Job computer functions
The ECU-MIDI slurry tanker job computer is an ISOBUS job computer that can control the operation
of slurry tankers.
The ISOBUS job computer is the control central of the slurry tanker. Several sensors are connected
to the job computer, which monitor important implement parts. The job computer controls the
implement based on these signals and on the operator's specifications. An ISOBUS terminal serves
as an interface. All implement-specific data is stored in the job computer and is therefore maintained
even when changing the terminal.
Among other things, the job computer can perform the following tasks:
▪ Control of various implements
– Arable injector
– Grassland injector
– Trailing hose distributor
– Trailing shoe distributor
– Splash plate
▪ Control of all hydraulic functions
▪ Control of up to 18 sections
▪ Control of various filling arms (front, top, side)
▪ Monitoring of the application
▪ Control of the tramline valves
▪ Control of a tyre inflation system
▪ Monitoring of the steering system
▪ Various speed sources
▪ Application and filling using defined sequences
System overview
The system consists of one or several job computers that are mounted on the slurry tanker and
control the operation.

⇨
Installing the junction box
Take note of the following when selecting the installation location:
▪ Ensure that cables cannot be damaged by the moving implement.
▪ The cable glands must be facing downwards.
Connecting the sensors and actuators to the junction box
Every sensor and every actuator that is mentioned in the pin-out diagram must be connected to the
connection in the junction box mentioned in the pin-out diagram.
This can be done in two ways:
▪ The sensor or actuator ends with a short cable and an AMP connector.
In this case, you will receive a fitting extension cable for each sensor. You must insert the
extension cable in the junction box and connect it to the fitting terminal.
▪ The sensor or actuator ends with a long cable without a connector. You have to insert it in the
junction box and connect it to the fitting terminal.
The terminal to which you must connect the cable core depends on the respective implement and on
the type of sensor or actuator.
Please note that the cable cores for the ultrasonic sensor trigger always need to be connected to Pins
2 and 3.
When exchanging the polarity of cable cores, machine sensors can be damaged by a short-circuit.
The junction box is not powered.
There is no voltage on the components to be connected.
1. Remove the cable coating so that all cable cores are exposed.
2. Insert the cable to the end of the coat. There should only be cable cores inside the junction box.
The cable coating must end at the junction box casing. This is the only way to ensure that you
have enough space in the junction box to be able to guide all of the cable cores to the terminals.
3. Remove the cable coating of the cable cores ca. 1 cm from the end of the cable core.
4. CAUTION! Pay attention to the proper polarity of the cable cores and the terminals.
5. Connect the cable cores to the terminals.
To do so, use the information on the lid of the junction box, on the relay circuit board and in the
pin-out diagram.
6. With screw terminals, use wire end sleeves. Wire end sleeves may not be used with spring-
loaded terminal blocks.

Inserting the cable core into a terminal
Each terminal consists of two openings:
▪ The upper opening of the terminal opens the lower opening.
▪ The bottom opening of the terminal serves to insert and clamp one cable core.
You have prepared a small flat screwdriver that fits the upper opening of the terminal. You only
need this screwdriver if there are no wire end sleeves on the cable cores.
You have cut the cable to the proper length and have exposed the cable cores according to the
instructions, or you have a finished cable from Müller Elektronik.
The tractor engine is switched off.
The junction box is not powered.
There is no voltage on the components to be connected.
1. Find the proper connectors for the cable cores to be connected.
To do so, use the information on the lid of the junction box, on the relay circuit board and in the
pin-out diagram.
2. Insert the cable core into the opening in the lower part of the terminal. If you are not using wire
end sleeves, you first have to use the screwdriver.
⇨ The cable core will be held by the terminal.
⇨ You have clamped the cable core.

Setting target rate
Use the following parameter on the “SETTINGS” screen to define how much slurry should be applied
on an area.
▪ “Target Rate”
Defines how much slurry should be applied per hectare.
▪ “Unit”
Defines the unit that should be used for the metering, depending on whether you want to
measure the volume or the mass.
– “Regul. (Vol.)”
– “Regul. (Mass)”
– “Reg. Phosphorus”
– “Reg. Nitrogen”
– “Reg. Ammonia”
– “Reg. Pottasium”
▪ “Density”
Defines the density of the slurry.
▪ “Regul. factor”
Defines the adjustment of the flow rate for the speed. This should ensure that the applied volume
of slurry corresponds exactly to the defined target rate.
The regulation factor adjusts the reaction speed of the regulation:
– The higher the regulation factor, the faster the flow rate is adjusted.
– The lower the regulation factor, the more slowly the flow rate is adjusted.
When setting the regulation factor, you can pay attention to the following:
– If, during movement at constant speed, the current application rate jumps around the target
rate, you need to reduce the regulation factor.
– If, when the speed changes, the application rate does not adjust to the target rate quickly
enough, you need to increase the regulation factor.

Calibrating the flow meter
You must calibrate the flow meter in the following cases:
▪ Prior to initial start-up.
▪ At the start of each season.
▪ If you notice that there are deviations between the applied quantity and the displayed quantity.
▪ After repairs performed on the flow meter.
If the calibration is imprecise, the calculations will be very inaccurate and the application imprecise.
Risk of poisoning or corrosion
◦ Clean the tank before calibration.
◦ Only use clear water for the calibration.
The tank is filled with water. You need several hundred litres of water.
You have a method for measuring the quantity of applied water.
The pump is switched on.
1. Drive the slurry tanker to a position where you can apply the water without any problems.
2. On the work screen, press:
