At the end of the last step the physical connection of all the devices is well known, therefore
the wiring process may be started.
The following page contains an example network, which will be used for demonstrating the
configuration process.
The example demonstrates a system with two water sources "A" and "B" and 8 irrigation lines
marked L1 – L8. Lines L1 to L6 are irrigating field crops, line L7 is a nursery, and L8 irrigates a
palm plantation.
The DREAM 2 control unit will be located at the pump house at source "A" where electricity is
available. The accessories that are in close proximity with the DREAM 2, will be wired directly to
the local I/O terminal boards at the DREAM 2 itself.
The accessories of lines L1 to L6 and the second water source are connected by use of 17
single cable RTUs.
The connection of the plantation L8 is done by 2 radio RTUs, and the nursery L7 which contains
a large number of valves close to each other, will be connected by a remote I/O expansion unit.
