Software Setup

Steering Tuning

There are two parts to Steering Tuning and these are On Line Aggressiveness and Approach Aggressiveness. Each of these are explained in their respective sections.

Aggressiveness basically means the reactiveness of the hydraulics. The higher the value, the faster the steering wheels respond. The lower the number, the slower the wheels respond.

The aim is to have the number as high as possible without the wheels oscillating.

Select to enter the 1. Steering Tuning screen

This chapter will explain how to setup your Auto-Steer software for use.

On Line Aggressiveness

Select to edit on line aggressiveness 1.

On line aggressiveness determines how precisely the Auto-Steering system will attempt to follow a guidance path once it is on it.

Set the on line aggressiveness high if you require your vehicle to follow a very precise path such as when performing between rows seeding.

When on line aggressiveness set adequately, the vehicle will follow the line accurately without the wheels oscillating.

Use the 2. up arrow button to increase on line aggressiveness and use the down arrow button to decrease on line aggressiveness

2-3AGA3719 Rev 1.6



1

Approach Aggressiveness

Select to edit approach aggressiveness 1.

Approach aggressiveness determines how quickly the auto-steering system will attempt to move onto a guidance path

If the approach aggressiveness is high, the auto-steering system will turn the vehicle harder and more sharply in order to move onto a nearby guidance path more quickly.

If the approach aggressiveness is low, the auto-steer system will turn the vehicle easier and more slowly to move onto a nearby guidance path more gradually.

Ideally you want the approach aggressiveness set so that your vehicle approaches the guidance path at a set speed to the best of its ability

Select to confirm your selection or select to cancel. Either 3. selection will return you to the Steering Tuning screen (figure 2-2).



Figure 2-5. Edit Approach Aggressiveness

Sensitivity

Sensitivity is an AES-25 electric steering specific tuning feature. The higher the sensitivity, the more the steering wheel reacts to wheel movement to keep the vehicle moving accurately along a guidance path.

It is recommended that sensitivity be set at higher values when moving at high speeds and at a lower value when moving at low speeds.

Deadband

Deadband is an AES-25 electric steering specific tuning feature and allows you to adjust the minimum wheel reaction speed when it is controlling to adjust for steering freeplay. The electric steering wheel is said to be in steering freeplay when it is not ‘reacting’ in order to maintain the vehicles position along a given path. It is recommended that the deadband be set at a low value initially and then increased gradually to suit your vehicle requirements.

Maximum Turning Angle

The maximum turning angle is the highest angle that the steering hydraulics are able to physically turn. This informs the auto-steering system of the vehicles steering limits so that it does not attempt to steer above this value.

Select 1. to edit the maximum turning angle

Use the Numeric keypad to enter the maximum turning angle. The 2. maximum turning angle has to be an angle between -90 and 90 degrees. Refer to Appendix A, page A-8 of the System-110/150 Operator’s

Using Auto-Steering

Step 1 - Approach the Guidance Path

To use Auto-Steer is fairly straight forward. In order to use Auto-Steer, you need to have the following two items:

Auto-Steering enabled (refer page 1-1)1. A loaded Guidance Path (Refer System 110/150 Guidance 2. manual page)

Follow the steps outlined in this section in order to use Auto-Steer on any guidance path.

In this example, the Guidance Path is an AB Line. When you engage Auto-Steering, the vehicle will begin to steer to the nearest available Guidance Path.

This is usually the Guidance Path that is immediately visible on the Main Guidance screen (figure 4-3).

Here we want the vehicle to steer to a path that runs through point A and point B. To do this, we need to drive the vehicle closer until the Guidance Path running through point A and B appears.

Figure 4-3. Approach Guidance Path

Nearest Guidance Path is visible

We want to Auto- Steer to original path between point A and B located around here

4-3AGA3719 Rev 1.6


Figure 4-4. Desired Guidance Path is visible

Figure 4-5. Adjust your approach

The Guidance Path between point A and B has appeared

The vehicle should be facing the direction you wish to auto-steer

As you approach your desired Guidance Path, it is best to slow down so that you do not overshoot the path.

