9 Introduction Theory of Operation Active Implement Guidance system allows a symmetric implement and machine to be independently steered onto a common track. Active Implement Guidance synchronizes with AutoTrac functionality of machine to guide implement on same generated path. For system to operate correctly, proper offsets are required so system knows where machine receiver is in relation to implement receiver. Offsets are entered into GreenStar system under equipment pages. Ensure proper setup and calibration of entire system, which includes but not limited to: Terrain Compensation Module (TCM) calibrated on receivers. SCV Threshold calibrated on an integrated system. Hydraulic SCV flow rate set. Wheel angle left, right, and center calibrated. Engagement of system requires the following conditions: Active Implement Guidance activated. System setup and calibrated. Offsets entered for system. Integrated or universal steering system installed. Guidance mode selected and line created (unless using Follow Mode on initial guidance line creation). AutoTrac system enabled (3 pie state). SCV in Auto or AC mode and in detent state. Requirement to Engage selected for implement steering system. AutoTrac is a trademark of Deere & Company Implement steer status is Implement Ready. Machine moving at 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph) or greater. If all conditions are met, select AutoTrac resume switch to engage system. AutoTrac reaches Active (4 pie state) and Implement Steer Status reads "Ok". Disengage system manually by turning steering wheel (when not actively using Follow Mode), or by moving SCV lever to remove it from Auto or AC mode. Active Implement Guidance can be used for pull-type and integral implements. IMPORTANT: Performance of reverse operation is limited by the characteristics of each implement steering system. In most cases, reverse operation is not recommended. To avoid performance issues or possible damage to machines, know and understand the limitations of system before attempting to use Active Implement Guidance in reverse. NOTE: Active Implement Guidance performance is limited to ability of the steering system used. Use proper steering system for current conditions. Active Implement Guidance operates in reverse for 45 sec. After 45 sec., AutoTrac and Active Implement Guidance disengage. BA31779,00006AA DEC13-1/ PN=9

11 Introduction Machine Compatibility The guidance portion of Active Implement Guidance is compatible on machines installed with Integrated AutoTrac, AutoTrac Universal, or AutoTrac Controller. Active Implement Guidance external valve kit adds hydraulic control to machines that do not come with factory installed hydraulic controls. BA31779,00006D NOV13-1/1 Replace Eprom On some early models of 8000 and 9000 series tractors, it is necessary to replace or upgrade tractor hydraulic controller. Contact your John Deere dealer for assistance with early model machines. NOTE: To replace eprom, see your John Deere dealer. BA31779,00006D NOV13-1/1 Setup Checklist Check and perform the following items before using Active Implement Guidance. Implement Steering Calibrate SCV Thresholds. Adjust and tune steering sensitivities. Calibrate machine and implement TCM. Calibrate Left, Right, and Center positions. Adjust counterbalance valve (if applicable). Extend on SCV results in an increasing wheel angle sensor voltage. Retract on SCV results in a decreasing wheel angle sensor voltage. Implement Shifting Adjust SCV Flow Rate. Adjust counterbalance valve (if applicable). Calibrate SCV Thresholds. Calibrate machine and implement TCM. BA31779, DEC13-1/ PN=11

12 System Components Monitor and Control System Because the monitor and control systems are an integral part of the machine, operations involving displays and electronic controllers are shown throughout the manual, in their respective sections. Monitor portion of the system: takes signals from the wheel angle sensors along with relevant implement GPS information and displays the activity on the cab-mounted console. The active display informs the operator of machine activities before they can be seen from the operator seat. Control portion of the system: used to steer implement along the desired guidance line. Control system continually adjusts the implement steering cylinder to maintain zero off-track error. A continuous system adjustment compensates for external disturbances to the system that would normally cause implement to track off the desired path. DK01672,00000CA JUN11-1/1 StarFire Receiver Active Implement Guidance requires two StarFire Receivers for operation. StarFire Receivers are required for machine and implement. Both receivers must have an RTK signal level unless shared signal is used. NOTE: For optimal performance, both receivers must be the same model. Install implement receiver less than 4.0 m (13.1 ft.) above ground level. Implement receiver must be connected to machine s implement CAN Bus through ISO connector. StarFire Receiver PC13406 UN 20APR11 Continued on next page BA31779,00006D NOV13-1/ PN=12

