Bambach – TensioController
TensioController
An application-dependent module system for any combination of sensors and valves, with pump activation/control, irrigation start according to sensor and timing, irrigation duration according to time and flow rate, alarms issued at limit values, operate via touch screen and/or remote maintenance via PC or smartphone.
Designs:
Base unit (CPU) + sensor or extension modules in compact housing (small unit) or in corresponding electrical cabinet (various versions) in rail/terminal mounting for cable connections; 24 VDC operations, mains supply.
Configurations:
Multiple combinations, practical small unit: Base unit (CPU) with 8 outputs +
1 module with 6 sensor inputs (partial assignment is also possible).
Largest unit: Base unit +14 modules with 120 valve outputs and 48 analogue sensors + additional connections (pump controls, etc.).
Usage:
Device can be operated using a touch screen, standard size 4.3" (11 cm) or recommended size 7" (18 cm), that is in the housing cover.
The easiest remote control method is using a VNC viewer (PC or smartphone) for internet access to the router to which the TensioController is connected (Ethernet). The screen contains the display and operating software. The screen server enables it to be shared remotely.
Control variables:
Irrigation can be controlled according to the time, soil moisture and irradiation, either individually or in combination, depending on the particular sensor configuration.
Tensiometers with E-sensors or volume sensors can be used as the sensors for soil moisture.
Software:
Groups of sensors and valves in 16 sectors, with from 1 to 3 sensors each + max. 8 valves + pump control, in any configuration. When there are several sensors per sector, the measured value is averaged. Valves and sectors can be operated in serially or in parallel. The irrigation runs according to sensor set-point + time and pause settings.
Display with irrigation history, active valve and current measured values. Special task: thermostat-controlled blow-out for pipes during winter irrigation; also suitable for preventing blockages during drip irrigation.
Monitoring:
Limit values for the humidity and pressure for controlling pumps, and for local alarms (individual signal transmitters) or via remote e-mail alarms. Monitoring the irrigation results using measured value monitoring with hysteresis and time settings.
Logging of measured values, irrigation or alarm dates enables extended monitoring functionality; log file can be saved to USB flash drive at the rear of the screen.
