General Product Information
P/N 57150002, Revision 5.0 2 - 9 Trimble S, VX, SPS & RTS Service Manual
F
instrument allowing for a one to one operation with the robotic rod controller. When operated in
Machine Control mode, the radio master shifts to the machine control box, so that it can control up
to five instruments on the same radio channel and network. In this mode the radio system is also opti-
mized to eliminate jitter, which provides enhanced positioning control for the machine system
hydraulics.
When used for any machine control application, the instrument should be setup first with the SCS900
software, a station establishment carried out and then perform the shut down process and place the
instrument in Machine Control mode. This process involves placing the station establishment infor-
mation in the instrument memory, so that it can be transferred to the calling machine control applica-
tion.
The instrument capability to track moving vehicles and machines is referred to as Advanced Tracking
Sensor (ATS).
ATS capability delivers the following performance benefits for dynamic positioning applications
• Low, fixed and well defined latency of data output from the instrument and over the radio
• Synchronized angle and distance measurements
• 20Hz data update rates
• 16 Channel Target ID - 1-8 for Site Positioning mode and 9-16 for Machine Control mode.
• Optimized search routines designed for tracking a machine with trajectory prediction.
• Radio scanning capability, instrument can be programmed to sequentially scan a series of radio
channel and network ID combinations, allowing it to serve a number of machines, all on
different channels at a single location on demand.
• Radio network capability allowing up to 5 instruments to be operated from a single machine on
the same channel and network ID
Difference to Trimble S6
• Different style with rugged side covers, (same as RTS).
• Second configuration number to activate Site Positioning / Advanced Tracking Sensor (ATS)
function.
