OmniSeed Section Control
Switch Box Setup
When used with the OmniSeed system, the Raven CAN switch box must be properly configured to control
granular and liquid sections appropriately. To check the Raven CAN switch box setup:
1.
Touch the Product Control status indicator in the lower, left corner of the main screen.
2.
Touch within the Section Cals area in the upper, left corner of the CAN Controller Status screen. The
Section Select screen will be displayed
Note:
Settings on the Section Select screen are locked during job applications. Be sure the Section
Select screen is properly configured for applications before starting or resuming job applications.
Refer to the Section Selection section on page 68 for details on setting the Section Select screen for a
specific implement or drill configuration.
Section Control Aggressiveness Factor
The look-ahead values set the amount of time ahead of the vehicle (based on vehicle speed) which the field
computer will scan for zone boundaries or un-applied areas when turning sections on or off. By default, the
automatic section control feature overrides any additional zone boundaries detected until the look-ahead time
has passed. For example, if the turn-on look-ahead value is set to 5 seconds and system detects an un-applied
area 5 seconds ahead of a section, the system toggles that section on and will ignore subsequent commands
to turn that section off for the next 5 seconds until the section has entered the un-applied area.
For sections at the end of larger sections or where sharp turns or aggressive maneuvering is necessary, this
override may cause unexpected skips in coverage. The aggressiveness factor uses the user defined look-
ahead values to adjust section control response for these driving styles and/or field areas requiring aggressive
maneuvering when crossing apply zones.
The section control aggressiveness factor adds a percentage of the current turn-on or turn-off look-ahead
setting to the time which the automatic section control feature overrides subsequent zone boundaries.
