Introduction
Agrocont is a control system for seeders and seeder fertilizers comprising a monitor
and a work-machine unit connected by a CAN bus.
All functions of the machine are controlled using the monitor keys and the tractor
hydraulics.
The system’s user interface is based on menus. The monitor has 14 keys, and the
function that each key performs depends on which menu is active and visible on the
screen.
Each key has a symbol illustrating the given function. Additional symbols underneath
the keys indicate that additional functions, such as a sub-menu, can be accessed using
the key.
