CA 2432871
Certain embodiments of the present invention include distributed control architectures and improved metering apparatus and methods for agricultural chemical dispensers. The distributed control architecture may comprise a system in which a mother controller, such as a PC or programmable logic controller (PLC), is networked with one or more inductor units having a local controller and one or more other chemical dispensing units lacking or having a different local controller, wherein the local controller/mother controller I/O is configured to permit networked control of both the inductors and other chemical dispensing units via the mother controller. The metering apparatus and methods for agricultural chemical dispensers may provide batch-based metering of particulate or liquid chemical via a means for detecting dispensation of a given quantity of chemical from a supply means. In certain embodiments the detecting means may include one or more scales coupled to one or more PLCs.
