Maximum Flexibility: allows distribution of the parcels in a
larger number of plots and turns, which can be easily
matched with soil and crops characteristics
Increase Productivity: will achieve maximum uniformity of
water and fertilizer distribution, which results in better and
more equal yields
Savings in operation: reduce the water and other supplies
consumption It is also possible to reduce the travel of the
tractors, making the grouping of irrigation turns in response
to the geography of the land
Time Saving and avoid manual work: permitto program the
irrigation frequency and characteristics and then be executed
by the system
Scalable Solutions: permit to work with different sizes of
irrigation systems in a modular way, allowing reuse code and
finding the right equipment for your need
Additionally it is possible to monitor the conditions of each
system component and to maintain the normal operation and service
The components of an automated irrigation system are commonly:
Automatic Irrigation Systems appears from the need to
optimize the use of water and other resources on agricultural
crops
Using automatic devices ensures that plantations receive the
necessary amounts of water and nutrients at the right time
and according to climatic and geographical conditions
There are a number of alternatives for Rockwell Automation
to control these irrigation systems From simple architectures based on Micro800 or MicroLogix until CompactLogix,based ones, depending on the complexity of the system design (signal number, irrigation turns, type of pump start)
The Logix Control Platform from Rockwell is the basis for developing a control, display, information and communica-tion robust system The design and delivery process is more efficient and lower cost Unlike conventional control architec-tures, offering fully integrated solutions, using a single scalable control platform and a single development environ-ment, you have different options for communication, and allow optimal reusing engineering designs and coding

Modular Programming and Reusable
For this specific application we offer available
pre-configured modules for management of:
With modular programming we refer to a number of conventions
and best practices on industry standards, followed in developing
code that will allow us to make changes to the irrigation control
system functionality without rewriting the code
Among these we have the choice of tags, implementation of
state models, predefined HMI screens, etc
Pressure Sensors
Pressures: performs reception and analog signal processing
(scaling, alarma levels, etc.) It is used in all the pressure
measurements, either for irrigation, pumping and condition
monitoring
Pressure Control: Performs PID
pressure control loops in the
system, allowing easy change
of parameters, benchmarks and
alarm mode
Turns: allows automatic handling of the irrigation It is able to
control the start and stop of the pumping equipment according
to the schedule entered by the operator and monitoring
conditions
Rockwell Automation has used 836E sensors for this technical alternative, whose main characteristics are:
The pressure measurement is an important factor for the normal operation of these systems The pressure control ensures the proper functioning of the pumping equipment (including auxiliary systems, cleaning and lubrication), as the precise distribution of water and fertilizer dosage
Operating pressures ranges: from -15 to 6000 psi (gauge) Outputs: Independently programmable dual PNP NO/NC
outputs or 4 20 mA analog output with single PNP NO/NC
Housing: Rugged, corrosion-resistant 316LStainless steel
housing with IP66 rating
enclosure
Optional Display: Four-digit 14-segment digital display SensingElement: 316L Stainless steel
Selectable units of measurement:
kPa, psi, bar, or %
