Chapter 1 – Introduction

The Athene spreader controller is an ISOBUS UT-compliant monitoring

and application control system for self-propelled / trailed belt spreaders

spreading lime / granular materials. Forward speed measurement and

cutout sensing enables full proportional control, to maintain (within

limits) a set application irrespective of changes in forward speed.

Shown is a typical retrofitted system (that is independent from the

tractor ISOBUS), utilizing a Topcon X-Console. In this scenario, refer to

Topcon X-Console Implement Setup, page 3 for console setup

instructions.

Some installations will have minor variations, but the key components

are the console, spreader ECU, load cell ECU and load cells. The

system is compatible with an ISOBUS UT compliant tractor terminal. If

using a non-Topcon terminal through ISOBUS, refer to the

manufacturer's manual for setup of the terminal and go to Athene

Setup, page 19 for instructions.

Forward speed sensing may be performed via GPS, or optionally by a

magnetic sensor measuring wheel or propshaft rotation (fitted to the

tractor / self-propelled spreader or trailed spreader). The master on/off

switch is ‘virtual’ (a softkey on the Athene operation screen), or

optionally via an external switch mounted next to the operator.

The system may be fitted with or without load cells.

Machines without load cells: The system relies on volumetric calculation

from the known gate height and width, and a known product density. It

works best with relatively free-flowing material of consistent density.

Machines with load cells: Load cells enable fully-automatic, continuous

calibration. They are advantageous for controlling the rate of material

with more variable density at higher rates. By constantly measuring the

weight of product in the spreader, the floor (belt) speed is continuously

adjusted to achieve the correct target application rate. The system

quickly reacts to changes in product characteristics or spreading

conditions without having to adjust or re-calibrate the machine. This

works best with higher rates where weight changes are significant.

Other spreader functions, such as spinner speed, can also be

monitored or controlled, with warnings being triggered if they are not

operating correctly.

Chapter 2 – Topcon X-Console Implement

Setup

This chapter explains how to setup and configure the Topcon console

for use with the Spreader Controller features.

Note: If you are using a non-Topcon ISOBUS terminal, go to Athene

Setup, page 19 for instructions.

2.1. Switching between setup and operation

screen

The console has two main screens; the Setup screen and the Operation

screen.

Use the highlighted buttons to switch between the screens.

2.2. Enabling ISOBUS

Enables the ISOBUS Universal Terminal server that allows interaction

with the Athene ISOBUS compliant ECU.

To enable ISOBUS / Universal Terminal:

1. Select System /Features /Console .

2. Select FILE SERVER and select Enabled.

3. Select UNIVERSAL TERMINAL and select Enabled.

4. Select System /ISOBUS /UT .

The Universal Terminal setup page is displayed.