13 System Components Shared Signal NOTE: Shared signal engages automatically after setup of system is complete. It is not possible to engage or disengage shared signal. When using shared signal with RTK, machine receiver must have an RTK radio installed. Implement receiver does not require RTK activation or radio when utilizing shared signal. If Active Implement Guidance and igrade are used, shared signal does not function if an igrade function is active. Shared signal allows Active Implement Guidance to share the correction signal from machine receiver with implement receiver. Shared signal automatically links and operates with Active Implement Guidance when the following requirements are met: StarFire 3000 Receivers on machine and implement. GreenStar Display. SF2 or RTK activation on machine receiver. SF1, SF2, or RTK on implement receiver. Only Implement Steer or Implement Shift function is selected. Fore and aft values for implement receiver are set to 0. Latest software updates on display, receivers, and application controller.

14 System Components Shared signal automatically uses machine correction signal. Install receiver with higher correction signal on machine. If correction signal is higher on implement receiver, Receiver Accuracy Warning is displayed. NOTE: Accuracy warning does not disable shared signal. PC13798 UN 02JUN11 Accuracy Warning BA31779,00006D NOV13-3/3 GreenStar Display Operator is informed of machine activity by observing display screen. Machine functions are selected or turned ON/OFF using touchscreen display or display controls. Display can be set to English or Metric units of measure. Operator entries must be made in same units of measure as display readout. Tractor Radar setting, units of measure and language selection are stored within display console. NOTE: If new or different display console is used with machine, tractor radar setting must be retrieved from old display and manually entered into new display, or recalibrated and stored. Units of measure and language selection must be reset on new display if different than factory defaults Display PC13407 UN 20APR11 DK01672,00000CC JUN11-1/ PN=14

15 System Components Wheel Angle Sensor At an indicative location for implement steering system, a potentiometer (A) or a hall effect sensor (B) is used as a wheel angle sensor. As steering control cylinder extends or retracts, signal from potentiometer changes to reflect position of implement steering mechanism. This signal is feedback for guidance system and steering sensitivities, and is used to control steering mechanism. NOTE: Some implement steering devices have a wheel sensor incorporated into equipment. Wheel angle sensor must be a 0 5 V analog sensor. Mount and calibrate wheel angle sensor so its range of motion is aligned and symmetrical. Failure to mount sensor properly results in poor performance. Verify hydraulic and mechanical steering linkage is properly adjusted per manufacturer's specifications. Refer to steering system Operator s Manual for specific steering system. Install Requirements For best performance, install wheel angle sensor to get the greatest amount of voltage range. Left, right, and center should be linear and equidistant.

24 Setup SCV Threshold Calibration CAUTION: To avoid serious injury, keep area around equipment clear. Procedure requires machine to move forward. Implement moves during calibration. Read and follow Operate Implement Automation Systems Safely in Safety section before performing calibration. NOTE: SCV threshold calibration is not performed with external valve connected. To adjust hydraulic flow to external valve refer to External Valve Hydraulic Flow Adjustment section. Each time Active Implement Guidance is installed on a different machine, perform an SCV threshold calibration. Without SCV threshold calibration, steering mechanism steers faster in one direction, under steers, over steers, or does not perform as expected due to hydraulic limitations. These factors make it difficult for controller to maintain an off-track error of 0. NOTE: To calibrate SCV threshold, machine must slowly move forward greater than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) with selected SCV (SCV 1 or 3) detented to AC or AUTO, as displayed by SCV indicators. Implement does not need to be in lowered (working) position for calibration. If machine is not moving faster than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph), SCV control does not produce hydraulic flow.

25 Setup 4. Select SCV being used from SCV Threshold Setup drop-down (A). 5. Select Valve Test Extend On (B) from drop-down (C). 6. Adjust Extend Threshold value (D) to lowest setting that produces a steady, consistent motion. If sensor voltage does not change, increase Extend Threshold value. If sensor voltage moves quickly or erratically, decrease Extend Threshold value. If present, wheel angle sensor voltage must be increasing in value, if not swap hydraulic lines. Repeat procedure as required to obtain a slow, smooth, and constant change in sensor voltage. This test is performed to tell system the minimum amount of signal to send to hydraulics controller before movement begins for corrections. High settings produce erratic performance. Low settings produce slow performance. NOTE: Some implements require sensor to be fully retracted to increase range of extend motion. 7. Select Valve Test Retract On (E) from drop-down. 8. Adjust Retract Threshold value (F) to lowest setting that produces a steady, consistent motion. If sensor voltage does not change, increase Retract Threshold value. If sensor voltage moves quickly or erratically, decrease Retract Threshold value. Repeat procedure as required to obtain a slow, smooth, and constant change in sensor voltage. This test is performed to tell system the minimum amount of signal to send to hydraulics controller before movement begins for corrections. High settings produce erratic performance. Low settings produce slow performance. 9. Select Valve Test Off (G) when calibration is complete. Once constant movement is detected at wheel angle, threshold is set properly.

