DETERMINING FACTORS
There are 4 determining factors which can affect
every one of the irrigation programs (“programs de-
termining factors” option) and they can run in the fol-
lowing ways:
Start the irrigation by solar energy, humidity, soil
moisture, temperature, etc.
Stop the irrigation by wind, temperature, etc.
Modify the irrigation units by radiation, rain, Eto, ...
Modify
the
fertilization
units
by
radiation,
rain,
Eto,
...
These determining factors help adapt fertigation
immediately to climatic variations experienced by
crops.
MANUAL CONTROL
With
manual
control,
you
can start, stop and
leave
out
of
service
irrigation
programs;
out
of
service
or gen-
eral
Stop;
start
or
stop
the
filter cleaning; end of
alarms
and malfunctions; direct activation of the outputs.
READINGS
It can have the following records which are al-
ways updated:
Sector totals and a general one to show the irri-
gation units in time and volume plus the calculated
flow and the applied units of every fertilizer.
Anomalies which have taken place during a pe-
riod of several weeks, such as a power cut, flow cut,
filter cleaning, fertilizer without control, irrigation or
fertilizer meters, too much fertilizer, proportional fer-
tilization, lack of communication with external mod-
ules, due to sensors of general malfunction, defini-
tive, temporary or conditional stop, intrusion alarm,
pH and EC sensors, error in memory, start and pres-
sure in diesel engine, etc. All of them go with the day
and time when they took place and the most relevant
data in relation to the type of anomaly.
New anomalies: with this record, the anomalies
that have taken place since the last visualization are
displayed.
History of the last days, from 20 to 50, where
the starts of every program, the filter cleanings that
have taken place, the integration of the solar radia-
tion and the room temperature, the rain accumulated
that day and the evapotranspiration are showed. It
will also show, for every sector, the irrigating units
which have been carried out in time and volume, the
average of EC and pH applied and the fertilizer units.
When there is a connection to a PC, the average of
the readings of every 10 minutes, of every one of the
10 last days will be recorded from the first 14 sen-
sors, and the readings of all the active life of the unit
can be stored.
Sensors: with the instantaneous value of the dif-
ferent sensors connected to extensions, external
modules or MicroIsis connected to the Agrónic 4000.
Working record: stores the day and time of
every working the equipment undertakes, able to
hold more than 70 different records, each able to be
configured as an anomaly that can in turn generate
an alarm or SMS message. The register has a ca-
pacity of several weeks. The A-4000 only displays
anomalies, with the remaining activities being dis-
played on the connected PC.
Communication: the communication status with
External Modules and the PC.
ALARMS
There are three alarm outputs, each one able to
link events or workings.
Alarm sensor for intruder detection.
DIGITAL AND ANALOG INPUTS
It has 12 digital inputs (expandable) to operate
with 48 digital functions as temporary / conditional /
definitive stop, irrigation/ fertilizer impulses meter,
general malfunction, intrusion alarm, rain gauge, start
of irrigation programs, diesel oil pressure gauge or
engine stop.
Up to 40 sensors (analog inputs) can be con-
nected to extensions, external modules or SMS, to do
the instantaneous reading, to condition irrigation /
fertilization of different sectors, and make a record in
history of the first 14 sensors.
VISUALIZATION
Lightened screen of 2 lines of 40 characters, with
internal contrast adjustment. Membrane keyboard with
23 keys and pulsing acoustic warning device. “STOP”
key.
It includes languages Spanish, French, English,
Italian, Portuguese and Catalan.
MANAGEMENT THROUGH A PC
Agrónic PC is a software for Windows which lets
you manage the controllers Agrónic 4000, 2500, Bit
and 2000 from a PC, in a comfortable and easy way.
This software makes use of all the advantages of-
fered by the Windows environment in order to enter
parameters and programs intuitively, to modify these,
work in real time, as well as to consult anomalies,
totals, working record and what the Agrónic 4000 is
doing at any given moment.
The software can communicate with one or more
Agrónic. This way, irrigation that is taking place at any
moment can be controlled from the office or from
home and the programming can be changed or any
necessary operation carried out. In GPRS, the com-
munication is continuous and simultaneous with sev-
eral Agrónics. Each Agrónic manages the communica-
tion to three different Agrónic PC programs, for exam-
ple owner, farm manager and installer.
The main characteristics of the software Agrónic
PC are:
Connecting multiple controllers to a single pro-
gram by cable (USB, RS232, RS485 or Ethernet), by
telephone (modem, GSM, GPRS), or by radio (radio
modem, Wi-Fi or Wimax).
All the operations which can be made from the
Agrónic are carried out from the software.
