The Components Which Are Being Utilized In Golf Course Irrigation

Irrigation systems now are becoming very much useful since the development of sprinklers. Nowadays, the manufacturers are offering some mixtures of different products in order to minimize the control for irrigation and also in order to irrigate the grounds. The simplest type among the irrigation systems were used mostly in residential houses and these types are consist of controllers that are connected to the valves.

However, due to the maintenance of turf that is of high quality, the complexity of these systems have been increasing. Thus, golf course irrigation systems are said to be more complex to residential uses for some reasons. These include low height for mowing, various requirements for water, and high volume for the irrigated area. The following are the different components of the system and how these are being developed.

First is central control. Because of its complexity and its size as well, the system would act as the network of the controllers. And among these networks, the brain is central control. This is usually located together with maintenance facilities and this has the control of all the golf course sprinklers. This is a software based system that can monitor real time activities, flow management, and weather stations.

Second, field controllers. These can sometimes be referred to as satellites. The location of these are inside the metal boxes which are mounted to concrete footings. A central systems will send the directions into the sub component or the field controller and will also send a message to the sprinkler when turning on or off. The controllers have a connection with sprinklers and a central system does not have.

Third is central control for the satellite communication. When a program has been set already to the computer, the central control will then send directions into the satellites. Computers do not have a direct communication with the satellites but communicates rather through an interface. The interface will interpret and will send the instructions. This component can be accomplished in two ways which are the one way or the two way communication.

Fourth, the weather sensors and stations. An advantage of this component is getting conditions having the exact information instead of some readings that came from a regional weather service. The data collections of weather stations are consist of soil moisture, wind speed, humidity, and rainfall.

Evapotranspiration is one process for the total loss of the amount of water because of transpiration and of evaporation. The level is usually high specifically during hot, low humidity, or sunny seasons and low if the season is cool, high humidity, or cloudy. Irrigation process replace soil moisture during evapotranspiration.

How sensor decoders are used is the same as how these are used in valves. The sensors of soil moisture and temperature can be connected to these. In this way, the data will be downloaded into the central system.

And fifth is the storm protection. It is also important for storm protection to be provided. One very common form of damage for the irrigation system is the power surge that if this will happen, may result to lightning strikes. Lightning may cause an electrical surge, running through the wires and can damage the sprinklers and other equipment. The systems for lightning protection are installed to the electrical components of systems.
