System Overview
Theory of Operation
The John Deere Field Connect™ system allows operators
to measure, store, and analyze multiple types of field data.
Soil moisture probe and environmental sensors measure
key inputs, including soil moisture and environmental
conditions. Cellular and satellite communication
technologies support data uploads.
Field Connect™ technology enhances the ability to
manage water usage and related inputs to maximize
yields, getting more output with the same, or less input.

Glossary
Field–Used as a grouping of management zones.
Provides a name that describes reason for the grouping.
Gateway–Hardware used for consolidating information
from soil moisture probe and sensors. Gateway transmits
information for display in a web application.
Land–Specific to an organization, includes multiple fields
and management zones.
Management Zone–Physical region used to manage
data. Data collected from a soil moisture pobe or sensor
is stored relative to 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.
Soil Moisture Probe–Hardware installed in field soil.
•
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 soil moisture
probe connected, but a soil moisture probe cannot be
connected to more than one gateway at a time.
User Account–Login credentials and identification
information for a specific person in a system. User login
credentials allow access to an organizational account.
