– 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.
