Configuring the list of connections

The list of connections indicates the ISOBUS job computers from which the terminal will load the geometries of the connected implements. This geometry is required in order to calculate the position of all implement components on the basis of the GPS signal. Only in this way are precise parallel guidance and section control possible.

	Icon for the tractor		ISO name of the tractor
	Connection between the tractor and the job computer is established - Connected implements		Name of the job computer
	Icon for the ISOBUS job computer		Not all of the equipment in the list must be connected. - Disconnected implements

In simple systems, the terminal can set up the list of connections automatically. In particular, when the ME terminal is the only unit containing the tractor geometry.

It can however still be necessary to set the list of connections manually in the following instances:

▪: If a tractor job computer (Tractor-ECU), in which the tractor geometry is saved, is mounted as an independent job computer on the tractor. In this instance, you must decide which Tractor-ECU is connected in the list of connections with other equipment: the application on the ME terminal or on the tractor job computer.

▪: If the system cannot organize the ISOBUS job computer by itself. For example when more than one implement is connected to the tractor (e.g.: slurry tanker and planter/seeder).

▪: When the connection to an ISOBUS job computer is interrupted during the start-up of a ISO-XML task. In most cases, the list of connections will be set correctly as soon as you reconnect the ISOBUS job computer.

▪: If this error message appears when starting the terminal: “List of connections is incomplete.”

▪: When the following error message appears when starting a navigation in TRACK-Leader: “The device data is still loading.” The settings in the list of connections can eliminate this problem.

Procedure

If you are using the ISOBUS-TC application in “Standard” mode, you can configure the list of connections as follows:

þ: All ISOBUS job computers and virtual job computers that are required for a field are connected.

1.: - Open the ISOBUS-TC application.

2.: Tap “Farm equipment”.

⇨: The “Farm equipment” screen appears.

3.: - Open the list of connections.

⇨: You have called up the list of connections screen.

⇨: A list appears with all of job computers, controllers and ECUs connected to the ISOBUS. The connectors appear between these devices.

4.: Tap the task in the top row in order to select the first implement.

5.: The device that is connected to the ME terminal should appear in the second line. Tap the line with the second implement and select one from this.

6.: You now only need to select the appropriate connector between the two devices. Tap the line between the devices and select the appropriate connector for each device.

7.: - Exit the screen to save the settings.
