Introduction

AL70325,000015C -19-21NOV14-1/1

Theory of OperationAutoTrac™ Controller-Raven is a hydraulic steeringsystem designed to provide automated guidance whileusing a GreenStar™ display and StarFire™ Receiver.Controller sends adjustments to steering valve based oninputs from GreenStar™ Display, StarFire™ Receiver, andwheel angle sensor to keep machine on predetermined

guidance lines. System uses hardware and software fromJohn Deere and Raven Industries. System is capableof using factory installed electro-hydraulic valves, wheelangle sensors, and steering input devices. Once thecontroller is installed, GreenStar™ Display is used tocalibrate system and set up guidance.

Calibrate Terrain Compensation Module(TCM)Select TCM toggle button (A) to turn TCM on and off. WhenTCM is turned off, StarFire™ global positioning system(GPS) message is not corrected for machine dynamics orside slopes. TCM defaults to on when cycling power.

NOTE: TCM must be turned on for AutoTrac™ to activate.

Calibrate TCM so receiver can determine zero degreeroll angle and pitch angle.

Before calibrating, ensure machine and implement arein proper working condition and ready for field work.Machine must be ballasted and tires properly inflated.Lower implement as close as possible to working positionwhen calibrating.

Calibrate TCM every time receiver is removed frommachine and reattached or if TCM angle in relation tomachine has changed. Changes in TCM angle in relationto machine can create an offset and look like a consistentskip (B) or overlap (C) in pass-to-pass operation. Possiblecauses of this offset could be StarFire™ mounting bracketis slightly offset, machine cab is slightly offset, or uneventire pressures from one side to other.

To eliminate offset, position machine and calibrateTCM, drive down a pass, turn around, and drive downsame pass in opposite direction. If machine does not

Tuning Advanced AutoTrac™ Settings

AL70325,00001AE -19-21NOV14-1/1

AutoTrac™ AccuracyIMPORTANT: John Deere AutoTrac™ system relies

on global positioning system (GPS) systemoperated by the government of the UnitedStates, which is solely responsible for itsaccuracy and maintenance. System is subjectto changes that could affect accuracy andperformance of all GPS equipment.

Overall AutoTrac™ system accuracy is dependent onmany variables.

AutoTrac™ System Accuracy = Signal accuracy +Machine Setup + Implement Setup + Field/Soil Conditions.

It is very important to remember:

• Receiver has to go through a warm-up period afterstarting.• Machine is set up properly (ballasted according tomachine Operator’s Manual, etc.)

• Mechanical steering system is in good health (tightsteering with minimal play in steering axle).• Implement is set up to run properly (wear parts suchas shanks, shovels, and sweeps are in good workingcondition and correctly spaced).• Understand how field/soil conditions affect system(loose soil requires more steering than firm soil, but firmsoil can cause uneven draft loads).

IMPORTANT: Although AutoTrac™ system can beactivated when SF2 (or SF1 if using AutoTrac™SF1 activation) correction signal is confirmed,system accuracy may continue to increaseafter powering up system.

AutoTrac™ SF2 activation operates on SF1, SF2, or RTKsignal.

AutoTrac™ SF1 activation operates on SF1 signal only.

Optimizing AutoTrac™ ControllerPerformanceNOTE: AutoTrac™ Controller has been tuned to perform

in most field conditions using various implements.For conditions outside of normal, AdvancedSettings allows operator to fine-tune system forspecific field conditions and implements.

Read this information in its entirety before tuningAutoTrac™ Advanced Settings.

1. Check and fix problems before tuning. Performnecessary mechanical checks and calibrations onmachine. Tuning without fixing problems can maskactual machine faults and cause issues later.

2. Access Advanced AutoTrac™ Settings page.(See Advanced AutoTrac™ Settings for GreenStar™Display.)

3. Start with factory default settings. SteeringSensitivity value correlates to value on GuidanceView tab. Use a value for current conditions (70 forconcrete, 100 for most conditions, 120 for soft ground).Adjust number to fine-tune system as needed.

4. General Tuning Instructions

• Attempt to adjust settings in problem field conditionswhile AutoTrac™ is active. Adjust one value at atime. Reset to factory defaults if settings do notcorrect performance.• If adjusting one value does not give satisfactoryperformance, try different combinations ofparameters.

Adjustment Recommendations:• Steering Sensitivity—Set at 100 before makingother adjustments, then adjust in increments of 10.• Line Sensitivity Tracking—Adjust in incrementsof 20.• Line Sensitivity Heading—Adjust in increments of10.• Heading Lead—Adjust in increments of 10.• Steering Response Rate—Adjust in increments of10.• Acquire Sensitivity—Adjust in increments of 20.• Curve Sensitivity—Adjust in increments of 20.

NOTE: If desired performance is not achieved, seeTroubleshooting AutoTrac™ Controller–Ravenfor more detail.

Troubleshoot Step Response Test Results

NOTE: If troubleshooting does not resolve health testissues, contact your John Deere dealer.

Delay Time

Delay time is the time it takes for wheel angle to decreaseby 0.5 degrees for tractors or 5.0 degrees for windrowersfrom initial setting. If delay time fails the health test:

• Verify wheel angle sensor is functioning properly.- Inspect if wheel angle sensor components are rubbingor binding on machine.

- Turn steering wheel slowly and monitor actual wheelangle reading on health test screen.

NOTE: Value should smoothly increase when turningin one direction and smoothly decrease whenturning in opposite direction.

Value should change with slightest steeringwheel movements.

- Inspect wiring harness for loose or bare wires betweencontroller and wheel angle sensor.

NOTE: Select Tool Box > Valve Drive Configurationto change valve settings.

Rise Time

Rise time is the time it takes for wheel angle to be within0.5 degrees of straight ahead for first time. If rise timefails the health test:

• Inspect if wheel angle sensor components are rubbingor binding on machine.• Increase minimum valve setting by 3 and repeat healthtest.- Minimum valve setting determines how aggressivelyvalve responds when controller attempts to make asmall wheel angle change. Increasing minimum valvesetting causes a more aggressive response as wheelangle approaches 0 degrees.

Settling Time

Settling time is the time it takes for wheel angle to achievestability of less than 0.33 degrees from straight ahead. Ifsettling time fails the health test:
