6.4 Machine settings

CAUTION

If a machine configuration needs to be done, keep in mind that an invalid machine configuration can damage the machine.

If the machine is equipped with WideLining, this has to be marked. The output will then not be switched off for the row units that indicate tramlining and the row units move laterally instead.

Machine settings display machine-specific settings, e.g. machine type, size, and which products and functions are that the machine supports. To access Machine settings activate “Advanced settings” in general settings; see Figure 5.

Figure 1. Machine settings

Machine product

  1. Select machine type.

  2. Maximum number of rows. The number of rows the machine is built for.

  3. Maximum Number of Rear Rows: Only selectable/visible for TPK machines. Defines the maximum number of rows positioned with a given offset behind the front rows. This is important for the correct presentation and calculation when using Task Control.

Figure 2. Machine settings products

  1. Wingspan (TPL and TPV only).

    For TPL machines the choices are “7.2 m or less or “8.1 m and more”

    For TPV machines the choices are “6.0 m or less or “6.5 m and more”

  2. Center Frame Type: Short/Long/Extended. Only for TPL with flexible wings.

  3. Central Fill (NO/2m³/3m³). TPL only.

    If this setting is switched on, a central grain hopper will be used, which will feed out to each row unit. This setting is only available for machines without fertiliser and with two WorkStations.

    2m³ grain hopper is used for Central Fill when applying fertiliser.

  4. Fertiliser.

    • None, 3m3, 5 m3 (TPL)

    • None, normal, front tank (TPF, TPV)

    • None, front tank (PCV)

  5. Fertiliser placement (Only for PCV).: Setting for choosing fertilizer placement: In-Row or Sideband depending on how the machine is built.

  6. Liquid Fertiliser : YES/NO

  7. Liquid Fertiliser Working Pressure

  8. Microgranulate YES/NO

  9. BioDrill, YES/NO

Figure 3. Machine settings functions

  1. Singulation YES/NO

  2. Central Fill Seed Agitator YES/NO

  3. Fertiliser agitator YES/NO. TPL only.

  4. Fertiliser Auger YES/NO. TPL only.

  5. Workligts YES/NO

  6. FH Work light YES/NO

  7. Hydraulic Wing folding YES/NO. TPF only

  8. Bout marker YES/NO

  9. Row Unit Downforce. Mechanical, central hydraulic, individual hydraulic; see Figure 5

  10. WideLining YES/NO. TPF, TPL, TPV only.

Figure 4. Machine settings sensors

Sensors

  1. Row unit seed output level YES/NO

  2. Number of height sensors. TPF only.

  3. Height sensor type. Internal sensor Voltage/ Internal sensor Current. Only for PCV.

  4. Outer height sensor type, Internal sensors, voltage/ Internal sensors, current. Only for TPF machines.

  5. Inner height sensor type, Internal sensors, voltage/ Internal sensors, current. Only for TPF machines with two sensors.

  6. Number of fertiliser sensors. Not selectable for TPL

  7. Fan pulses per revolution, seed

  8. Fan pulses per revolution, Central Fill. TPL only.

  9. Fan pulses per revolution, fertiliser, TPL only.

  10. Fan pulses per revolution, BioDrill
