IQNet Server/Client Communication

• Connection Module (CM) PE- Cable and/or Radio Secondary Communication

IQNet Server/Client
Communication Overview

Allows a single Server Satellite with IQ pri­mary communication connection (Cellu­lar, Ethernet, etc.) to be shared with up to
255 Client Satellites via Radio and/or Con­nection Module (CM) PE-Cable secondary
communication.

a. Utilizes lower cost IQNCCRS RS-232

Cartridges for Client Satellites.

b. Reduces yearly reoccurring com-

munication costs for systems using
Cellular communication.

c. Provides Normally Closed Master

Valve or Pump Start sharing be­tween Server and Client Satellites.

d. Provides Weather Sensor (not Flow

Sensor) sharing between Server
and Client Satellites.
