There is an Ag Leader cable for situations like this, PN 4001013 Power Splitter. That will give you enough connections without changing any wiring. Can find on eBay or the internet.


The Ag Leader Power Splitter splits a single high current power and ground into two branches. For all your modules you would need several to get all the branches that you need. I was in that situation also. Since I had access to the Deutsch connectors, pins, wedges etc. I made my own Splitter harness to accomplish the same thing.

Using a terminal strip to split them up should work well also. You may need 12VDC and ground for the section valve(s) for your liquid products as well as the modules.

As we discussed yesterday on your phone call, you will not be using all modules at the same time so the unused ones could be unplugged. However, that is unnecessary since having unused modules connected and available will not cause any problems. The configuration dictates which type and how many modules are needed for an operation. The system will complain if it cannot find what it needs. It will not complain if it finds "extras".

Having only the modules needed for an operation connected to High Current Power and CAN would save on the number of branches and CAN tees. Having them all connected to High Current Power and CAN at all times would mean that no "rearranging" would be necessary.

We also discussed your implement switch arrangement. Since you have several modules, each will need an implement switch or a jumper. This could be done with 5 separate implement switches but one will do. Basically the implement switch needs a 12VDC source. Its output would need to split into a branch for each of the modules.

When the implement is raised, no modules will receive 12VDC on their implement switch Pin (always #10). Application will be prevented on all 5 modules. When the implement is lowered, all modules will receive 12VDC on Pin 10 which means that application would be allowed depending on other factors.
