A key component on the attachment is the implement ECU (Electronic Control Unit). It acts as the “brain” of the device and controls all relevant functions. At the same time, it acts as an interface between the sensors and actuators of the attachment and the Tractor ECU (TECU) as well as the Universal Terminal (UT) in the cab. This ensures that the driver can operate and monitor the attachment directly via the ISOBUS terminal.

Our CAN I/O – CC16WP is a powerful implement ECU that has been specially developed for use in seed drills. As AEF-certified hardware, it guarantees full ISOBUS compatibility and high reliability in field use. With multifunctional inputs and eight PWM-capable outputs for controlling current-controlled hydraulic valves, it also offers the flexibility required for modern agricultural applications.

Practical example: Seed drill: Precise control with the CC16WP

The CC16WP performs central control and monitoring tasks in a seed drill:

• Metering drive: Control of the speed for precise seed output – adjusted to the speed and desired seed pattern.
• Blower power: Control of the air volume to transport the seed evenly through the hoses to the seed coulters. Depending on the model, DC motors or hydraulic solutions are used.
• Sensor integration: Connection of speed sensors to record the actual driving speed and calibration function for calibration tests before use.

With this wide range of functions, the CC16WP ensures that seed drills work more precisely, respond flexibly to different operating conditions, and at the same time significantly simplify operation via the ISOBUS terminal.
