    1.0 Introduction FieldNET is a robust monitor and control solution for irrigation management. A wireless network is created that is connected to the Internet at a single point. Once the network is established your irrigation system can be monitored and controlled from anywhere in the world with access to the Internet.

  • Page 9: Fieldnet System And Components

    that the safety circuit of the mechanized irrigation equipment to be monitored or controlled must not be bypassed or overridden in any way. 6. All OSHA regulations must be followed when installing FieldNET equipment. If you have employees who climb higher than six feet they must be trained and certified in fall protection.

    Bridge along with a high speed Internet connection. The Bridge does not include or require a monitor, keyboard or mouse. The Bridge only needs to be plugged in and powered on. The software on the Bridge starts automatically when it is powered on. If the Bridge is ever turned off or looses power the software will start up automatically once someone powers it back on.

    3.6 UHF Neulink/Skyline Radios An existing Online Control system with Neulink or Skyline radios is easily integrated into a FieldNET system. The Base radio for the existing online controls is unplugged from its PC and connected to the FieldNET Bridge. Events must be generated on the pivots with the existing Neulink and Skyline radios to force them to transmit.

  • Page 13: Design And Installation

    4.0 Design and Installation There are seven steps to designing and installing a FieldNET system: Create map of installation site Build Order Bridge Installation Repeater Installation RTU Installation Verify/Modify Design Verify system operation The goal of this process is to determine what hardware is needed, verify RTU and Repeater range and determine if any additional hardware is required.

  • Page 14: Build Order

    Maps made with Google Earth can be saved to a file that anyone with Google Earth can open. An accurate map is needed to determine the distance between transmitters and will also aid in orienting antennas. The map should contain all pivots that will have RTUs installed, the Bridge and Base RTU and Repeaters.
  • Page 15 Base RTU Installation Verification The installation of the Base RTU is verified if a FieldNET RTU can “mesh” with the Base RTU. To perform this test a FieldNET RTU is powered up, the Mesh LED on the test FieldNET RTU will indicate if the test RTU can communicate with the Base. The FieldNET RTU must have the same hop pattern as the Base RTU.

Each Pivot type that the FieldNET RTU can monitor has an installation kit specific to that pivot, perform the following checks after installing the pivot specific kit. 2. When first powered up the RTU will try to communicate to a Base RTU, either directly or through a repeater.

  • Page 25: Verify/Modify Design

    4.6 Verify/Modify Design Each FieldNET site must be individually evaluated. Once the Bridge, Base RTU and Repeater have been installed verify that each pivot’s RTU can mesh with the Base RTU. When a pivot’s RTU is first powered up it will attempt to communicate with a Base RTU.

    Appendix A. Design Examples Example 1 The diagram below shows the most common type of FieldNET installation. The Pivot RTUs “A” are all on the factory default hop pattern 2. The Repeater B is located on a high point near the Base RTU C such as a grain leg. The Repeater B uses the factory default hop patterns of 2 and 4 and the directional and omni directional antennas that come with the Repeater package.
  • Page 43 Example 2 The diagram below shows a FieldNET system using two Repeaters daisy chained together to extent their range. The pivot RTUs A are all on the default factor hop pattern 2. Repeater B uses the default factory hop patterns 2 and 4 and the default antennas that are shipped with the Repeater kit.
  • Page 44 Example 3 The diagram below shows a FieldNET installation with RTUs that communicate through a repeater and RTUs that communicate directly with the Base RTU. One of the pivot RTUs A uses a maximum gain directional antenna. Communication Paths The pivot RTUs A communicate with the left radio module of Repeater B. The right radio module of Repeater B communicates with the Base RTU D.

  • Page 54: Repeater - Additional Information

    F. Repeater – Additional Information Repeaters are used to extend the range of the wireless network. Each Repeater consists of two radio modules, each with its own hop pattern and antenna. The hop pattern for each radio module is selected by setting internal switches. There is one bank of switches for each of the two radio modules.
  • Page 55 Antenna Each antenna connector accepts a reverse polarity SMA male connector. A 12-1547-0 (24” adaptor) or a 12-0477-0 (72” adaptor) cable is used to connect all antennas except the 13-2018-0 whip antenna. The Repeater installation kit contains a 12-0428-0 omni directional antenna and a 12-1546-0 long range directional antenna.

    FieldNET RTU Hop Patterns 0 to 7 Before changing the position of Switches 1-4 remove power from the Repeater. Wait 10 seconds before changing the position of Switches 1-4. The Repeater only checks the position of these switches during power up so it is important to wait for the power to be completely drained from the Repeater.
