2.5 | System Components
A Level COMMAND system consists of multiple hardware and software components depending on machine configuration and enabled automatic control functions.
Required Components
The following components are required for normal Level COMMAND operation.
COMMAND ECU
The COMMAND ECU provides hydraulic control, machine interfacing, sensor monitoring, and automatic control management.
The ECU communicates with Level COMMAND and connected machine systems during operation.
GNSS Receiver System
A compatible RTK-capable GNSS receiver system is required for machine positioning and automatic control.
Supported receiver compatibility may vary depending on installed COMMAND hardware and machine configuration.
Operator Display Device
Level COMMAND operates on a compatible display device used for:
- project management,
- terrain visualisation,
- diagnostics,
- and operator interaction.
The display device communicates with the COMMAND ECU during operation.
Level COMMAND is primarily deployed on ruggedised RuggON tablet platforms including the PX501 and SOL7 due to their environmental durability, sunlight readability, and suitability for machine-control applications.
Hydraulic Control Hardware
Compatible hydraulic control valve hardware is required for automatic implement movement.
Depending on machine configuration, hydraulic interfaces may include:
- SCVs / auxiliary control valves,
- proportional solenoid valves,
- and ratiometric load sensing proportional valves.
Optional Components
Additional components may be installed depending on machine configuration and enabled functionality.
Cross-Slope Sensors
Cross-Slope-capable configurations require compatible implement roll-angle feedback sensors.
Supported Cross-Slope feedback sources currently include:
- T3RRA TARS IMU systems,
- and compatible StarFire internal roll-angle sensors.
Additional Operator Controls
Optional operator control devices may include:
- external Arm/Engage switches,
- joystick controls,
- and auxiliary operator input devices.
Vehicle Data Interfaces
Supported machine configurations may include additional vehicle communication interfaces such as:
- CANBUS interfaces,
- J1939 vehicle communication,
- and supported OEM machine data interfaces.
