PLANT SPACING CONTROL
1. INTRODUCTION
The PSC (Plant Spacing Control) hydraulic drive offers automatic digital control of manual and
automatic Ferrari transplanters, making adjustment of the distance versatile and immediate. There
are several advantages in using the PSC.
With the PSC you can set and accurately obtain the distance on the row of plants, and also monitor
the machine’s work through the numerous parameters displayed.
Using the operator panel with LCD screen you can set the distance in a range from 1 to 99.9
centimetres (with a resolution of 1 millimetre), display in real time the travel speed, the speed in
plants/hour and plants/hectare.
There is also a historical data log: number of total and partial working hours, number of total and
partial hectares worked and number of total and partial plants transplanted. All partial data can be
reset singularly.
During testing, you can simulate the machine’s travel speed to check that the device works
properly
with the special “Simulation” mode.
You can also constantly monitor the supply voltage on the operator panel to ensure correct
operation of the system.
