagħmir, l-utent huwa mħeġġeġ jipprova jikkoreġi l-interferenza b'waħda jew aktar mill-miżuri li ġejjin:
— Orjenta mill-ġdid jew iċċaqlaq l-antenna li tirċievi.
— Żid is-separazzjoni bejn it-tagħmir u r-riċevitur.
— Qabbad it-tagħmir fi żbokk fuq ċirkwit differenti minn dak li miegħu huwa konness ir-riċevitur.
— Ikkonsulta lin-negozjant jew tekniku b'esperjenza tar-radju/TV għall-għajnuna.
TWISSIJA – KONFORMITÀ TA' ESPOŻIZZJONI RF: Dan it-tagħmir għandu jiġi installat u mħaddem b'distanza minima ta' 20cm
bejn ir-radjatur u ġismek.
-Dan l-apparat diġitali tal-Klassi B jikkonforma mal-ICES-003 Kanadiż.
-Cet appareil numerique de la classe B est conforme a la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
♦ IC Statements
Dan l-apparat fih trasmettitur(i)/riċevitur(i) eżentati mil-liċenzja li jikkonformaw mal-Innovazzjoni, ix-Xjenza u l-Iżvilupp Ekonomiku
RSS(s) eżenti mil-liċenzja tal-Kanada. It-tħaddim huwa soġġett għaż-żewġ kundizzjonijiet li ġejjin:

1. Dan l-apparat ma jistax jikkawża interferenza.
2. Dan l-apparat għandu jaċċetta kwalunkwe interferenza, inkluża interferenza li tista' tikkawża tħaddim mhux mixtieq tal-apparat.
