C APPENDIX – PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES
C.1 Basic Programming Example – Public Park
Let's get started by using the RME EAGLE Controller in the roll of a conventional irrigation
controller. We will construct a common irrigation program to illustrate the use of the RME EAGLE
Controller. The programming example will describe the situation and then provide step-by-step
instructions for the entry of the entire program.
Our example will be a small public park. The park is used during the daylight hours and must be
watered early in the morning or after sunset.
Project: Public Park
Project Description:
1. Large sections of turf grass, irrigated by eighteen (18) separate valves.
2. Various sections of hedges and shrubs, irrigated by eight (8) separate valves.
3. Bedding flowers and annuals, irrigated by six (6) separate valves.
4. Various trees, irrigated by four (4) separate valves.
Watering Requirements:
1. Turf grass must be watered two times a day, once in the early morning and once at
night. Each valve will be on for 15 minutes.
2. Hedges and shrubs must be watered three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and
Friday. Each valve will be on for 20 minutes.
3. Flowers and annuals must be watered once a day in the early morning. Each valve
will be on for 10 minutes.
4. The trees must be watered once every two weeks. Each valve will be on for 30
minutes.
RME EAGLE Controller Requirements:
1. Will require the use of the four independent programs.
2. Water pressure is not a problem, so the controller can utilize No Stack mode.
3. More then one program can be run simultaneously.
4. Controller must be capable of controlling 36 stations (valves).
5. Watering must be complete by 7:30 AM each morning. Evening watering must not
start before 7:30 PM.
The following paragraphs will provide guidance in establishing your new controller and assist you
in implementing the many features of your product.
