OFFSITE IRRIGATION CONTROLLER |
摘要 |
A center pivot irrigation system including a framework, a fluid conduit supported by the framework, a plurality of fluid-emitting nozzles associated with the fluid conduit, and a central control panel. Further, the irrigation system has an offsite irrigation controller, including a fluid-pressure sensor for sensing the fluid pressure inside the fluid conduit and a digital compass for monitoring the orientation of the irrigation system as it rotates about the center pivot axis. The offsite irrigation controller also includes a remote transmitter for communicating to an offsite receiver and an electrical processing circuit coupled with the fluid-pressure sensor, the digital compass, and the remote transmitter. The electrical processing circuit receives an output signal from each of the fluid-pressure sensor and the digital compass, and controls the remote transmitter to transmit the operational status of the irrigation system to an offsite user. |

1. An irrigation system, comprising:
a framework rotatable about a center pivot axis; a fluid conduit supported by said framework; a plurality of fluid-emitting nozzles associated with said fluid conduit; a central control panel; and an offsite irrigation controller, including:
a fluid-pressure sensor for sensing a fluid pressure inside the fluid conduit;a digital compass for monitoring an orientation of the irrigation system as it rotates about said center pivot axis;a remote transmitter for communicating to an offsite receiver; andan electrical processing circuit coupled with said fluid-pressure sensor, said digital compass, and said remote transmitter, said electrical processing circuit receiving an output signal from each of the fluid-pressure sensor and the digital compass, and controlling the remote transmitter to transmit an operational status of the irrigation system to an offsite user, dependent upon the received signals. |
