Handle Electronic Components and Brackets Safely

Falling while installing or removing electronic components mounted on equipment can cause serious injury. Use a ladder or platform to easily reach each mounting location. Use sturdy and secure footholds and handholds. Do not install or remove components in wet or icy conditions.

If installing or servicing a RTK base station on a tower or other tall structure, use a certified climber.

Safety

If installing or servicing a global positioning receiver mast used on an implement, use proper lifting techniques and wear proper protective equipment. The mast is heavy and can be awkward to handle. Two people are required when mounting locations are not accessible from the ground or from a service platform.

Operate Implement Automation Systems Safely

Do not use implement automation systems on roadways. Always turn off (disable) implement automation systems before entering a roadway. Do not attempt to turn on (activate) an implement automation system while transporting on a roadway.

Implement automation systems are intended to aid the operator in performing field operations more efficiently. The operator is always responsible for the machine path.

Implement automation systems include any application that automates implement movement. This includes, but may not be limited to, iGrade™ and Active Implement Guidance.

To prevent injury to the operator and bystanders:

Verify the machine, implement, and automation systems

•

are set up correctly. Remain alert and pay attention to the surrounding

•

environment. Take control of the machine, when necessary, to

•

avoid field hazards, bystanders, equipment, or other obstacles. Stop operation if poor visibility conditions impair your

Theory of Operation

Introduction

iGrade™ is an active elevation control system which uses selective control valves (SCVs) to control implement height based off GPS elevation data.

iGrade™ has four functional modes:

Plane Control – used to create a surface design with

•

either a single slope direction or a dual slope direction. Grade Control – performs desired slope entered based

•

on actual distance traveled not linear distance. Grade control is not direction-dependent. Remote Control – receives elevation data commands

•

from an outside source to control implement height through SCVs to a desired plane or ditch design. Distance Trip – allows GPS position to trigger machine

•

hydraulics based on distance traveled. For example,

SCV Setup

Adjust SCV Flow Rate

CAUTION: Excessive operating speed can cause

damage or injury. Full extension or retraction of cylinder should take at least 2 seconds.

Adjust rate of operation for each job. Rate should be slow enough to be safe, yet fast enough to be practical.

Change flow setting as follows:

1. Press selected SCV switch (A). Display below touch switch shows previous rate of flow.

NOTE: To provide operator with additional indication

of command setting, as operator “clicks” flow knob (B) through the flow settings, the display will increase or decrease the number of multiple line increments as the flow changes.

2. Turn flow rate knob clockwise (rabbit) to increase flow or counterclockwise (turtle) to decrease flow. Flow setting is shown on bar graph display (C) when adjustments are made.

NOTE: SCV can be operated to observe flow rate while

in adjustment mode. Reduced cylinder cycle times and (or) a reduction in motor speed may result if total flow demand exceeds available pump flow.

4. Tighten lock nut on valve cartridge.

Calibrate SCV Thresholds

CAUTION: To avoid serious injury, keep area

around equipment clear. This procedure requires machine to move forward.

Implement will move during calibration.

NOTE: Anytime an adjustment to system is made, such

as SCV hydraulic flow rate or counterbalance valve adjustment, calibrate SCV threshold.

SCV threshold calibration is necessary for optimal performance. Perform SCV threshold calibration each time Application Controller with iGrade™ is installed on a different machine. Without SCV threshold calibration, scraper may move significantly faster in one direction, undercompensate, overcompensate, or not perform as expected due to hydraulic limitations.

To calibrate SCV, machine must move faster than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) to initiate hydraulic flow for SCV control. Select SCV (1 or 3) then AC mode as indicated on SCV control display. Implement does not need to be in working (lowered) position to calibrate.

If acceptable performance is not reached after adjusting valve, adjust hydraulic flow rate on machine then readjust valve.

Basic Operation

SCV controller is set to AC mode (A) by placing SCV

•

into detent position. iGrade™ calculates elevation error using location of

•

StarFire™ Receiver(s) in relation to a desired elevation set by operator. When AUTO control is enabled and activated, and if

•

implement requires height adjustment to bring it back on desired grade, a signal is sent from iGrade™, through Application Controller harness, to machine SCV controller. SCV controller communicates instructions for sending

•

hydraulic fluid to implement control cylinder. Entire process returns to first step to continually monitor

•

for any implement elevation error. Constant adjustments are made to keep implement on desired grade.

NOTE: AUTO (B) indicates normal auto mode

Basic Operation

Dual Scrapers

Every receiver on CAN Bus is shown in display menu. Each receiver button contains receiver serial number and location (machine or implement).

Implement receivers are shown on display when they are connected to receiver application harness. When using dual scrapers, two implement receiver buttons are shown.

For dual scraper applications, SCV 1 must control front scraper and SCV 3 must control rear scraper. Verify on Implement receiver pages that each implement receiver correlates to respective SCV movement.

NOTE: It is crucial to system performance to use lowest

serial numbered receiver on front scraper and highest serial numbered receiver on rear scraper.

Dual scrapers require a receiver mounted on each

•

scraper. Implement harnesses accommodate multiple receivers.

•

NOTE: Stored planes or grades are same for both

SCVs when using same control type. Setting benchmark or zero point for front scraper also sets rear scraper.

For dual scraper applications, threshold calibrations must be performed for both SCV 1 and SCV 3.

