What it controls
PKY-GHC01 provides control logic and control outputs. Motor power switching, protection and field wiring are handled through a suitable local power cabinet.
Exhaust fans
Staged ventilation for temperature and humidity control.
Circulation fans
Air movement strategies inside the greenhouse.
Cooling-pad pumps
Cooling coordination with ventilation stages.
Roof and side vents
Vent opening strategies with wind and rain interlocks.
Internal and external shading
Shade responses linked to radiation and temperature.
Fogging / misting
Optional cooling or humidity support actions.
Heating
Heating equipment where seasonal or night control is required.
Irrigation pumps and valves
Irrigation coordination and interlocks with climate logic.
Lighting and alarms
Supplemental lighting outputs and alarm signaling.
Control logic separated from the power cabinet
Indoor sensors, outdoor weather inputs, schedules and HMI feed PKY-GHC01. The controller issues control outputs to a local power cabinet, which switches greenhouse equipment. An optional gateway can connect to hosted, local or hybrid platforms without blocking local automation.
Weather data should trigger controlled actions
PKY-GWS01 outdoor weather inputs are intended to drive configured control strategies. Strategies require configuration and site validation. The controller does not automatically make every agronomic decision.
- High temperature can stage fans, cooling-pad pumps or fogging
- Strong wind can restrict roof and side vents
- Rain can close vents or activate a defined safety state
- Solar radiation can adjust internal or external shading
- Indoor and outdoor conditions can be evaluated together before ventilation or cooling actions
Built for integrators and panel builders
Use your own electrical cabinet or request a PKYDrip cabinet option after configuration review. PKY-GHC01 stays the logic layer — not a substitute for qualified electrical installation.
- Documented integration for OEM and repeatable greenhouse packages
- Equipment names, zones and language packs are configurable
- Fertigation and irrigation interlocks can be selected when ordering
- Source-code access is not included with every product
How the control chain works
Local control logic remains available without internet. The gateway is optional. The weather station is an input module for control actions, not a standalone display product.
- Indoor sensors and outdoor weather provide process inputs
- Schedules and HMI set operating intent
- PKY-GHC01 runs setpoints, delays, stages, priorities and interlocks
- Control outputs go to the local power cabinet
- The cabinet handles contactors, breakers, VFDs and motor protection
- Optional gateway supports remote monitoring and management

PDFFrequently asked questions
Can PKY-GHC01 work without internet?
Yes. Local automatic and manual control continue without internet. Ethernet, Wi-Fi and 4G are optional gateways and do not replace local logic.
Can we use our own electrical power cabinet?
Yes. PKY-GHC01 is designed to integrate with a suitable local power cabinet. PKYDrip can also supply a complete cabinet option after configuration review.
Does the controller directly power greenhouse motors?
No. PKY-GHC01 provides control logic and control outputs. Motor power switching, protection and high-power wiring are handled through a suitable local power cabinet.
Can the weather station control vents and shading?
Weather inputs such as wind, rain, radiation and outdoor temperature/humidity can trigger configured actions. Strategies must be configured and validated on site. The weather station is an input module, not a standalone display product.
Can the HMI use our language and equipment names?
Yes. English is the standard base. Additional languages, equipment names and groups are configurable when ordering. Deeper OEM branding changes are subject to project evaluation.
Can it connect to fertigation and irrigation control?
Yes. Fertigation and irrigation interlocks are configurable options. PKY-FG501 and related irrigation modules can be coordinated as part of a confirmed package.
Is the source code open?
PKYDrip is open for documented integration and controlled OEM configuration. Source-code access is not included with every product and depends on the software scope and partner agreement.
What information is required for configuration?
Company and country, greenhouse area and number of houses, climate zones, equipment list, whether a power cabinet already exists, required sensors, required HMI language, and preferred configuration package.
PKY-GHC01 is the global-standard modular greenhouse automation controller. The existing Climate Control System family page remains published and is not redirected.
