RowCommand™ Overview

The RowCommand™ system uses electric clutches located at each row unit to shut off the seed meters when commanded by the operator or by SwathControl Pro™ software. RowCommand™ clutches are designed so that the seed meter turns when the clutch is not powered. To turn a row unit clutch on or off, the SeedStar™ 2 controller sends a CAN Bus message to the Electronic Power Module (EPM) for that clutch. The EPM processes the message and applies electrical power to the clutch solenoid to turn it off and removes electrical power to turn it on. The RowCommand™ system allows up to 16 control sections to be set up for the planter. Control sections cannot go across VRD drive sections and should be a minimum of 60 inches wide for best performance with SwathControl Pro™. When used with SwathControl Pro™, RowCommand™ on and off times must be calibrated for the specific tractor and planter configuration being used. Refer to the SwathControl Pro™ section of your GreenStar™ Display Operators Manual for detailed setup information.
