Link4 Corporation

The most advanced of the 1000 series, the iGrow 1600 includes all the features of the iGrow 1400 plus additional capabilities such as:

• Advanced predictive  heating and cooling control (reduces operating costs)
• EC and pH sensing and control
• Hot and cold water mixing valve system control
• Flexible analog output control
• Pulse width modulation control
• Vent position sensing.
• Advanced conditional controls

Flexibility
Amazing levels of flexibility are designed into this compact and powerful product.  The iGrow 1600 interfaces with virtually every type of equipment and sensor used in today’s modern greenhouse.  Built in control algorithms include a variety of options so that the iGrow 1600 can be tuned to satisfy the unique conditions in the particular greenhouse zone.  Custom over-rides and other algorithm variations can be accomplished with the conditional control features.

Expandability
The iGrow 1600 can be expanded within a zone with up to three additional units yielding a total of 48 outputs and many digital and analog inputs.  In addition, each unit can accommodate up to five “micro” zones for applications such as bottom heat, seed storage, head house or other simpler greenhouse compartments.

Networking
Besides expanding the number of iGrow’s in a zone, the iGrow 1600’s can be networked to support up to 64 major growing zones.   Each zone is autonomous however; data such as the weather station and other common zone information will be transmitted via the network cable to each of the controllers in the system.

Host Computer
The iControl host software is a breeze to install and makes controlling your greenhouse easier than ever.  iControl gives you the flexibility to program all of your iGrows’ from the computer. However, you can program each iGrow 1600 locally, if you like.  Any updates to the program will be automatically uploaded to the host computer, and vice versa.  Included is powerful graphing and unlimited history storage.  It keeps track of every sensor’s data and each piece of equipment as to when it goes on and off or to what percentage on. 

Backups and Alarms
Multiple alarm outputs, safety backup sensors, and alarm auto-dialers are accommodated by the iGrow 1600 for added protection and peace of mine.
