Entering target rates
If you want to define a target rate for the ISOBUS job computer, you can do so through a task (“Extended“ mode) or through a field (“Standard“ mode). The target rate tells the ISOBUS job computer how much product should be applied by the metering units of the implement.
You can do this in the following ways:
- ▪
- You can enter a target rate in the “Target rates” field of the task. This value is transmitted to the ISOBUS job computer, so that the job computer works according to this definition until the task is completed.
- ▪
- You can add a prescription map to the task (in the FMIS) or to the field (on the terminal) in the FMIS, and then start the task or the field on the terminal. In this case, pay attention to the following:
- –
- The terminal sends only those target rates to the job computer that are required at the current GPS position.
- –
- If you are working with prescription maps, only the average target rate appears under the “Target rates” parameter.

- For implements with more than one metering unit, you can enter a target rate for each metering unit. However, you need the MULTI-Control license for this. You can find more information in the MULTI-Control instructions, which can be downloaded from the website.
Procedure
- þ
- The task is started.
- 1.
- Tap “Target rates”.
- ⇨
- The “Target rate” screen appears.
- 3.
- Enter the target rate in the “Quantity” field.
- 4.
- In the “Unit” field, select the unit in which you have entered the quantity. It must be a unit that is compatible with the metering unit of the job computer.
- 5.
- In the “Implement element” field, select the metering unit or hopper to which the target rate should be assigned. This entry is optional and is only possible if the ISOBUS job computer offers this possibility. If an implement has several metering units, you can enter a target rate for each metering unit. If you do not select a metering unit, the target rate will be assigned to all of the metering units.
- 6.
- In the “Product” field, select what you want to apply. This entry is optional and is only possible if you have previously created the list of products in the master data or have adopted them from the task.
- ⇨
- The “Target rates” screen appears.
- 9.
- If your implement has several metering units, you can now add more target rates.
