MACQU CLIMATE SYSTEM

(MACQU-C)

Macqu climate machine is a simple and compact construction compiled from simple electronic and electrical parts. All parts are resistant to adverse plants or animal housing conditions. All MACQU modeling and control tools described below can be easily used for both plant or animal environment management and irrigation/fertigation systems (central management of  irrigation networks or public city parks.

Macqu cost permits its use in all types of greenhouses. It is using a micro-controller, which executes the programs continuously and autonomously with zero downtimes. Once configured on the site the user can alter his management parameters through the office PC program or using knobs on the machine. In addition through the PC the user can inspect the current conditions in the greenhouse (displays). The PC can be connected to the user’s house or to the Internet. After the initial setup of the system the PC is no longer necessary for the operation of the system. Macqu-Climate cooperates with Macqu-Hydroponics, in order to provide integrated greenhouse management.

MACQU-Climate Characteristics

Macqu system is equipped with fixed control programs that corporate the latest technologies in greenhouse control. These programs involve:

Capabilities

Capability for extension

Apart from the fixed control programs MACQU-C gives the opportunity to every user to create his own control programs, adapted to the special needs of each crop. It is an open system in order to give the opportunity for the easy realization of other control algorithms or for the use of devices that are not expected.

User Friendly

The system is characterized by its capability for extension, its flexibility and its user friendliness. The communication of the user with the system is done through simple dialogs that guide him to the definition of the set points. In case of wrong choices the system reacts and advises the user.

Diagnostics

MACQU has the capability to come up with conclusions and to give advise to the user. In special occasions a special alarm is activated (the system is equipped with different alarms).

MACQU Innovations

  1. Capability to create auto adjusted models in order to operate autonomously and with precision.

  2. Special Electronic Leaf Sensor for fog operation with extreme precision for nursery chambers.

  3. Special Energy Saving program based on the integration of temperature and calculation of the product of heat and time.

  4. Special program that operates different heating subsystems in order to achieve better distribution of temperature and energy saving.

  5. Special program for additional lighting.
