System Overview Diagram

The system diagram illustrates the integration of various components. At the core is the EcoStop Interface Module, which connects wirelessly (Wi-Fi) to a Mobile Device. It interfaces with the tractor's system and spray boom controls. Key components include:

• EcoStop Interface Module: The central control unit.
• EcoStop Drivers (Start, 8 Channel, End): Control individual nozzle banks.
• Boom Interface Module (BIM) or Implement Status Module (ISM): Connects to the machine's boom valve harness.
• RXA52 Antenna: For GPS positioning (not detailed in this section but shown in context).
• Matrix 908: A display unit (also shown in context).
• Power Connections: '+12VDC' connections for left and right boom power.
• Cabling: Includes power extension cables, e-Chemsaver cables, and TeeJet CAN cables.

The diagram shows how these components are interconnected, including connections to the tractor's power supply and the spray boom valves for up to 32-nozzle or 80-nozzle systems.

Boom Interface Module Harness Connection

Connecting the Boom Interface Module Harness involves tapping into the existing boom section cable that runs from the machine's switchbox to the boom valves. The exact location for this connection cannot be specified due to varying machine configurations.

Guidelines for connection:

1. Identify the boom section cable running from the Boom Switchbox to the boom valves.
2. Use a T-Tap (or similar product) to connect into the signal wire.
3. NOTE: In some cases, the Boom Interface Module Harness wires can be connected directly to the switches inside the Switchbox using the proper spade terminal.
4. Repeat this process for each individual boom section.

The diagram shows a Rate Controller connected to the Boom Interface Module Harness, which then uses a Wire Tap to connect to the Boom Valve Signal Wire.
