  • Page 4: Fcc Statement

    FCC statement for internal RF module, model RF-MODULE-G5P FCC ID: 2AC2T-RF-MODULE-G5P This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

  • Page 5: Rf G5P Mcp Radio Rtu System

    RF G5P MCP RADIO RTU SYSTEM The G5P radio RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) system of TALGIL offers a perfect solution for controlling large scale distributed irrigation systems. The G5P radio system utilizes low transmission power and free frequency band, therefore no licensing is required.

  • Page 6: Principle Of Operation

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION All RTUs are expected to communicate to the center. The central receiver/transmitter is known as the MASTER. All RTUs and the MASTER that belong to the same system must have a common NETWORK ID that will differentiate the particular system from other neighbring systems.
  • Page 7 For saving energy the RTUs unlike the ROUTERs are most of the time in low power mode and with the receiver switched off. The RTUs wake up periodically to indicate that they are alive. This is the reason why RTUs can be powered by 4 alkaline batteries for a whole year but this is also the reason why RTUs cannot be communicated randomly, but only after they report being awake.
  • Page 8 member belongs to a higher layer, the command will be transferred with no delay right up to the last ROUTER in the path that either has the output on it, or it is the ancestor of the RTU to which the output belongs. The outcome of this discussion is that commands sent to outputs that belong to ROUTERs will be carried out with no delay, but outputs that belong to RTUs may suffer a delay of the WAKEUP time.
  • Page 9 G5P-4 and the other mode G5P-5. In the G5P-4 mode the system is imitating the previous generation G4 of TALGIL RF system which could handle up to 60 RTUs, the same is true with the G5P-4 mode as well, but in this case the INTERFACE can actually play the role of up to 10 G4 INTERFACES.
  • Page 10 VARIOUS RTU TYPES The MCP system offers various types of RTUs that can be selected according to the specific needs. ECONOMICAL RTU The ECONOMICAL RTU can be ordered in the following combinations: • No. of outputs and digital inputs – 0, 1 or 2 (the outputs are 2 wired 12v DC latching, the inputs are dry contacts).
  • Page 11 Setting up the communication at the RTU (Figure 5 <6>) 1. Setting the NETWORK ID – Use the rotary switches to set the NETWORK ID. The NETWORK ID must be the same as set at MASTER. (Figure 5 <7>) 2. Setting the RTU ID – Use the rotary switches to set the RTU ID as defined at the connections list of the host controller.
  • Page 12 <3> The Economical Figure 6 - Programming the ECO RTU WAKEUP – the rate at which the RTU will send its wakeup signals. b. SANITY – the rate at which the RTU will send its sanity strings. RSSI LINK – the required RSSI that the RTU should seek for connection.
  • Page 13 2. Analog sensors require energizing. The energizing can come from an external source or internally from the RTU itself. When the internal energizing is selected (more convenient) then the energy to the sensor is not supplied continuously but (Figure 8 <2>) periodically, it arrives from terminals VS1, VS2 a short while before measurement, in order to reduce energy consumption.
  • Page 14 The indication of the RTU’s 4 status LEDs (Figure 5 <4>) The status LEDs of the RTU behave as follows: • PWR LED – Indicates that the unit is energized, under normal conditions it will be blinking. • NET LED – Indicates the communication status: ▪...
  • Page 15 MODULAR RTU The MODULAR RTU can be ordered in the following combinations: • No. of outputs – 0,2,4,6 or 8 (2 wired latching). • No. of digital inputs – 0,4 or 8. • No of analog inputs – 0,1 or 4. <8>...
  • Page 16 UPGRADING FIRMWARE OF RTUs ON THE AIR In large systems containing many RTUs, upgrading the firmware may become a painful process. Each RTU has to be visited and programmed individually. With the OTA system, the RTUs are upgraded “On The Air”, multiple RTUs in parallel, so obviously it is a great step ahead.
  • Page 17 In both cases the resulting file will be placed at the folder “result” residing in the same directory at which the COMPOSER software is placed. The resulting firmware files to be used by the OTA LAUNCHER will get names that describe quite clearly how they were created.
  • Page 18 (Figure 15 -3) The next step will be the selection of the RTUs from the “Present RTU” list to be included in the OTA session. Selecting RTUs one by one is accomplished by double clicking on the RTU ID in the list, the RTU will be moved from the “Present (Figure 15 -4) RTU”...

    Defining the G5P system on Dream 2 controllers Like any other interface type the RF G5P is introduced to the Dream controller during the Hardware Definitions. Image 1 describes the procedure step by step. We start by selecting Setup at the menu (Screenshot 1), then we select the Hardware/Connection option (Screenshot 2).
  • Page 21 In additition to the functions described above the MASTER can also be used as a SNIFFER that can monitor and report about the activity of the network. The result of this report is a log-file that can later be analized in order to learn about the quality of the communication.

  • Page 25: Introduction To Rf G5P Mcp System

    Introduction to RF G5P MCP SYSTEM The MCP (wirelesses Multilayer Communication Protocol) used to convey information between the Master unit and RF RTU. The RF G5P system units used to operate irrigation heads which installed far from the Dream 2. The advantage of the RF G5P on the previous RF generations is the ability to add to the RF system up to 11 layers.
  • Page 26 Routers and finds the best Router for improvement of the problematic End unit. Image 4 describes an example of RF G5P MCP system. RTU number 1 cannot communicate directly with the Master because of a topographic barrier (There is no line of sigth). In addition, RTU number 2 is far from the Dream 2 (More than 2.5 kilometers) Therefore, the installer defined a Router (RTU number 3) in the middle of the way between the Master and RTUs 1 and 2.

  • Page 27: The Sniffer

    The Sniffer Since the RF transmission is invisible, Talgil computing and control ltd developed a troubleshooting tool which helps to identify, examine and see what is happening in the air. This tool called Sniffer. The Sniffer listens to the RF communication and writes the results on the MCP Sniffer software.

  • Page 28: Description Of The Sniffer Results

    Description of the Sniffer results Figure 6 describes an example of a packet that has been sent by the End unit number 1 to the Master unit. Here are the terms and their explanations: 1. Time-Every packet starts with the time of receiving the information. 2.

    Inputs State- The current Inputs state of the End unit. The value represents a decimal conversion of two bits. The possibilities are: 0= ‘00’- the two Inputs are opened. 1= ‘10’- Input 1 is closed. 2= ‘01’- Input 2 is closed. 3=‘11’- the two Inputs are closed.