27 External Valve External Valve IMPORTANT: External valve must have an in-line check valve installed on pump hose. If using an external valve, 9-pin vehicle side implement feedback harness cannot be used. Disconnect harness when machine is powered off. Open-center Valve A control valve opens in center position so pump flow is allowed through valve and returns to reservoir. Closed-center Valve When no oil is required to operate a function, control valve closes in center position stopping oil flow. In order to conserve machine SCV connections an external valve connection for Active Implement Guidance is available. External valve can either be connected to an open SCV on machine or can use power beyond as a hydraulic power source from machine. NOTE: For more information about connecting external valve to power beyond, reference Application Controller 1100 and External Valve Install Instructions.

Wheel angle sensor (A) communicates implement steering angle to controller (B) with signals carried through implement feedback harness (C). Implement steering angle information is calibrated by operator, using display (D) and SCV control lever (E). Application Controller 1100 calculates implement off-track error using StarFire Receivers (F). When a steering adjustment is required, a signal is sent from Application Controller 1100, through application controller harness (G), to machine SCV controller through 9-pin vehicle side implement feedback harness (H) or external valve through CAN Bus. SCV controller communicates instructions for sending hydraulic fluid to implement steering cylinder (I). Process returns to first step to monitor for any implement off-track error. Constant adjustments are made to keep implement steering towards guidance line. IMPORTANT: If using an external valve, 9-pin vehicle side implement feedback harness cannot be used. Disconnect harness when machine is powered off. BA31779,00006DC DEC13-1/ PN=28

29 Operation Engage Active Implement Guidance IMPORTANT: If steering device is not in contact with ground, Active Implement Guidance cannot effectively steer implement. NOTE: For ease of instruction, this manual uses SCV 3 for the Active Implement Guidance system. Operator can choose to use SCV 1 if preferred. 1. Set up guidance line on GreenStar display. NOTE: Leave SCV 3 in detent after each pass. 2. Using SCV controls, move SCV 3 control lever (A) to detent position to activate implement guidance. NOTE: If operating a machine with CommandCenter, ensure SCV has a check mark next to AUTO. See Adjusting Selective Control Valves R Series Tractors for more information. For more information on CommandCenter SCV controls, see machines Operator s Manual. 3. Verify EC (manual SCV control) on right-hand console (B) changes to AC (auto SCV control). If operating a machine with CommandCenter, status indicator changes from Auto with a line through it (C) to Auto (D). IMPORTANT: If AutoTrac Only is the requirement to engage, Active Implement Guidance begins acquiring line immediately after AutoTrac resume switch (E) is selected. For implements using a coulter steering system, movement starts even if implement is not in contact with ground. 4. Select resume switch to activate AutoTrac and Active Implement Guidance simultaneously. Machine and implement steer toward guidance line.

Actual pages appear differently due to connection of optional devices and software version in use. See GreenStar display Operator's Manual for information on page layout and display adjustments. Active Implement Guidance Display Information: SCV Control Assignment and Status (A): SCV control type is identified along with status of SCV. Status alerts operator to current condition of control system. - Cycle Power: Controller must be restarted. - Not Activated: No activation is present within the controller, desired operation must be activated on controller. - No GPS: No GPS correction available, ensure implement receiver is powered up and receiving signal. - No GPS RTK: RTK correction not available. - Update GPS SW: Receiver software requires update. - Tractor SCV not Auto: SCV not in detent mode, detent applicable SCV lever. - Implement Up: Implement raised or faulty implement height sensor, ensure requirement to engage is correct. Track Error (Distance) (B): Distance implement is off-track from current guidance line. A properly balanced implement has off-track errors + and - each side of 0. Wheel Angle (Implement) (C): Amount of corrective wheel movement to keep Track Error at 0. Wheel angle E Line Sensitivity Accumulated F Tractor Follow On or Off Drop-down should be + and - on each side of 0. A wheel angle consistently on one side or other indicates system is steering one way to shift machine. If operating in straight track mode, this may indicate operation on a hillside. If on flat ground, it may indicate an incorrect center calibration or poor implement balance. Line Sensitivity Tracking (D): Affects line acquisition only. Determines how aggressively Active Implement Guidance responds to tracking errors while machine is acquiring track. Tracking error is distance between implement location and desired track. Higher values cause Active Implement Guidance to respond more aggressively to move implement location to desired track. See In-Field Adjustments and Tuning for more information. Value range: Default setting: Line Sensitivity Accumulated (E): Affects on-line performance only. Determines how fast or aggressively system commands wheels to react to off-line errors while on hills and slopes. Value range: Default setting: 300.

