Reasonably priced in-cab terminal in conjunction with the mechanical metering drive. The AmaLog⁺ in-cab terminal offers an electronic control and regulating system with electric tramline control, electronic fill level sensor, hectare meter and monitoring of the seed shaft.

One language, many benefits!

Each ISOBUS-enabled machine from AMAZONE comes with the latest technology and almost unlimited possibilities. It makes no difference whether you use an operator terminal from AMAZONE or an ISOBUS terminal fitted directly in the tractor. ISOBUS is an internationally recognised standard for communication between the operator terminal, tractors and connected implements on the one hand and Farm Management Information Systems on the other.

Operation with a wide variety of ISOBUS terminals

Which means that ISOBUS enables you to take control of all your ISOBUS compatible equipment. You only have to connect the machine to the respective ISOBUS terminal and the usual operator interface appears on the monitor in your tractor cab.

Benefits of ISOBUS at a glance: 

• This worldwide standard provides a uniform interface and data exchange format that ensures compatibility even with third party manufacturers 
• Plug and Play between machine, tractor and additional ISOBUS implements

Our competence in electronics: To increase the operational comfort, AMAZONE implements and operator terminals feature a level of functionality far beyond ISOBUS standards.

The benefits of more than just ISOBUS:

• Highest compatibility and function flexibility of your ISOBUS equipment
• No additional modules on the machine side. All ISOBUS machinery from AMAZONE is already equipped with the necessary ISOBUS functionality as standard

• Unique operation concept. Freely-configurable displays and individual user interfaces for each driver
• Freely-configurable machine operation, e.g. folding of the boom of your AMAZONE crop protection sprayer
• Integrated TaskController data logger function

Advantages of the AMAZONE machine software:

• User-oriented and intuitive
• Tailored to the machine
• Functional range above and beyond the ISOBUS standard

Simple and convenient operation as intuitive as your tablet

Why not handle a terminal as intuitively as a tablet or a smartphone? With this in mind, AMAZONE has developed the operator-friendly AmaTron 4 which offers a noticeably smoother operational procedure, especially when it comes to job management. The AmaTron 4, with its 8"multi-touch colour display meets the highest expectations and offers maximum user-friendliness. A swipe of the finger or use of the App carousel allows quick changes between applications and the simple and clearly structured operating menu. A useful MiniView, a freely configurable status bar as well as a virtual light bar make the use of the AmaTron 4 particularly clear and convenient.

Benefits of AmaTron 4: 

• Automatic full screen mode when not in use 
• Automatic control button display via a proximity sensor 
• Practical MiniView concept 
• Actuation via multi-touch colour display or soft keys

With GPS-Switch, AMAZONE offers GPS-based, fully automatic, part-width section control for all AMAZONE operator terminals and ISOBUS-compatible fertiliser spreaders, crop protection sprayers or seed drills.

GPS-Switch basic 

• Automatic part-width section control with up to 16 part-width sections 
• Creation of a virtual headland 
• Automated boom lowering with an AMAZONE crop protection sprayer 
• Optional with AmaTron 4

GPS-Switch pro (as an extension of GPS-Switch basic) 

• Automatic part-width section control with up to 128 part-width sections, particularly for crop protection sprayers with individual nozzle control

Automatic switching on and off of the Primera DMC
 

If the operating terminal has Section Control, e.g. GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the part-width sections can be automatically switched on and off in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, the driver can concentrate fully on operating the vehicle in automatic mode, since the part-width sections are automatically switched on and off in wedge shaped fields and on headlands. 

Benefits of automatic control: 

• Stress relief for the driver 
• Increase in precision, especially at night or at higher speeds 
• Less overlaps and gaps 
• Saving inputs 
• Less crop damage and environmental impact

1. Over- or under-sowing with manual on/off control without GPS-Switch

Accurate placement of the seed!
Accurate sowing is very important to avoid excessive or insufficient seeding in critical places, which is very common in practical applications. The remedy for the accurate placement is offered by the half-side control which reduces the relevant working width to half so that, especially in short-work and on the headland, a significant saving is achieved. The two halves of the drill each correspond to one controllable part-width section.

1. With half-side shut-off
2. The seed drill automatically switches off precisely
3. Virtual headland
4. Field application maps for different seed rates are also possible
5. Worked area

• Automatic determination of the conveying time of seed flow from the metering unit to the sowing coulter 
• Minimisation of misses and overlaps for good field hygiene 
• Minimisation of the disease pressure results in fewer plant protection measures and simultaneous cost reduction

Communication in real time
With AmaTron Connect, AMAZONE provides a digital interface to a smartphone or tablet. The mobile device and the ISOBUS terminal AmaTron 4 are simply connected as a hotspot.

AmaTron Twin App – Clear display enhancement
The AmaTron Twin App offers the driver even more comfort in work, as GPS functions in the field view can also be operated via a mobile device (e.g. tablet) in parallel with machine operation in AmaTron 4.

Advantages of the AmaTron Twin display enhancement:

• Use of an existing mobile device
• Greater clarity – all applications in view
• Comfortable control of GPS functions in the field view in parallel via the mobile device
• Clear, authentic representation of the working machine and its part-width sections
