DESCRIPTION

Product Overview
The IRRInet-M AC RTU is a remotely located unit used for monitoring and control of local
irrigation equipment. The unit can operate in stand-alone mode, or as an intelligent RTU or
node on a distributed control system. This manual describes both basic and expanded I/O
models.
The IRRInet-M AC RTU is enclosed in an indoor plastic case and is intended for indoor or
outdoor use (either wall or DIN rail mounting.) The installer must make sure that the
installation meets the requirements of the standard and protects the unit from weather hazards.
For outdoor installation, a suitable enclosure (such as UL certified NEMA box) must be
provided. The antenna must be physically secured at a permanent outdoor location.
The IRRInet-M AC RTU has two power options: main power option (24V AC) and external
backup batteries (9-16V DC).
Configuration of the IRRInet-M AC RTU is performed using the ACE3600 System Tools Suite
(STS).
Figure 1 provides a general view of the IRRInet-M AC RTU.

Controls and Indicators


The push-button is used to activate the LED panel, to toggle the LED panel so that it displays
the status of the CPU or of the I/Os, to initiate software downloading to the CPU, and to erase
User Flash memory and RAM.

LED Control
Display On/Advance
When the display is off, pressing the push-button once, momentarily, activates the display.
Every consecutive momentary depression of the push-button advances the display to the next
page, in the following order: CPU > IO1 (I/O Page 1-DI) > IO2 (I/O Page 2-DO) > IO3
(I/O Page 3-DO) > Page 4 (User Application Controlled). The next depression of the push-
button returns the display to the CPU.
Display Off
The display can be programmed using the STS site configuration to turn off automatically after
a predefined period of time if the push-button has not been pressed.
LED Test
When the push-button is pressed continuously for a few seconds, all LEDs light up
simultaneously. When the push-button is released, the LEDs turn off.
User Flash Erase
After power-up, all LEDs light up. To erase the User Flash, press the push-button while the
LEDs are lit. All the LEDs flash three times. Now, release the push-button.
Alternatively, press the push-button continuously for at least 40 seconds at any time to erase
the User Flash.

System Software Downloading


During power up, press the push-button continuously. This will cause the unit to enter
bootstrap downloading mode, in which the FLASH is programmed from a PC connected to
Port 1 of the IRRInet-M. The CPU LED will begin to blink at 1 Hz, indicating that the CPU
has entered bootstrap downloading mode. If after 120 seconds no bootstrap software is loaded
and executed, the normal power-up procedure is performed.

Description

CPU Reset (Cold Restart)/Power Off


To reset the CPU, turn the power supply to the unit off and on again. When the power supply
is turned off, all data stored in RAM will be erased ("cold restart").

CPU Fail
When a serious failure is found during the initialization of the unit, LED 3, the ERR LED, will
blink (CPU LED OFF) and LEDs in columns 3 and 4 will contain the error code indicating the
CPU error. See the list of errors below and the LEDs which will light.

Description

LED Display Indications


A 5  4 matrix of LEDs is used for diagnostics and testing of the unit (see Figure 3). The top
row indicates to which page or toggle (CPU, IO1, IO2, IO3, Page 4) the LED panel is set. To
advance from one page to another, press the push-button once quickly. The first depression of
the push-button activates the display. Subsequent short depressions of the push-button advance
the display to the next page: CPU > IO1 (I/O Page 1-DI) > IO2 (I/O Page 2-DO) > IO3
(I/O Page 3-DO) > IO4 (I/O Page 4-AI) > IO5 (I/O Page 5-AO) > Page 6 (User Application
Controlled).
Note that Page 7 (Hardware Test Controlled) can only be accessed via the Hardware Test
utility of the STS, and not by pressing the push-button.

The IRRInet-M AC has an over-current mechanism on the 24VAC. It is limited to 8A, and the
total allowed current for operation of all the solenoids is 6A. The unit consumes 150mA from
the 24VAC with no load. If a radio (e.g. HT750) is connected, it consumes 1A (during
transmission) from the 24VAC.

I/Os (Including Mixed I/O Expansion Board)


The IRRInet-M AC RTU with the Mixed I/O expansion board can control up to 12 AC
Solenoids (twelve outputs in the basic model.)
The operating voltage is 24V AC.
The IRRInet-M with the Mixed I/O expansion board responds to back indication signals from
seven different field input sensors, four inputs on the basic model (dry contact) and three
additional inputs (wet contact) on the expanded model.

