AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This process is time consuming and often inaccurate
Even when closely monitored, it is difficult to assess the actual performance of each drive wheel independently of the loads applied to each wheel and the site conditions of each drive wheel path
As a result, operators often lack good data on actual site conditions for each drive path
Additionally, the operator cannot analyze or understand changes in drive motor current and voltage readings

Abstract

The invention provides a system and method for analyzing drive tower current and voltage levels to determine drive wheel status. In accordance with a first preferred embodiment, the system of the present invention includes a machine analysis module that analyzes data from an inductive sensing system, a GPS sensor, and a gyroscope sensor. According to a further preferred embodiment, the machine analysis module applies a current / voltage sensing algorithm that analyzes the state of the first and second drive wheels based on the detected operating current / voltage of the selected motor.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 899,174, filed September 12, 2019. [0003] Background technology and technical field technical field [0004] The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for irrigation system management. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods for analyzing drive tower current and voltage levels to determine drive wheel status. Background technique [0005] Existing pivot and linear irrigation systems typically include interconnected spans (eg, irrigation spans) supported by one or more tower structures to support conduits (eg, hose sections). In turn, the pipes are further attached to a sprinkler / nozzle system that sprays water (or makes other applications) in the desired pattern. In these modern irrigation systems, a large number of power elements are used to control various aspects of irrigation. These elements typically in...
