Overview

GrowControl™ GCX Cultivation Control Systems can manage nearly every aspect of a facility's environment
and water management with extensive and intuitive programming capabilities. Sensors and inputs are
monitored, control logic is executed, and output devices are operated. Alarm conditions can be set to notify
users of a fault or problem condition by email or text message, and data logs are stored on the system that
can be exported by email or USB.
GrowNET™ Devices
A large variety of 'GrowNET™' plug-and-play peripherals are available to sense and control the environment
including:
• Environment Sensors (temperature, humidity, light, co2, etc.)
• Hydroponics Sensors (pH, conductivity, ORP, etc.)
• Peristaltic Dosing Pumps
• Control Relays
• DIN Rail I/O Modules
GrowNET™ devices connect using standard CAT5 Ethernet cable and RJ-45 connections. HX8 GrowNET™
Hubs expand one GrowNET™ port into eight more ports. HX8 hubs provide power to the devices from the
hub ports, further simplifying installation. Recommended maximum cable length is 1000ft.
