STS and IRRInet-ACE § The IRRInet-ACE unit is an ACE 3600 RTU running the Irrigation (Master) application. Its hardware and system software is identical to that of the ACE 3600 RTU. § The IRRInet-ACE supports two modes of operations: first, as an RTU performing all irrigation functions, reporting to the IRRInet Control Center (ICC), and Stand Alone, performing all irrigation functions as a stand-alone unit when the system is installed without an ICC. § With DIOS (Distributed I/O System) connectivity, the IRRInet. ACE can activate Piccolo-XR units with its PIU (Piccolo Interface Unit) functionality. § The IRRInet-ACE RTU can be programmed on site, using a laptop or an IRRinet Terminal for Pocket. PC. § The IRRInet-ACE may be installed in a totally new irrigation system, or in a legacy system in addition to, or instead of, a legacy IRRInet-XL or IRRInet-XM unit. 81 STS 11. 70 7 -2008

IRRInet-M Types and Modes There are two types of IRRInet-M: IRRInet-M AC (for AC solenoids), and IRRInet-M DC (for DC solenoids). The IRRInet-M RTU supports three modes of operation: • RTU – Performing all irrigation functions, reporting to the ICC via MDLC network (loaded with the IRRIV Master application) • Stand Alone – Performing all irrigation functions as a standalone unit when the system is installed without an ICC. (loaded with the IRRIV Master application) • Remote I/O – Serving as a distributed I/O for another “master” unit that performs all irrigation functions (when loaded with the IRRIV Slave software). This is applicable when multi-site control synchronization is needed. With a PIU connected, IRRInet-M can control Piccolo-XR units. 82 STS 11. 70 7 -2008

IRRInet-M, continued The IRRInet-M RTU can be programmed on site, using a laptop or IRRinet Terminal for Pocket. PC. The IRRInet-M (master mode) may be installed in a totally new irrigation system, ICC V 14 or higher. The IRRInet-M (slave mode) may be installed in a legacy system in addition to/instead of a legacy Scorpio unit. Important: Although the IRRInet-M looks like the IRRIcom and MOSCAD-M on the outside, it is a different unit with different connectors, hardware, and software. These units are NOT interchangeable! 83 STS 11. 70 7 -2008

Tips on Using the STS for Irrigation For legacy irrigation systems, MOSCAD Tool. Box 9. 54 should be installed on the PC along with the ACE 3600 STS software. When defining an IRRInet-M unit, follow the instructions in the Operation chapter of the ACE 3600 STS User Guide. Differences between handling an IRRInet-M unit and an ACE 3600/IRRInet -ACE unit are specified in the individual procedures. Note: When an IRRInet-M is connected to a PIU via RS 232, the port’s advanced physical parameter ‘RTS Always On’ MUST be set to Yes! 85 STS 11. 70 7 -2008

STS and Network Configuration Irrigation systems such as the one depicted on the previous slide should not use the generic network configuration table produced automatically by the STS. Instead, a customized network table should be created and maintained, as follows: 1. After defining two connected sites (RTU 100 and RTU 1) with their links (RSlink 19 and Radio 1 for RTU 100, and Radio 1, RSlink 2 for RTU 1), save the generic network configuration table produced by the STS as a private network table. (See the Managing the Network and Editing a Network Table sections in the Operation chapter of the ACE 3600 STS User Guide. ) Initially, the network table should have two entries in it. 88 STS 11. 70 7 -2008

STS and Network Configuration 2. Delete the second entry (for RTU 1), leaving one entry with a Site ID and two (or more) Link IDs. 3. Continue defining the rest of the RTUs in the system, using the following convention: 89 § Only links from the RTU to PIU units should be named RSlink 1. § Only links from the RTU to IRRInet-M Router (for connection to Scorpio, Impact, and § IRRIcom legacy units) should be named RSlink 2.

STS and Network Configuration 4. Edit the customized network table to show only those communication nodes which are not connected to PIU and legacy units. 5. To simplify the viewing the system in the GUI’s Diagram view, it is recommended to hide the RSlink 1 and RSlink 2 links in the display. To do so, click on the Links button in the System view. 90 STS 11. 70 7 -2008

STS and Legacy RTUs The STS does not support legacy irrigation units. However, the STS can be used with IRRInet-XM and IRRInet-XL legacy units, as follows: § To define an IRRInet-XM module, drag the Legacy>MOSCAD entry in the inventory. § To define an IRRInet-XL module, use the Legacy->MOSCAD -L entry in the inventory. Although the RTUs that are created will be marked as MOSCAD/MOSCAD-L in the STS GUI, you can download relevant Irrigation files to the RTUs and retrieve errors and diagnostics from them. As with legacy MOSCAD RTUs, the site configuration of legacy irrigation units must be imported. See the instructions on importing a site configuration in the Operation chapter of the ACE 3600 STS User Guide. 91 STS 11. 70 7 -2008
