FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION This manual provides a brief description of the external modules that can be connected to the Agrónic and a detailed explanation of their configuration and start-up. External modules are used for remote management of valves, sensors and meters. Communi- cation with Agrónic can be via cable or radio and the distances vary depending on the type of module.
