Abstract
Methods and systems for controlling power supply of agricultural implement(s) attached to an agricultural vehicle. Embodiments herein disclose a control system for controlling power supply of the agricultural implement. The control system includes a control unit that is configured to power up at least one component of the control system on receiving at least one signal by at least one speed sensor based on a rotation of the agricultural implement. The generated at least one signal corresponds to an operative mode of the agricultural implement.
Claims14
A control system for an agricultural implement, the control system comprising:
- a Battery Management System (BMS) unit including at least one battery;
- a sensor unit including at least one speed sensor, configured to:
- generate at least one signal corresponding to speed of the agricultural implement (200);
- and
- a control unit coupled to the sensor unit and the BMS unit,
- wherein the control unit of the control system is only powered up during an idle mode of the agricultural implement, wherein during the idle mode, the agricultural implement is not operated;
- said control unit configured to:
- power up the at least one speed sensor during the idle mode of the agricultural implement for a turn ON period by providing the power supply to the at least one speed sensor using the at least one battery;
- check for the at least one signal from the at least one speed sensor during the turn ON period;
- and
- providing power to the at least one component of the control system on receiving the at least one signal from the at least one speed sensor during the turn ON period.
