Introduction

AutoLine 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 workows

improved.

After creating the rst 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

Operation

Settings must also be made in the E-Manager

and the terminal itself.

¾Select the tram line rhythm according to the

working width of the drill and the crop protec-

tion machine; follow the operating instructions

for the E-Manager.

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.

1. Number of coulter

2. Number of section

Machines without half-width shut-o have

one section. Machines with half-width shut-

o have two sections (left side of machine

- Section 1, right side of machine - Section 2).

3. Tram line valves

This species whether a tram line valve is

installed on the respective coulter.

structure of a drill with dierently arranged

tram line valves.

4. Symm. valves

This 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 oset

Here the operator can select whether drilling

shall start with an oset of half a working width

toward the edge of the eld.

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 oset of half a working width, the oset must

be set manually.

No automatic selection is made.

6. Starting headland

Here the operator must select at which edge

of the eld drilling shall start.

The conguration is complete once all set-

tings are correct.

NOTE

The settings are only accepted when leaving

the screen.

The following message appears if the con-

guration of the tram line valves does not

correspond to the selected tram line rhythm:

Impermissible

conguration.

Conguration can

only be used in

manual tram line

mode.

¾Check the conguration 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.

Conguration TRACK

Activating AutoLine

NOTE

The terms AutoLine and TRAMLINE Management are

to be used synonymously.

¾Activate 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

gures on this:

General

TRACK Leader AUTO

TRACK Leader TOP

TRAMLINE Management

Detection of direction of travel

Selective marking

Starting AutoLine

¾Start the navigation in the TRACK Leader.

¾Create lead tracks (AB tracks) if none are yet

available.

¾Select 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 conguration section.

NOTE

Faulty tram line with wrong direction of travel!

When entering the eld 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.

¾Always pay attention to the stipulated direc-

tion of travel of the tram line rhythm!

A Active lead track (AB track)

B Lead track in which a tram line is created.

C Middle of tram line as lead track for the crop

protection machine

Changing the AutoLine working

mode

Two working modes are available when TRAM-

LINE Management is activated:

• Automatic mode (AutoLine)

The system creates the tram lines automat-

ically.

• Manual mode

Creating 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 pass

When creating tram lines in automatic mode,

they are transferred to the machine by AutoLine.

¾Adjust 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 Meaning

Increasing the current number of the pass.

Reducing the current number of the pass.

NOTE

¾Move 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 eld 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.

¾Always pay attention to the stipulated direc-

tion of travel of the tram line rhythm!

Inverting AB track for tram lines

¾Check 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.

¾Check whether the orientation of the AB tracks

matches the desired starting eld 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:

The direction of travel does not correspond to

the created AB track. The tram lines are created

in wrong passes:

¾Invert 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 lines

really be inverted?

Yes

PopUp - must be conrmed for inverting

NOTE

¾Invert the AB tracks only before starting the

automatic tram line system!

¾Inversion 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

tted at the appropriate position and in the

correct number on the machine.

• If AutoLine is switched o, for example when

driving around obstacles, tram lines are no

longer recorded.

The tram lines remain activated but are no

longer recorded.
