Overview
The Tractor-ECU application is used to compile all of the information of the vehicle on which the display is mounted. Tractor-ECU can transfer this information to other apps (e.g. the position of the GPS receiver to TRACK- Leader) or to a connected ISOBUS ECU (GPS signal as a speed source). The Tractor-ECU application allows you to:
· Create a profile for each vehicle, with specific settings. · Input the sensors which are mounted on the vehicle. · Enter the position of the GPS receiver. · Define the GPS signal to determine the speed on the CAN bus.

PTO shaft speed Number of operation hours Status of the work position sensor

Managing the tractor profiles
Tractor profiles are used to store important features of the tractor on which the display is installed. This offers the following advantages:
· You can use the display on several tractors. Each time you change tractors, you can activate the fitting tractor profile.
· Even if the display is always installed on one tractor, you can create several profiles for one tractor. You can use between 1 and 31 tractor profiles.

TRACK-Guide III Installation and operating instructions|59

10 | Tractor-ECU application
The number of tractor profiles depends on several factors: · Purpose of the display: ­ If you switch the mounted implement manually, or are using an implement for which cm-accuracy is not required, one tractor profile per tractor is enough. ­ If you are not using TRACK-Leader, you probably do not need tractor profiles. · Number of tractors with different equipment and different geometries.
For self-propelled machines (e.g. field sprayers), you must use a tractor profile with the following settings: · “Connection with ISOBUS-TC?” parameter – Ensure that this parameter is properly set. · “Speed” parameter ­ GPS receiver – If a GPS receiver is connected to the display and is used to determine the speed. ­ Wheel sensor, radar sensor via CAN bus – If a speed sensor is connected to the junction box of the ISOBUS ECU, this setting allows you to use the speed display of the Tractor-ECU. · Geometry: For self- propelled machines, the geometry is generally entered in the field sprayer ECU. For this reason, you do not need to enter any distances in the Tractor- ECU.
