Communicating With The Smarthub; Layout 1 - Local - Toro Lynx SmartHub Installation And User Manual

Communicating with the Lynx SmartHub
A personal computer running Toro's "Lynx" software is necessary to communicate with the Lynx SmartHub. The
SmartHub allows Lynx software to control over 9,000 sprinkler heads with individual precision.
The Lynx computer is attached to a Field Interface Unit (FIU) which sends commands to the SmartHubs throughout the
golf course.
There are two ways for the FIU to communicate with SmartHubs: by Wireline or by radio. This document shows three
typical layouts making use of one or both methods.
For the purposes of the layouts, the pedestal and cabinet Smart Hubs are interchangeable with each other.

Layout 1 - Local
