Event Areas and their Actions

Overview

It is possible to draw areas on the fields to trigger one or more of the following actions when entering or leaving:

Drawing in the Areas

How are these event areas and the corresponding actions stored?

To do this, select the field via Fields and go to Edit field, here to Coordinates.

Draw an event area via Create new shape image.png.
(at the bottom right, you will see a dimension bar to help you draw the shape if you switch to "Full screen" image.png beforehand). When drawing, the last click must always go back to the first click.

Now edit the event area and select one of the options under Action.


Sending a message

You can send a message to yourself or another person, such as an employee, when the irrigator enters or exits an event area.
To achieve this, input the desired telephone number in the 'Recipient' field.


Sending a command

You can use the event areas to trigger one of the following commands when entering or / and leaving the event area.


Special areas for sector control 

There are areas that have been specially designed for sector control. These areas allow you to customise the sector control specifically to your requirements. 

Change irrigation sector

Here, you can specify the left and/or right stops for the drawn sector. Of course, it then takes the field boundaries into account based on these new stop angles.

When leaving the drawn area, you can switch back to the default (restore default).

If you do not enter anything for "on leaving", the settings for this irrigation programme remain active.
The default values will then be active again for the next operation.

Do not forget to Apply and Save!


Avoid Irrigation

Example: You do not want to irrigate an area (e.g. a strip along the motorway) for safety reasons.

Then select the Avoid Irrigation action in the "Action" field.


Permit Irrigation

Example: You want to over-irrigate an area (e.g. a strip along the woodland border) to ensure that all the plants in your field get enough water.

Then select the "Permit Irrigation" action in the "Action" field.


Prevent double irrigation

Mark the "Avoid irrigation" area between the two Runs. Each run now only irrigates up to this area so that double irrigation is prevented.

This line should be a very narrow area - a triangle, for example. When drawing, the last click must always go back to the first - the area must be closed in this way!
