  local process
• The IRRInet XL communicates with the central unit
  and field units (IRRIcom, IRRInet XL,Piccolo XR )
  with one or two radios
• IRRInet XL has a unique Single Cable (S.C.)
  module which controls Piccolo RTUs
• The IRRInet XL is designed to operate in rough
  environment conditions (-30 to
  60C)

Store Forward Application
Node
IRRInet XL allows radio Communication between
IRRInet-to-Central and IRRInet-to-IRRInet,
using existing units as nodes in the network
Store Forward feature may be utilized to pass
information from IRRInet to IRRInet throughout
the system

Piccolo RTU and Single Cable Advantages

• Operates via 2 X 1.5mm cable from IRRInet single
  cable module
• Controls one solenoid and receives two digital
  inputs
• Up to 63 piccolo units on one cable
• Up to 10km cable length

  cable module provides the energy to operate
  solenoids and to receive back information data
• Optional Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) is
  available for the Single Cable module
  (better and advantageous protection )

  up to 8 inputs (depends on the model). The
  Piccolo-XR has also the options of analog I/O
• The Piccolo-XR communicates via low-power radio
  to IRRInet-XL and other Piccolo-XR units for a
  distance of approximately 3 km
• Up to 256 digital inputs, 256 digital outputs, 32
  analog inputs and 32 analog outputs of
  Piccolo-XR are supported per IRRInet-XL unit
• Power external 6VDC battery
• Ambient Temperature -30 ºC to 60 ºC (-22 ºF to
  140 ºF)
• I/o options 1
  solenoid output 1 digital input
• 2 solenoid outputs 2 digital inputs
• 4 solenoid outputs 4 digital inputs
  
• 8 solenoid inputs
• 1 analog input
• 1 analog output
