2.1 Väderstad E-Services
All machine functions are controlled and monitored from
the tractor cab using a control unit.
Väderstad offers two different alternatives for controlling
and monitoring the machine. All of these systems can
control all of the machine’s functions, but there are
variations in the way the systems are operated and
connected up. This manual only describes E-Control and
ISOBUS.
2.2 Overview
E-Control/ISOBUS
Figure 2.1
• E-Control – controlling and monitoring the machine
with an iPad.
• GW (Gateway) – control unit that processes and
stores machine data.
2.3 Gateway
Figure 2.2
Gateway is the brain of the E-Control and ISOBUS
systems. It communicates with the iPad and/or VT
(Virtual Terminal) and stores all of the machine’s settings
and important data related to its functions, alarms, etc.
Every seed drill has its own Gateway.
Gateway is compatible with ISO 11783 and requires an
ISOBUS terminal (Virtual Terminal) running version 3 or
4. Väderstad AB’s website contains a list of tested
terminals; visit
www.vaderstad.com for more information.
2.4 iPad (E-Control)
Figure 2.3 E-Control
E-Control consists of an iPad 1 that can be combined with
a special dock that is called the E-Keeper . The
communication between the iPad and the machine’s
Gateway takes place wirelessly via a Wi-Fi connection.
Gateway receives and processes all commands. E-Control
has a large touchscreen with coloured menus which make
it easy to operate. The e-keeper features a number of
buttons that are used to control and navigate the most
important functions while driving in the field.
2.5 Software
Väderstad has an application, E-Control, which is a
program that can be used to control your Väderstad
machine from an iPad. The application is installed on the
iPad delivered with the machine (does not apply for all
countries) and comes with the necessary settings for
network connection pre-installed at the factory.
Open the Väderstad application using the icon for “E-
Control” . The terminal imports the software from
the machine’s Gateway and all important data on machine
functions, alarms, etc. are presented in a clear and easy-
to-read way on the screen.
• The terminal will determine the appearance and
function of submenus in the form of e.g. keyboards
and scroll bars. Please read the terminal’s user guide
for information on operation.
2.6 E-Keeper
An iPad holder is available as an accessory for the
touchscreen. The e-keeper offers a firm grip for the user
and there are a number of easily accessible buttons to
control the functions that are most frequently used while
driving.
