Intelligent Software

The power of the CS3000 field controller is in the software intelligence that provides the automation and resource management capabilities. The large backlit display is intuitive and easy to use.

• Program plant type, head and soil type, exposure and precipitation rate for ‘Groups’ of like stations saves time
• Role-based access control to limit which settings users can change using individual PINs on the controller

The CS3000 controller is available in 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 conventional stations and/or as a 2-Wire controller. An optional 2-Wire board (CS3-2WIRE-OPT) allows a single controller to manage up to 128-independent valves, anywhere along a 7,000-foot cable run. Decoders are available as a 2-station POC and as a POC decoder. By combining multiple 2-Wire POC decoders, a single controller can manage multiple points of connection, as well as operate a two or three-level bypass manifold.
