AFS
Firmware and Software Versions
The Display Monitor can be used in several AFS applications, all capable of using and recording data used in AFS Desktop Software.
Firmware is what makes the Display Monitor “become a combine” and display the data necessary for harvesting operations. Display
Firmware and AFS Desktop Software must be compatible. The following table defines component compatibility for past and present
configurations.

Assisted Steering Options
Other Advanced Farming Systems features available for
Case IH combines includes GPS controlled assisted steering.
• EZ-Steer uses a steering-column mounted electric motor
to turn the steering wheel on command from a GPS guided
controller
(see figure 32.1)
• Autopilot integrates an electronic control valve with the
standard steering valve, to steer the combine with
GPS signals
If assisted steering is added to combines not currently equipped
with GPS mapping capability, component integration allows
use of the steering system GPS signals for AFS yield mapping.
A special harness available from your Case IH dealer can be
used to integrate the two systems
(see figure 32.2).
As the technology of GPS and precision farming has progressed,
hardware has changed as new capabilities have evolved.
Many system components are compatible with the use of
specialized connectors or harnesses. Your Case IH dealer
has the documentation necessary to help you match existing
components with new hardware you may select to further
the reach of the latest technology in your farming operation
(see figure 32.3).
