Galstar
-
State-of-the-Art Medium Field
Irrigation
Compact and containing most of the
features found in Galileo, Galstar is specifically designed for
medium, open-field irrigation. Easy-to-operate, it includes new,
cutting-edge technology for advanced fertigation (EC/PH and more),
as well as multi-communication technologies between controllers and
a PC.
Gal-Star is a medium size controller.
It is capable of controlling two irrigation heads. Its software
includes all the programming features of an irrigation c ontroller
including fertilization according to ECpH. It is designed to be
operated via the wide screen and keyboard but is also capable of
communication with a PC.
The keyboard is designed in a similar fashion to automatic telling
machines (with function keys) and therefore the controller is very
user friendly.
It provides remarkable sophistication in relation to its size.
All of the models are available in AC or DC.
Main Features:
AC Models
• Inputs: 220 /110 Volts AC
• Outputs: 24 Volts AC.
DC Models
• Inputs: 12 Volts DC. (12 Volts 9 Amp*Hr battery). Optional
connection to solar panel.
• Outputs: DC latching.
MiniGal-Star
A non modular controller 16 Outputs, 8 Inputs in a "Small Casing".
Gal-Star and Gal-Star EX
Gal-Star is a modular controller. Its casing contains slots in which
I/O cards can be inserted.
Casing
There are two types of casing:
Small Casing: 5 Slots.
Large Casing: 7 Slots. The large casing has a future preparation
for: Integral L-485, Integral Radio Adapter, Integral ECpH Adapter.
Maximum Outputs/Inputs
The Gal-Star is designed to have a maximum of 32 outputs and 24
inputs. The inputs can be a combination of discrete inputs and
analogs. The maximum configuration can only be achieved with the EX
(large casing) model.
I/O Cards
• 8 * 24 VAC Output Card
• 8 * DC Latching Output Card
• 8 * Discrete (On/Off) Input Card
• 8 * Analog (4-20mA or 0-2V) Card
Capacity
• 2 irrigation heads
• 3 fertilizer pumps per head
• 4 water meters per head
• 4 filters per head
• Up to 32 valves per head
• 64 irrigation programs per head
• 10 fertilizing programs per head
Programming Features
• Irrigation duration according to Time, Volume or
• Automatic calculation of Volume per area.
• Fertilization according to Time, Volume,
• Proportional, and according to ECpH.
• Sequential operation
• Priority operation
• Scheduled operation according to:
• Cycle (1 Min. to 360 Days).
• Daily (Monday - Sunday).
• Conditioned Operation: According to Input or Logic Condition.
• Alarm Settings: including: Overflow and Under flow, Water Pulse
Fault, Uncontrolled Water, Pause Device and more.
• Flow Rate Limit: Automatic mechanism of program ordering to
prevent exceeding of a flow rate limit.
• Flow Rate Division: The ability to divide the flow rate and
accumulation between valves which are simultaneously irrigating with
the same water meter or the same fertilizer program. The division is
made according to the nominal flow rates set for the valves.
Accumulations
Accumulation of Water, Time and Fertilizers independently for each
valve even when working with the same water meter.
PC Connections
The controller has an RS232 port to connect to a PC. The PC
connection may be used for:
• Remote Control Operation.
• Data acquisition.
• Graphical presentation.
• Controller Network Operation.
• Cellular (GPRS) connection. |
