Irrigation techniques are improving day by day over last

few years. One of the major advancement in this technique

is Automatic Drip Irrigation System. One can control the

irrigation valves, pump, fertilizer injectors automatically

using this system.

Wht i atti Irrigti st ?

Automation of an irrigation system refers to operation

of the system with no or minimum manual intervention.

The introduction of automation in to irrigation system has

increased application efficiency and drastically reduced

labour requirement.

Hw d it it t ?

• Conservation of water, labour and energy - No

need for manual operation to open or close valves,

especially in intensive irrigation process.

• Flexibility - Possibility to change frequencyof the

irrigation and fertilization processes and also tooptimise these processes.

• Precisionandeaseinoperation-Precisioninproviding

water fertilizers proportions, usually the operator is

busy with other tasks and therefore misses his time

schedule.

• Adoption of advanced crop systems and new

technologies, especially new crops systems that are

complexanddifficulttooperatemanually.

• Use of water from different sources and increased

efficiency of water and fertilizer use.

• Systemcanbeoperatedatnight,thusallthedaytime

can be utilized for other agricultural practices.

Tp attic Irrigti st

We can automise your irrigation system in three different

ways.

a) Ti d t: In time based irrigation system,

time is the basis of irrigation. Each valve opens up at its

specified time and closes at the end of time duration.

Time of operation is calculated according to volume

of water required and the average flow rate of water.

In time based system solenoid valves along with the

controller are required.

b) V d t: In volume based system, thepreset amount of water can be applied in the field

by means of automatic volume controlled metering

valves. Automatic metering valve is used along with the

controller. It can also be used in sequential arrangements

without using controllers, in which after delivering preset

volume of water first valve automatically closes & opens

thenextvalveorotherwiseshutsoffthepump.

C) R ti d c t: This is actually a sensor

based irrigation system. Various sensors viz. Tensiometer,

Soil Moisture Sensors, Relative Humidity Sensors, Rain

Sensors, etc. controls your irrigation systems operation.

These sensor provides feed back to the controller and

accordingly controller takes decision.

System. It takes just a few key strokes to schedule

irrigation or check its status, thus enabling anyone to

fine tune the irrigation to seasonal or field variations.

The controller is programmed to run various zones of

an area for their required duration or required volume. In

some cases sensors are used with it which gives feed

back to the controller to control the irrigation.

b) Ctr Vv:

Smooth operating, sturdy control valves is the main feature

of automatic irrigation system. These control valves can

be hydraulically operated or electrically operated (solenoid)

according to your choice.

Hydruliclly oprtd Vlv: These valves operated on

hydraulic pressure provided through control tubes and

solenoid coils mounted at central point on the main line.

elctriclly oprtd Vlv: In these valves solenoid coil

is mounted on the valve itself and electrical wires are to

be run through the fields up to the controller. These Valves

aregenerallyoperatedon12VDCor24VAC.

Automation

Manual operation of various systems in the Greenhousesuch as cooling, irrigation, misting, heating, shadnet,

ventilation, light, etc is highly cumbersome and inefficient.

It requires lot of attention and care. Also it is difficult to

maintain desired environment inside the Greenhouse.

Ultimately this may result in lower crop production, non-

uniform growth and poor quality. Jain Irrigation can provide

complete automised solution to overcome these problems

and to maximize the returns. Automation provides a faster

and precise operation in the Greenhouse. Also it stores,

displays and prints the information or feedback as needed.

Jain Irrigation is the distributor of Galcon (Israel) and

Hunter (USA) for their automation systems.

You can automate the following operations in yourfield:

• Operation of irrigation & misting system.

• Application of fertilizers.

• Operation of cooling pad and fans

• Operation of heating system.

• Operation of Shading /Aluminum Thermal Net System.

• Operation of ventilation, Side curtains.

• Operation of PAR light System.

• Alarm system during mal functioning.

JAIN


Expansion

Additional box with 4 slots for additional I/O cards.

Cellular Remote Control

With this unique system you actually see your controller onthe display of your cellular phone. It appears in the same

way with the same menus as on the display of the real

controller and enables full control over the controller. This

technology is made possible by surfing the WAP (Internet

for cellular phone) network and making the PC connected

to the controller a WAP server.

Remote Terminal Units Cable RTU (CRTU)

In a conventional method, an electric wire is extended

from each output or input to every solenoid in the field.

The CRTU are installed along a single - 3 wired cable

(Max. 128 outputs per cable). Thus, in big fields, the total

investment in cables is drastically reduced. There are 2basic models of CRTU:

• CRTU2- 2 Outputs -12VDC Latching; 4 Inputs -

On/Off.

• CRTU4 - 4 Outputs - 12V/DC Latching; 8 Inputs -

On/Off.

• 4 Analogs - 4-20 mA. / 0-10 V.

Each unit is assigned a “private” code number using a

dipswitch.

A single cable can be extended to a distance of at least 5

Km. from the controller.

Radio RTU (RRTU)

The RRTU receives a radio signal from the controller; and

performs opening or closing operations accordingly. Each

unit consists of the following components:

• A radio receiver, that can be adapted to frequencies

approved for use in most countries

• An interface card includes 2 or 4 12VDC latching

outputs.

• A lithium battery, 3.6VDC, which lasts, under field

conditions, up to 2-3 years.

• The unit is enclosed in 100% water proof, epoxy

moulded housing.

• Each unit is loaded with its own “private” code numberusing a portable terminal.

Communication Ports

• 1 port RS-232 outputs for - communication with a

remote PC.

• 1 port RS-485 outputs for communication withexpansion unit, EC/pH monitor or RRTU systems.

Central Computer (PC)

The Galileo Controller can be connected to a central

computer, which can communicate with a network of

controllers (up to 256 units - each of the Galileo’s models

can be a unit of the network). There are several advantages

in using a central computer:

Remote Control

A very large area with many controllers can be fully con -

trolled from a single central location.

Graphical Presentation

• The controlled area can be drawn according to the

geographic location.

• It is possible to set a background such as a map of the

area.

• Each element is represented by an icon and changes its

colour or animation according to its status.

Data Collection

• The computer can collect a variety of types of data

such as valve accumulations, water meter flow rates,

irrigation information and much more.

• Many types of reports and graphs can be extracted from

the database. The report can be set for a time range

from a single day to a full year.

Condition Between Controllers

Through the central PC, one controller can cause an action

in another controller on the same network.

Alarms - Any alarm in any of the controllers is transferred

to the central PC. The central PC upon receiving the alarm

issues an SMS message to any cellular phone.

Communication With Central Computer

• Direct connection - by cable up to 20 meters

• Long distance cable - by a special cable modems L-485,

up to 4 Km. enables network of controllers.
