This manual introduces the control modes and components of the Netafim 2-wire system, and provides hardware connection instructions.
The Netafim SingleNet 2-Wire System is designed to interface with various controllers and enable remote I/O terminals. It transmits voltage and communication via a single 2-wire cable to Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) spread throughout the field. The system supports four control modes, interfacing with NMC-64/PRO controllers, parallel controllers, Elgal Irrigation controllers, or PLCs with Modbus drivers.
The manual details the physical setup of the hardware network, which includes a master controller, a slave controller (2-Wire host), and RTUs. It provides instructions for connecting power, linking the host to RTUs and master controllers via RS232 or RS485, and utilizing optional lightning suppression modules. Additionally, it guides users through the installation and configuration of the PoleNet software for system monitoring and management.
| Application versions supported | PoleNET: V1.18 onwards; 2-wire Host: V1.38 onwards; 2-wire RTU: V1.16 onwards; NMC-64: V2.02.04 onwards; NMC Pro: V3.00.01 onwards |
|---|---|
| Date of issue | 08th of February 2008 |
| Master Controller Outputs (NMC-64) | 64 outputs |
| Master Controller Inputs (NMC-PRO) | 32 inputs |
| Max RS232 cable distance | 3 Meter |
PoleNet is used to install and configure the SingleNet 2-wire system as well as to analyze its behavior.
The system can include a Serial Lightning Suppression Module (SLSM) and one or more Parallel Lightning Suppression Modules (PLSMs).
