Controller
Hardware and Accessories Setup and Utility
Outputs and discrete inputs setup .6
Long before purchasing your Galileo controller, you sat down with one of our representatives
and designed your project. You decided which components will ultimately be operated by the
controller, and calculated which input items are required in order to obtain the most accurate
functionality. In actuality,
you have designed your project and decided what controller and
what I/O modules to buy in order to meet your needs.
The control system will be the last part to be installed in the project. Everything else will be in
place when you install the controller: valves, pumps, and all greenhouse components connected
to an electric board. Whoever connects these components to the controller’s outputs, whether it
is you or an authorized technician, will naturally follow a certain sequence. The exact sequence
will be left up to you (you should consult your technician). A typical example:
The project is a
½
hectare greenhouse.
Irrigation components:
Main pump
4 irrigation valves
Main valve
4 fertilizer injectors
Main fertilizer valve
Total irrigation outputs: 11
Climate components:
4 side windows (8 outputs)
One roof window (2 outputs)
Shading/Thermal screen (2 outputs)
4 fan groups
Heating device_________
Total climate outputs: 17
General components:
Alarm device
Total project: 29 outputs.
A project like this requires
Galileo 2000/W + one
card with 24 outputs. This
controller provides 40
outputs. We recommend
dividing them into irrigation
and climate segments,
leaving some spare for future use in both segments. This of course, is just a recommendation.
Your controller will perform at whatever settings you decide upon.
This chapter is about “teaching” the controller how to carry out the program’s commands. We
have created an internal connection table between the components (application’s property)
and the real physical outputs (Controller’s property). The process is slightly different for
each project (i.e. Greenhouse, Open Field, Etc.) although the principle is the same.

(Possible future Greenhouse B may use the same
controller, but will require an additional card)
