Controller
The controller is on the drill. The controller forms the link between the separate sensors, actuators, and monitor.A monitor located in the cab displays data from the controller and allows user input to the controller.
A microprocessor in the controller processes the user entered data and the signals transmitted by the sensors. The processed information is converted into:
A. CONTROL SIGNALS: Signals sent from the controller to operate the actuators.
- Automatic tramline operation.
- Seed meter shutoff.
B. ALARM SIGNALS: Signals sent to the controller from the sensors that indicate malfunctions in the monitored system.
- Low blower speed alarm.
- Low hopper alarm.
- Meter operation sensors.
C. DISPLAY SIGNALS: Signals sent from the controller to the monitor that displays the following information.
- Operational status.
- Tramline pattern.
- Area covered in current field.
- Total area covered.
- Area worked per hour.
- Work speed.
- Hours operated.
- Actual blower speed.
