Abstract
A particulate material agitation and leveling control system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a sensor signal indicative of a measured load on a drive system coupled to an agitation and leveling system, select an operating mode of the agitation and leveling system from an agitation mode and a leveling mode based on the measured load, and instruct the drive system to operate the agitation and leveling system based on the operating mode.
Claims20
An agricultural particulate material agitation and leveling control system, comprising:
- a controller comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive a sensor signal indicative of a measured load on a drive system coupled to an agitation and leveling system;
- select an operating mode of the agitation and leveling system from an agitation mode and a leveling mode based on the measured load;
- and
- instruct the drive system to operate the agitation and leveling system based on the operating mode.
An agricultural particulate material agitation and leveling control system, comprising:
- an agitation and leveling system configured to be disposed over a metering system;
- a drive system coupled to and configured to drive the agitation and leveling system in rotation;
- a sensor configured to output a sensor signal indicative of a measured load on the drive system;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and to the drive system, wherein the controller comprises a memory and a processor, and the processor controller is configured to:
- receive the sensor signal from the sensor indicative of the measured load on the drive system;
- select an operating mode of the agitation and leveling system from an agitation mode and a leveling mode based on the measured load;
- and
- instruct the drive system to operate the agitation and leveling system based on the operating mode.
At least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive a sensor signal indicative of a measured load on a drive system coupled to and agricultural agitation and leveling system;
- select an operating mode of the agitation and leveling system from an agitation mode and a leveling mode based on the measured load;
- and
- instruct the drive system to operate the agitation and leveling system based on the operating mode.