AI (x4)
Four Analog Inputs are connected to the rightmost I/O terminal block on the expansion board.
(See Figure 8.) The AIs are 4-20mA or 0-5V. Each AI has a jumper which determines the
measurement. If the jumper is placed (closed), the AI is set up to measure current (4-20mA).
If it is not placed (removed), it measures voltage (0-5V).
Note: If the status of the jumpers is changed, the AI Type must be changed accordingly using
the STS Hardware Test utility.
Four options are available for the AI expansion configuration. The default setup of each AI
will be 4-20mA.

Options AI1 AI2 AI3 AI4


V580AC 4-20mA 4-20mA 4-20mA 4-20mA

If, for some reason, the jumpers need to be changed, the RTU must be disassembled. For
instructions, see Appendix D. Figure 8 shows how the AIs are to be connected.

Description

Figure 8 Mixed I/O Expansion Board Analog Input (Voltage/Current) I/O Connection

AO (x1)
One Analog Output is connected to the leftmost I/O terminal block on the expansion board.
(See Figure 9.) The AO is 0-20mA or 0-5V. The AO type (current or voltage) is determined
by connecting to the proper pin on the TB and by selecting the proper AO type in the software
(either via the Configurator Hardware Test utility or the user software application.)
The minimum output resistance for voltage output is 5KΩ.
In the case of current output, the AO can be driven by an internal or external power supply.
The maximum output resistance for current is as shown below:

Power Supply Current Output Maximum Output


Resistance
Internal 7.5V DC 120 Ω
External (24VDC) 24V DC 750 Ω
External (24VDC) 22V DC 700 Ω
External (24VDC) 20V DC 600 Ω

When using an internal power supply of 12V, do not attach an external


power supply to the AO. The resultant output resistance could damage
the components.

19
Description

Figure 9 below shows how the AO is to be connected.

Figure 9 AC Mixed I/O Expansion Board Analog Output I/O Connection

If the auxiliary radio power supply is set to 5V, the analog inputs of the
Mixed I/O expansion board will not be operational. If the auxiliary radio
power supply is set to 5V, 9.5V or 12V, the analog output of the Mixed I/O
expansion board will not be operational.

Working with an analog output when the auxiliary radio power supply is
set to 9.5V or 12V, may harm the unit.

BOX-SPECIFIC THEORY

General
The IRRInet-M RTU includes the following main components:
 Logic board - with CPU for processing power and data storage
 I/O connections – to connect to on-site sensors, such as water meters, pressure meters,
general digital input, or outputs such as irrigation valves, pump starters, general relays, etc.
 Communication ports – enabling the RTU communication to/from the ICC, to/from other
PLC’s and to an on-site programming tool (such as the Pocket Terminal).

23
Box Specific Theory

System Architecture
In an irrigation system, the IRRInet-M unit can operate as remote irrigation device, or as
irrigation field unit that connects between the IRRInet Control Center (ICC) and the remote
irrigation devices. The unit can act as a router between the ACE3600 unit and legacy devices
(e.g. Scorpio, Impact, IRRIcom.)
The IRRInet-M is initially configured by an ICC computer. In the field, the IRRInet-M
operates and monitors the irrigation systems and periodically sends data to the ICC. Once in
the field, it can be reprogrammed using an IRRInet Pocket Terminal (e.g. to set the field unit
clock or field unit parameters) with all changes being automatically updated in the ICC.
The IRRInet-M unit can operate local I/Os or remote irrigation devices such as the Scorpio and
IMPACT remote I/O (RIO).
The IRRInet-M units (sites) in the system can communicate among themselves or with the ICC
central computers using a variety of communication, including IP networks, two-way
conventional radio, trunked radio systems, GPRS, wire line or any other communication
network.
<Significant interfaces to the rest of the system. Perspective should be from the box looking out onto the system.>

INSTALLATION

General

IRRInet-M AC SAFETY SUMMARY

Installation of the IRRInet-M AC unit should be done only by authorized


and qualified service personnel in accordance with the US National
Electrical Code. Only UL Listed parts and components will be used for
installation. Use UL Listed devices having an environmental rating equal
to or better than the enclosure rating to close all unfilled openings.

The IRRInet-M should be installed by qualified and authorized technicians.


