GPS receiver

Satellite 1 – primary DGPS satellite. The DGPS receiver will connect to this satellite in the first instance.

Satellite 2 – secondary DGPS satellite. The DGPS receiver will only connect to this satellite in the event that the primary satellite fails.

Your satellite selection will depend on which satellite currently has the best availability in your region.

Possible values: ▪ “Auto”

The software automatically selects the current best satellite.

▪ Name of the satellite. Which satellites are shown here is dependent on the driver and correction

signal that you have activated.

Steering

This parameter activates the “Automatic steering” assistance function in the GPS receiver.

If you want to connect your existing GPS receiver to a steering job computer, you have to configure the “Steering” parameter.

Possible values: ▪ “Without automatic steering”

Deactivates automatic steering assistance.

▪ “TRACK-Leader TOP”

Activates automatic steering assistance with TRACK-Leader TOP.

▪ “TRACK-Leader AUTO”

Activates automatic steering assistance with TRACK-Leader AUTO.

Correction signal

Type of correction signal for the DGPS receiver.

The correction signals which are available is dependent on the activated driver.

Possible values: ▪ For the “A100, A101” driver:

– “WAAS/EGNOS”

Correction signal for Europe, North America, Russia and Japan.

– “E-DIF”

Internal calculation of correction data.

– GLIDE

– RTK radio(RTK licence required)

– RTK GSM(RTK licence required)

– TerraStar (RTK or L band licence required)

Information for GLIDE

If you have selected a correction signal with GLIDE, please note: ▪ Switch the GPS receiver off when driving on roads. ▪ After starting the systems each time, it takes ca. 5 minutes until the system is ready for

operation. Wait on the field to be worked during this time, before you start working.

▪ Ensure that the GPS receiver does not lose the GPS signal during work. (e.g. due to shadowing

by buildings or trees). If the signal gets lost, it can cause the GLIDE to restart. This can lead to track offset.

Information for TerraStar

If you have selected “TerraStar” as a correction signal, please note: ▪ There are two different TerraStar correction signals: TerraStar-C and TerraStar-L. These differ

mainly in their accuracies.

▪ The accuracies are available ca. 5 to 10 minutes after switching on the GPS receiver under the

open sky.

▪ If the GPS signal fails due to shadowing by buildings or trees, the full accuracy is available again

at the latest after ca. 5 minutes. For this reason, you should avoid driving along rows of trees or buildings.

▪ During the convergence, the GPS receiver and the vehicle should not be moved and the location

should not be changed.

Baud rate of the receiver on port B

Only appears when the “RTK radio” correction signal is selected.

If you are using a GPS receiver with a radio modem from a third-party manufacturer, the baud rate must be adjusted in some cases. The baud rate must then correspond to that of the radio modem. The baud rate for radio modems manufactured by Müller-Elektronik is always 19.200 baud.

Correction during RTK failure

This parameter is only required if you are using the SMART-6L DGPS receiver with a steering system.

Possible values: ▪ automatic

The parameter is activated. When there is an RTK failure, a deviation arises between the current position of the vehicle and the GPS position.

Managing the tractor profiles

Tractor profiles are used to store important features of the tractor on which the terminal is installed.

This offers the following advantages: ▪ You can use the terminal on several tractors. Each time you change tractors, you can activate

the fitting tractor profile.

▪ Even if the terminal is always installed on one tractor, you can create several profiles for one

tractor.

You can use between 1 and 31 tractor profiles.

The number of tractor profiles depends on several factors: ▪ Purpose of the terminal:

– If you switch the mounted implement manually, or are using an implement for which cm-

accuracy is not required, one tractor profile per tractor is enough.

– If you are not using TRACK-Leader and SECTION-Control, you probably do not need

tractor profiles.

Managing the tractor profiles

– If you are working with SECTION-Control and ISOBUS planters/seeders or field sprayers,

the distance between the GPS receiver and the coupling is decisive. For this reason, you need one profile in which you measure the distance to the lower link in the geometry, and one profile in which you measure the distance to the drawbar.

