For example, the control module can control the light source module 230 such that the value of the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 is an average value of the optimum illuminance of each of the plurality of capsules 100, using the "breed information ". In this case, the optimum illuminance of each of the plurality of capsules 100 differs depending on the variety of each of the plurality of capsules 100, and may be a predetermined illuminance for the plants to undergo a photosynthesis action and to grow fully.

Further, the control module controls the light source module 230 according to the "arrangement information" to control the plurality of lamp groups of the light source module 230 independently (illumination zoning control). That is, the control module may turn on one or more of the lamp groups corresponding to the capsule placement point (the capsule placement point where at least one capsule is arranged) having the active state among the plurality of lamp groups, (A capsule placement point where at least one capsule is not disposed) having a plurality of capsule placement positions having a plurality of capsule placement positions.

The illuminance of the cultivating space s1 in the first dimming mode increases and the illuminance of the cultivating space s1 in the third dimming mode can be reduced. Furthermore, in the second dimming mode, the average value of the amount of change in the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 and the average value of the amount of change in the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 in the fourth dimming mode correspond to the amount of change in the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 in the first dimming mode May be smaller than the average value and the average value of the amount of change in the illuminance of the cultivation space (s1) in the third dimming mode. In this case, the change amount of the roughness may mean the absolute value of the roughness changed in the unit time.

That is, the first dimming mode can dramatically increase the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 to correspond to the first section of natural light, and the third dimming mode can illuminate the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 to correspond to the third section of natural light It can be reduced rapidly. As a result, in the first dimming mode and the third dimming mode, the variation amount of the illumination space s1 is dominant, and in the second dimming mode and the fourth dimming mode, have.

Further, as shown in Fig. 10 (2), the time required for the first dimming mode may be shorter than the time required for the third dimming mode. The time required for the first section of the natural light is shorter than the time required for the third section of the natural light.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 10 (3), the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 may increase even in the second dimming mode. However, as described above, in the second dimming mode, the average value of the amount of change in the illuminance of the cultivating space s1 corresponds to the average value of the amount of change in the illuminance of the cultivating space s1 in the first dimming mode, ) Of the illuminance of the light source.

10 (4), the third dimming mode reflects the third-section and the third-second section of the natural light, and the third dimming mode is a mode in which the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 sharply decreases, 1 dimming mode and a third-second dimming mode in which the illuminance of the cultivation space s1 gradually decreases. That is, the variation amount of the illumination space s1 in the third-dimming mode may be larger than the variation amount of the illumination space s1 in the third-dimming mode. In this case, the 3-1 dimming mode may be performed before the 3-2 dimming mode.
