TASK CONTROLLER / 35
TASK CONTROLLER
Task Controller is used to communicate between an office PC and a control
system. It can be used to record and transfer information by two methods:
• From the office to control system
• From the control system to the office
VARIABLE OR SINGLE RATE TASK (PC)
Variable and single rate tasks created with mapping and field
documentation software on an office PC can be stored to the SD card and
transferred to the Virtual Terminal and loads the desired products, rates,
and map data for application in the field.
IMPORTANT: Rates created on a PC cannot be adjusted in the field
while a task is running.
AS APPLIED TASK
Task Controller can be used to record material rates and area while
operating in the field, such as harvesting yield data, planting information,
and fertilizer and chemical application rates. The data is stored to the SD
card from all active implements for transfer to an office PC.
IMPORTANT: Source data for As Applied rates are stored to the SD
card and not the Virtual Terminal, therefore, it is
important to backup these files to a computer or another
SD card to retain operations data. Operations data
includes names that are created for tasks such as
operator, farm, field, crop, and variety names. Any lost
data will require re-entry.
VT-GENERATED TASK
A single rate task can be created on the Virtual Terminal while operating in
the field. The rate is established in Task Controller and product can only be
applied at that rate and cannot be adjusted.
IMPORTANT: Source data for VT generated tasks created are stored to
the SD card and not the Virtual Terminal, therefore, it is
important to backup these files to a computer or another
SD card to retain operations data. Operations data
includes names that are created for tasks such as
operator, farm, field, crop, and variety names. Any lost
data will require re-entry.
NOTE: Systems with no file server or
task controller functionality will
not show all features listed.
