System Overview
Theory of Operation
The John Deere Field Connect System allows you to
measure, store, and analyze multiple types of field data.
Field Connect probes and sensors measure key inputs
including soil moisture and numerous environmental
conditions. Field Connect utilizes dual band technology to
ensure continuous uploading of data.
Field Connect technology enhances your ability to
manage the use of water and related inputs to maximize
yields, getting more output with the same or less input.

Glossary
Evaporation–Evapotranspiration is the sum of
evaporation and plant transpiration from cropland to
atmosphere. Evaporation accounts for water vapor
movement to the air from the soil; transpiration is water
movement within a plant and loss of water as vapor.
Field–Used as a grouping of management zones and
provides a name that describes the reason for the
grouping.
Gateway–Hardware used for consolidating information
from probes and sensors. Gateway then transmits
information for display in a web application.
Management Zone–Physical region used to manage
data. Data collected from a probe or sensor is stored
relative to the management zone.
Organizational Account–A virtual location for user and
equipment data. An account represents an individual
organization; Field Connect supports dealer and customer
accounts.
Probe–Hardware installed in the soil of a field. Contains
multiple soil moisture sensors measuring soil moisture
at different soil depths. Attaches to a gateway for data
transmission. Each gateway can have more than one
probe connected, but a probe cannot be connected to
more than one gateway at a time.
Pyranometer–Sensor used to measure broadband solar
radiation. Sunlight is collected from a 180-degree field of
view and measured in watts per square meter.
User Account–Login credentials and identification
information for a specific person in a system. User login
credentials allow access to an organizational account.
