Bidding Specifications Central Controller The central controller shall utilize a personal-computer-based, Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate platform, userfriendly irrigation management and control program. The central controller shall utilize client/server architecture. Computer shall include 2 video outputs and allow map graphic to be floated onto secondary monitor. The central controller shall utilize site graphics with 64-bit software, including site graphics at the station level.
PAGE 4
The central controller shall have the ability to communicate with and control 500 Network VP satellites with up to 64 stations for up to 32,000 stations. The central controller shall automatically calculate sunrise and sunset based on longitude, latitude and date, and provide this information for starting or stopping a program in relation to sunrise or sunset.

run from one minute to 23 hours and 59 minutes (programmable in one-minute increments), with individual start times for each station (switch output). Switches may also be scheduled to run with any program and include the ability to offset the start time prior to or after the start of the program. The central controller shall allow a user-defined response to a satellite, Field Interface Device (FIU), weather station or pump station based alarm.
