- Legacy Series CAN Terminals - Legacy™ 6000
Imagine having a single control system with the capability of
managing all of your application tasks from the simplest to the
most demanding. From variable rate seeding with fertilizing to
multiple product application of dry and/or liquid products at
the same time, the Mid-Tech Legacy 6000 system does it all.
The tasks
can be done individually or all together with a single console
using Mid-Tech’s new Legacy 6000 system. It’s built
of modular components combined to make a custom fit in each installation.
This flexibility opens a wider range of options than ever before.
It also means this system is uniquely capable of supporting future
growth quickly, easily and without duplicating your investment.
There are
four modules in all. The console in the cab is one of these modules
and the one with which people are most familiar. The other modules
manage product control, the switches in the system like those
that regulate boom sections on a sprayer or seed bins in an air
seeder, and other network functions. All modules are linked together
with a single, heavyduty communications and power cable, or bus.
When we say
flexible, we mean it. An application requiring multiple product
control would simply use a Product Control Module for each channel.
The Switch Sense Module likewise monitors up to 20 boom sections.
If there were 30 boom sections to manage, an additional Switch
Sense Module connected to the network would instantly expand the
system.
Adding a module
is easy. It’s about the size of a paperback book and can
be mounted anywhere on the chassis. It plugs into the network
and is instantly recognized. Software wizards guide you through
the set-up process. Servicing the system in the field is just
as simple, with built-in diagnostic tools to make the job easy.
What makes
this system so flexible and robust? It is a CAN bus system, a
Controller Area Network, connected by a high-speed cable or bus,
which allows a vast amount of information to be shared across
the system. This self-managing system constantly monitors its
own operational status, and reports any inconsistencies to the
operator before they become a problem. It’s an entirely
new way of looking at product control and how to manage it.
