Box Specific Theory
System Architecture
In an irrigation system, the IRRInet-M unit can operate as remote irrigation device, or as
irrigation field unit that connects between the IRRInet Control Center (ICC) and the remote
irrigation devices. The unit can act as a router between the ACE3600 unit and legacy devices
(e.g. Scorpio, Impact, IRRIcom.)
The IRRInet-M is initially configured by an ICC computer. In the field, the IRRInet-M
operates and monitors the irrigation systems and periodically sends data to the ICC. Once in
the field, it can be reprogrammed using a IRRInet Pocket Terminal (e.g. to set the field unit
clock or field unit parameters) with all changes being automatically updated in the ICC.
The IRRInet-M unit can operate local I/Os or remote irrigation devices such as the Scorpio and
IMPACT remote I/O (RIO).
The IRRInet-M units (sites) in the system can communicate among themselves or with the ICC
central computers using a variety of communication, including IP networks, two-way
conventional radio, trunked radio systems, GPRS, wire line or any other communication
network.
