INTRODUCTION / 1
INTRODUCTION
The IntelliAg application controller is a precision farming system that
provides communication between the implement and tractor. Because
IntelliAg is designed to the ISO11783 standard, it is interchangeable with
other manufacturers’ compatible equipment.
The DICKEY-john IntelliAg system can be used with:
• Sprayers
• Fertilizer spreaders
• Anhydrous applicators
• Planters
• Air seeders (strip till/seeding)
FEATURES
• Controls hydraulic valves (pulse-width modulated and servo)
• Variable rate applications
• Logs “as applied” data
• Monitors up to 196 rows of seeding
• Monitors inputs such as hopper level, air pressure, and shaft speed
• Retains information in the event of a power failure
• Full screen alarms identify abnormal or failed operation on all enabled
system component/controls
MAIN WORK SCREEN
The Main Work screen is divided into 4 areas ( Figure 1 ):
1. Enabled system applications
2. Main Work Screen area that displays application control status
3. IntelliAg functions
4. Row Indicators that monitor seed rate
Operations are turned on and off using an installed Master Switch or
utilizing an assigned Master Switch On/Off button on the VT.
The Virtual Terminal (VT) is in Operate mode when the Master Switch is in
the ON position and the implement is down. In this mode, all enabled
system components and control channels are operational, as well as all
monitoring functions and system accumulators.
When the Master Switch is in the OFF position or the implement is raised,
all control and row monitoring functions cease.
