18 / INTELLIAG PDC SETUP
CLUTCH CONFIGURATION
Clutch module configuration is required to:
• Identify how many planter output modules are connected to the
IntelliAg system
• Assign how many outputs are assigned to each output module
• Assign how many rows are assigned to each output
• Assign row shutoff module switches to outputs that enable and disable
planter sections
MULTIPLE TRU COUNT OUTPUT MODULE ASSIGNMENT
Output module addresses are a critical parameter used to identify a
module’s position on the implement that will control row shutoff switches.
IMPORTANT: If a planter uses more than one output module, modules
MUST be installed in increasing serial number order
starting on the left side and proceeding to the right so
that row assignment is configured correctly.
TRU COUNT OUTPUT MODULE ASSIGNMENT
The Clutch Module Configuration screens displays:
• Module address
• Type
• Number of outputs per module
To enter # of Outputs per Module:
1. At the IntelliAg Main Work screen, press the Module Configuration
button.
2. At the Module Configuration screen, press the Clutch Module button.
3. Enter the number of solenoid outputs connected to the specific TCOM.
Outputs do NOT always total the number of clutches but the total
number of controlled solenoids. The Output Numbers (#s) value is
automatically sequenced for each module based on the module
address value.
4. Enter the shutoff delay times for engaging and disengaging clutches.
Delay times vary based on manufacturer. Refer to ( Figure 20 ) for
recommended clutch delay times.
Delay time defaults for both turning on and shutting off is set at 0.0 seconds
on the Clutch Configuration screen.
IMPORTANT: The shutoff delay time is a mechanical delay for
engaging and disengaging clutches. Seconds entered
at this screen will increase the look-ahead time when
shutting off and turning on rows controlled at the Auto
Section Control screens. Shutoff delay times can effect
accuracy of Run in and Run Out functionality.
