Agitation and leveling system for particulate material

A particulate material agitation and leveling system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a sensor signal indicative of a measured weight distribution of a particulate material within a storage tank of an agricultural system, determine whether a determined variation between the measured weight distribution and a target weight distribution is greater than a threshold variation, and control an agitator to decrease the determined variation in response to determining that the determined variation is greater than the threshold variation.

System and method for monitoring fluid conduit connections on an agricultural machine

In one aspect, a system for monitoring fluid conduit connections of an agricultural machine may include a first fluid conduit having a first coupling device, a second fluid conduit having a second coupling device, and a third fluid conduit having a third coupling device. Each of the second and third coupling devices may, in turn, include an identification device. A controller of the system may be configured to receive an input from the identification device of one of the second fluid conduit or the third fluid conduit when the respective second coupling device or third coupling device is coupled to the first coupling device. Furthermore, the controller may be configured to identify the one of the second fluid conduit or the third fluid conduit as a connected fluid conduit based on the received input.

System for controlling a direct-current-to-direct-current converter to provide electrical energy to a vehicle implement

Each one of the secondary converters has a corresponding transformer having a primary winding associated with a primary alternating current (AC) signal and a secondary winding associated with a secondary alternating current (AC) signal. A secondary controller provides secondary control signals to the secondary semiconductor switches of the secondary converters with one or more time-synchronized, target phase offsets with respect to an observed phase of the alternating current signal (e.g., primary alternating current signal or the secondary alternating current signal) to provide the target phase offset (or targeted phase offsets) commensurate with or sufficient to support a required electrical energy transfer from the primary controller to the corresponding secondary controller (or secondary controllers).
