ISOBUS PLANTER-Controller The ISOBUS PLANTER-Controller is a control system for implements with mechanical, central or single drive. The job computer regulates the spread rate according to the set target rate in seeds per hectare. Both electric and hydraulic motors can be actuated to regulate the rate. Using sensor technology (e.g. optosensors or the newly developed PLANTirium® sensor), the seed is counted and monitored on each row. In addition, different shut-off clutches can be switched manually or automatically (SECTION-Control) for each metering unit. The motor control of the seed rate...

With the clear layout of the user interface, all of the functions are easily and rapidly accessible by pressing a few buttons. The functions are called up using intuitively designed graphic softkeys. A clear arrangement of the functions also facilitates orientation within the software.

ISOBUS DRILL-Controller The ISOBUS DRILL-Controller is a control system for implements with up to 4 metering drives. The job computer regulates, monitors and controls all of the connected components of a seeder. The spread rate is regulated according to the set target rates for each metering unit with up to six different products (seed and fertiliser). Both electric and hydraulic motors can be used to achieve regulation. For implements with extensive equipment, the system is expanded with an additional job computer. This solution is therefore ideal for all manufacturers, from the simple...

AIRidium® AIRidium® is a newly developed measuring system for seed-precise blockage monitoring of different seeds in pneumatic seeders. This sensor therefore enables seeding without calibration for the first time. The patented Piezo sensor technology compels with high measurement accuracy and sturdiness. The system comprises both sensors and a master control unit (ECU), which performs the evaluation. In addition to the precise counting of large seeds such as peas and corn, fine seeds like rapeseed can be detected under the most difficult conditions (vibrations and dust). In contrast,...

PLANTirium® The PLANTirium® sensor is the first seed tube sensor capable of detecting objects using imaging sensor technology while offering an interface for parametrisation, status indication and software updates. Imaging sensor technology enables the detection of small seeds (rapeseed) or larger seeds (corn or sunflower seeds) even in difficult conditions. A pattern recognition method is used to distinguish debris from seeds inside the seed tube. Also, the sensor recognises overlapping seeds as multiples. Active sensor re-adjustment provides reliable compensation for debris accumulating on...

MRC module The MRC module (Motor Row Control) is an add-on module for the job computer of the precision planter. This module is used to control electrically driven seeding units. The MRC modules allow a precise seed spacing to be set for each individual row. This enables uniform seed spacing when driving in curves or offset seed placement in neighbouring rows (DeltaRow placement). The blockage monitoring and calculation of statistical parameters for the placement accuracy are performed through evaluation by optical sensors. Data exchange with the PLANTirium® sensor is possible through the...

ME Configurator for DRILL-/PLANTER-Controller Assignment of the functions to the inputs/outputs Activating inputs/outputs The ME-Configurator is a user-friendly software tool that is used to configure the scope of functions of a seeder. The clear and intuitive menu structure makes it easier for the user to set up the implement. Data exchange between the PC and job computer is bidirectional. Thus, it is possible to transfer a previously created configuration file from the PC to the job computer or to transfer it from a ME terminal to the job computer via a USB memory device. This simplifies e.g....

DRILL-Control The DRILL-Control is a closed control system for seeders for a product or a metering drive. The system regulates the spread rate according to the set target rates. An electric engine that is adapted for the system is used for regulation. This combination of display and controller is an easy entrylevel solution for automating the seeder. Functions With just a few configuration steps, DRILL -Control can be adapted to the required conditions. The configurations can be created and edited either using a PC configurator or directly on the terminal. For documentation purposes, the DRILL...

SECTION-Control via ASD DRILL-Control is equipped with a serial interface. This interface can be used to exchange both target rates and section statuses with other operating devices by means of the ASD protocol. To do so, both devices (observe other requirements) must support the ASD protocol. DRILL-Control can therefore automatically adjust the seeding rate from a corresponding prescription map. To be able to use automatic section control, the SECTION-Control app must also be activated on the terminal. Advantages - Inexpensive retrofitting of non-ISOBUS implements: - For using...
