Chapter1Introduction

Sprayer & Spreader Control Systems

The Raven SCS 4000/5000 Series control systems are designed to simplify sprayer or spreader applications

by providing speed compensated product application regardless of the vehicle speed while adjusting for thewidth and status of programmed boom sections and a target rate set by the operator. SCS control systemsimprove the uniformity of product coverage for up to five liquid (carrier or chemical injection) or granularproducts via product control nodes connected to a CAN, or Controller Area Network.

Once properly installed and calibrated for the machine and application type, the operator sets the targetapplication rate for each product to be controlled by the SCS 4000/5000 Series console. Simply toggle theboom and master switches to the on positions and go. The console and product control nodes adjust thecontrol valves to the target application rate regardless of vehicle speed or gear selection.

During product application, the SCS 4000/5000 Series consoles also function as an area monitor, speedmonitor, and volume totalizer. The actual volume per area, or weight per area, is displayed for each productand a manual override switch allows the operator to manually adjust application of each product for systemcheck-out and spot spraying.

NOTICEPerformance of the system relies on properinstallation of the SCS system and preventivemaintenance of the complete sprayer orspreader. Raven Industries recommends thatthe equipment operator review this manualthoroughly before operating the system. This

manual provides procedures for installing andoperating the SCS console and CAN productcontrol system.

The following guidelines will assure proper installation of the radar speed sensor:

1. Park vehicle on a level surface.2. Select a mounting location for the radar sensor considering:

a. The radar sensor must have a clear line of sight from the lens to the ground and must not beobstructed by parts of the vehicle, tires, or other equipment.

b. The radar sensor must have a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 72 of clearance for properoperation. See Figure 4 on page 11.

c. The radar sensor must be mounted parallel to the ground with respect to the direction of vehicle travel.The sensor may be mounted at an angle between 0 and 15 degrees perpendicular to the direction oftravel to provide more clearance or a clear line of sight to the lens. SeeFigure 4 on page 11.

d. The radar should be mounted so that the length of the radar beam is parallel with direction of travel.

3. Use a carpenters level to verify that the mounting bracket is parallel to the ground.

4. Bolt the mounting bracket securely to the vehicle.5. Bolt the radar sensor to the mounting bracket using the supplied mounting hardware. See Figure 4 on

page 11.

6. Using the radar interface cable (P/N 115-0159-539), connect the radar sensor to the console cable.

a. Connect the red wire from the radar cable to the orange wire on the console cable.b. Connect the white wire from the radar cable to the white wire on the console cable (when available).

Installation

FIGURE 4. Raven Radar Speed Sensor Installation

Wheel Drive Speed Sensor

The wheel drive speed sensor consists of four magnets, a switch assembly and cable, and mountinghardware.

Note: Large tires and very low speed applications may require additional magnets (P/N 063-0159-584)to ensure accurate speed readings. Any even number of magnets may be used as long as theyare of alternating color.

1. Select a non-driven wheel (left front tractor wheel or implement wheel).

2. Check for pre-punched holes (not lug holes) in the rim. On vehicles with pre-drilled rims, proceed to step 3.For wheels which do not have pre-punched mounting holes, proceed as follows:

Rims with Four or Eight Hole Stud Patterns: Use the center of opposite lug holes to draw two perpendicularlines on the rim web and divide the circumference into four equal parts, or quadrants, as shown in Figure 5on page 12. Measure one inch in from the outer edge of the web on each of the lines drawn. Mark this pointas the center and drill 1/2 holes for mounting the magnets at each of these four points.

Rims with Six Hole Stud Patterns: You can use the rim webbing as a guide to locate the center of the holesto be drilled. Cut a small piece of wood to fit exactly over the web similar to the figure below. Measure andmark the center of the piece of wood on the edge that will be against the wheel rim. Using this center mark,mark each of the rim webs. Measure in one inch from the outer edge of the web on each of the lines drawn.

Mark this point as the center and drill 1/2 holes for mounting the magnets at each of these four points.

Chapter3CAN (Controller Area

Network) Setup

A Controller Area Network, or CAN, is a high-integrity serial data communications bus that operates at a datarate of 250 kilobits per second for real-time control applications and uses special CAN cables and terminatorsfor operation. The CAN protocol has excellent error detection and confinement capabilities, making it verysuitable and reliable for agricultural applications.

CAN systems allow products to be added to a control system at any time. Up to five product control nodes maybe connected to the SCS control system for any combination of l iquid, granular, chemical injection, or spinnercontrol applications.

The diagrams in this chapter show different hardware configurations for use with the SCS product controlsystem. Some diagrams show optional features which may not apply to each system. These features andcomponents are not required for CAN operation and optional features and cables may be ignored during abasic installation.

