IntroductionThe document introduces the 'My MultiMa' module for the HortiMaX MultiMa system, designed to enhance flexibility and customization in controlled environment agriculture. This module allows users to create custom controls without external assistance, optimizing crop production.
Key Features- My Influences: Users can define custom influences to adjust settings like ventilation based on factors such as sunlight and humidity. This feature allows for automatic adjustments to pre-programmed settings based on ambient conditions.
- My Variables: This feature enables the creation of custom readouts for specific needs, such as examining correlations or combining data. Users can define variables using formulas, statistical methods, or a combination of both.
Custom Strategy ImplementationRidder setpoint graphs allow users to set varying values throughout the day using time-based graphs. Custom influences can be applied to these setpoints, enhancing control strategy flexibility.
Examples- Example 1: Create a readout to assess irrigation sufficiency by comparing radiation received to water applied.
- Example 2: Calculate the difference between measured and calculated ventilation temperatures, displaying averages in tables or graphs.
- Example 3: Adjust fan speed based on humidity level discrepancies within the greenhouse.
- Example 4: Increase heating setpoint under adverse weather conditions, defined as 25°F with strong east winds.
ConclusionThe 'My MultiMa' module provides significant customization capabilities, allowing users to tailor the HortiMaX MultiMa system to specific agricultural needs, thereby improving crop management and production outcomes.
