Steueranlage 5-3-1, 5 Pumpen, 3 Sensoren + Steuersoftware

Combinations of commercially available technology in the field of industrial chemistry and plant construction are used which, combined and controlled by computers, ensure the control of the plants.

 

In addition, we offer optimised plant operation through analysis technology and simultaneous plant growth control. This requires modern analysis technology and knowledge of the biology of the plants used as well as constant control of the growth progress depending on the amount of nutrients introduced, the water temperature, the oxygen content, etc.

 

Training and instruction in the handling of the system and its control software complete the range of services. Due to the large number of variables involved, hydroponics, in contrast to aquaponics, is still a research-intensive field.

The real-time recording and logging of the system and all control values takes place in licence-free databases that also allow visualisation.

This is a screenshot of the control centre of a type 2 plant, showing the current situation regarding nutrient consumption, the EC value of the nutrient solution, the pH value of the nutrient solution and the consumption of all nutrients. Also displayed is the consumption of acid and base to keep the pH value of the nutrient in the correct range. All limit and range values can be set individually. Likewise, all nutrient additions as well as acid and base can be controlled manually in real time on this screen.

An extension allows the automatic replacement of the entire nutrient solution by two electrically controlled valves that supply the system with a new nutrient batch cyclically or on demand. This complete nutrient re-supply also allows the changeover from growth to flowering or fruiting during operation, which can only be ensured by assessing the entire planting. 

The configuration of the status page can be designed as desired. This is the default setting we have set up for you.
