What Is ISOBUS?

What Does This Mean?

ISOBUS is an international standardised communication protocol that allows different agricultural equipment to communicate through a common language.

The ISOBUS control system allows the operator to connect and control different implements using the same tractor, Virtual Terminal (VT) screen for all applications.

AUXILIARY INPUTS

Joystick Controllers

Switch Boxes

The explorer joystick allows management of all spraying and hydraulic functions directly from the handle.

Either 5 or 7 direct section switches, or a sequential switch box allows the user to command up to 13 boom sections using only two switches, one for the right side and one for the left side.

•

Tactile feedback about status messages will be transmitted through vibration.

•

Custom setup option

•

Keys to control up to 39 functions

•

4 status LED

•

Silicon rubber back-lit keyboard

•

Completely waterproof IP65.

A special software controlling boom sections allows the operator to work according to the preset mode and control more sections or half booms at the same time by simply activating just one control.

•

Available with 5, 7 or 13 boom sections

•

Versions with 7 or 9 hydraulic functions.

Boom Recirculation System (BRS)

High Flow (OPTIONAL)

Arag ISOBUS makes BRS easy! The BRS allows the boom to be plumbed in a single boom line recirculation configuration. This that means when the master switch (dump valve) is switched in the OFF position, the flow continues to travel through the boom and back to the tank. The BRS prevents heavy particles from settling in the boom line by allowing the full flow of the pump being returned to tank when not spraying, helping to prevent possible contamination.

BRS also helps keep the chemicals agitated and the boom primed for the recommencement of spraying in the current field or the beginning of a spray job in a new field.

What Is 3TS? A Three Tier System (3TS) provides three different nozzle configurations using a combination of nozzles, giving the operator more versatility while spraying. The below example uses 01 & 015 nozzles @ 70 l/ha.

FIRST TIER

SECOND TIER

THIRD TIER

As acceleration starts 01 nozzles activate and operate from 8 to 12 kph.

As acceleration increases 01 nozzles turn OFF at approx 12 kph, 015 nozzles turn ON and spray up to 15 kph.

As acceleration increases from 15 to 25kph, 01 + 015 nozzles will be spraying (01+015=025) giving 3 Tier Spraying).
