 What is IRRInet?

 The IRRInet, made by Motorola, is a cutting-edge yet

simple tool that centrally and remotely manages
water and irrigation applications and makes control
tasks exact, efficient and economical

 Accuracy: The IRRInet monitors and operates

remote sites in a timely and precise manner

3
 What is IRRInet?

 Water and Energy Saving: Activating pumps and

valves only when required and scheduled

 Time Saving: Eliminating the need to visit each site

for inspection, data collection/logging or make
adjustments

 Tasks are achieved automatically and manually

 Data: Transmitted to a central PC and could be
dispatched to mobile devices

9
 Advanced Communication Protocol (MDLC*)

 Reliable Communication: Data acknowledgement via any

number of communication nodes

 Remote Diagnostics: Remote HW and SW diagnostics

 Remote Programming: Remote upload and download

of programs and parameters

 Network Communication: Viewing and operating field units

from any point in the network

*MDLC: Motorola Data Link Communication

10
Store & Forward Application

Store & Forward feature is utilized

to pass information from IRRInet to
IRRInet through the system

IRRInet allows radio communication

between IRRInet-to-Central and
IRRInet-to-IRRInet, using existing units as
nodes in the network
(cost effective communication)
