SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
MODULE CONFIGURATION
System components must be installed correctly and vehicle parameters
entered into the IntelliAg system for effective operation. The following steps
provide guidelines for entering those parameters.
The Module Configuration screen identifies modules on the CAN bus and
the sensors connected to each module. This configuration is necessary for
proper sensor monitoring and self-test operation.
– A check mark to the left of each module’s serial number identifies
the module is active and a communicating module on the bus.
– If the current installation does not use a specific component (e.g.,
pressure sensors, hoppers, seed sensors) or if the module is not
connected in the system, the module will not display on the screen.
MODULE ADDRESS
The Module Address column is a critical parameter used to identify
module’s position on the implement and to identify the number of rows
connected to the Planter Control Module (PCM) and Working Set Members
(WSMB) (optional). Accurate placement of the modules is required for
correct console operation.
• Up to 12 seed sensors can connect to the planter control module
• Working set members can be added to monitor 18 rows each
• Up to 5 working set members can be installed to monitor up to a total
84 rows
The following requirements must be observed when connecting seed
sensors to the PCM or WSMB:
1. Each module address is determined by the order in which the modules
are installed on the implement.
2. The module address should always start at the number 1 position.
3. Seed sensors must be connected to the PCM or WSMB continuously
and consecutively. Any skipped rows will cause an alarm.
Example: Module Address 1 should be assigned to the module connected
to row 1. Module Address 2 should be assigned to the module connected to
the next set of rows. The assigned numbering continues until all rows have
been numbered.
SERIAL NUMBER AND MODULE TYPE
Each module present on the CAN bus is identified by the serial number and
module type. The module type corresponds to the identification on the serial
number label attached to that module.
IMPORTANT: If an implement uses more than one module type, mount
the modules on the implement in serial number order
starting on the left side and proceeding to the right.
