Daisy Chain Blockage

Product catalog summary
Overview: The DICKEY-john Daisy Chain Air Seeder Blockage System (DCBS) enhances air seeder monitoring by providing improved performance through two-way communication. It simplifies the detection of blockages in seed and fertilizer flow, alerting users to blocked or faulty sensors.
System Architecture: The system comprises a blockage module and daisy chain blockage sensors. Each module and sensor is displayed on a virtual terminal, showing critical system parameters for the selected loop. The architecture supports advanced diagnostics for quick identification of issues related to sensors, communication, and power.
Blockage Module Features:
  • Manages up to 4 modules per system, each monitoring up to 108 blockage sensors split between 2 loops.
  • Bi-directional communication with sensors on each loop.
Blockage Sensors:
  • Based on the reliable DICKEY-john Vigilense sensor.
  • Daisy chain connections for clean installation and reduced harness complexity.
  • 32-mm stainless steel tube for improved hose connection.
Efficient Connections: The system monitors up to 432 distribution tower runs, eliminating complex harnessing and allowing easy installation with interconnected sensors. It supports system expansion by adding more sensors.
Flexible Performance: Each module has two loops, allowing separate detection for fertilizer and seed flow. Flow sensitivity is adjustable for optimal detection of partial blockages.
Advanced Diagnostics: Features unique bi-directional communication for easy diagnostics of cut wires, faulty connections, or failed sensors. The system continues monitoring even with a one-line communication failure.
ISO 11783 Compatibility: The system is designed to work with the ISO11783 standard in Agriculture Electronics, installing on the ISO CAN BUS without needing a Master Air Cart Control ECU.
Conclusion: The DICKEY-john Daisy Chain Air Seeder Blockage System offers reliable performance and easy installation, backed by DICKEY-john's reputation for quality and dependability.

Daisy Chain Blockage-1

DAISY CHAIN AIR SEEDER Blockage System Two-Way Communication Provides Improved Performance for Air Seeder Monitoring. Detecting air seeder blockages just became a lot easier with the DICKEY-john® Daisy Chain Air Seeder Blockage System (DCBS). This system monitors seed and fertilizer flow on small and large air seeder implements and alerts of blocked or faulty sensors. The Daisy Chain Blockage System architecture consists of a blockage module and daisy chain (serial communication) blockage sensors. Each module and sensor displays on the virtual terminal indicating critical system parameters for the selected loop. Advanced diagnostics is a value-added feature to assist in quick identification of system issues relating to sensor, communication, and power issues of the Daisy Chain Blockage System. Alarm screens alert of system issues and exact problem location. The system’s two-way communication allows for continued operation with pinched wires or breaks in communication lines to minimize downtime in the field. Blockage Module: • Ability to manage up to 4 modules per system • Each module can monitor up to 108 blockage sensors, split between 2 loops of 54 sensors each • i-directional communication with sensors on each loop B Blockage Sensors: • Designed from the original DICKEY-john Vigilense sensor for proven reliability and performance • aisy chain connections provide a clean installation D and eliminate complicated harnessing • 2-mm stainless steel tube extends through the sensor 3 for improved connection to hoses
