FW Murphy’s EMS467 electronic monitoring system goes to work down on the farm
When Irrigation Automation chose to
upgrade to an electronic monitoring
system offering custom programming,
remote monitoring
capabilities and
additional sensors
for soil moisture
conditions, temperature, frost protection and even complete weather stations, it chose the
EMS467 system
from FW Murphy.
Irrigation Automation, based in Buzzards Bay, Mass., has sup- pliedautomatedirrigationsystems
to the agricultural industry since 2004.
The company was already using FW
Murphy’s EMS448 electronic monitoring system on its automated irrigation
systems, but it wanted a controller
that could be custom programmed for
agricultural needs.
Requirements Irrigation Automation
was looking for included remote monitoring capabilities and additional sensors for soil moisture conditions, temperature, frost protection and complete weather stations.
“We were happy with our exist-
ing Murphy controller, but we
wanted to expand our capabilities
to include remote monitoring,” said
Kevin Connolly, owner of Irrigation
Automation. “We wanted a control-
ler that could provide greater control
and flexibility. It was important that
we had the ability to create custom
programming for individual applica-
tion needs.”
To distinguish its controllers from
the competition, Connolly said that
Irrigation Automation wanted a con-
troller that did not rely solely on
web-based programming. The com-
pany chose to upgrade to Murphy’s
EMS467 electronic monitoring sys-
tem, a microprocessor-based con-
troller equipped to handle remote
modem communications using remote
modems or SCADA communications.
