2.3 Functional description / Decoder with Feedback
Greenkeeper Win supports the bidirectional decoders (PD/F ‐ 1). Of course the standard decoders
from Greenkeeper Win can also be used with Greenkeeper FB. But if you want to use the new
features it is necessary to install the bidirectional decoders. It’s possible to mix both kinds of
decoders in one system, too.
2.3.1 What means bidirectional decoder?
The bidirectional decoder PD/F ‐ 1 sends its status information back to the VCU. This information will
be processed by the software. VCU and decoder are in permanent communication. All bidirectional
decoders will be periodically interrogated.
Due to the use of the new decoders, in combination with Greenkeeper Win, a check of the decoder,
solenoids, electrical valves and the pump relays is feasible. This makes it easy to check all important
parts of your system permanently. The user gets quick and specific information. At an early stage
problems can be identified and be logged in a report. Depending’s on the settings of the software
the system can be automatically switched off and sending additionally a message by telephone.
The status information of the bidirectional decoders will be periodically integrated. Depending on
this status information (combination) the VCU reacts according to the software settings.
