FAQ

ISOBUS
What does ISOBUS mean for APV machines?

ISOBUS enables the operation of compatible APV machines via the tractor's ISOBUS terminal. This eliminates the need for an additional control terminal in the tractor cab, and machine functions are controlled centrally.

What advantages does ISOBUS offer for APV machines?

ISOBUS simplifies operation and, depending on the machine and equipment, enables additional automation functions such as Section Control, Variable Rate Control, or the use of application maps.

Can I operate an APV ISOBUS machine via my tractor's terminal?

Yes, provided the tractor, terminal, and APV machine are equipped with ISOBUS compatibility. The available functions depend on the respective machine and its equipment.

What is Section Control on an APV ISOBUS machine?

Section Control enables automatic control of partial widths based on the machine's position. This can reduce overlaps at headlands, field boundaries, or wedges, for example.

What does Variable Rate Control mean at APV?

Variable Rate Control enables automatic adjustment of the spread rate based on stored target values or application maps. This allows operating materials to be applied specifically to sub-areas.

Do I need an additional control terminal for an APV ISOBUS machine?

If the tractor already has a suitable ISOBUS terminal, no additional APV control terminal is generally required. For tractors without a corresponding terminal, APV offers its own solution with Profi Control.

PROFI CONTROL
What is APV Profi Control?

APV Profi Control is a control terminal for ISOBUS-capable APV machines. It enables the use of the corresponding machine functions even if no suitable ISOBUS terminal is available on the tractor.

When do I need Profi Control?