Raven CANbus System Installation

The following sections contain instructions for proper installation of the Raven CANbus system.

Best Installation Practices

The information below illustrates proper methods for wiring a CANbus system. The diagrams provided later inthis chapter are a good reference for both OEM and aftermarket installations. The main points are summarizedbelow.

Note: Following these recommendations will result in the most robust system possible while greatlyreducing CAN communication problems.

1. Always use sealed connectors with dielectric grease. Avoid unsealed, crimped connections (i.e. buttconnectors).

In addition to using dielectric grease, mount all CAN terminators (P/N 063-0172-369) with the connectorpointing down to avoid collecting water and/or chemical. Liquids collecting within the terminator can corrodepins and may cause CAN issues.

2. Connect the power directly to a controlled clean power source.

3. Connect the ground directly to the vehicles battery.

4. Node logic power should be connected to a clean power bus relay.

5. Use dedicated bus bars to connect the console and all nodes to the same source for both power andground.

6. Provide relays to switch power on and off to avoid draining the battery. Raven recommends connecting theconsole to a clean power source (at relay) and using the console orange wire to power a relay to switch aclean power source to the CAN nodes. This makes the console the master power switch and allows engineshutdown without turning off the console.

Note: If an optional DGPS receiver will be installed with the system, connecting the power (low current)to the low current bus bars will allow engine shutdown without losing GPS reception.

CAN Terminators

Two CAN terminators (P/N 063-0172-369) are required to provide optimal signal integrity through the CANbus.These terminators should be installed at each end of the CANbus. A CAN power adapter tee cable (P/N 115-0171-368) should be placed at the front of the bus with one end terminated. CAN power, obtained from aswitched power source, runs throughout the bus to act as a shield.

NOTICE

Be sure to read all safety instructions and followall installation procedures to ensure properinstallation of the CANbus system.

CAN (Contro ller A rea Network) Setup

Wiring Power to a CAN System

Wiring power to the SCS console and the CAN nodes is especially important for proper operation of thesystem. Many issues with CAN systems can be corrected by diagnosing problems related to improper wiring ofthe power and ground.

The SCS console power must be wired directly to a controlled clean power source.

See the Power Connectionsection on page 19for instructions on connecting the SCS console to a cleanpower source.

All ground wires should be connected directly to the battery ground, not to chassis ground.

The CAN logic power must be wired to a clean power bus that is connected to a clean power bus relay. Use the orange wire from the SCS console cable to switch the clean power bus relay.

The CAN high current power must be wired to a high current power bus connected to a high current powerrelay.

The high current power relay should be controlled by the vehicle ignition switch.

CAUTIONBe sure to follow the instructions for connectingthe power leads to the battery carefully.Reversing the power leads may cause damageto the SCS console.

Interfacing with an Existing CANbus system

The SCS 4000/5000 Series console may also be capable of integrating into almost any existing RavenCANbus system. To connect the SCS control system into the CANbus:

1. Insert a tee expansion cable into the CANbus line by disconnecting an existing CAN expansion cable orCAN passive terminator.

Note: When adding expansion cables or CAN nodes to the system, Raven Industries recommendsalways leaving a CAN terminator connected to the power tee cable (P/N 115-0171-368).

2. Re-connect the existing CANbus cabling to the installed expansion cable.

3. Route the remaining expansion cable connector to the 4-pin Deutsch connector on the main interface cable(P/N 115-0171-746).

Adding CAN Nodes

To add CAN nodes to the SCS control system:

1. Remove the terminator (P/N 063-0172-369) from the tee expansion cable at the end of the CAN cabling.

Note: When adding expansion cables or CAN nodes to the system, Raven Industries recommendsalways leaving a CAN terminator connected to the power tee cable (P/N 115-0171-368).

2. Connect another tee expansion cable to the 4-pin connector from which the terminator was disconnected.

3. Connect the required interface or control cable to one end of the CAN tee expansion cable. Contact yourRaven distributor for the correct part number for the application or feature being added to the CANbussystem.

4. Replace the terminator on the remaining 4-pin Deutsch connector.

Detecting CAN Nodes

The SCS 4000/5000 Series console must be able to communicate with the CANbus system to ensure that theproducts are applied correctly. The SCS console should automatically establish communication with the boom/speed node, the AccuBoom and AutoBoom nodes (if installed), and up to five product control nodes viathe CANbus.

When a node is detected, the node will the program and version of the connected node is displayed in the CANData Menu. To access the CAN Data Menu, press the DATA MENU button until CAN is highlighted at thebottom, left corner of the SCS display. Use the arrow up or down keys to scroll through the list of possiblenodes

Note: If a node is not found, troubleshoot the node to determine why SCS console cannot communicatewith the node. See the Troubleshooting section later in this chapter for more information aboutCAN communication failures.

