Abstract
A method for controlling, through a mobile device, wrapping operations in a wrapper for wrapping a round bale with a film, comprises the following steps, performed by a processor of the mobile device: coupling the mobile device to a control unit of the wrapper, by sending a coupling signal to the control unit; receiving control inputs from a user, through an interaction of the user with the mobile device; elaborating the control inputs and generating, based on the control inputs, a command message; sending the command message to the control unit of the wrapper; receiving, at the processor of the mobile device, operation data from the control unit of the wrapper, the operation data being representative of operations performed by the wrapper.

A method for controlling, through a mobile device, wrapping operations in a wrapper for wrapping a round bale with a film, the method comprising the following steps, performed by a processor of the mobile device:
- coupling the mobile device to a control unit of the wrapper, by sending a coupling signal to the control unit;
- receiving control inputs from a user, through an interaction of the user with the mobile device;
- elaborating the control inputs and generating, based on the control inputs, a command message;
- sending the command message to the control unit of the wrapper;
- and
- receiving, at the processor of the mobile device, operation data from the control unit of the wrapper, the operation data being representative of operations performed by the wrapper.
A mobile device for controlling wrapping operations comprising:
- a processor, configured to perform the following steps:
- coupling the mobile device to a control unit of the wrapper, by sending a coupling signal to the control unit;
- receiving control inputs from a user, through an interaction of the user with the mobile device;
- elaborating the control inputs and generating, based on the control inputs, a command message;
- sending the command message to the control unit of the wrapper;
- and
- receiving, at the processor of the mobile device, operation data from the control unit of the wrapper, the operation data being representative of operations performed by the wrapper;
- and
- a user interface, including one or more input button, for sending control input to the processor, and a display, configured to receive graphic data from the processor, to show information about the wrapping operations.
A wrapping system comprising:
- a film coil, including a film to be applied around the bale;
- a pair of rollers, movable between a working position, wherein they rotate to support and put in rotation the bale under wrapping, and a rest position, wherein the wrapped bale is released on the ground;
- a wrapper satellite, connected to the film coil and movable around the bale to apply the film on the bale;
- a cutting unit, configured to cut the film;
- a control unit, configured to control operations of the wrapper,
- a mobile device for controlling wrapping operations, wherein the mobile device comprises:
- a processor, configured to perform the following steps:
- coupling the mobile device to a control unit of the wrapper, by sending a coupling signal to the control unit;
- receiving control inputs from a user, through an interaction of the user with the mobile device;
- elaborating the control inputs and generating, based on the control inputs, a command message;
- sending the command message to the control unit of the wrapper;
- receiving, at the processor of the mobile device, operation data from the control unit of the wrapper, the operation data being representative of operations performed by the wrapper;
- and
- a user interface, including one or more input button, for sending control input to the processor, and a display, configured to receive graphic data from the processor, to show information about the wrapping operations.