If the installation involves high-voltage connections, technicians must be
specifically qualified to handle high voltage.

This equipment was tested with cables 3 meters in length. If longer cables
and/or cabinets are used, the installer is responsible for making sure that
the installation complies with the requirements of the relevant standard.
When using an RS485 communication cable longer than 140 feet, the
customer must supply the appropriate wire protection (against lightning or
other massive power spikes).

The product is a radio accessory. The installer must make sure that the
radio connected to the system has all required approvals and that the
installation meets the requirements of the standard. This equipment is a
base station unit and complies with the FCC base station requirements.
The antenna must be installed outdoors.

The IRRInet-M AC unit can be mounted on the wall, either with screws or on a DIN rail.

25
Installation

Wall Mounting
The dimensions of the unit are: width – 8.48" (215.4 mm), height – 7.28" (185 mm), depth –
3.35" (85 mm), weight – 3.3Lb (1.5kg) maximum (see Figure 12).

Figure 12 Dimensions of IRRIcom RTU AC Plastic Case

The unit can be installed on screws or on DIN rail mounting. Before installing the IRRInet-M
AC RTU, verify that there is sufficient space around the unit. Allow 7.87" (200 mm) from the
bottom of the box for the TB connectors. For models with external radios, allow 3.15"
(80 mm). In order for the two wings of the IRRInet-M to open properly, be sure to leave 2.4"
(60 mm) to the left of the unit and 1.6" (4 cm) to the right of the unit.

Wall Mounting with Screws


The IRRInet-M AC unit can be mounted on the wall using screws, as shown in Figure 13.
1. Secure two screws (maximum head size 0.37” (9.5 mm)) on the wall, 4.1” (105 mm) apart.
2. Hang the unit on the screws, fitting the two cavities on the back cover of the unit over the
screws (see Figure 13).
The screws used should not protrude from the wall surface by more than 0.23” (6 mm) or by
less than 0.16” (4 mm).

26
Installation

Figure 13 Installation of IRRInet-M – Screw Mount

It is also possible to attach the IRRInet-M to the wall using the small screw hole at the bottom
of case, though this requires dismantling the RTU, which is generally discouraged. Consult
Motorola service personnel before opening the IRRInet-M casing. To mount the RTU:
1. Open the case and dismantle the parts of the IRRInet-M.
2. Secure the back of the case against the wall using a screw whose diameter is less than 0.14”
(3.5 mm) and head size is at least 0.22” (5.5 mm).
3. Reassemble the parts of the IRRInet-M.

Before beginning any disassembly or reassembly procedures, you should


be adequately grounded to prevent damage to static sensitive devices in
the unit.

Wall Mounting on DIN Rail

31
Installation

Power Connections
The IRRInet-M AC is powered by 24V AC (± 20%) and will work in normal operating mode
with 24V AC PWR IN. The RTU may also be powered by external (12V DC) battery sources,
but will only work in partial mode. For full mode, use an external wetting connection.
External Battery DC Power Connection
When the external battery DC power is used, the RTU will continue to work. The solenoids
will not be powered unless an external wetting connection is used. Overcurrent protection will
not be functional.

The main power supply must be connected to the unit using a 3A fuse (see
Figure 17).

When connecting the unit via a 3A fuse to a 12V DC source through the 12VDC PWR IN
Connector (see Figure 2) note that Pin #1 is + (positive) and Pin #2 is – (negative). The 12V
battery is not supplied.

Connect the unit only to a LISTED Direct plug-in Unit, to a Class II power
source as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC) or to a power source complying with Clause 2.11 of
UL1950 or Clause 2.5 of UL60950.

External Wetting Connection


This connection may be used to provide power to solenoids (connected to the Main and/or I/O
Expansion boards), whether the RTU is powered by 24V AC or by an external 12V DC power
source.

External Radio Connection


Connect the external radio to the External Radio port (see Figure 2). Verify that the radio is
powered on. The radio power is driven from the Auxiliary Power Out connector in Figure 2.
For radio installation instructions, see Installation of IRRInet-M with Waris External Radio
below.

It is recommended to replace the external radio only when the unit is


powered off.

If the external radio is connected to an outside power supply, first power


on the unit, and then power on the radio.

32
Installation

Line Communication Connection


Multi drop communication using internal DPSK can be performed between IRRInet-M units.
Connect a two-wire cable (not supplied) to the Line Comm connector in the IRRInet-M (see
Figure 19.)

