Yes. Version 25 firmware for the AFS Pro 600 display allows mapping varieties by "seed left" and "seed right".
The issue from the 2009 planting season that prevented mapping varieties by "seed left" and "seed right" while using AccuRow row shut-off has been resolved in version 25 display software.
Large Tractor software version 21.2 (and higher) enables data-logging and area-counting to be controlled via the primary hydraulic valve (EHR1).
In AFS Pro 600 Large Tractor software versions prior to v21.2, data-recording and area-counting (collectively referred to as Work Control) could be controlled via the three-point hitch (3PH). v21.2 continues this function and adds control via the EHR1.
In the AFS Pro 600 display, the operator uses the Implement Type window on the Toolbox > Implement screen to select the appropriate Work Control option for the current implement.
If "EHR 1 Implement" is selected, the implement is considered to be "working" when the primary remote valve is retracted or in float, and the implement is considered to be "not working" when the primary remote valve is extended.
If "Hitch Implement" is selected, the implement is considered to be "working" when the hitch is lowered, and "not working" when the hitch is raised, based on the Implement Working Depth set in the Work Condition > Hitch Notebook screen.
NOTE: v21.2 Large Tractor software may require updates to the software installed in other tractor controllers, to ensure that all features are available.
The procedure to engage AFS AccuGuide autoguidance on Axial-Flow 88 Series (5088, 6088, and 7088) and Axial-Flow 10 and 20 Series combines (7010, 8010, 7120, 8120, and 9120) has changed.
For the following software versions, AFS AccuGuide autoguidance can be engaged by pressing the Header Resume button once (see photo right). This action simultaneously returns the header to the preset cutting height, and engages autoguidance, all with a single button press.
- Axial-Flow 88 Series vehicle software version 21.1.0.0 or prior
- Axial-Flow 10/20 Series vehicle software version 21.4.0.0 or prior
If your combine is loaded with Axial-Flow 88 Series vehicle software version 21.2 or higher, or with Axial-Flow 10/20 Series vehicle software version 21.4.1.0 or higher, AFS AccuGuide autoguidance can be engaged by a "double-click" of the Shift button. The shift button is located on the front side of the Multi Function Handle (the side closest to the front of the combine - see photo left). To use the Shift button to engage autoguidance, the feeder must be engaged.
The Header Resume button now only serves to return the header to the preset cutting height, and no longer affects autoguidance operation.
There is a need for multiple GPS outputs from the 162, 252, and 262 GPS receivers.
This is especially common when exporting GPS to a secondary control or logging system on an AccuGuide-equipped vehicle. When trying to engage AccuGuide, the AFS Pro 600 displays FAULT 62, which indicates a PPS (pulse per second) error in the circuit between the GPS receiver and the Nav II controller. Autoguidance will not engage. This condition is found most often on tractors running AccuGuide autoguidance and pulling a planter that runs row clutches via a second control system (not via the AFS Pro 600).
Use CNH part number ZTN55224 to export GPS signals from a 162, 252, or 262 receiver to a 3rd-party device. This cable is designed to allow Port C to be utilized when Ports A and B are already in use (for example, when using RTK and the Joey radio). The pin in location 4 of the 12-pin Deutsch connector at the receiver is the PPS wire. The PPS can be thought of as the "heartbeat" between the receiver and Nav II controller. If you use a cable other than ZTN55224, it is very likely that the cable has a terminal in the #4 location, and this either dilutes the PPS signal so the Nav II cannot recognize the signal, or resets the receiver configuration so it can no longer communicate with the Nav II controller. Cable ZTN55224 does not have a terminal in the #4 location.