34 Tuning and Adjustment Adjust System Settings Machine SCV Flow To determine correct flow setting, adjust flow up, with Active Implement Guidance engaged, until system starts to become erratic. Then adjust flow down until system stabilizes. Left, Center, and Right Calibration Ensure system has a good max left, center, and max right position calibrations. Center calibration is critical since Active Implement Guidance system uses center calibration for line acquisition. When calibrating max left and max right positions, continue holding pressure on SCV lever once it has reached its max position. Left and right directions are based on operator sitting in cab facing forward. Ensure steering system is turning in direction it is being calibrated for. Some applications with steer systems are difficult to see from cab and require physical confirmation of steer direction. Do not assume system is going the correct direction if it cannot be seen. Hydraulic hoses hooked up backwards cause system to steer in opposite direction. Extend and Retract Threshold Setting NOTE: Machine must be moving forward at a minimum of 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph) to perform extend and retract threshold tests. Look for point at which system starts to move. If value is too low, system does not react. If value is too high, system performs erratically or consistently over shoot guidance line. Verify proper performance of feedback sensor by watching voltage on same page as extend and retract tests. Voltage must raise and lower at a steady pace with no erratic jumps. If there is no voltage reading, check implement feedback sensor harness, and verify feedback sensor has not failed. Once threshold settings are established, no more adjustments are needed unless SCV flow or counterbalance valve is adjusted. Line Sensitivity Tracking Line sensitivity tracking is dependent on each system and how it reacts when acquiring line after a turn. Line sensitivity tracking values vary from Systems with large steer cylinders require a higher value. If system is over shooting line or s-ing back and forth across it, line sensitivity tracking is too high. If system is slow to acquire line, line sensitivity tracking is too low. Since there is a large range of values for line sensitivity tracking, make large adjustments until desirable reaction is seen. Then adjust sensitivity with smaller values. Line Sensitivity Accumulated Line sensitivity accumulated value most likely will be close to a quarter of what line sensitivity tracking is. For example, line sensitivity tracking 2400 and line sensitivity accumulated 600. This setting affects performance of system after line is acquired and tracking. If system does not correct offline error, adjust setting until system starts holding line. Line sensitivity tracking and line sensitivity accumulated vary depending on system. It is necessary to watch behavior of system when acquiring line, and after tracking on line. Higher sensitivity values result in quicker response, and lower numbers result in slower response. Wheel Sensitivity Wheel sensitivity is dependent on each system. This setting is similar to wheel angle sensitivity on integrated machines. Find a value that shows consistent and favorable reaction on system. Wheel sensitivity directly affects line sensitivity tracking and line sensitivity accumulated. Start with one sensitivity, and get that specific sensitivity correct. Then work on the next sensitivity. GPS Receivers Calibrate TCM, on implement receiver and machine receiver. Implement receiver height must be entered on StarFire page, not in implement setup on GreenStar page. Implement receiver height is working height of receiver with implement in ground. Mount receiver as close to center of implement, and as close to steering system as possible. Only enter offsets for left and right. Set fore and aft dimensions to 0. If receiver is positioned off center to the right, select Shifted Right and enter number of inches it is off center. If receiver is positioned off center to the left, select Shifted Left and enter number of inches it is off center. For optimal system performance, mount implement receiver directly above the control point in relation to fore/aft position. If system is not reacting favorably on hilly terrain, adjust receiver mounting location closer to control point. System Steers in One Direction Check system for in-line check valves and remove them. If no change, use following steps: Swap hydraulic hoses around. After changing hydraulic hoses, calibrate max left, center, and max right positions. If system steers in opposite direction, determine which direction is extend, and which direction is retract. Calibrate max left, center, and max right positions. Center calibration is critical to line acquisition. If implement does not track straight, calibrate center position. If system continues to steer in one direction after swapping hydraulic lines: 1. Turn off machine. 2. Unhook 10-pin and 4-pin connectors on controller. 3. Start machine and let up system boot. 4. Turn off machine. Continued on next page BA31779,00006BE DEC13-1/ PN=34

