l Operation Diagnostics: The Apollo ISOBUS UT Seeder is
capable of displaying runtime information on various operations;
including ground speed, fan status, shaft status, tank levels and
blocked heads.
1.1. Console / ECU interface
When viewing information from an ECU on a console via the
Universal Terminal, the console has no knowledge of what is on the
UT. The ECU has no knowledge of what the console is doing or the
capabilities of the console.
A Task Controller (TC) is required for the console to be able to
command the ECU to perform functions (for example; auto section
control or variable rate control), or for the ECU to tell the console
what it is doing (for example; the on/off state of each section or the
current application rate). However, not all consoles that have a UT
also have a TC. Additionally, some TCs may not be compatible with
the Apollo Seeder ECU. To enable the TC, refer to Configuring
advanced settings, page 73.
Another ISOBUS component is the File Server (FS). This enables
data such as configuration profiles or firmware upgrade files to be
transferred between the console and the ECU. Many UT compatible
consoles do not have FS support.
ECUs can only connect to a single UT, a single TC and a single FS. If
there are multiple UTs etc on the ISOBUS, the ECU may initially not
connect to the desired component. This can be fixed by using the
'Switch display' or 'Switch TC' functions (refer to Configuring
advanced settings, page 73).
