System and method for initiating control of components of a work vehicle based on input received from a user interface of an associated agricultural implement

Abstract

In one aspect a system for controlling the operation of an agricultural implement may include a vehicle-based controller configured to control an operation of a valve provided in operative association with a work vehicle, with the valve being configured to control a fluid flow to a plurality of fluid conduits. The system may also include an agricultural implement configured to be towed by the work vehicle. The implement may include a user interface having a first input device configured to receive an input associated with a selected fluid conduit of the plurality of fluid conduits. Furthermore, implement may include an implement-based controller supported on the implement and communicatively coupled to the user interface. The implement-based controller may be configured to initiate control of the operation of the valve based on the input received from the user interface in a manner that provides the fluid flow to the selected fluid conduit.
