AUTO SECTION CONTROL SETUP
Auto Section Control setup is entered on the IntelliAg virtual terminal. The
following Auto Section Control screens must be configured to perform Auto
Section Control functions.
• GPS Setup/Calibration
• System Setup
• Selecting a Task
GPS SETUP
GPS setup and calibration is required for the system to know implement
position in relation to the GPS receiver mounting location on the tractor and
effectively operate Auto Section control.
IMPORTANT: A minimum 5 Hz GPS receiver is required for
communication with the Auto Section Control system.
Any receiver less than 5 Hz will not provide adequate
communication to run the Auto Section Control system.
GPS SOURCE
The Auto Section Control system communicates with the GPS receiver
using either:
• CAN (GPS receiver signal broadcast over CAN)
• RS232 (GPS receiver connected to RS232 port)
If using an RS232 GPS source, the receiver must be connected to the Auto
Section Control terminal to prevent any additional system communication
delays.
GPS LAG
GPS lag time is the amount of delayed communication time in seconds that
occurs between the Auto Section Control system and the GPS receiver. A
GPS calibration is required to define the GPS lag time.
BAUD RATE AND DATA MODE (RS232 ONLY)
Baud Rate and Data Mode are communication signals as defined by the
manufacturer of the GPS receiver. Reference the receiver manual for
settings.
GPS OUTPUT
The GPS Output setting converts an RS232 output to CAN in a NMEA 2000
format and should be enabled when the following conditions occur:
• Using an RS232 receiver and
• Using Task Controller functionality
The default setting is disabled.
