Chapter 2 – Seeder Settings
11
l Min PWM/max PWM: Select a percentage. Min PWM sets the
minimum amount of PWM or power required to allow the metering
unit to rotate or discharge product. Max PWM sets the maximum
amount of power that can be provided to the valve running the
metering unit before maximum possible speed is achieved. Higher
percentage sets the pulse of power for longer during a pulse cycle.
l Controller response: This sets how quickly the controller tries to
achieve the required rate. If set too high, the seeder may pass the
target rate and take time to adjust, searching for the right level. If
set too low, the valve will take a long time to move to the desired
rate and control will be slow to respond. Find the best setting for
the equipment being used.
Monitor drive
Monitor drive is used to monitor operations for the seeder without
application rate control. The application rate must be set by physically
changing the drive settings on the metering unit for each tank.
Drive settings
l Gear ratio: The ratio between the drive motor and the metering
unit. Input a number.
l Encoder pulses/rev: The number of pulses/revolutions for each
revolution of the metering shaft. Input a number.
l Tank clutch: Enable to allow control of the tank clutch.
l Shaft sensor: When enabled, it triggers an alarm for incorrect gear
ratio or shaft jam.
l Shaft pulses/rev: Sets how many pulses the stop shaft sensor
provides per revolution.
