Greenhouse 2 irrigation pumps is having some issues. They are only coming on for 2 minutes instead of 5 minutes. On the microclimates its showing the pumps is irrigating for 5 minutes when they only coming on for 2 minutes. Greenhouse 2 water sensors isn’t reading correctly on microclimates.
Hi Rohan, it’s good to hear from you!
The data tells a pretty compelling story, consistent with what you’re seeing. The controller says that the relays in GH-2 (both A&B) are on for 5 minutes, but those new water flow sensors and energy sensors tell a different story. They both say that the water flow and energy consumption are about 1/2 the amount of GH-1, even though the relays (say) they were on for the same amount of time.
To see if it’s a software or hardware issue, next time the pumps on GH1 are on and the pumps in GH2 are off (but should be on), check the lights on the relay box. If the lights are on for those pumps, but the pumps aren’t on, that points us to a hardware problem. If the lights are off, but the card thinks they’re on, that points to a configuration problem.
Either way, let us know what you’re seeing with those lights, and we can help with the next steps.
Issue 2: Can you describe what you mean by incorrect? That could mean anything from an offset calibration to a power failure, and many things in-between. If it helps taking a picture, you can upload here.
Good morning Loren! It was a hardware issue on the 8-port hub. We change it and everything is working great.
Good to know. Thank you!
