Version 2.0.15 — lighting automation and Safety

Gros.farm has prepared lighting automation for greenhouses and facilities with fully artificial lighting. It helps maintain the photoperiod, compensate for insufficient natural light, and account for daily radiation.

It includes:

• lighting operation based on schedules and photoperiod;
• daytime PPFD conditions;
• daytime conditions based on current irradiance in W/m²;
• supplemental-lighting calculation based on radiation sum in J/cm²;
• a mandatory Safety schedule for the local control node.

The user selects the primary data source, specifies facility and equipment parameters, configures the required mode, and adds Safety. If communication with Gros.farm is lost, the local node completes the transferred operating plan and switches to the backup schedule.
