Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | I believe I understand your question. I will reword it so you can tell if I'm following you.
You currently have an Ag Leader system. You may have the SC 110 or the Auxiliary Input Module with a separate switch. I believe what you wish to do is to use some of your extra switches for another purpose.
The switches on the Ag Leader SC 110 are wired directly to the equivalent Auxiliary Input Module that is inside the enclosure. If you are using an Auxiliary Input Module with a separate switch box, the wires between the switch box and the AIM are available. They have a 12 VDC source on one of the pins, ground switch outputs and a confusing line called Switch Detect.
It would be possible to remove the extra wires and use them to trigger your external addon relays. I have done this but I don't really recommend it. If you would have problems in the future, Ag Leader would probably not be very helpful;.
I think it would be much better to simply wire in your extra switches and relays etc. in a separate enclosure of their own and keep it separate from the Ag Leader switches.
Now with all that being said on my first planter I built my own switch box instead of using the Ag Leader switch box. I had switches for the Master and the 4 section inputs that I needed. Those wires went to the Auxiliary Input Module. I also mounted some extra switches for other purposes unrelated to the Ag Leader. The advantage to this approach was that my switches dealing with the Ag Leader and those dealing with other tasks were in the same enclosure but were wired separately for the most part. They shared incoming ground and 12V but the outputs were separate.
If you should pursue something like that there are some tricks you should know about Ag Leader's Switch Detect procedure. I can attempt to explain that if it should be useful for you. If you just use a separate switch box on the side, that knowledge might still be useful but would not enter into your wiring. |
