Task Parameters

Tip: Access this article if you wish to learn how to access the Configurations menu in order to adjust the Task Parameters.

On this screen, you can adjust the application width settings for the implement and perform its calibration.

Press Task parameters to configure the Application width and Calibration.

Application Width

Application width refers to how wide the implement will apply that specific product, which varies depending on the type of material being applied and disk settings.

Click on Application Width to open a box where you can manually enter your desired width. Press OK to confirm your changes.

Calibration

The calibration of an implement involves adjusting the equipment to ensure precise and efficient application of inputs.

It is recommended that the ECU be calibrated for every input type. To do so, press Calibration.

You will be directed to a page where you can view all inputs and have the option to add, edit, or delete them.

Adding an Input

To add an input, press + Add and you will be redirected to the page below.

Enter the input name, its description, and the associated machine.

Important: Use the description and machine fields to register relevant information for the calibration, such as the input description and gates opening adjustments used for this calibration. This may aid future operations, to adjust the machine just as it was in the previous operation, for an accurate application.

Once you are done, to save your changes, click Ok.

Tip: Clicking on Edit Calibration will also save your changes.
Tip: After adding an input, you can edit it by clicking this icon . You will then be able to modify the input name, description, and associated machine.

Deleting an Input

To delete an input, select it and click the trash can icon. A pop-up message will prompt you to confirm the deletion. Click Yes to proceed.

Now that you have added the inputs, you can proceed with the calibration.

Input Calibration

To adjust the equipment to ensure precise and efficient application of inputs, you will need to calibrate the implement with an input.

To do this, click on the input you want to calibrate and choose Edit calibration.

Important: Before initiating the calibration, verify the gain adjustment to ensure the sensor pulses are accurate.

To perform calibration, you will need to fill out the fields below:

  • Reference (rpm): Refers to the specific rotation speed in revolutions per minute that you want the equipment to operate during calibration.

  • Time: The length of time required to complete the calibration process.

For instance, in the image below, the reference speed is set to 300 rpm, and the duration is 30 seconds.

Important: The minimum recommended time to complete the calibration process is one minute. As for the reference value (rpm), it will be tested during installation to determine the maximum and minimum rotation speed, and a value of at least 1/3 of that maximum must be indicated
Tip: Before clicking the Start button, ensure that all preparations for collecting the input are complete. Make sure the appropriate container is properly positioned at the input’s exit to ensure efficient and smooth collection.

After filling out the Reference and Time fields, click Start to begin the calibration.

Information: An alert may appear indicating that sections are being opened, even if there are no sections. This is just a notice to wait a few seconds. Calibration will start shortly.

Once the length of time required to complete the calibration process has been reached, the calibration will stop automatically.

Then, you should fill out some fields with data collected from the calibration:

  • Weight (kg): During calibration, the accurate weight value for precise measurements is determined. After completing the calibration, enter the weight (in kilograms) value obtained into this field.

  • Revolutions: The system will automatically calculate and fill out the number of revolutions based on the calibration results.

  • Calibration (g/rev): Result of the current calibration, calculated based on the weight collected and the number of revolutions (grams per revolution).

  • Current Reference: Shows the variation in rpm (revolutions per minute).

  • Last Calibration: Displays the result of the previous calibration if it was performed. If not, it shows 0.

  • Fine Tuning: This involves making further adjustments based on the data collected during calibration.

Important: After completing the input calibration, run the controller in test mode to verify the calibration results and performance.

Next, you will learn how to adjust the Implement configuration.
