IntroductionAutoLine is a system for the track-independent creation of tram lines with GPS. The tram lines are not controlled via the working signal of the machine as with conventional tram line control, but via GPS.This eliminates the need for connecting tram lines, so that beds can be created and workflows improved. After creating the first track lead track (AB track / contour track), all tram lines are automatically calculated by HORSCH AutoLine.Whenever the drill enters a track containing a tram line, the corresponding tram line valves are actuated. The function can be used in conjunction with HORSCH Touch Terminals from software version 02.20.11 and the E-Manager software version 10.09.This requires the TramLine Management license.

Prerequisites• HORSCH Terminal Touch

Software version 02.20.11• Job computer E-Manager Midi

Software version 10.09• GPS

(RTK quality recommended)• Licence Tramline Management• Licence TRACK Leader II

OperationSettings must also be made in the E-Manager and the terminal itself.

E-Manager configuration ¾ Follow the operating instructions for the E-Manager to access the Configuration menu.

CONFIGURATION

The pre-emergence markers are con-trolled with this softkey. If the softkey is shaded green, the pre-emergence markers are lowered when the tram line is activated.If the softkey is shaded grey, the pre-emergence markers remain in the top position if the tram line is activated.

The tram line function can be enabled or disabled with this softkey.

With this softkey the settings for GPS-con-trolled tram lines are accessed.

Softkey for activating/deactivating the track recording function in the Task-Controller. If the function is activated, the middle of the tram line for the crop protection machine is recorded in the TRACK Leader and shown in yellow.

4. Symm. valvesThis indicates whether the tram line valves are arranged symmetrically or not.The E-Manager receives this information from the settings on the tram lines (see item Number of section).

5. Half working width offsetHere the operator can select whether drilling shall start with an offset of half a working width toward the edge of the field.When moving the tram lines by half a working width, the crop protection machine can drive in the tractor tracks of the seed. Example: Tram line rhythm 2S

• Working width of drill: 6 m • Working width of crop protection machine:

12 m• The tram line valves are installed symmet-

rically on the machine.

NOTE

When selecting a tram line rhythm that requires an offset of half a working width, the offset must be set manually. No automatic selection is made.

The following message appears if the con-figuration of the tram line valves does not correspond to the selected tram line rhythm:

Impermissibleconfiguration.

Configuration can only be used in

manual tram linemode.

¾ Check the configuration of the tram line valves and the tram line rhythm again and change accordingly to be able to use AutoLine.

Example

The following rhythm shall be set:

The PopUp appears in the event of errors, e.g. in the following cases:

• Both tram line valves are installed on the left side of the machine.

• Three tram lines (tram line areas) are installed on one side of the machine.

• If the valves are arranged symmetrically, a rhythm is set that requires symmetric arrange-ment of the tram line valves.

Configuration TRACK Leader IIActivating AutoLine

NOTE

The terms AutoLine and TRAMLINE Management are to be used synonymously.

¾ Activate the options TRACK Leader II (license required) and TRAMLINE Management (license required) on the terminal using the activation code. This activates the license. In addition, a checkmark must be placed in the settings of the TRACK Leader; note the following figures on this:

General

TRACK Leader AUTO

TRACK Leader TOP

Starting AutoLine ¾ Start the navigation in the TRACK Leader. ¾ Create lead tracks (AB tracks) if none are yet available.

¾ Select whether you want to work in automatic or manual working mode.

AB tracks in which tram lines are created are shown in violet on the terminal; the currently active AB track appears in blue. The middle of the tram line is shown in yellow as lead track for the crop protection machine, if the documentation function was activated in the machine settings. The respective softkey is described in the E-Manager configuration section.

NOTE

Faulty tram line with wrong direction of travel!

When entering the field opposite the stipulated direction of travel of the tram line rhythm, the tram lines are not created correctly.

• The direction is shown when the tram lines are arranged asymmetrically.

• No direction is shown when the tram lines are arranged symmetrically.

¾ Always pay attention to the stipulated direc-tion of travel of the tram line rhythm!

Changing the AutoLine working modeTwo working modes are available when TRAM-LINE Management is activated:• Automatic mode (AutoLine)

The system creates the tram lines automat-ically.

• Manual modeCreating a tram line is controlled via the work-ing signal of the drill.

Softkey for switching between auto-matic mode and manual mode.

The terminal shows which mode is activated:Symbol Meaning

Automatic mode activated.

Manual mode activated.

AutoLine cannot be activated since no lead tracks were created.

Move tram lines to another passWhen creating tram lines in automatic mode, they are transferred to the machine by AutoLine.

¾ Adjust the current number of pass manually if it does not correspond to the desired pass. The numbers and colour displays are adjusted here accordingly in the terminal.

Symbol MeaningIncreasing the current number of the pass.

Reducing the current number of the pass.

NOTE

¾ Move the tram lines only before starting to work!

Moving the tram lines while drilling destroys the rhythm and makes the tram lines created unusable for further work with other machines.

NOTE

Faulty tram line with wrong direction of travel!

When entering the field opposite the stipulated direction of travel of the tram line rhythm, the tram lines are not created correctly.

• The direction is shown when the tram lines are arranged asymmetrically.

• No direction is shown when the tram lines are arranged symmetrically.

¾ Always pay attention to the stipulated direc-tion of travel of the tram line rhythm!

10 11

Inverting AB track for tram lines ¾ Check whether the created lead track in the TRACK Leader corresponds to the direction of travel in the AB orientation so that the tram lines are created in the correct passes.

¾ Check whether the orientation of the AB tracks matches the desired starting field edge and invert the tram lines if necessary.

Example

The orientation of the AB tracks is correct, the tram lines are created in the correct passes:

10 11

The direction of travel does not correspond to the created AB track. The tram lines are created in wrong passes:

¾ Invert the AB track.To do this, press the softkey to invert the AB track.

Softkey for inverting the AB track.

Shall the AB track for tram linesreally be inverted?

Yes No

PopUp - must be confirmed for inverting

NOTE

¾ Invert the AB tracks only before starting the automatic tram line system!

¾ Inversion during operation destroys the tram line rhythm.

System boundaries• Asymmetrical tram line rhythms in both direc-

tions can only be used if tram line valves are fitted at the appropriate position and in the correct number on the machine.

• If AutoLine is switched off, for example when driving around obstacles, tram lines are no longer recorded. The tram lines remain activated but are no longer recorded.
