Xilema Fertigation Print E-mail
 

 

Xilema is an automatic equipment for injecting fertilizers into the watering system that provides greater control over your operation.
  • Xilema is a leader in controlled fertigation in high-performance farming both in greenhouses and outdoors.
  • Xilema controls fertigation in different areas of the world: Europe, Latin America, North Africa and in Asia. At the present time, it continues to expand its services on the five continents.

 

 

XILEMA is developing daily

 

- Extended benefits with the installation of a new software that makes handling the equipment easier and also enhances its features. - Offering solutions for all requirements in terms of the different crop types and their development phases, achieving:
  • Saving in manpower.
  • Provision of nutrients in a balanced and uniform manner.
  • Improvement in the quantity and quality of the harvests.
- Designing a tailored system, because it adapts to any flow, farm size, existing watering head and crop type. - Adjusts to the number of outlets or sectors.

- Permanently developing and perfecting its equipment through the Research and Development Department (R&D).

EQUIPMENT COMMUNICATION MODES:

 

Each Xilema unit can communicate with a laptop computer using the Windows operating system. The different communication modes are:  RS 232 (point to point service). It uses a serial port of the computer and is connected to an NX 300 programmer.

It allows a wired connection of up to a distance of 20 metres.  RS 485 (serial multipoint, daisy chain). It establishes a direct communication between the computer and one or several NX 300 programmers, creating a network of up to 16 units. They allow the connection of units located at a distance of more than 1 km. Radio, Wifi or modem. With direct line of sight it is possible to reach a distance of almost 1 km.

Ethernet system offering high-speed communication.

Recommended up to 100 metres.
