TankBot, the nutrients controller from GroLab grow controller system.

THE POWERFUL TANK MANAGER

TankBot is the most versatile and precise module from the GroLab™ family. It could be described as a complete controller that is able to cover all the aspects of tank management. However, this description is not enough because TankBot is much more than that. PH & water temperature regulation, nutrients dosing, water level management, and tank refill/drain are just some examples of the TankBot capabilities.

TankBot configuration schematic, nutrients controller, PH controller, used also as a security for motion and smoke detection.

Actuator Management

TankBot can provide power to all peripherals of your growing environment. It has 4 connectors that supports 12v actuators allowing a wide variety of devices like water pumps, solenoid valves, peristaltic pumps, relays, air pumps and power contactors. Using power contactors or relays extends the module capabilities to control any kind of device, providing a huge amount of options to automate a variety of systems like irrigation, lighting and air flow. In addition, TankBot provides an extra power output (12V/1A or 24V/2A), that you can use to power sensors like motion/smoke detectors, this output is not controllable working only as a power supply.

Manual Control

This module comes with 4 external switches that give the user the ability to manually control all connected peripherals at any time on the spot.

PH Monitor & Adjustment

This module gives you the possibility to deep analysis, monitor and control the pH. The GroLab™ system programmable procedures offers several options to regulate pH based on the user needs.

EC Monitor & Analysis

TankBot also supports EC probe extending the monitor and control of your water tank to another level. GroLab™ system can notify you and even react based on electrical conductivity of your water.

Water Temperature

TankBot provides all you need to continuously regulate the water temperature ensuring the optimum conditions for your plants to grow.

Nutrients Dosing

Connecting peristaltic pumps on TankBot opens the door to the nutrients dosing domain. GroLab™ system provides all the necessary tools to calibrate the peristaltic pumps and to create procedures to precisely pump the required nutrients amount.

Speed Customization

TankBot provides the capability to customize device speed. This feature can improve the precision even with low cost devices.

Advance Irrigation

Thanks to the capability of handling actuators of 12v, it is possible to create impressive irrigation systems that can independently feed multiple grows.

Tank Level Management

This module supports 4 extra switch sensors of your choice like water level sensors, allowing to continuously monitor the water level of your tanks. With the right peripherals connected to the TankBot, like solenoid valves or water pumps, user can create procedures to automatically drain and refill, allowing a complete tank maintenance.

Safety Protocols & Procedures

TankBot allows you to create safety protocols & procedures to avoid risk situations or even react to them in order to minimize the damage. Fires and intrusions are some examples of risk situations this module can handle. The cool-down time feature prevents damage to devices that require some time to cool before being turned back on. All of these options are fully configurable!

Module Communication

TankBot communicates with GroNode (the system's core module) through radio frequency with a range of 25 meters indoors (depending on obstacles) and 100 meters in open spaces. This makes it easy to install the TankBot close to the water tank.

Monitor & Analysis

Using GroLab™ Software the user can monitor and analyze the different pH, EC, temperature and the 4 extra sensors in real time. The software provides you notifications, charts, grow(s) overview and even allows you to export the sensors values from the beginning of your grow(s) life cycle.

Notifications

When you provide Internet connection to GroNode (the system's core module) it can send real time alerts and updates to your e-mail about the state of the sensors and devices connected to TankBot. It will also notify you in case of any issues arises.

LED Indicator

TankBot has a LED that indicates if the module is powered and connected to GroNode (the central module of the GroLab™ system).