35 Tuning and Adjustment 5. Connect 10-pin and 4-pin connectors. Side Shift 3-Point Hitch Locks in One Direction An implement feedback sensor is not required with side shift hitch applications. If hitch is shifting fully to left, or right, and getting hung up in that position, install an implement feedback sensor and sensor harness. After installing sensor, change control selection from Implement Shifting, to Implement Steering. After changing control selection, calibrate left, center, and right positions.

Machine not steering to line EC displayed on SCV display. Push correct SCV control lever into detent to bring up AC mode. Hydraulic steering not responding well Steering cylinder leaking fluid. Insufficient machine hydraulic pressure. Counterbalance valve improperly adjusted. Check for leakage. See service Section for more information. Repair or replace cylinder. See your John Deere dealer for assistance. Check machine hydraulic pressure. See machine Operator's Manual for more information. Ensure hydraulic oil is warmed up. Use correct size hydraulic cylinders for machine pressure. Adjust counterbalance valve cartridges and perform threshold calibration. Hydraulic hoses connected improperly or poorly. Check hose O-rings, connect properly, and tighten connections. Continued on next page BA31779,00006B DEC13-1/ PN=38

39 Troubleshooting Symptom Problem Solution Loss of display and operation of implement Valve is frozen. Active Implement Guidance settings incorrect. Dirty or loose 4-pin connection at rear of machine. GreenStar harness improperly connected. Electrical short in harness. Manually cycle hydraulic cylinders, to the full right and left. If condition repeats, oil may be contaminated causing plugging, or SCV may require a shuttle valve to prevent it from going into Desilting Mode during low flow conditions. Verify movement of system with extend and retract tests moves fluidly and adjust sensitivities and thresholds accordingly. Clean connectors and reconnect tightly. Power down machine and system, disconnect harness, clean, and install properly. Check electrical wiring for breaks, shorts, and damage. BA31779,00006B DEC13-2/2 Troubleshooting Active Implement Guidance External Valve Cannot get External Valve to function properly. 1. Make sure Implement Steering is selected for SCV1. 2. Select the settings button (arrow and dot); is there a button that reads External Valve Setup or SCV Threshold Setup? If it shows SCV Threshold Setup then the controller is not recognizing the external valve is installed. 3. In the Message Center under the Controllers menu, make sure there is controller address 0x81 (valve address). If not, troubleshoot the implement CAN bus - if the implement receiver does not show up on the screen there is likely a CAN bus problem. There is an LED on the valve that is on if the valve is powered and it claims address 0x81 if the CAN is working properly. 4. Check the I/O Voltages page. Make sure the Sense Volt reads close to zero. If it reads around to 5 V, then it means RE58827 harness is plugged in and needs to be removed (turn off tractor before unplugging harness). This harness (RE58827) tells the controller the external valve is on a tractor with integrated valves and the external SCV control lever does not work. In this case External Valve Setup button is not present. 5. Watch the Digital 1 line. If the external valve controller (the extra SCV lever) is centered (and not touching it), the value should be 1 and when moved off center it should be 0. If that is not happening, then confirm connections between harnesses PFP10967 and PFP Make sure that it is plugged into the controller harness and not the implement receiver or front extension harness (the same connector is used both places). Check that pins are not backed out. 6. Check the color of the LED on the Valve. The LED has three colors: - Red - Internal error on valve software. - Orange - Valve is NOT receiving a command to move or command is zero. - Green - Controller is commanding valve to move. CAUTION: If system starts working implement could move. 7. The LED is red if the hydraulic pressure is hooked up backwards or if there is back pressure on the left/right ports. To release back pressure put tractor hydraulics in float, and then cycle external SCV control lever. A power cycle is required to clear the error on the valve. If that does not release the pressure on the work ports then it must be relieved manually by putting the tractor hydraulics in float and relieve pressure by moving the external valve spool with the supplied handle. CAUTION: Hydraulics can move when handle is moved. BA31779, SEP12-1/ PN=39
