DirectCommand Installation Ag Leader Technology Setting Up the Display 1. Refer to the Quick Reference Guide, PN: 2002831-39 for setting up the Display. 2. Enter the default settings from the following charts for the initial setup. Setting Name Control Valve Configuration Controller Settings Spinner Tab Default Description Value PWM Setting specifies the type of control valve being used for the rate control functions of the controlling system. PWM Frequency 100 Gain* 100 The frequency that the PWM control valve is pulsed at. Settings can be found from the manufacturer of the valve. Typical settings range from 100-125 Hz. Determines how aggressively the control valve responds when making spinner speed adjustments. The higher the value the more aggressive the system response is. NOTE: Leaving all other valve control settings at the default value and making a small adjustment to the Gain is usually all that is required to fine-tune the control system. Zero RPM Offset Fan Speed Cal Auto Control Check Box 30 4 Default is unchecked Represents the maximum duty cycle that is sent to the control valve without producing any hydraulic flow from the PWM valve. Using too high of a Zero RPM Offset value can cause the spinner system to not properly shut off. See the PWM valve manufacturer information for recommended settings. The number of pulses that are generated by the sensor during one revolution of the spinner dish. Checking the Auto Control check box allows you to control the spinner speed. PN: 2005938 Rev. C October 2013 Page 17 of 18
Ag Leader Technology Setting Name Control Valve Configuration DirectCommand Installation Controller Settings Channel Tab Default Description Value Servo Setting specifies the type of control valve being used for the rate control functions of the controlling system. Response Threshold Valve Response 1 Valve Response 2 Allowable Error Shaft Speed Cal Max Conveyor Speed 15 40 8 2% 180 60 Determines where the control channel switches between using Valve Response 1 and Valve Response 2 speed setting. Leaving all other valve control settings at the default value and making a small adjustment to this setting is usually all that is required to fine-tune system performance. Decreasing this value will have the overall effect of speeding up servo valve response. Increasing this value will have the overall effect of slowing servo valve response. Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error exceeds the Response Threshold setting. Valve Response 1 represents the fast speed of the servo valve. Decreasing the value will cause the servo valve to run slower. Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error is less than the Response Threshold setting. Valve Response 2 represents the slow speed of the servo valve. Decreasing the value will cause the servo valve to run slower. Determines the percent of error that is allowed prior to the product control system making any flow rate changes. 2% - 3% is the normal dead band setting range. Too low of a setting value can cause the product control system to continually hunt for the target application rate. Too high of a setting will cause excessive product application error. Calibration number representing the pulses that equal one revolution of the rate control metering system. Setting determines the maximum RPM of the conveyor that controls product distribution to the application point. Page 18 of 18 October 2013 PN: 2005938 Rev. C
