PIU – General View
Piccolo–XR
The Piccolo–XR is an intelligent, microprocessor based unit
that can be used to monitor and control local units in a multi
unit communication network. Piccolo–XR units communicate
data to a PIU while functioning as intelligent nodes in
Distributed I/O monitor and control systems. The Piccolo–XR
is often used in irrigation and water distribution systems (i.e.
irrigation valves, water meters, fertilizing meters, various
sensors, flushing filters, and other non-irrigation devices).
The Piccolo–XR is ideal for use in applications where very low
power consumption is essential. The Piccolo–XR is also
available in an outdoor resistant housing (IP66), designed to
resist harsh environment, such as exposure to sun, dust, and
pouring rain.