▪ Number of tractors with different equipment and different geometries.

For self-propelled machines (e.g. field sprayers), you must use a tractor profile with the following settings: ▪ “Connection with ISOBUS-TC?” parameter - Ensure that this parameter is properly set. ▪ “Speed” parameter

– GPS receiver - If a GPS receiver is connected to the terminal and is used to determine the

speed.

– Wheel sensor, radar sensor via CAN bus - If a speed sensor is connected to the junction

box of the ISOBUS job computer, this setting allows you to use the speed display of the Tractor-ECU.

▪ Geometry: For self-propelled machines, the geometry is generally entered in the field sprayer job

computer. For this reason, you do not need to enter any distances in the Tractor-ECU.

Managing virtual job computers

Virtual ECU application

The Virtual ECU application (or VECU for short) is used to create virtual job computers for the following implements: ▪ Implements that do not have their own job computer. For example: Cultivators, ploughs,

mechanical seeders, etc.

▪ Machines that are operated using an on-board integrated display/controller connected to the

serial interface.

▪ Crop protection sensors that are connected serially to the terminal.

Each virtual job computer contains the most important features of the respective machine (working width, geometry, type of on-board integrated display/controller) and provides these to other applications if required.

Task management (ISOBUS-TC)

Configuring ISOBUS-TC

Task management (ISOBUS-TC)

The ISOBUS-TC application has two jobs: ▪ As Task Controller, the application controls all of the relevant data between the terminal and

other implements that are connected to the ISOBUS or terminal (Part 11 of the standard ISO11783).

▪ As Task Manager, the application enables the creation and editing of ISO-XML tasks. This also

enables communication with Farm Management Information Systems (Part 10 of the standard ISO11783).

The jobs performed by the application depend on how the “Operating Mode” parameter is configured. ▪ “Standard” - Only the Task-Controller jobs ▪ “Extended” - Task-Controller and Task-Manager jobs

Configuring ISOBUS-TC

The “farmpilot” parameter

This parameter shows the status of the connection to the “farmpilot” portal.

“Operating Mode” parameter

With this parameter, you can set whether the Task Controller of ISOBUS-TC should work in the background or if you want to work actively with ISO-XML tasks. ▪ “Standard” - Two working methods are possible here.

Working method 1:

– All task data is managed through the “TRACK-Leader” app.

– In ISOBUS-TC, you cannot create any tasks.

– In this operating mode, ISOBUS-TC works in the background.

Working method 2:

– You can load field data from a shape file (field boundaries, guidance lines) in ISOBUS-TC.

This field data is made available in the “TRACK-Leader” app. Also possible without an ISOBUS-TC license.

– After activating the ISOBUS-TC license, you can edit shape prescription maps.

– In ISOBUS-TC, you cannot create any tasks.

▪ “Extended” - In this operating mode, the ISOBUS-TC menu is extended. The ISOBUS-TC

license is required. In this mode, ISOBUS-TC serves to manage and process ISO-XML tasks. Two working methods are possible here. Working method 1:

– You can manage and process ISO-XML tasks using a Farm Management Information

System.

Working method 2:

– You can create and manage master data yourself in the ISOBUS-TC app.

In these instructions, only the standard mode will be explained. The extended mode is described in the separate instructions for ISOBUS-TC.

Configuring ISOBUS-TC

1. - Open the ISOBUS-TC application.

2. Tap “Settings”.

3. Tap “Operating Mode”.

4. Tap “Extended” if you want to work with tasks. Tap “Standard” to be able to work without tasks.

- Confirm.

⇨ You will be asked whether you want to change the setting.

6. Tap “Yes” if you want to confirm this.

⇨ All data will be saved and the operating mode will be switched.

7. Wait until all messages have faded out.

What happens with the data?

The data structure is different in the two operating modes. After changing the mode, the task and field data will be saved. When switching again, the stored data will be loaded.

“TC number” parameter

Number of the Task-Controller. For complex systems with multiple terminals and Task-Controllers, several Task-Controllers can be distinguished based on this number. If need be, you can control which Task-Controller the connected job computer should communicate with.

