The Right switch is the swath control toggle. The Master Plant switch controls the planter. Toggled On: vDrive units will plant once the planƟng requirements for the system are met. Toggled O: vDrive units will not plant. We recommend doing this when you are near the planter. The Swathswitch on the right side of the CCM 2 is for swath control. Toggled On: Swath Control is enabled. (all rows will clutch) Toggled O: Swath Control is disabled.

The Outside Two switches are labeled as “AutoLoad” and are used for loading the meters prior to planƟng, swath control and health checks. Prior to planƟng “autoload” the meters. Push up and release the Outside Two switches. This will spin the meters and load the seed disk. The three switches can also be used for swath control.

Condi ons to Enable vDrive: In order for vDrive to func on, the following condi ons must be met:

1. Planter lowered 2. Planter moving 3. Master Plant Switch “ON” 4. Swath Control commanded “ON”

When vDrive is installed, the vDrive BUTTON will be displayed. By pressing the vDrive bu on, you will be taken to the vDrive Control center to make adjustments to your system. If this bu on is not present, navigate: SETUP  ‐ SYSTEMS ‐ DISPLAY ‐ DASHBOARD BUTTONS and choose the 4X4 OPTION. See page 2 for addi onal informa on on vDrive control. The top box of the vDrive bu on (labeled 160,000 below) displays your current commanded popula on when plan ng a manual popula on or displays “VARIABLE“ when plan ng a prescrip on. he bo om box of the vDrive bu on (labeled Swath below) displays swath control mode.

A Dashboard Mini‐Chart (DMC) can be selected from the Dash View page. There are several op ons that can be selected, such as Popula on or Singula on. Pressing the Dashboard Mini‐chart will take the operator to a detailed page of that characteris c. Whenever vDrive turns off a row due to swath control, the Popula on DMC will be shown with the clutch status at the bo om.

The Cab Control Module 2 (CCM 2) is composed of three separate parts: The Le switch is the Master Plant toggle. The Center Group of 3 switches controls planter sec ons. The Right switch is the swath control toggle.

The Master Plant switch controls the planter. Toggled On: vDrive units will plant

once the plan ng requirements for the system are met.

Toggled Off: vDrive units will not plant. We recommend doing this when you are near the planter.

The Swathswitch on the right side of the CCM 2 is for swath control. Toggled On: Swath Control is enabled.

(all rows will clutch) Toggled Off: Swath Control is disabled.

(all rows will plant)

Sec on Plant: This group of switches are used for sec on control and auto‐loading. The Outside Two switches are labeled as “Auto‐Load” and are used for loading the

meters prior to plan ng, swath control and health checks. Prior to plan ng “auto‐load” the meters. Push up and release the Outside Two 

switches. This will spin the meters and load the seed disk. The three switches can also be used for swath control.

The vDrive Control Center is the heart of the vDrive system. This is where you will Enable Control to the system, select popula on rates, monitor as applied seeding prescrip ons, and manually clutch off rows..

Popula on Control: This control can toggle between “Variable” and “Manual”. Manual: You specify which popula on you

want to plant Variable: The prescrip on map specifies

the popula on for each row. A prescrip on must be loaded under SETUP ‐ FIELD ‐ SELECT A FIELD ‐ PRESCRIPTION

When in “Manual”, the manual commanded popula on will be planted even when a prescrip on is loaded. 

Swath Control: This control can toggle between “Enabled” and “Manual.” Pressing this bu on will enable and disable swath control or turn swath off.

Pop Setpoints ‐ Allows the operator to change any of the eight popula on Setpoints.

Popula on Adjustment: Allows the operator to adjust popula on in 500 seed increments of all rows.

Single ‐ A single popula on will be planted across the planter. Pressing this bu on will toggle between “Single” and “Mul .”

Mul  ‐ Mul ple popula ons can be planted on the different sec ons of the planter. Pressing this bu on will toggle between “Single” and “Mul .”

Within “Manual Swath Control,” the operator can shutoff sec ons from one end of the planter by clutching from “Le ” or “Right.”

Within “Manual Swath Control,” the operator can shutoff sec ons from one end of the planter by clutching from “Le ” or “Right.”

Manual Sec on Control: Allows the operator to determine which sec ons to turn off.

Control Plan: This bu on allows you to define boundaries to command vDrive to. Field Boundary, Inner Boundary, Map Coverage, and Simulated Headlands are all control op ons.

The green boxes across the bo om of the screen are ac ve planter clutch sec ons. When rows are clutched off, they will appear yellow.

In order to access the Diagnos c Page, navigate: SETUP—DIAGNOSE

The top sec on of the page will list all of the systems detected on the planter.

The bo om of the page will list all of the rows on the planter.

Colors of Diagnose Page Green ‐ All systems are opera ng and com‐munica ng correctly. Yellow ‐ A system is not func oning 100% Red ‐ A part of the system has failed. The corresponding row will also be red. White ‐ Device is detected but is not Expected. 

SRM and VDM Light Status

Light Pa ern Descrip on

Erra c Blink (..‐ ‐..‐ ‐..‐ ‐..) Device has power but has never communicated to 20/20

Solid Light (_________) Device is being updated

Steady Blink (‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐) Device is powered and communica ng to 20/20

Fast Blink (………………..) Device is powered but lost communica on to 20/20

No Light ( ) Device is not powered

Speed Source ‐ Displays the speed source off which the vDrive system is running (Radar or GPS). RPM Actual ‐ RPM of the meter as measured by the Encoder on the vDrive motor. RPM Command – Meter Speed commanded by the 20/20. Pop Actual ‐  Popula on being measured by the seed sensor. Pop Command – Popula on being commanded by the 20/20. Stability – Reading of how stable the motor speed is. Supply Volts – Voltage being supplied to the vDrive Drive Amps – Current required to spin the vDrive motor Duty Cycle – A measure of how hard the electric motor is working. It is the propor on of

me that the motor is on as opposed to off. Li  State ‐ Determined by the li switches. Radar Speed ‐ Shows speed determined by radar. GPS ‐ Shows speed determined by GPS.
