The GOcontroll Moduline IV automates hydroponic vertical farms, maintaining perfect nutrient balance, climate, and irrigation for sustainable, high-yield growth.

Hydroponic vertical farms demand precision. Every factor — from nutrient levels to oxygen flow — must be carefully controlled to ensure consistent plant growth. The GOcontroll Moduline IV provides a modular, intelligent automation platform for Smart Hydroponic Vertical Farming Control, combining real-time data monitoring with advanced actuation. By managing pH, EC, dissolved oxygen, and irrigation cycles, it enables growers to optimize resource use, minimize waste, and boost yields in compact, scalable environments.

In a hydroponic vertical system, plants rely entirely on controlled water chemistry and nutrient delivery. The Moduline IV automates this delicate balance by continuously monitoring and adjusting key parameters.

Core control functions include:

• pH regulation through acid/base dosing.

• Electrical Conductivity (EC) management for nutrient concentration.

• Dissolved oxygen (DO) control for root respiration.

• Pump sequencing for irrigation and nutrient circulation.

• Temperature and humidity coordination with the climate system.

Through closed-loop control, each plant level or growth zone receives the optimal water and nutrient composition — ensuring uniform growth across the entire farm.

The GOcontroll Moduline IV is designed for flexible hardware configuration, supporting up to eight I/O modules for complete system integration. Its modularity allows adaptation to farms of any scale — from research units to commercial installations.

Typical module configuration includes:

• 6-channel input modules for pH, EC, temperature, and oxygen sensors.

• 6-channel output modules for pumps, solenoid valves, and dosing actuators.

• Digital I/O for float switches, alarms, and safety interlocks.

• Relay or PWM control for LED grow lights or aeration systems.

Each signal channel can be independently configured and scaled, providing precise control over every process variable. The rugged IP-rated housing ensures long-term reliability in humid agricultural environments.

The Moduline IV supports powerful yet intuitive software tools like Node-RED and MATLAB Simulink, enabling users to create smart automation routines without extensive coding knowledge.

Example applications include:

• Automated nutrient dosing based on EC and pH readings.

• Irrigation scheduling tied to environmental and sensor data.

• Aeration control responding to dissolved oxygen levels.

• Dynamic lighting adjustments based on day/night cycles or growth stage.

Node-RED’s visual dashboard allows users to monitor parameters, log data, and remotely fine-tune the farm’s operation via any connected device. This approach combines industrial reliability with user-friendly control for growers and researchers alike.

Consistent optimization requires accurate data. The Moduline IV continuously records all sensor and system data with timestamped precision, enabling performance analysis and yield optimization.

Through Ethernet, CAN, or Modbus TCP, users can:

• View live pH, EC, and temperature readings.

• Log nutrient dosing and pump cycles for traceability.

• Access cloud dashboards for remote farm management.

• Integrate the controller with farm management systems or IoT analytics tools.

These capabilities give farmers actionable insights into how small adjustments in conditions impact overall yield — a critical step toward data-driven agriculture.

The GOcontroll Moduline IV brings professional automation technology to the world of controlled-environment agriculture. Its modular design and open software ecosystem make it ideal for:

• R&D facilities developing new crop formulas.

• Commercial vertical farms aiming for high consistency and minimal waste.

• Educational or demonstration systems teaching precision agriculture.

By automating nutrient dosing, irrigation, and climate coordination, the Moduline IV transforms hydroponic vertical farming into a sustainable, high-efficiency food production method — empowering smarter, greener growth worldwide.
