Parts of the BSC/BSC Plus/BSC Pres system Part name Control unit 2 and 3 wire cables connecting to valves (1-12 pieces) Cable for pressure sensor Pressure sensor Cable for volume control valve Flow sensor

Main characteristics of BSC/BSC Plus/BSC Pres/BSC Flow Input voltage: Number of attachable sections: Main valve support: Supported section valves: The main difference between BSC Pres and Flow is the way they measure data for automatic application rate control. BSC Pres uses pressure values from a pressure sensor while BSC Flow uses flow rate from a flow sensor. *On devices manufactured after mid 2019 Available configurations of BSC/BSC Plus/BSC Pres/BSC Flow Small casing Normal casing Main valve: Main valve: Configuration and casing is done by the manufacturer, can not be modified after...

Full system of BSC/BSC Plus/BSC Pres/BSC Flow Android device with MachineryGuide software Android device with BSC software (optional) Wi-Fi network BSC/BSC Plus/BSC Pres/BSC Flow controller unit Local interconnecting cables between the valves and the controller Connection between the Android device and the BSC/BSC Plus/ BSC Pres and BSC Flow controller is via Wi-Fi. The controller should be installed within 10 meters of the Android device.

Softwares for BSC/BSC Plus/BSC Pres/BSC Flow system BSC/BSC Plus/ BSC Pres and BSC Flow can be used with two softwares: with the free BSC application dedicated to the controller, or with the MachineryGuide software. Automated section control is available by using the MachineryGuide software. The BSC software The BSC software is a free Android application, available from the Google Play store. All functions of the BSC controller can be accessed by the application. The software - if correctly set - gives recommendations for speed, so the previously set application rate can be achieved with...

Measured application rate Active section width / total sprayer width Measured area (only the covered area of the enabled section are measured) Measured pressure (In case of BSC Press: measured pressure / target pressure) Measured flow (In case of BSC Flow: measured flow/ target flow) Consumed tank liquid (This initial value has to be set in the options menu) Field test Nozzle type selection Target application rate input field Exit application Start area measurement Wi-Fi connectivity status with BSC controller unit Section control switches (On/Off) Main switch for all valves (On/Off)

Software settings: BSC / BSC Plus / BSC Pres / BSC Flow Nozzle distance Distance between nozzles Initial tank liquid volume The app calculates the liquid consumption, for this initial value has to be set. Liquid density Any realistic speed value. (Below this speed the master valve and section valves and the regulation will be stopped.)

Regulation dynamic The max pressure value has to be set here, which is allowed on the systems. (If the measured pressure reaches this value, then the system will automatically open the regulator valve with max. speed independently the configured dynamic.) Outputs’ logic level If the checkbox is set, then the belonging output will operate with inverted logic System check Measurement function with static test speed for the regulation and liquid consumption. Additional settings for BSC Flow: Each sensor has a unique, factory-calibrated value, which is written on the sensor.

Nozzle type selection window: Nozzle type can be set by clicking on the name of the nozzle. Based on the primarily configured nozzle distance the characteristic of the nozzle will be automatically calculat in the table. System check: Measurement function with static test speed for the regulation and liquid consumption. The nozzle type and nozzle distance have to be configured primarily. Only the first section is enabled on the sprayer for this test. Function 1 Test static speed

Test application rate value Measured pressure / target pressure Measured capacity (for all nozzles available on the first section) Consumed liquid during the test Start / Stop button (The test will be started or stopped by clicking on this button.) Information box on the state of the connection Section width: Input field to configure the width of the selected section Section selection area Section number selection dropdown list If the selected section number is not equal to the factory setting of the control module, then the configuration will be effective after the restarting of BSC module.

Possible scenarios of connection errors In case of lost connection between the Android device and the BSC controller, the software automatically gives a notification of the problem. The software automatically reconnects within 10 seconds, but reconnection can be started manually also. Notification of lost connection: The application connects with the BSC/BSC Plus/BSC Pres/BSC Flow controller via Wi-Fi. Controller should be connected to power supply before connecting! Wi-Fi connection distance is limited. Distance between the Android device and the controller should be less than 10 meters.

At the very first connection from the tablet/smartphone to the BSC module, the WiFi network of BSC has to be selected manually in the settings of Android Operating System.

MachineryGuide software MachineryGuide is an agricultural guidance application, which was developed for Android devices. This software includes all the well known functions of agricultural GPS guidance systems, including overlap detection and visual section control. If connected to a BSC, BSC Plus, BSC Pres or BSC Flow section control unit, then the software also works as an automated section controller. For the most efficient work the software is highly customisable to the needs of the user. Difference between BSC and BSC Plus/BSC Pres/BSC Flow is that the nozzle type and nozzle distance,...
