Talgil - DREAM2 - Professional Irrigation Controller

Professional Control for Advanced Irrigation Systems

DREAM2 is Talgil’s flagship irrigation controller for medium to large farms, irrigation schemes, and complex multi-block environments. It combines smart control of irrigation, fertigation, filtration, and environmental sensing into one powerful, cloud-connected platform.

What Makes DREAM2 Exceptional?

• Run up to 999 irrigation outputs with full valve, pump, filter, and fertigation control.
  
• Sensor-driven logic: Digital, analog, SDI-12, and weather station input.
  
• Designed for scalability: Modular I/Os and multiple communication modes (wired, radio, 4G, Ethernet).
  
• Independent & resilient: Runs scheduled programs even with network outages.
  
• Remote access & analytics through SPOT mobile app and Console PC software.
  

DREAM2 is ideal for:

• Complex irrigation systems across blocks or properties
  
• Growers needing precise nutrient and water management
  
• Irrigation schemes managing off-takes, tanks, and pressure zones
  
• Projects requiring automation of frost protection, drainage, or environmental response

The controller can be accessed via the 'Console' PC Software and the 'SPOT' Phone App.

This is our premium controller that has many capabilities and can suit most water/irrigation applications!

Features and Benefits

The DREAM2 can run several irrigation programs at the same time, allowing you to manage multiple pumping systems and properties from a single cloud-based controller.

It’s designed for large farms with multiple blocks currently managed by separate controllers, helping to standardise and simplify irrigation operations.

The DREAM2 supports multiple communication technologies from one unit:

• Hardwired/Multiwired
  
• Radio (3km radius, repeatable up to 30km)
  

Full integration, monitoring, and command of:

Water Systems

I/O Options Overview

Local I/O (AC or DC)
The system can connect directly to 1 or 2 I/O boards, each with 16 outputs and 8 digital inputs—ideal for controlling nearby devices.

Remote I/O Expansion
Remote I/O units come in the same configuration (up to 32 outputs and 16 inputs) and are housed in an enclosure. Multiple units can operate together for broader coverage.

RF (Radio) Communication
When cabling isn’t practical, radio-based RTUs are used. An RF Master unit communicates with up to 999 RTUs, each able to read digital/analog inputs and activate DC latching outputs. A single RF channel can handle up to 60 RTUs.

Local Analog Inputs
Analog sensors near the controller can be connected via:

• Compact interface (2–4 inputs)
  
• Modular interface (up to 64 inputs, in groups of 8)
  Analog inputs can also be read through the RF system.
  

pH/EC (Fertmaster) Interface
This interface handles pH and EC monitoring, up to 6 fertiliser injectors, and a booster pump. It has its own display and keyboard for setup and monitoring. It works in sync with the DREAM2 controller during injection processes.

THD Interface
Measures Temperature, Humidity, and Dew Point, ideal for frost protection or cooling programs. Defined in the system as a THD-type analog input.

Weather Station Interface
Connects the system to a Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station for full environmental monitoring.
