Ames, Iowa, December 18, 2014 – Ag Leader Technology announced today that it is expanding its
ISOBUS offerings with a new Liquid Control Module that works with Ag Leader displays, as well as
other brands of ISOBUS compatible displays.
The module is configurable for the user’s choice
of sprayer, liquid fertilizer, anhydrous and manure
application with features and interactive controls
optimized specific to each of those equipment
types.
“Our Liquid Control Module is compatible with
ISOBUS standards for virtual terminal and task
control,” explained John Howard, Ag Leader’s
DirectCommand Product Manager. “This
functionality allows using the system with other
brands of virtual terminal/task control compatible
displays.”
Physical components of the system are a rate control ECU, one or more boom section control
ECUs and an auxiliary input switch console that is designed specifically to meet liquid application
control requirements.
Features of the system include:
• Easy-to-use, structured methods to calibrate the fl ow, pressure and ground speed sensors that
are critical to accurate system performance.
• Continuous monitoring of the relationship between product fl ow rates and system pressure.
This permits early detection and warning in event of a sensor failing or drifting off previously
calibrated baselines.
• Settings to automate boom prime and maintain a standby pressure to ensure accurate product
flow rates without lag in performance after initial machine fi ll and every time boom is cycled on/
off/on turning around at fi eld headlands.
• Supports up to 24 boom sections for less overlap of product application. (Additional sections
supported in the future.)
The ISOBUS Liquid Control Module will be available to the North American market in early 2015.