Node Version Information

The CAN Data Menu displays program number and version of each node detected on the CANbus.

Retry CAN Initialization

If a node, or nodes, currently connected to the CANbus system are not displayed in the CAN Data Menu, pressthe POWER key to cycle power to the console. If nodes still do not display properly when the console is

45/116

Manual No. 016-0159-925 37


rebooted, the CANbus system may need to be readdressed. Proceed to the next section for instructions onreaddressing the product nodes.

Readdressing the Nodes

If the SCS console is unable to detect a CANbus node on startup, troubleshoot the CANbus and the node (seethe CAN Troubleshootingsection on page 38), and then readdress the CANbus:

Note: Only product nodes need to be addressed (single product, dual product, motor control, etc.).

1. From the main screen, press the DATA MENU button until the CAN option is highlighted in the lower, lefthand corner of the SCS display.

2. Use the up or down arrow keys to select the Readdress Control Nodes option on Page 2 of the CAN DataMenu.

3. Press the ENTER button to begin readdressing the product control nodes.

4. When prompted to reboot nodes, disconnect the logic power from the product node to be controlled asProduct 1. After approximately 3 seconds, reconnect the nodes logic power. The SCS console should haverecognized the node as Product 1.

Note: The SCS 4400/4600 consoles feature an integrated product control channel which will alwaysappear as Product 1.

5. If additional product nodes are installed in the CANbus, repeat step 4to readdress additional productnodes.

6. Press the ENTER button to finish readdressing the product nodes and resume normal operation.

Programming CANbus Nodes

The CAN nodes are programmed using the SCS console in Edit mode.

See Chapter 4, Initial Startup & Console Programming, for information on programming CAN product nodes.

Chapter 3


CAN Troubleshooting

Although the control algorithm is located within the CAN node, all of the same troubleshooting techniques thatare used in a traditional hard-wired system still apply to a CAN system and the behavior of the system remainsthe same. Flow and speed sensors, as well as the control valve and boom valves, are used in the samefashion.

CAN Node Off-line Errors

The most likely causes for losing CAN communication between the console and any one of the nodes are:

1. Corroded and/or open connections in the circuit.

2. Console and/or CAN node logic power and grounds connected to a dirty power source (dirty power isdefined as any circuit with a variable load that exceeds 1 ampere). This is especially true of circuits loadedby electrical coils.

3. Console and/or nodes connected to different power and/or ground sources. This can result in componentsoperating at different voltage planes.

Below are some common causes for communication failures:

Issue Possible Cause Solution

CANbus cannot readthe product node

The node is notconnected to the CANbus

Connect the node and reboot the SCS console to read theproduct node.

Node is not properlypowered

Connect the clean power - 16 gauge red wire and high currentpower - 12 gauge red wire from the product node to a 12V DCpower source that is capable of supplying power to all nodesconnected to the CANbus system

Node is not properlygrounded

Connect the clean ground - 16 gauge white wire and the highcurrent ground - 12 gauge white wire to a good, quality groundsource. Raven recommends grounding the wires to thenegative terminal of the battery.

CANbus ends notterminated

Make sure that both ends of the CANbus system are properlyterminated. See the CAN Terminatorssection on page 22orAdding CAN Nodessection on page 36for more information.

Corroded pins in CANbusconnections

Check CANbus cable connectors for any highly corroded pins.

Ensure dielectric grease has been applied to all cableconnections exposed to weather and field conditions.

Moisture in connection

Check CANbus cable connectors for any corroded pins.

Ensure dielectric grease has been applied to all cableconnections exposed to weather and field conditions.

Connectors not seated

properly

Check that all CANbus cable connectors are inserted fully (untilthe locking tab is engaged).

Be sure to remove any moisture in connections which were notproperly seated. Check for corroded pins and apply dielectricgrease when reconnecting CANbus cables.

Variable Rate Change Alarm

Enable or disable audible and visual alarm upon a variable rate change. When on, an alarm sounds 4 longbeeps when a rate calibration number is changed via the serial port using a valid rate change request datastring.

Trigger ValueThe trigger value determines how often data is sent to the serial port (See Chapter 15, Serial Interface & DataString Formats). The trigger value is the number of trigger units between data strings. Data logger functions willnot work until a non-zero trigger value is set.

Trigger Units

Used in data logging mode. The trigger unit is selectable between feet, meters, or seconds.