“Prefer internal Tractor-ECU?” parameter

This parameter is important on vehicles that have their own Tractor-ECU in addition to the ME terminal.

Activate the parameter if the GPS receiver is connected to the ME terminal or to the TRACK-Leader AUTO steering system. Deactivate the parameter if the GPS receiver is connected to a different terminal.

“Save finished tasks as a file?” parameter

If this parameter is activated, all ISO-XML tasks are saved on the memory device as a text file.

“Validation of the device description” parameter

Optional parameter. Deactivated per default.

Please note that when the parameter is activated, Task-Controller version 3 is supported. If the parameter is deactivated, Task-Controller version 2 is supported.

Only activate this parameter if you want to ensure that SECTION-Control and ISOBUS-TC only communicate with AEF-compliant job computers.

Job computers that are not AEF-compliant are not supported by ISOBUS-TC in this case.

“Simplified target rate assignment?” parameter

Optional parameter. Set to “No” per default.

When you activate this parameter, the target rate settings from the previous task can be adopted for a new task. To do so, you must set the parameter to “Yes”.

When you then create a new task, the following message appears:

“Should be target rate settings for the implement be adopted from the previous task?”

Confirm this message to adopt the target rate settings.

Configuring the list of connections

The list of connections indicates the ISOBUS job computers from which the terminal will load the geometries of the connected implements. This geometry is required in order to calculate the position of all implement components on the basis of the GPS signal. Only in this way are precise parallel guidance and section control possible.

ISO name of the tractor

Icon for the ISOBUS job computer

Not all of the equipment in the list must be connected.

In simple systems, the terminal can set up the list of connections automatically. In particular, when the ME terminal is the only unit containing the tractor geometry.

It can however still be necessary to set the list of connections 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 connections is incomplete.”

Data on the memory device

During work with TRACK-Leader, two types of data are produced: ▪ Tracks - Everything that is marked in green on the screen. This data describes one single work

process.

– The tracks are automatically saved in TRACK-Leader as soon as the field is deactivated in

ISOBUS-TC.

– You are in the “ngstore” folder on the USB memory device.

– They could be imported for evaluation with TRACK-Guide Desktop.

– Each field is given the name ISOBUS-TC--PFD. Whereby PFD stands for the PFD number

of the field in ISOBUS-TC. For example: ISOBUS-TC--2

▪ Changing of fixed field data: Field boundaries, guidance lines, obstacles. This data is not only

important for one work process, it can also be used in the future.

Transferring field data to a different terminal

To transfer all field data to a different terminal:

 Operating mode of ISOBUS-TC: Standard

1. Terminal 1: Export all field data to a USB memory device. [➙ 72]

2. Terminal 2: Create the field profiles once again. [➙ 70]

– This data is saved as shp files in the “SHP” folder.

3. Terminal 2: Import all field boundaries, guidance lines etc. from a USB memory device. [➙ 72]

Using prescription maps

Prescription maps are maps that contain information on the quantity of a product (fertilizer, seed, pesticide) to be spread/applied on each area of the field.

When the prescription map has been loaded, the terminal checks via GPS coordinates of the vehicle what application rates are needed according to the prescription map and transfers this information to the appropriate ISOBUS job computer.

ISO-XML prescription maps

Prescription maps in ISO-XML format are created in an electronic Farm Management Information System and are transmitted to the terminal with an ISO-XML task.

The ISOBUS-TC license is required to edit them.

Working with ISO-XML tasks is described in the instructions for ISOBUS-TC.

MULTI-Control

After activating the MULTI-Control license, you can use the ISOBUS-TC app to assign multiple prescription maps to a machine.

This is necessary in two cases: ▪ MULTI-Rate - If the machine applies only one product that is metered by several metering units.

For example, a field sprayer with two tanks and two control manifolds.

▪ MULTI-Product - If the machine has several tanks that are used to apply different products at

different rates. For example: Planter/seeder with liquid fertilizer.
