IDENTIFYING MANAGEMENT ZONES IN AGRICULTURAL FIELDS AND GENERATING PLANTING PLANS FOR THE ZONES

In an embodiment, yield data representing yields of crops that have been harvested from an agricultural field and field characteristics data representing characteristics of the agricultural field is received and used to determine a plurality of management zone delineation options. Each option, of the plurality of management zone delineation options, comprises zone layout data for an option. The plurality of management zone delineation options is determined by: determining a plurality of count values for a management class count; generating, for each count value, a management delineation option by clustering the yield data from and the field characteristics data, assigning zones to clusters, and including the zones in a management zone delineation option. One or more options from the plurality of management zone delineation options are selected and used to determine one or more planting plans. A graphical representation of the options and the planting plans is displayed for a user.

20210349434 · 2021-11-11 · ·

The present invention provides a technology for invoking a non-periodic-execution function module from a periodic-execution control program. A control system that comprises first and second control parts (C1, C2) and a storage device that stores control programs (210, 211) for a controller. The control programs (210, 211) include a periodic-execution function module (55B) that invokes a non-periodic-execution function module (55A). The first control part (C1) reflects the value of an input variable for the periodic-execution function module (55B) in an argument for the non-periodic-execution function module (55A) and outputs an execution start command for the function modules to the second control part (C2). The second control part (C2) outputs a return value for the non-periodic-execution function module (55A) to the first control part (C1). The first control part (C1) reflects the return value in an output variable for the periodic-execution function module (55B).

Mobile can-bus control system
11460820 · 2022-10-04 · ·

A mobile CAN-Bus control system is provided, in which a CAN-Bus based machinery converts CAN control signals to a data stream based on a communication schema. At least a portion of the converted data stream includes an index lookup identifier, which, together with a locally stored index loop table, permits the receiving device to extract the control signal. The data stream, which is compatible with communication protocols such as Bluetooth™ and/or Wi-Fi, is transmitted to a mobile controller, which in turn parses the data stream and translates it into useable data points based on a locally stored index lookup table. The mobile controller may upload the received data stream to a server for data storage and retrieval, and is capable of remotely accessing the CAN-Bus based system to modify system parameter values and bumping them to the CAN-Bus system to achieved desired operational state of the machinery.

Using latent diagnostic capabilities for additional CAN bus monitoring

Systems and methods are provided for enhancing diagnosis of control logic by automatically triggering latent or quiescent diagnostic logic in response to a CAN bus signal and without requiring a software update of the control logic. The diagnostic logic may be triggered to provide an increase in the frequency of CAN messages that are generated. The diagnostic logic may be further triggered to provide a generation of additional CAN messages reporting operation signals beyond those that are normally generated. The diagnostic logic may be further triggered to provide higher priority to selected CAN messages reporting operation signals. The diagnostic logic may be still further triggered to one or more of increase the frequency of selected CAN report messages, generate additional CAN messages reporting operation signals beyond those that are normally generated, and/or provide higher priority to selected CAN messages reporting operation signals, each without requiring a software update.
