Solutions for agriculture
See automation as a whole.
Choosing controls for a pig house requires looking at the whole building: measurement, ventilation, inlets and event signalling. Learn about the role of each component and go to the relevant product group.
Four areas to start with.
Choose an area of the system. The diagram below explains the functions; selecting suitable devices and checking compatibility requires consulting their documentation.
1Temperature measurement
The sensor provides the controller with information about conditions at the measurement point. Its type and location, and its compatibility with the controller input, are important.
View devices →2Ventilation control
The controller operates the system within the scope provided for by the particular model. Selection takes account of the control method and the parameters of the connected equipment.
View controllers →3Air inlets
Control of actuators must match the ventilation system, power supply and the way the drives operate.
View the range →4Alarms
Signalling helps monitor the system. The events monitored and the notification method depend on the solution selected.
View alarm systems →Before choosing devices.
Building and ventilation system
Describe the building, number of zones, fans and inlet-opening mechanism.
Electrical installation
Gather information about the power supply, loads and control signals.
Monitoring and operation
Specify the required control method, signalling and day-to-day operation.
Questions when selecting equipment.
Is one controller suitable for every pig house?
Selection depends on the system, connected equipment and the control range required. Compare your requirements with the documentation for the specific model.
Where can I find the diagram and instructions?
Device documentation is published on a separate documentation service. Choose instructions that match the device designation and version.
Can an existing system be upgraded?
Assessing this requires information about the existing system and devices. Send us their designations and a description of the planned change.
