rate, active boom width, and ground speed are made
approximately four times each second and any
necessary flow rate corrections are made as soon as
the need is detected. High speed microprocessors and
high resolution sensors are used in the TASC 6100
system to allow it to control the carrier application rate
precisely.
TASC 6100 System Components
E
ach of the five major components are described
below so the operator has a general under
standing of how each part performs its job.
1. C ONTROL C ONSOLE
The TASC 6100 control console is the heart of the
system and actually performs three separate functions.
The console contains a small computer with a sophisti-
cated control program developed by MIDWEST
TECHNOLOGIES. The console continually monitors
ground speed and active boom width. As these values
change, the console immediately recalculates the
required flow rate and makes necessary corrections.
The TASC 6100 console performs the second function
of allowing the operator to command the entire system
“ON THE GO” from the operator’s seat. The operator
has complete control over the application rate which
can be altered “on the go”.
