[Introduction] AG960 AutoSteer System



AG960 AutoSteer System (“AG960”) is designed for precision agriculture and machinery. It takes advantage of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) differential technology, acquiring the position information of the agricultural machines within centimeter level, controlling the guide wheel of agricultural machines through electromagnetic hydraulic valve. As a result, agricultural machines can achieve automatic operation along the planned route. AG960 can be installed to small, medium and large farming vehicles with hydraulic power steering system, such as tractor, harvester, sprayer etc. It will enhance the operators’ work, improve the operation accuracy and efficiency and reduce the working intensity of operators.

Autopilots Work with GNSS (GPS/GLONASS/BDS) and Differential Reference Station

During the operation, GNSS reference station broadcasts the satellite reference observation data via the data transceiver, and the autopilot precisely calculates the position and speed of itself with GNSS satellite signal and reference station signal received. Following the specified operation route, autopilot drives the electro-magnetic hydraulic valve to realize the guidance of wheel movement and operation route auto-tracking of the agricultural vehicles. For a single GNSS reference station, it can serve as many autopilots as required at the same time. However, the work area it may serve depends on the radio transmitting power of the reference station. In case of portable reference station, the work area usually is within 3km, while in case of stationary reference station, the work area can be up to around 20km (The work area will be reduced accordingly when there is windbreak and unfavorable topography between the reference station and agriculture machines in work).

Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement

  Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement Tips for earthwork measurement under different circumstances with Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA APP Earthwork calculations are essential in many survey projects, but the complexity of measurement and calculations causes many new engineers headaches. In general, earthwork calculation is divided into two parts: excavation and filling, which can also be simply understood as volume and capacity calculation. The following are the Tips for using the Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA App for earthwork measurement under different circumstances. The powerful earthwork calculation function of the NUWA app can calculate the result and quickly; you only need to import the survey points and then input the reference altitude. Notes for measurement: When measuring points, we should measure as many points on the surface of the object as possible. The density of survey points needs to be strengthened in places where the terrain changes sig...

Introduction of Nuwa APP's location share function

Today we are going to introduce the Nuwa APP's location share function. It can share the centimeter-level accuracy coordinates obtained from Tersus receiver to other android apps. The following introduction takes a map app as an example. 1. Turn off GPS location on an android device and turn on airplane mode, open a map app and it cannot display any positioning results at this time. 2. Launch Nuwa app, connect a Tersus GNSS receiver, configure the receiver to receive satellite signals and correction data, and ensure the solution status is fixed and high-precision coordinates are displayed. 3. Under the submenu Project -> Settings, turn on [Location Sharing]. 4. After turning on this function, it will automatically jump to the android system setting interface. Find ‘Select mock location app’, click and select Nuwa. 5. Open the map app, it displays the positioning result at this time. Actually this positioning result is the high-precision positioning result of the Tersus receiver ...
