How The TASC 6100 Controls Application Rate
T
he TASC 6100 system is designed as a control
ler for both liquid and granular application.
There are two independent programs in the
console, one for liquid and one for granular. The
operator can select either program with a simple
switch activation. Calibration constants that are set in
the granular program stay in memory, even if the
corresponding constants are changed in the liquid
program. This allows a single console to be moved
between a spreader and a sprayer, without requiring
complete reprogramming.
The TASC 6100 system senses ground speed, active
application width, and product flow rate. A change in
ground speed or boom width results in a proportional
change of material flow rate to maintain a constant,
pre-selected application rate. Comparisons of flow
