8.2.11. Implement Sensor

*Screen type = Double List

The Implement Sensor parameter is used to configure the installation of the inductive sensor that identifies the lifting position of the implement – whether it is lowered or raised. This type of sensor is commonly used in sowing implements, which only when they are lowered cause the seeds to be planted in the path covered by the tractor. When identifying the implement sensor in the state Down, the system GeoNave automatically triggers the trail, without the need for any action by the user. And, in the same way, when detecting the implement in the state Lifted up, the trail is automatically turned off.

The possible values ​​for the Implement Sensor parameter are shown in the table below.

Depending on the value of the Implement Sensor parameter, its configuration screen assumes different numbers of lines.

• Disabled – Only the line * Implement Sensor is shown, as shown in the following image.

• Enabled – CX-8 or Enabled CX-9 – In addition to the Implement Sensor line, the Sensor Assembly and Sensor Status lines are shown, as shown in the figure below.

The Sensor Assembly subparameter is a configuration used to inform the system GeoNave the detection logic of the inductive sensor. For assembly Normal, when the inductive sensor identifies some metallic surface, the implement is considered as Down. For the assembly Inverted, logic goes in the opposite way.

To access the Sensor Assembly subparameter screen, select the item on the Implement Sensor screen and press the edit button , as shown in the figure below.

The Sensor Assembly subparameter screen is then displayed, as shown in the following image.

The third line of the Implement Sensor parameter screen table represents the reading state of the inductive sensor, depending on the chosen assembly. The following table shows the value of the Sensor State according to the detection of the metallic surface by the inductive sensor, and the configuration of the sensor assembly.
