INTRODUCTION
Scope of this Manual
This manual provides instructions for the installation and
operation of the Distributed I/O system Piccolo Interface Unit
(PIU) and Piccolo–XR units. The Distributed I/O System
includes PIUs and Piccolo–XRs. Each PIU can be linked to up
to 256 Piccolo–XRs. For more information on the PIU and
Piccolo–XR, see the online help of the DIOS Service Toolkit.
General Description
The Distributed I/O System (DIOS) is a self-sustained system
designed to function within the IRRInet irrigation control
product line.
The DIOS consists of the following components:
Piccolo Interface Unit (PIU)
Piccolo–XR Units
The PIU functions as an interface between the host application
(irrigation SW and HW) and the Piccolo–XR units. The PIU
and Piccolo-XR are portable devices, which are used in fixed
installations. The PIU uses one of its communication ports to
link to the host application and radio communication to link to
the Piccolo–XR units. Figure 1 provides a general view of the
DIOS System.

DIOS –General System View
The battery-operated Piccolo–XR unit is available in various
models with different options of Inputs and Outputs. The
Piccolo–XR unit can operate DC latch solenoids (outputs), read
status and calculate flow of dry contact meters (inputs).
The units are equipped with built-in radio for communication
with the PIU.
The DIOS automatically builds communication network, using
Store and Forward (S&F) technology, enabling the DIOS to
cover areas larger than normally possible when using a single
radio to communicate with the PIU.
Using the DIOS, the IRRInet system opens and closes stations
(manually or automatically by irrigation programs), reads dry
contact input status, calculates flow rate and accumulates
pulses from water meters.
Introduction

PIU - Piccolo Interface Unit
The Piccolo Interface Unit (PIU; see Figure 2) is connected to
the IRRInet Field Unit (FU) via RS232
or RS485 serial ports.
Each PIU supports up to 256 Piccolo–XR units, with any
available I/O combination, limited by the capacity of the
IRRInet software only.
Utilizing the S&F technology and networking capabilities, the
PIU can be linked to Piccolo–XR units positioned in distances
of up to 1500-2000 meters (approx. 1 mile), depending on
topography, antenna type and antenna installation.
The PIU is an interface between the Piccolo–XR and the
IRRInet FU, which provides communication and networking
operations only. (Monitor and control features are not included
in the PIU.) That is: The control and monitor functions are
provided either locally, by the Piccolo–XR or by an upper
hierarchy unit (i.e. IRRInet FU).
The PIU is a portable device, which is used in fixed
installations enclosed in an indoor plastic housing.
The PIU must be installed by qualified and authorized
technicians, so as to meet applicable safety standards and to
ensure protection against weather hazards for the unit.
If the PIU will be connected to outdoor lines, an interface unit,
complying with Clause 6 of the UL 60950 standard must be
provided.
Introduction

Figure 2
PIU – General View
Piccolo–XR
The Piccolo–XR is an intelligent, microprocessor based unit
that can be used to monitor and control local units in a multi
unit communication network. Piccolo–XR units communicate
data to a PIU while functioning as intelligent nodes in
Distributed I/O monitor and control systems. The Piccolo–XR
is often used in irrigation and water distribution systems (i.e.
irrigation valves, water meters, fertilizing meters, various
sensors, flushing filters, and other non-irrigation devices).
The Piccolo–XR is ideal for use in applications where very low
power consumption is essential. The Piccolo–XR is also
available in an outdoor resistant housing (IP66), designed to
resist harsh environment, such as exposure to sun, dust, and
pouring rain.

Unlicensed Frequency Restrictions
(For UHF 430-450 MHz radio only) When using a frequency
in the unlicensed ISM range (433.0625-434.7875 MHz, not
including 443.95 MHz and 444.8625 MHz), certain
regulatory restrictions apply:
Maximum transmit power 10mW (See Note 12 below.)
Maximum transmission time 1 sec (See Note 13 below.)
Channel occupation duty cycle
(total transmit time in any hour)
10% per hour (360 seconds)
(See Note 14 below.)
Transmission Limited to quiet channel (See
Note 15 below.
Override Not allowed
When Piccolo XR / PIU units are ordered in the unlicensed
ISM range (433.0625 - 434.7875 MHz), the radio will be
shipped after being programmed to 10 mW output power.
Note 12: Please note that due to the lower transmission
power, the distance between the Piccolo and the PIU is
shorter than the distance when using a licensed frequency
with 100 mW transmission power.
Note 13: The current consumption of the Piccolo will
increase due to the fact that the Maximum transmission time
is reduced and therefore the Piccolo should wake up more
frequently.
Note 14: The maximum number of transmissions from the
PIU/Piccolo is limited to 360 per hour. When this number is
exceeded, the PIU/Piccolo will stop transmitting until the
current hour has elapsed.
Note 15: The PIU/Piccolo will not transmit on a busy
channel. Verify that the frequency you choose in the band is
not continually busy.

requirements in order to ensure optimal performance and
guarantee that human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth by the
applicable local regulations.
The antenna must be mounted outdoors, preferably on a tower,
if possible.
Building mounted antennas must be located on the building
roof.
All fixed site antenna installations, including the installation of
this pole antenna, require that, under the responsibility of the
licensee, the installation site be managed in accordance with
the applicable regulatory requirements. This may require taking
additional compliance actions such as signage and site access
restrictions in order to ensure that human exposure limits are
not exceeded.
