LCC2 Touch – Climate Control Computer

The LCC (Logic Climate Control) series from DGT by Senmatic offers extraordinary levels of control and precision, sufficient to run a major horticultural production enterprise regardless of the required/desired grow-environment variables, with maximum efficiency. 

The LCC2 climate computer can control all climate functions for one compartment. It is based on state-of-the-art technology and an advanced operating system, and is easy to update and expand with more functions and capacity, futureproofing against business change or expansion. The LCC2 communicates via Ethernet with the installed expansions, and this ensures a great degree of flexibility in connection with future expansions.

The flexible composition of the hardware in the LCC2 makes it possible to choose sensors that are exactly optimal for each production system. It is also possible to use more than one of each sensor in each room, offering a level of flexibility sufficient to ensure the highest rates of accuracy and safety.

When developing LCC2, DGT by Senmatic’s primary focus was to achieve a simple user interface without compromising the setting options. Through collaboration with major growers, they have created a control system with extreme user-friendliness. LCC2 features a touch screen interface to ensure ease and trouble-free use for the grower.

 

Energy saving climate control

DGT by Senmatic supplies advanced climate computers for the monitoring and control of the complex processes in commercial greenhouses and other grow-environments, creating the optimal climate for plants. 

The LCC climate computer can divide 24 hours into 6 time zones with optional automatic correction, depending on sunset and sunrise. With the LCC2, growers can control grow environment variables including internal climate and irrigation, as well as adjusting DGT by Senmatic by Senmatic’s LED fixtures, allowing dimming and spectral modification. Ventilation can also be controlled in greenhouse or suitable grow-room systems with cascade vent control. This system opens the lee side and the wind side at the same time. The wind side is opened only slightly, while the lee side is opened as much as needed. This cascade control of vents gives an effective ventilation in greenhouse environments, even at small vent opening percentages.
