Water Distribution Systems

The industry’s standard-setting monitoring and control system at your fingertips

The superior ICC PRO (IRRInet Control Centre) offers the best value for money and a total system solution for rural water distribution operations of any scale. The enhanced ICC PRO-IRRInet system lets municipalities and water corporations monitor and control comprehensive water systems remotely and automatically — from small- to large-scale operations.

The IRRInet system is comprised of: Motorola’s industry-leading ICC PRO software configured as an off-the-shelf water distribution software platform; IRRInet field units and RTUs; and a reliable, robust two-way radio communication system.

The system’s communication infrastructure can be customized from a wide range of wireline and wireless options (e.g., cellular, radio, internet, 2-wires) to meet specific requirements.

With the Motorola IRRInet system, rural municipalities and water corporations can automatically control and synchronize multiple water sources in response to changing water demands – efficiently and in real-time.

Ensuring constant flow control with real-time response to real-time demand

The Mottech solution provides reliable and continuous flow monitoring as well as instant response to dynamic water demand, water network bursts and leaks. The IRRInet’s wireline and wireless communication capabilities allow continuous monitoring and control of the water system from anywhere and at anytime via desktop software and mobile phone.

The IRRInet accurate, effective and automated control system provides:

  • Constant water flow rate
  • Accurate, reliable and customized information from multiple remote sites and field equipment to the main control center
  • Automatic alignment of water processes with changing demands
  • Pressure monitoring in the distribution pipelines
  • Up-to-date, comprehensive reports
  • Real-time alarms and messages

The IRRInet system is supplied as a fully assembled solution with all required components, ensuring flexible deployment of all remote terminal units (RTUs).

The IRRInet has a unique Data Store and Forward feature, enabling wide-area coverage and automatic rerouting of failed messages to a redundant communication link. The IRRInet also enables remote diagnostics and remote download/upload of software.
