SENTINEL® CENTRAL CONTROL PRODUCT GUIDE
The Sentinel Advantage
Distributed Intelligence
Each field controller in a Sentinel System is a fully intelligent unit. The programming that drives
irrigation is resident within each controller, but is also saved within the Central Computer. This
provides distinct advantages for users of Sentinel:
•
No loss of irrigation because a computer or a middle manager/master controller fails:
Each Sentinel Controller is responsible for its own irrigation. In other systems, the controller
is just a dumb slave to a computer or middle manager telling them when to turn a valve on or
off.

•
Redundant Programming: The controller programming is saved in both the controller and
the central computer. If either of those units fails, the programming can be pulled from the
other to repopulate (reprogram) the replacement.
Two-Way Programming: Irrigation Programs can either be changed at the central computer
and sent to the controller, or changed at the faceplate of the controller and pulled back into
the computer.
Protection from unauthorized changes: If someone makes an unauthorized change to the
irrigation program in a controller, the program can be easily compared to the program saved
in the central computer. If the programming in the controller is incorrect, it can be easily
changed back to the program stored in the central computer.
Easy-to-Use Software
Sentinel Software is simple to set up and easy-to-use.
•
Microsoft® Windows-Style Navigation: The layout of Sentinel software looks familiar to
anyone who has used Microsoft® Windows. From easy-to-see Main Menu buttons to an
expandable/collapsible navigation tree that puts all the data for individual field controllers
one click away.
•
All required programming accomplished in three screens: Water Managers can utilize as
many features as they want, or just the basics. All the programming required for automatic
irrigation to occur can be accomplished in three screens. And, to make it even easier, all the
primary information for an irrigation program is visible in a single screen, including start
times, stations & run times, watering day schedule, water windows, etc., etc.
Purchase Software Only or Software + Computer: For reliability, performance, & support,
we recommend you purchase a Toro NSN Sentinel Computer. However, if you already have
a computer or an IT department that frowns on outside computers, just purchase the software.
The Microsoft® .NET (dot-net) Advantage: Sentinel software is developed using
Microsoft’s .NET Platform – the latest and greatest for software development. .NET enables
developers to do more with less code, meaning fewer mistakes, higher productivity and a
better end product. .NET is Microsoft’s latest, and leverages many of Microsoft’s
development insights and accounts for the many computing changes over the last decade. It
also has an army of experts and technicians supporting it in the event that our engineers
encounter problems.
