System Introduction

Software Version 2.11
CAN Bus Versatility and Value
The Legacy 6000 utilizes CAN Bus technology, a new industry standard, which Mid-Tech us es to
execute precise product contr ol in an env iro nm e nt mor e rob ust tha n an y of its predecessors.
What is a CAN Bus and why use one?
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a system comprised of independent, intelligent modules connected by a single high-speed cable, known as a bus, over which all the data in the system travels.
CAN was originally developed for the automotive industry to provide a cost effective means for a
large number of electronic functions or systems to be interconnected without large, expensive and
troublesome wiring harnesses.
Within a CAN system, each module contains its own microprocessor. All modules share a standard protocol or communication sequence, which conforms to the ISO 11898 standard. Since
modules have built-in computing power, a CAN system is extremely flexible and easily expands to
meet a customer's needs.
Individual modules have a specific and unique function to execute, as well as the responsibility to
constantly report that function and its current status. Data on the CAN is available many times a
second allowing the operation of a very fast, responsive control system.
The Legacy 6000 uses 5 types of modules, each having a unique function. Each described in
more detail below. The console in the cab is one of these modules and serves as the user interface. The remaining modules are positioned around the chassis close to the area they influence.
For instance, the Product Control Mo dule (PCM) con nects to the actuator and senso r and controls
the actual release of the product. To upgrade from one-product to three-product application (or
more) is simply a matter of adding additional PCM's to the system.

Plug any standard submeter GPS receiver and Mid-Tech's CAN based Swath XL lightbar into the
Legacy 6000 system, and enjoy straight-line, curved or center pivot guidance at your command.
Application maps can be viewed on the Legacy 6000 display as you apply. Cross track error , ar ea
applied, application rates, and other vital information display on the Swath XL lightbar in real time.
Features of Mid-Tech's Fieldware software, developed specifically for the Legacy 6000, include:
• Application Rate Management - permits precise fixed or variable rate application.
• Extensive Product Control Module setup.
• Full system calibration including, granular, liquid, liquid injection and distance.
• CAN Bus, GPS receiver and lightbar diagnostics.
• Create application jobs keeping track of customer, weather and product information.
• Large product database with over 4000 entries co ntaining product name, formulation , and EP A
number.
• Integrated guidance using straight line, h eadland , or center pivo t modes, p lus text repor ting to
the lightbar, in one easy to use format.
• Report generation - full application report s and map s can be generated in Field ware Map Manager PC software at the end of the day. An application report contains a map of the application, customer information, product information, as well as weather, field, and soil conditions.
