The Agrowtek GrowControl™ MX1i is a rugged, intelligent reversing motor controller designed for reliable forward/reverse operation of greenhouse and environmental automation equipment.
Ideal for controlling ridge vents, roll-up sidewalls, curtains, shade systems, and other reversible motors, the MX1i provides dependable motor operation with built-in digital intelligence, manual override, and position tracking.
Intelligent Motor Control
The MX1i's internal microprocessor tracks motor position movements, including movements made using the manual override control. Front-panel LED indicators provide clear visual status of relay operation.
An electrically interlocked relay design prevents the motor from being energized in both forward and reverse directions simultaneously, helping protect connected motors and equipment.
Open Integration with Modbus
The integrated GrowNET™ port supports Modbus RTU communication, allowing the MX1i to be incorporated into PLCs and environmental automation platforms, including EnvOS®.
The internal digital controller can operate relays through Modbus commands while maintaining useful operational information such as relay contact counts, device status, serial number, and manufacturing information.
