The Argus System
The Argus System is
designed for comprehensive control in a wide range of agricultural, horticultural, and other
protected production system applications. Its extensive features include: sensor
measurement, equipment control, data logging, monitoring, and alarms. Standard
system features include comprehensive
software modules for controlling environment, irrigation, and nutrient management,
as well as many other types of
equipment control.
Each Argus System consists of:
-
a fully integrated
environmental and irrigation control system
-
an advanced data recording
program
-
a sophisticated and highly configurable equipment
monitoring and alarm system
For maximum safety and reliability, Argus
uses dedicated control hardware and software. The PC that is used to access the Argus System does not
control the greenhouse. All control programs and settings are located and run on
dedicated Argus controllers that have been specially built for this purpose.
They provide reliable, real-time operation in dynamic horticultural environments.
Whether your PC is directly connected or operated remotely, dedicated Argus
controllers are constantly monitoring and managing your equipment. In this way, even if your PC is turned off or
breaks down, the controllers continue to do their job. With distributed control,
each controller on the network maintains its own settings and programs, and
keeps working even if there are problems with other components of the system.