Additional Serial Options

SCS 4400/4600:

Data Direction

Select Save Data to Card or Pass Data Through Comm Port (used to communicate to an external device).When Save Data to Card is selected, the datalog software version will be shown for reference.

COM 1 Stop Bits

Select between one or two stop bits for communicating with a GPS receiver.

PWM Frequency

Used to set the coil frequency of PWM valve (default is 122 Hz). Refer to the PWM control valve manufacturerspecifications for recommended PWM frequency.

Preset PWM Offset (PWM Valves Only)

When valve selection is programmed in PWM-Close mode, this can be set to provide an initial pulse width tothe valve upon turning on booms or product. When programmed to zero, pulse width will return to previousstate. When non-zero, initial pulse width can be selected between 1 (slow) and 255 (full scale). Whenprogrammed in PWM Valve mode, PWM output will not exceed this value if non-zero when booms are off.

Rate Bump Delta

Sets the increment at which rate cal is increased or decreased using INC/DEC switch while in AUTO operation.

Low Flow Limit

If actual volume/minute falls below the assigned limit, the control valve will be controlled to Low Flow Limit and

Low Limit Alarm is activated. This value is automatically proportioned to the percentage of booms that are on(i.e. if the entered low limit is 4 and half the total boom length is shut off, the console automatically reduces thelow limit to 2). Low Limit Value is entered in GPM [lit/ha] or PPM [ka/ha].

Low Tank

When level in tank falls below the volume/tank value, the low level alarm is activated. The alarm will deactivatewhen the booms are turned OFF or a value equal to or greater than the low tank value is entered as theVOLUME/TANK. Entering 0 in Low Tank disables the alarm.

Valve Delay

This value is the delay between when the SCS console will control flow rate after the booms have been turnedon. This setting can be set between 0-9 seconds.

This delay is active if the time between turning OFF and turning ON the booms is less than 30 seconds.

Spreader Constant

The spreader constant should be set at zero when applying liquid products.

See theSpreader Constantsection on page 69for details on calculating the spreader constant. The spreaderconstant may be entered during initial console programming or through the Data Menu.

Valve Cal 2

This value can fine tune control valve response and help control application rate oscillations when the consoleis programmed in PWM mode.

When a fast close valve is selected, valve cal 2 is utilized to enable a high resolution rate control for lowerapplication rates. Enter a non-zero value for the time, in milliseconds, which the valve will be fully openedbefore switching into high resolution control. For example, a value of 200 will give the valve a 200 millisecondburst at a full 12V to open the fast valve from the closed position before resuming product rate control. A zerovalue will disable this feature.

Pump Cal/Fan Cal

Set the number of pulses per revolution of the pump or fan for Pump/Fan RPM readout.

Dual Sensor Alarm %

For liquid chemical injection applications, sets tolerance between flow switch monitor and flow readings beforeFLOW SW alarm is enacted. For Gran 3 applications, sets tolerance between dual encoder readings beforeDUAL FLOW alarm is enacted (Boom Select feature must be set up for only booms being used). Out oftolerance condition must be met for 5 seconds before alarm occurs.

Vacuum or Bin Level Alarm

When controlling chemical injection, the vacuum alarm can be enabled or disabled. For granular applications,a bin level sensor can be enabled or disabled. Disable this feature if a bin level sensor is not present or whenthe SCS console is not controlling injection.

Flow Switch Alarm (Chemical Injection Unit)

When controlling chemical injection, the flow switch alarm can be enabled or disabled. Disable when notcontrolling injection.

Note: The flow switch alarm setting is only displayed for products controlled by a motor control node.

Valve Advance (Standard or Fast Valve)

This feature allows the operator to set the amount of time (in seconds) in which the valve will be opened uponall boom sections being turned off and control in automatic (AUTO). A value of 1-9 means an advance of 1-9seconds respectively. A value of 0 means no advance. This setting may be used in conjunction with the valvedelay for low rate applications to build up pressure when the master switch is toggled on. For best results,

approach the headlands at consistant speeds while turning all boom sections off.

Pressure

When equipped with pressure transducer(s), this area will display the current PSI [KPA/BAR]. Press CE totoggle between PSI, KPA, and BAR. If no pressure transducer is installed, NOT INST will be displayed.

Pressure 2 Cal

Used to calibrate pressure transducer #2. With pump turned off and 0 PSI [KPA] on the line, enter a Pressure 2of 0.

Agitator

If equipped with an injection system featuring an agitator enabled output, this option enables or disables achemical agitator.

PWM Output

Indicated position (output status) of PWM valve. Value will range from 0 (valve fully closed) to 255 (valve fullyopen). This can be used to fine tune the PWM low and high offsets.

VLV STATUS (when not programmed in PWM mode)
