Conviron provides control systems for our plant growth chambers and rooms that combine simplicity and performance with flexibility and robustness. The success of our control systems can be attributed to several basic principles. They must be simple to use yet flexible enough to meet your current and future needs, and completely reliable to ensure the on-going integrity of your work.
In keeping with these objectives, Conviron has once again delivered with its next-generation CMP7000 Series control system pictured below:
The CMP7000 controller is based on our proven PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) platform that consolidates various components into a single integrated unit, thereby reducing the number of parts and simplifying the overall design. The new design is scalable allowing Conviron to expand its capabilities to match the needs of the specific application.
Easy Programming
Extended visibility of multiple timelines and processes
Develop, edit, name and store complex programs with ease
At-a-Glance Monitoring
Historical trend graphs, vibrant alarm status, and easy-to-track alarm history
Zoom and pan functions ease visualization of trend data, which can also be saved to a USB stick
Intuitive Interface
7" (17.8 cm) full-color, high resolution touchscreen with intuitive graphic interface for easy navigation
Display is replicated on ConvironDirect, which eases remote access, training and trouble-shooting
The CMP7000 is the most user friendly plant growth chamber control system on the market. Easily set up schedules, programs, and trend graphs, pinch and zoom just like on a common handheld mobile device, swipe left or right to advance, or switch to dark mode for additional comfort.
Program Complex Experiments
On the touchscreen display, users can create, edit, name and store up to 16 programs (24-hour cycles) that define up to 18 control processes including temperature, humidity, lighting, carbon dioxide, other gases, watering and other connected devices. Stepped or ramped rate of change is possible depending on configuration:
Create up to 16 programs.
Organize Schedules
Up to eight programs can be organized into a schedule to create single-day, multi-day and seasonal experiments. Within a schedule, programs can be set to run once or repeat up to 99 times, or they can be set to run indefinitely for long-term experiments. For added flexibility, users can replace or add sensors as needs change and adjust the offset calibration through the touchscreen display. Users can adjust non-program based processes, such as fan speed control and the type of temperature transition (i.e. step or ramp):
Organize up to eight programs in a schedule.
Access Research Data
Control processes are automatically logged and five days of history can be accessed. Up to seven of the processes can be viewed one at a time as trend graphs on the touchscreen display, which show setpoint and actual values that are logged every 30 seconds. Zoom and pan functions ease visualization of trend data, which can also be saved to a USB stick. For more extensive analysis, every 18 seconds the CMP7000 automatically records every input/output parameter that is being controlled and monitored. This comprehensive, high-resolution data is available to users and service personnel from any network- or Internet-connected PC, through ConvironDirect:
Visualize up to seven control processes.
Protect Your Plants
To protect your experiments from unintended changes, access to User, Administrator and Service levels is password protected. Users can define audible and color-coded alarms on the touchscreen display to alert them to conditions within the chamber. The most recent 16 alarms appear clearly on the display and a complete alarm history can be retrieved through any network- or Internet-connected PC, through ConvironDirect.
Program up to 18 control parameters.
New Advanced Features
Many of our plant growth chambers and rooms are unique when it comes to temperature, light, humidity, CO2, and other climatic variables. Understand exactly what specifications define your particular growth chamber or room and dive deep into its performance envelope with the psychrometric graph so that you can take your equipment to the limit and your research to the next level:
