ISOBUS-TC task processing

Using ISOBUS-TC

The ISOBUS-TC application is an application from Mueller-Electronics which establishes an interface between the ISOBUS job computer, the TRACK-Leader application and the FMIS (Farm Management Information System) on the ISOBUS terminal.

With ISOBUS-TC, you can: ▪ Plan and edit ISO-XML tasks on the terminal, ▪ Edit ISO-XML tasks which you have planned on the PC using your FMIS.

All information contained in the order will be transferred by ISOBUS-TC to specialized applications of the terminal. This means that each application is doing exactly what it can do best: ▪ The position of the field is transferred to FIELD-Nav. It can therefore navigate the vehicle directly

to the field.

▪ The field boundaries, guidance lines, prescription maps and other information about processed

fields stored in the task are transferred to TRACK-Leader. The field can be therefore processed.

▪ The target rates are transferred from a prescription map to the ISOBUS job computer. In this

way, you do not have to worry about inputting the target rates.

▪ ISOBUS-TC documents work duration, and the persons, implements and resources involved.

Adjusting how you use ISOBUS-TC

First of all, you must decide how you will use the ISOBUS-TC application. The operation of ISOBUSTC and TRACK-Leader is dependent on this setting.

There are two scenarios in which you can use ISOBUS-TC. Use the "Work with ISO-XML?" parameter to set the scenario you will work with: ▪ "Yes"

Select this setting if you set up tasks on your PC or if you want to set up tasks on the terminal. In this instance, you must always start a task before you start work. Only then does the data exchange between ISOBUS-TC, TRACK-Leader and the ISOBUS-job computer function. You will need a "ISOBUS-TC" license for this.

▪ "No"

Select this setting if you do not use tasks. Instead, you use application maps in shp format or enter the application rates directly into the ISOBUS-job computer. In this instance, ISOBUS-TC only works in the background. You will not need a license for this. You can also skip the other sections of the instructions regarding ISOBUS-TC.

You can change the mode of the "ISOBUS-TC" application as follows:

1. Change to "Settings" screen:

If you are not using the ISOBUS-TC application, you can configure the list of connections as follows:  All ISOBUS job computers are connected to the ISOBUS.

ISOBUS-TC task processing

Configuring the list of connections

1. Open the ISOBUS-TC application.

– Open the screen with the list of connection.

⇨ The following screen will appear:

⇨ A list will appear with all of the equipment connected to the ISOBUS. The connectors

appear between the equipment.

- Press the rotating knob in the top row in order to select the first device. If you are using an ME terminal to which a GPS receiver is connected, insert the ME-Tractor-ECU application in the top row. If another terminal or tractor job computer contains the geometry, you can set this.

4. The agricultural implement which is connected to the rear ISOBUS socket should appear in the second line. Select a device in the row for the second device.

5. You now only need to select the appropriate connector between the two devices. Press the rotating knob in the line between two devices and select the appropriate connector for each device.

In simple systems, the terminal can set up the list of connections automatically. In particular, when the ME terminal is the only unit which contains the tractor geometry (see: Entering the position of the

GPS Receiver [➙ 63] It can however still be necessary to set the list of connection manually in the following instances:

▪ If a tractor job computer (Tractor-ECU), in which the tractor geometry is saved, is mounted as an

independent job computer on the tractor. In this instance, you must decide which Tractor-ECU is connected in the list of connections with other equipment: the application on the ME terminal or on the tractor job computer.

▪ If the system cannot organize the ISOBUS job computer by itself. For example when more than

one implement is connected to the tractor (e.g.: slurry tanker and planter/seeder).

▪ When the connection to an ISOBUS job computer is interrupted during the start-up of a ISO-XML

task. In most cases, the list of connections will be set correctly as soon as you reconnect the ISOBUS job computer.

▪ If this error message appears when starting the terminal: "List of connection is incomplete." ▪ When the following error message appears when starting a navigation in TRACK-Leader: "The

device data is still loading." The settings in the list of connections can eliminate this problem.

Transfer target rates via LH5000

Serial Interface application

The "Serial Interface" application is used to enable communication between the terminal and a nonISOBUS compatible on-board computer.

This interface enables you to use all of the applications together with the GPS signal and the onboard computers, in order to:

▪ Transfer target rates (using the LH-5000 protocol or the ASD protocol); [➙ 69] ▪ Switch sections on and off (using the ASD protocol). [➙ 70]

So that you do not need to reconfigure the application each time, you can create an individual profile for each on-board computer.

- Signals marked with 1 correspond to the CiA assignment (CAN in automation).

Both signals CAN_L and CAN_L

and/or CAN_H and CAN_H1 are linked internally and used to loop

the CAN bus through. Assigning CAN_EN_in to the supply potential (= +Vin) enables the terminal to be switched on. The signals '-Vin' and 'CAN_GND' are directly linked with both connectors, therefore it is crucial to

avoid differences in potential between the pins of these two connectors.
