Version History IrriRT

Hydraulic calculation

New hydraulic calculation that achieves results drastically faster (4 to 10 times faster than the previous calculation) and ensures iteration convergence

Google Maps

New resolution of the survey issue through the Google Maps console due to a technological change required by Google

Further advancements and fixes

1. Bug fixings

CAD import

Possibility of recognizing the main during the import of DXF files by adopting a specific color for the element

Exported documents

New indication of the diameter and length values of the mains reported in the exported drawings (PDF and DXF). This will provide more information during the installation phase

Google Maps

Resolution of the survey issue through the Google Maps console due to a technological change requested by Google, which required an implementation effort

Further advancements and fixes

1. Resolved footer and shift map export issue
2. Database update for Netafim
3. Bug fixings

Valve box and cabinet

• Possibility to introduce a group of valves/cabinet/control unit into the plant and manage the shifts
• Automatic connection of a new sector to the valve box (if existing to the nearest element) or manual connection

Pipe design

Guided design of pipes and dispensing devices with real-time flow rate control to create a shift without exceeding the available flow rate.

Measure

During the design of new links, the system displays the relative length.

Block of elements

New functionality to easily create, save and reopen blocks composed of any database element.

Pump Saving

Possibility, through a dedicated window, to create, save, and reopen a pump, evaluate its operation, and accept its use in the plant

Dispenser connection

New functionality that allows automatically connecting the selected emitters to an existing network and dividing into shifts based on the available flow rate

Inline driplines

During the tracing of inline drip lines, the system automatically positions the drippers at the correct spacing

Label

Automatic sizing of the labels of the mains in the exported drawings based on the dimensions of the element to which the label refers

Footer

Automatic footer sizing and positioning. Possibility to position the footer also manually

Database

Distinction between the database contained in the IrriPro software and that in IrriRT to prevent agricultural products from being used in gardening and vice versa.

Further advancements and fixes

1. Shift map update
2. Possibility of extending a luminaire to the edge or to an internal selection
3. Updated the database with new products from the Netafim and Pipelife catalogue
4. New function to disconnect dispensers from their connections
5. Fixed bug in the MAC version in scrolling navigation in the Google Maps console
6. Bug fixings

Popup placement and linking

Automatic pop-up placement and connection uses a new algorithm that improves device coverage and connection quality. The ducts will be automatically sized and equipped with all the necessary fittings

New labels

New indication of the diameter and length values of the mains reported in the exported drawings (PDF and DXF). This will provide more information during the installation phase

Database

Database update for Pipelife, Azud, and other brands

Further advancements and fixes

1. Improved algorithm of the “connect emitters” function
2. Improved function added new products in the database
3. Bug fixings

Closed networks

It is finally possible to design sector networks with closed paths. This new typology only concerns the design but does not involve differences in the hydraulic calculation. Also available is the new type of ducts to create rings or closed networks.

MAC version

After several reports of incompatibility of IrriRT with new generation MAC systems, with this version we have made profound changes that resolve this problem.

Updated console

Due to a technical incompatibility introduced by a Google update, a new version of the Google Maps console included in the software has been released.

Non-irrigated area

New “non-irrigated area” function with which the user can indicate where the pipes should not pass. System automatically considers terrain edges as “non-irrigated zone” for mains and secondary pipes.

Database

New Pipelife catalog and Netafim database update.

Further advancements and fixes

1. Pump calculation correction
2. Improved selection criteria for device range
3. Improved regulator positioning algorithm

Automatic connection

Very useful function when you want to create a new shift/sector with a specific group of elements. Simply call up the function after selecting the devices and the system will automatically connect them with pre-sized ducts and the addition of the necessary fittings.

New report

New report is now cumulative (of entire plant) of hydraulic calculations with data including head losses, velocity and reach lengths. Additionally, bill of materials is exportable by individual sector or main only.

Range Modification

Generally, range is shown with nominal values and, after hydraulic calculation, varies according to pressure. User now has ability to modify device range up to 25% to account for possible manual adjustments planned afield in many models.

Further advancements and fixes

1. Flow rate unit of measure in L/min instead of m³/h
2. Possibility to insert the drop online
3. Improved device distribution for greater coverage
4. Ability to change the size of the Footer and legend
