Settings for sowing:
Figure 1.
Shut-off by row
Number of sections = Maximum number of sections that are sent to the TaskControll screen. If this is exceeded, then several row units will share one section.
Example: a 32-row machine with a maximum number of 16 sections installed, results in only 16 sections being reported on the screen.
Variable feed rate according to the control file ON/OFF.
Section Offset X = Distance between the ground contact point and the application point.
SC Turn On Time = Time compensation for seed transportation (switch on)
Example: if it takes 0.3 seconds (300 ms) for seeds to reach the seed coulter after the motor has started rotating, then the setting in this field should be 0.3 seconds (300 ms). This means that the motor start rotating 0.3 seconds (300 ms) before the expected switch on.
SC Turn Off Time = Time compensation for seed transportation (switch off)
Example: if it takes 0.3 seconds (300 ms) for seeds to reach the seed coulter after the motor has stopped rotating, then the setting in this field should be 0.3 seconds (300 ms). This means that the motor stops rotating 0.3 seconds (300 ms) before the expected shut off
Time compensation when changing the variable rate. Example: If it takes 1.0 s (1000 ms) for the system to adjust the new rate, the setting will be 1000 ms.
Settings for fertiliser dispensing
Figure 2.
Shut-off by row, micro granulate/ BioDrill/ fertiliser/ liquid fertiliser.
Three options are possible:
Same as shut-off by row for sowing (A).
Specific shut-off by row for micro granulate/ BioDrill/ fertiliser/ liquid fertiliser.
No shut-off by row
Number of sections, micro granulate/ BioDrill/ fertiliser/ liquid fertiliser.
Variable feed rate according to the control file ON/OFF.
Section Offset X = Distance between the ground contact point and the application point
ImportantOffset is indicated by a positive value in the direction of travel. If the application point is located behind the gauge wheels, a negative value is set.
SC Turn On Time = Time compensation for seed transportation (switch on)
Example: If it takes 0.3 seconds (300 ms) for seeds to reach the seed coulter after the motor has begun rotating, then the setting in this field should be 0.3 seconds (300 ms). This means that the motor begins rotating 0.3 seconds (300ms) before the expected switch on. Units in this field should be entered in ms.
NoteUnits in this field should be entered in ms.
SC Turn Off Time = Time compensation for seed transportation (switch off)
Example: if it takes 0.3 seconds (300 ms) for seeds to reach the seed coulter after the motor has stopped rotating, then the setting in this field should be 0.3 seconds (300 ms). This means that the motor stops rotating 0.3 seconds (300 ms) before the expected shut off.
NoteUnits in this field should be entered in ms.
Time compensation when changing the variable rate. Example: If it takes 1.0 s (1000 ms) for the system to adjust the new rate, the setting will be 1000 ms.
