TASK CONTROLLER / 155
TASK CONTROLLER
The following functionality is specific to those systems using Task
Controller. Systems with no file server or task controller functionality will not
have the below features.
IMPLEMENT OFFSET
To determine implement offset, the Y coordinates are required entries to
establish the calculation from the center of each control channel location to
the rear hitch connection in inches. The vehicle coordinates for each
control channel are used to calculate Field Area 1, 2, and Total Area
accumulators.
NOTE: For those systems using Task Controller, both X and Y coordinate
entries are required for GPS navigation and field area accumulators.
Reference the Task Controller section for setup instructions.
IMPORTANT: A Control Channel Type must be established first before
implement coordinates can be entered. A channel type
established as an RPM Control will not allow entry of x, y
coordinates.
NOTE: Position of coordinates to the hitch/GPS receiver point will
determine if the number is entered as positive (+) or negative (-).
To enter an Implement Offset:
1. From the Control Setup screen, press the Link Offset button.
CALCULATING IMPLEMENT OFFSET
Implement Offset is the distance from the center of a control channel to the
hitch connection or GPS receiver point.
From behind the implement facing tractor:
– Channels to the left of the hitch/GPS receiver point (negative entry)
(-y)
– Channels to the right of the hitch/GPS receiver point (positive entry)
(+y)