Figure 19 IRRInet-M Line Communication Connection

In a wire line system, the installer must pay close attention to the following
material and installation details:

 The direct burial cable should meet or exceed the requirements of


a #14-2 underground feeder (UF) cable, with solid copper
conductors.

 Burial of the cable must be no less than 30" below finished grade.

 The cable shell is only spliced in the field unit enclosure. Where
splices between field units are necessary, an aboveground
weather-tight junction box should be used.

33
Installation

Installation of IRRInet-M with Waris External Radio


IRRInet-M models, which are equipped with external radios (GP320/GP328/HT750/
PRO5150), should be connected as described in Installation of IRRInet-M with
GP320/GP328/HT750/PRO5150 Radio in Appendix B below.
The IRRInet-M Radio Kit Assembly enables users to install a GP320, GP328, HT750,
PRO5150 radio (externally) to the IRRInet-M.

Before connecting the radio, verify that the IRRInet-M has been configured
for the proper radio type.

Portable radios are powered from 7.5V DC only.

Miscellaneous

To open the case door properly, press the two clips (latches) and pull the wing to an open
position.

Close the Case Door


To close the case door properly, press until the latch clicks. If the cable connections are not
threaded properly through the cable holes, the cable cover may not close.

Fixed Site Antennas


The antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to assure
optimal performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy is within the guidelines set forth by the local regulations.
The antenna must be mounted outside the building.
Mount the antenna on a tower if at all possible.
If the antenna is to be mounted on a building, then it must be mounted on the roof.
As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the
site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. This may require additional
compliance actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in
order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.

34
CONFIGURATION

General
The IRRInet-M AC unit can be configured using the ACE3600 System Tools Suite (STS). A
default configuration is provided when the RTU is shipped from the factory. If any changes to
the configuration are made by the user (e.g. updating the site ID), this new configuration is
downloaded to the unit. If a user-defined configuration is downloaded and then erased, the
default configuration will be used.
For information on changing the RTU configuration and downloading it to the unit, see the
ACE3600 RTU STS User Guide.

Port Configuration
The default port configurations are:
 Port 1: RS232 57,600 bps
 Port 2: RS232 RTU to RTU, 9600 bps
 Port 3: Radio DPSK, 1200 bps with Auxiliary DC power level of 7.5V

To change the default port configuration, use the STS. For information on configuring the
ports, see the ACE3600 RTU STS User Guide.

For general radios with positive PTT polarity, change the ‘Radio PTT
Polarity’ advanced parameter in the STS site configuration before using
the radio.

I/O Configuration
The default I/O configuration includes Main board I/Os only (4DI/12DO). To add Expansion
board I/Os or modify I/O parameter settings, use the STS. For information on configuring the
I/Os, see the ACE3600 RTU STS User Guide.

Advanced Parameter Configuration


A set of advanced parameters can be configured and downloaded to the IRRInet-M RTU using
the STS. These relate primarily to the communication and I/Os. To change the default settings
for advanced parameters, use the STS. For information on configuring the advanced
parameters, see the ACE3600 RTU STS User Guide.

RTU-to-Modem Connections

Only R&TTE approved modems should be used to connect the RTU to the
PSTN.

RTU-to-Modem Asynchronous Connection


For a 9-pin connection, use the FLN6458B cable kit to connect one of the IRRInet-M RTU
RS232 ports asynchronously to a modem. (The RTU serves as DTE.) The kit includes a cable
with RJ45 modular jacks on both ends and an RJ45 to 9-pin male D-Type adapter (see Figure
22 for RS232 and Figure 23 for RS232E). The possible RTU configurations are detailed below:

Port No. STS Definition


1 RS232 External Dialup Modem
1 RS232 External Modem

1. Before transmitting, the RTU sends an RTS=on signal to the modem,


and will not transmit unless it receives a feedback CTS=on signal from
the modem.

2. The RTU will not receive unless it receives a DCD=on signal from the
modem.

3. When using a modem in auto-answer mode (connected to a computer


port) for remote service, the RTU does not support the RTS/CTS
protocol, as the port is designed to operate with a local computer as
well as with a modem.

When the connector is facing upwards, the left-hand pin is Pin No. 1, and
the right-hand pin is Pin No. 8.
