Irrigation System Peripheral Communications Using Valve Control Wires

US Patent:
6938834, Sep 6, 2005
Filed:
Feb 26, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/083286
Inventors:
Steven Lee Harris - Logan UT, US
International Classification:
B05B017/04
US Classification:
239 63, 239 67, 239200, 239569, 239575
Abstract:
An irrigation system controller communicates with peripheral sensors using control valve wires as the medium over which to send and receive electronic signals. Various types of sensors such as soil moisture, temperature, etc. , can be interfaced to this system. A sensor that is near a control valve can be connected to the control valve wires, eliminating the need to run additional sensor wires back to the controller. Installation costs are reduced because of less wire to run.