Slowing down gives you the opportunity to adjust your approach so that it is more consistent with the Guidance Path you wish to follow.

While it is not necessary to be exactly on the Guidance Path moving in the exact direction, it is good practice. It also makes it easier for the Auto-Steer system to quickly find its path to begin Auto-Steering.

Step 2 - Adjust your approach



Figure 4-6. Auto-Steering is Active

Auto-Steering is engaged and the vehicle finds its path

Step 3 - Engage Auto-Steering

Disengage Auto-Steering

Select the 1. Steering Wheel button to engage Auto-Steering.

The button will change from white to green, indicating that Auto-Steering is engaged.

There are two things you can do if you want to stop Auto-Steering:

Select the 1. Steering Wheel button again (figure 4-6)Manually turn the steering wheel 2.

Auto-steering is automatically disengaged when the steering wheel is turned manually.

This is a safety feature and allows you to regain immediate control over your vehicle whenever you want to.

Additional Information

Auto-Steering limitations

While the auto-steering system is robust, it does have limitations. Being aware of this is important for both your own safety and also for the longevity of your auto-steering system.

The first limitation is the steering limitations. The auto-steering system cannot perform sharp turns. These include U-turns and 90 degree angle turns.

Because of this, you will need to take manual control of your vehicle whenever you want to do a sharp turn.

The second limitation is the speed limitation. While the auto-steering system can still follow a relatively straight line at high speeds, driving at high speed in general reduces the effectiveness of the auto-steering system.

This is due to the physical limitations of both the hydraulic system and the AES-25 electric steering system. High speeds require the auto-steering system to make faster steering adjustments and this may lead to oscillations in the wheels and poor adherence to the Guidance Path.

The auto-steering system works best when the vehicle is moving at moderate to low speeds. Moderate speeds allow the system to make better adjustments and produce higher quality tracking of a given Guidance Path.



AGI-3 Receiver LED Indicators Information

This section explains the meaning of the LED colors and patterns displayed on the AGI-3 receiver when it is operating.

MINTER:

The MINTER is the receiver’s minimum interface used to • display and control data input and output.

The PWR LED displays the power status for the receiver:

Steady Green – the receiver is turned on.• No light – the receiver is turned off.•

The STAT LED displays the status of tracked satellites:

Red blink – receiver is on, but no satellites being tracked.• Green blink – receiver is on and tracking satellites; one blink • per tracked GPS satellite.Orange blink – receiver is on and tracking satellites; one blink • pertracked GLONASS satellite.

The RX/TX LED displays the status of the modem.

FH915 Plus and Digital UHF Modems:

No light – modem is turned off.• Green flashes – modem is in receiver mode.• Solid Green – a radio link has been established; modem isready • to receiver data.Solid Green plus Red flashes – modem is receiving data.• Solid Red – modem is in transmitter mode.• Red flashes – a fault condition has been detected. Check • the condition of the radio modem’s antenna to ensure it is undamaged, and is connected properly and securely. Also make sure nothing interrupts the signal.

5-3AGA3719 Rev 1.6


Red flashes plus Green flashes – modem is in command mode.•

GSM/GPRS:

Solid Orange (Red and Green) – the modem is initializing.• Green flashes – the modem is on, registered on the network, and • is waiting for incoming calls (Slave mode).Solid Red – a connection has been established.• Green flashes – the modem is in direct control mode (Daisy • Chain).Orange flashes – an error has occurred (initialization error, • wrong PIN code, etc.).

The SYSFIX LED displays the data recording status:

Green blinks – each blink indicates that data is being written to • the internal memory card.Solid Orange – indicates the receiver is changing modes.• Orange blinks – indicates that the receiver is checking its • internal file system (after clearing the NVRAM or loading new firmware).During this operation, the file system is not accessible for • CDU (control display unit) applications or for data recording. This operation may require from fractions of a second to several minutes, depending on the circumstances and the amount of internal memory.Solid Red – indicates a fault condition with the receiver (no • more memory, a hardware problem, or an improper OAF).
