Configuring the list of connections

The list of connections indicates the ISOBUS job computers from which the terminal will load the geometries of the connected implements. This geometry is required in order to calculate the position of all implement components on the basis of the GPS signal. Only in this way are precise parallel driving and section switching possible.

Procedure

If you are using the ISOBUS-TC application, you can configure the list of connections as follows:

þ: All ISOBUS job computers required for a task are connected.

þ: The task is started.

1.: Open the task data.

2.: – Open the screen with the list of connections.

⇨: The following screen appears:

⇨: A list appears with all of job computers, controllers and ECUs connected to the ISOBUS. The connectors appear between these devices.

3.: - Press the rotary knob on the top line to select the first device. If you are using an ME terminal to which a GPS receiver is connected, insert the ME-Tractor-ECU application in the top line. If another terminal or tractor job computer contains the geometry, it can be used for the list of connections.

4.: The job computer of the implement that is connected to the rear ISOBUS socket should appear on the second line. Select a device in the line for the second device.

5.: You now only need to select the appropriate connector between the two devices. Press the rotary knob in the line between two devices and select the appropriate connector for each device.

In simple systems, the terminal can set up the list of connections automatically. In particular, when the ME terminal is the only unit which contains the tractor geometry (see: Entering the position of the GPS Receiver

It can however still be necessary to set the list of connection manually in the following instances:

▪: If a tractor job computer (Tractor-ECU), in which the tractor geometry is saved, is mounted as an independent job computer on the tractor. In this instance, you must decide which Tractor-ECU is connected in the list of connections with other equipment: the application on the ME terminal or on the tractor job computer.

▪: If the system cannot organize the ISOBUS job computer by itself. For example when more than one implement is connected to the tractor (e.g.: slurry tanker and planter/seeder).

▪: When the connection to an ISOBUS job computer is interrupted during the start-up of a ISO-XML task. In most cases, the list of connections will be set correctly as soon as you reconnect the ISOBUS job computer.

▪: If this error message appears when starting the terminal: "List of connection is incomplete."

▪: When the following error message appears when starting a navigation in TRACK-Leader: "The device data is still loading." The settings in the list of connections can eliminate this problem.
