6.4 | Tractor CAN Connection (Optional)
Overview
COMMAND can be connected to a 250 or 500kbps Tractor CANBUS if present, allowing the ECU to read tractor data directly from tractor systems including parameters such as engine load, hydraulic oil temperature, wheel speed and instantaneous fuel usage. This data can then be displayed in the widgets in Level COMMAND in real-time, and is also used in the background for certain control features.
Connecting to an incorrect CANBUS, or having COMMAND's Tractor CAN port set to the incorrect baud rate may cause tractor system errors.
Required Parts
A port replicator is included on the T3H-M001 adapter so that other devices may be connected to the diagnostic connector when necessary without removal of COMMAND harnessing.
If the tractor has a Type I diagnostic connection, T3H-X004 should be added to maintain the Type I connection for the tractor.
