Abstract: A sensor system for a grain storage device is presented. The sensor system includes sensor cable segments configured to connected together in series to form a modular multi-segment sensor cable. In one or more arrangements, each sensor cable segment has a housing, a sensor circuit positioned in the housing, a support cable, and a data cable. The sensor circuit has an upper electrical connector and a lower electrical connector. The data cable is configured to communicatively connect the electrical connector of the segment with and the lower electrical connector of another segment. The support cable is configured to operably connect an upper end of the housing in one segment with a lower end of the housing of another segment in the sensors. The support cables and housings in the multi-segment sensor cable prevent strain on data cables and sensor circuits.

Abstract: A grain handling system having an air system is presented that is capable of automatically detecting and clearing a plug in a tube of an air system using a central controller, an air pressure sensor, a dynamic pressure relief valve and a variable frequency drive connected to and controlling a blower motor. When a plug is detected, the central controller stops the flow of grain into the tube and ramps up the output of the blower motor to full capacity. Thereafter, the central controller performs an unplugging routine by opening and closing the dynamic pressure relief valve causing surges of air to impact the plug either breaking up the plug or bumping the plug along the tube until it clears. Once the plug clears, the central controller resumes normal operation.

Abstract: A grain drying control system including a grain drying device, a plurality of sensors associated with the grain drying device and a computer. The computer controls the grain drying device based on the data transmitted from the sensors related to ambient conditions, grain temperature and moisture, and unload speed to achieve a desired grain moisture.

Abstract: A system is presented for monitoring grain handling systems at a grain handling site. The system includes a central control system and one or more intermediate control devices communicatively connected to the grain handling systems. The central control system is configured to provide a first user interface configured to facilitate creation of a process flow and programming of the intermediate control devices to operate in accordance with the process flow. In response to detecting an error in the process flow during operation, the central control system is configured to prompt the plurality of intermediate control devices to cause the set of the grain handling systems to perform a first set of actions indicated by the process flow if the error occurs before the grain handling systems and perform a second set of actions indicated by the process flow if the error occurs after the grain handling systems.

Abstract: A system is presented for evaluating grain in a grain handling system. The system includes a sensor system and a sample conveyor system. In one or more arrangements, the sensor system is operatively connected to the grain handling system and includes an optical sensor. The sample conveyor system is configured to collect samples of grain in the grain handling system, deliver the samples of grain to the sensor system, and remove the samples of grain from the sensor system. The sensor system is configured to measure characteristics of the samples of grain delivered to the sensor system by the sample conveyor system. In one or more arrangements, the system includes a cleaning system configured to clean the optical sensor, the lens; and/or other components of the sensor system. In one or more arrangements, the system includes a recalibration system configured to recalibrate the optical sensor.
