PKYDrip Wired Main Controller – PKY-60W

Role in the Irrigation System

PKY-60W is a wired main controller.
It serves as the logic and coordination core of a modular irrigation system.

The controller manages:

• Irrigation zones and schedules
• Automation logic (time-based or sensor-based)
• System coordination between valves, pumps, and fertigation equipment

It does not define irrigation area or water volume.

Where PKY-60W Fits

In a complete system:

• PKY-60W (Main Controller)
  Controls logic, zones, schedules, and sensor decisions

• Pump Controller (separate module)
  Safely starts and protects pumps or VFDs

• Valve Controllers (wired or LoRa)
  Independently control irrigation zones

• Gateway (optional)
  Enables wireless expansion and cloud connectivity

Each block operates independently within an expandable irrigation control system.

Typical Applications

PKY-60W is used as the main controller in:

• Greenhouse irrigation systems
• Open-field zoned irrigation projects
• Orchard and vineyard drip irrigation
• Landscape and municipal irrigation
• Fertigation and water–fertilizer integration systems

It supports both small pilot installations and large multi-zone projects.

Core Capabilities

• Multi-zone irrigation logic (base + expansion)
• Time-based and sensor-based automation
• Sequential or grouped zone operation
• RS485 sensor integration (soil, EC/pH, pressure, flow)
• Coordination with external pump and fertigation controllers
• Manual and automatic operation modes

Expandability & Upgrade Path

Start Simple. Upgrade Anytime.

Projects can begin with a small number of zones and expand over time without replacing the controller.

Each function — valves, pumps, wireless modules, fertigation — is added as an independent control block, allowing the system to grow with project needs.

Integration Notes (For Engineers)

• RS485 (Modbus) for sensor and device integration
• Logic-level outputs for pump start and VFD coordination
• Compatible with wired and wireless valve control architectures
• Cloud connectivity available via external gateway modules

PKY-60W focuses on control logic, not hydraulic sizing.

Coverage Area – Important Clarification

PKY-60W does not have a fixed coverage area.

Irrigation area depends on:

• Pump capacity and pressure
• Hydraulic design and pipe sizing
• Irrigation method (drip, sprinkler, pivot)
• Zoning strategy and irrigation schedule

The controller manages when and how zones operate, not how much water flows.

“The PKY-60W does not limit area.
It controls valves and timing.
The real limit is your pump and irrigation design.”

Typical Area Ranges (Reference Only)

These ranges vary based on hydraulic design and operating hours.

Summary

• PKY-60W is a main irrigation controller
• It defines system logic, not irrigation area
• Suitable for both small and large projects
• Designed for modular, expandable irrigation systems
