MID-TECHimagine having one systemImagine having a single control system with thecapability of managing all of your application tasksfrom the simplest to the most demanding. From variablerate seeding with fertilizing to multiple productapplication of dry and/or liquid products at the sametime, the Mid-Tech Legacy 6000 system does it all.■ fixed-rate or variable-rateapplication—liquid, dry oranhydrous products■ complete field mapping with hazardmarking■ manual lightbar guidance withon-screen map display■ interface with automatic steeringsystems■ optional office software usesapplication data to create detailedjob reportsThe tasks can be done individually or all togetherwith a single console using Mid-Tech’s new Legacy6000 system. It’s built of modular components combinedto make a custom fit in each installation. Thisflexibility opens a wider range of options than everbefore. It also means this system is uniquely capableof supporting future growth quickly, easily andwithout duplicating your investment.There are four modules in all. The console in thecab is one of these modules and the one with whichpeople are most familiar. The other modules manageproduct control, the switches in the system like thosethat regulate boom sections on a sprayer or seed binsin an air seeder, and other network functions. Allmodules are linked together with a single, heavydutycommunications and power cable, or bus.When we say flexible, we mean it. An applicationrequiring multiple product control would simplyuse a Product Control Module for each channel. TheSwitch Sense Module likewise monitors up to 20 boomsections. If there were 30 boom sections to manage, anadditional Switch Sense Module connected to thenetwork would instantly expand the system.Adding a module is easy. It’s about the size of apaperback book and can be mounted anywhere onthe chassis. It plugs into the network and is instantlyrecognized. Software wizards guide you through theset-up process. Servicing the system in the field is justas simple, with built-in diagnostic tools to make thejob easy.What makes this system so flexible and robust? It is aCAN bus system, a Controller Area Network, connectedby a high-speed cable or bus, which allows a vastamount of information to be shared across the system.This self-managing system constantly monitors its ownoperational status, and reports any inconsistencies tothe operator before they become a problem. It’s anentirely new way of looking at product control andhow to manage it.
