Notes
- This release was used for the development of the v2.00 release and was only available for select situations.
IC45 Sprayer v1.07 - April 2023
Notes
- Requires PLP12 software version 1.10 or later
New Features
- On systems with hydraulic pump speed control and a regulating valve:
- The maximum pressure (pump speed) can be preset.
- The pump speed on a circulating boom system can be preset for an All Booms OFF state.
- Pressure spikes on DynaJet systems are minimized when switching from DynaJet Auto mode to Manual mode, and from DynaJet Manual mode to Auto mode.
- PID regulation parameters can now be set for both low and high flow rates resulting in the regulation being more responsive and stable over a wide range of rates.
- In Curve calibration for Hydraulic Pump control, the PWM2 setting can be preset to < 100% before doing the calibration to reduce the possibility of system damage from high pressure during calibration.
- The regulation valve is set to the Default Valve Position during power up and tank fill.
- Maximum frequency for the hydraulic valve controlling pump speed has been increased from 800 to 1200 Hz.
- Supports EcoStop v1.00 (release pending).
- Alarms for TrackMatic errors have been implemented.
- TrackMatic software version is now displayed in the Help page.
Fixes
- Corrects problem when using the Manual VRA symmetric copy function that could result in the system becoming unresponsive.
- Problems corrected on systems with hydraulic pump speed control and a regulating valve:
- With Master OFF, if the idle pressure setting could not be achieved within 2x the regulation valve speed time, the valve would go to the default position. Now the regulating valve remains full open and pump speed is maintained.
- If in DynaJet Calculated flow mode and Master is OFF, the agitation valve remained closed. Now it is turned ON when in this state.
- The Hydraulic pump calibration curve was not loaded correctly when changing to an alternate boom configuration.
- The Fill Pump RPM was not deployed correctly from TankMatic v2 if set prior to activating the Tank Fill function.
- System was sometimes slow to control to the correct pump speed when the Master switch was turned OFF.
- Corrects problem where the Shortened section mode was not deployed correctly on systems with DynaJet.
- Corrects problem where PLP modules may be missing during power up.
- Corrects problem where the Spray pattern "Previous Menu" button would only go back to the previous spray pattern page, not the previous menu.
- Corrects problem where a soft-key 'Press and Hold' action was not released when finger was slid off the soft-key.
- Corrects problem where the number of boom sections on a DynaJet system was sometimes not retained through a power cycle.
- Corrects problem where the number of nozzles per section was not deployed correctly on machines that have both DynaJet and Classic mode configurations.
- Corrects problem where 'Bypass' functions in the Sprayset did not work correctly on systems that included DynaJet.
- Corrects problem where Manual VRA encoding was incorrect if Manual VRA was enabled before doing the encoding.
IC45 Sprayer v1.03 - January 2023
Notes
- Should as minimum use PLP12 software version 1.10.
New Features
- It is now possible to use the sprayer with and without DynaJet without changing the sprayset.xml file (sprayer/fertilized mode), since the configurations file supports two configurations. Selection is done from the GUI and requires a reboot.
- Added up/down control of incorporator (chemical tank) when used together with TankMatic.
- Added PLP12 alarms when PLP12 has entered a safe state. This may happen when an output is overloaded.
- Added diagnostic page that provides detailed information about PLP12 safe state.
- Added encoding of the hysteresis for agitation on/off tank level.
- Added menu for enabling stop of agitation when filling is active.
Fixes
- The maximum allowed current supply from an individual PLP12 output has been increased from 3A to 3.5A.
- Pressing two softkeys simultaneously will only activate one function.
IC45 Sprayer v1.02 - July 2022
Notes
- Should as minimum use PLP12 software version 1.10.
New Features
- External Master input can now be:
- Steady +12 volts (Requires a 620 ohm resistor between the +12 volts and pin 1 of the IC45).
- Pulse signal +12 volts. (Requires a 620 ohm resistor between the +12 volts and pin 1 of the IC45).
- Steady GND
- Pulse GND
- Added the functionality to stop application outside of field boundary.
- Improved precision of tank volume measurement with tank level sensor.
- Added maximum pressure setting for hydraulic pump control modes.
- DynaJet IC7140 saturated nozzle information is normally shown as a part of the boom icon on the work page. This information can now be disabled. (Saturated nozzles are where the duty cycle has reached maximum or minimum value and action should be considered such as adjusting speed of vehicle.)
- DynaJet IC7140 and Pump menus have been moved to the Machine Setup menu for easier access.
- Improved Idle and Minimum pressure regulation in hydraulic pump setup, used for systems without DynaJet IC7140. It is now possible to encode a "Minimum Pump RPM Master OFF" and "Minimum Pump RPM Master ON".
- "Minimum Pump RPM Master OFF", helps ensure enough pump pressure when idle pressure is active.
- "Minimum Pump RPM Master ON" helps ensure enough pump pressure when minimum pressure has to be maintained while spraying. This is important if pump RPM is dependent on the vehicle speed and if the speed becomes so low, that pump RPM is not sufficient for maintaining adequate pressure.
Fixes
- The power supply voltage value shown on the diagnostic page has been corrected.
- Hydraulic functions can now be controlled via AUX control devices (example: ISOBUS Joystick).
- Fixed unlock codes for bed application features: Section Pattern (allows setups with manually made nozzles on/off patterns) and Manual VRA (allows for different rates across the boom).
- The information softkey on work screen is now working correctly.
- Corrected update of ISM switchbox section status after a power cycle.
- When operating DynaJet IC7140 in flow mode, the red warning arrow on the work screen located next to the pressure bar graph could lock-up. If DynaJet IC7140 configuration "Keep Flow" is ON, then pressure is increased/decreased depending on vehicle speed. If pressure falls out of selected drop size range, the warning is shown, so vehicle speed can be adjusted.
- Corrected LED colors on ISOBUS switchbox v2.
- "Agitation opposite master" setting is now working correctly.
