only if your plants start getting sucked into the fan
if someone smells the air you're pumping out and you get busted or robbed, hell yes you can over circulate. there are more important things to have checked off first kids
Well i dont know what kinda plants you got but in my sealed room is dosent take hours for my plants to use up all the available Co2 in the room..... And my system is exact My Co2 censor talks directly to my computer proccesor and it quickly uses up available Co2 in my sealed room....When you say it takes hours for plants to use up the Co2 even when tightly packed in a space i would have to strongley disagree based on my findings and what my Co2 censor suggests...
sure here ya go.....
sure here ya go.....The control system is based on an industrial PLC (programmable logic controller) called momentum. made by Schneider Electric (Modicon for those interested). The unit runs on 24VDC so a power supply is needed. It has 8 discrete inputs and 8 discrete outputs. The analog module has 8 analog inputs and each point is configurable for 0-10 VDC or 4-20mA as required. The outputs have interposing relays as the controllers typically can not handle the currents used in your application. I used one of the software platforms available from Schneider called " proworks". It utilizes a programming style known as LL984 or simply "ladder logic.". It is fairly easy to navigate if you have any industrial programming experience. Novices will find the help files sketchy. This controller, once programmed, is a stand alone system and the unit has a backup battery to retain the program if powered down. It does not have ANY human machine interface. I am using an old home computer as the HMI. It communicates with the PLC via ethernet. The application is generically referred to as SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition). It is a free demo package from Inductive Automation called "Ignition" It is Java based and runs as a webpage. I run it under Firefox. The problem is this demo runs for 2 hours max and then shuts down and must be restarted. Keep in mind that the controller runs continuously without the need of the HMI. The licensed version is pricey ( last I checked it is over 15000.00) yes , really! The programming was tough for me as I had no experience with Java. The program utilizes an SQL database as its backbone. It has almost unlimited potential to build your own graphics or pick from the included library. the trend screens are invaluable for tuning the system and if I used an inexpensive commercially available HMI package, i would have to do without trend analysis. The advantage in using scada is that most computers with 10-100 NIC cards are ready to go with no modification required. You can share this with every one with a request that they please share thier designs with me. I might pick up a few pointers that way.
Ok, so that sounds like a pretty cool, albeit pretty god damn elaborate system that is going to be expensive to set up as you still need all the environmental sensors. So,another route is to buy this thing.. http://www.zorotools.com/g/00029713/k-G0413971?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Google_Shopping_Feed
ya that is very cool toy there....... And yes i had to buy all the external Censors like Co2 censory, 2 temp censors and a humdity censory and yes you are also right in that is wasnt cheap...lolJesus Christ LOL. Someone has some weird interests outside of growing weed
Impossible to answer with information given
I dont know what id change....LOL maybe nothing....Its nice to know i can though if i think of someting to change haha..... This is only the first experament with the control panel like a beta version who knows what we can come up with inthe future.... I can take this setup and apply it to a bigger better one if i so choose.....