Selecting same control type for SCV 1 and SCV 3

•

allows dual scrapers to control same plane or grade.

iGrade is a trademark of Deere & Company StarFire is a trademark of Deere & Company

Dual Scrapers

For best performance:

Mount receiver mast on center line of implement over

•

control point. Receiver offsets can be entered for iGrade™. When

•

using multiple implements, install receivers at same height from blade to receiver. If needed, adjust scraper offsets for application purposes.

NOTE: When operating dual scrapers, use same model

of receiver on both implements. Only use two StarFire™ iTC Receivers or two StarFire™ 3000 Receivers. Receivers calculate elevation differently.

When operating SWP+, use same receivers (StarFire™ iTC or StarFire™ 3000) for collecting elevation data for ditching operation.

Remote Control—Serial Port

Theory of Operation

The John Deere Application Controller allows the ability to connect with 3rd Party Software through the use of a serial connection. This functionality may be useful if you currently use an additional software package to provide capabilities such as cut/fill mapping and would like the John Deere Application Controller to connect and communicate with this software. After a serial connection

Message Definition

The John Deere Application Controller can use two types of command messages.

Elevation Setpoint

The 3rd Party software can send a commanded elevation to the Application Controller. The implement will be controlled such that the implement receiver elevation attempts to match the setpoint elevation. The message protocol is as follows:

$JD,ELEV, 274.32 Carriage Return

Where the elevation value is in meters and can handle two decimal places. Ensure that there are no spaces and that the carriage return ends the message.

is established, the 3rd Party Software can send setpoint commands that the Application Controller will use to automatically control elevation on an implement. This is accomplished using the serial port on the controller and the operation specific message protocols. The controller is also capable of retransmitting GPS data to the third party software using the same serial port, eliminating the need for an additional connection.

JS56696,00009A2 -19-25APR11-1/1

Depth Setpoint

The 3rd Party software can send a commanded depth to the Application Controller. The implement will be controlled such that the implement receiver elevation attempts to match the setpoint depth. When using this mode a machine receiver will be needed to calculate the elevation of the ground surface. Offsets will need to be used to account for height differences between the machine and implement receivers. The message protocol is as follows:

$JD,DEPTH, 1.54 Carriage Return

Where the depth value is in meters and can handle two decimal places. Ensure that there are no spaces and that the carriage return ends the message.

Grade Control

Theory of Operation

Grade Control automatically controls scraper to a defined slope over a GPS distance. Grade may be defined by the Grade Calculator or operator inputs (slope and direction) at point of origin on slope. Slope direction is calculated based on GPS logic. North corresponds to an angle of 0° and 360°. Angles increase clockwise in degrees with a full circle equaling 360°. Direction of travel does not affect grade and system automatically fills or cuts during uphill or downhill operation. The slope causes an increase in elevation over a given distance for uphill operations and decreases in elevation for downhill operations.

Plane Control

Theory of Operation

Plane Control automatically controls scraper to cut to defined plane. Defined planes can be a single sloped plane or a dual sloped plane. Planes may be defined by the Plane Calculator or operator inputs (slope and direction) for a set origin point on plane. Slope direction is calculated based on GPS logic and in the down slope direction. North corresponds to an angle of 0° and 360°. Angles increase clockwise in degrees with a full circle equaling 360°. The system allows operator to set up two independent planes that can be used as a cut and a fill plane.

The Plane Calculator can create a best fit plane based on recorded elevation data. Once all data has been collected, a best fit plane is created.

Plane Calculator

Theory of Operation

Plane calculator records a series of elevation points (approximately every 1.5 m [5 ft.]) and stores elevation data. When data collection is turned off, iGrade™ generates a best fit plane and displays calculated slope and direction. If given slope and direction look realistic, select Save to Active Plane button (A). Start (Stop) Data Collection (B) can continuously record by leaving data collection on or only record desired points of interest by turning data collection on and off between points to generate the best fit plane.

If calculated plane does not appear correct, collect and save more data points to active plane, or plane data can be cleared and collection restarted. Plane created displays in both Single and Dual Sloped Entries pages.

Tips

Use front scraper as SCV 1 to define plane, if utilizing

•

dual scrapers. Collecting more points results in better accuracy.

•

Scatter data points (do not drive in straight line unless

•

collecting data from the entire area). Clear plane data at start of every new plane. Uncleared

•

data is applied to current plane. Edit calculated plane information, if needed, through

•

Single or Dual Slope entry pages after saving created plane to active plane. Ensure that scraper remains in a constant position

•

during data collection (for example, in up position). Plane Calculator assumes a 1:1 cut-fill ratio.

•

Plane Calculator calculates a plane origin based on

•

height of implement receiver during data collection. Origin can be shifted to an actual on-grade point by selecting Set Plane Origin button in either Single Slope or Dual Slope Entry pages or by using offsets.

Maintenance

iGrade System

Being an electronic controller, minimal service is required to maintain performance levels. However, John Deere Ag Management Solution’s commitment to continued improvement and quality may lead to periodical software updates available for this controller. To maintain optimum performance, these updates should be loaded.

For the GreenStar system, this is accomplished when performing a “live update” using a connection to the StellarSupport™ website (www.stellarsupport.com). Updates, once downloaded, must be loaded onto a USB flash drive (A). After updating the USB flash drive, the next time the flash drive is inserted into the display console (B) the operating system will prompt the operator of available updates. Accepting updates will automatically update iGrade system to the most recent version.
