ND | I think there is confusion with the IMD-600 T3 Compensator that is installed on the tile plow. It will adjust for roll pitch and yaw. If you get the control unlock (1000) it will control the pitch and height of the boot. The height is more useful with a parallel link plow because on a cantilever plow the pitch of the knife will change the height of the boot. You can however use that unlock and have the Height cylinders on valve 1 and pitch cylinders on valve 3 of the tractor. when you start the run the plow will go down to the proper height and pitch it at the correct angle (configured in set up). once the plow is in the dirt, and there is weight pushing down on the knife, put valve 1 into float so the only thing correcting the height of the plow is the pitch of the plow. This is very useful for starting a line.
The following options are available:
• Select Height Control if no IMD-600 slope sensor is installed or if an IMD-
600 slope sensor is being used for roll corrections only.
• Select Pitch Control to allow the IMD-600 slope sensor to ADJUST for roll
and pitch corrections.
• Select Height and Pitch to allow the IMD-600 sensor to CONTROL pitch and
height.
Calibration- Determining the pitch offset
Without a correct pitch offset, the system will most likely attempt to maintain the design
slope and drive the plow above or below the optimal depth.
All cantilever plows must assume an angle that is slightly tipped up in order to maintain
depth against the immense down-pressure being applied by the soil that is being displaced. If
the boot travelled through the soil with an even attitude the plow would progressively plow
deeper as it was pulled through the soil.FmX Integrated Display User Guide 9-67

Once the pitch offset value has been determined, the value should only change as the tip
begins to show considerable wear.
Note – It may take some time to determine the proper pitch offset of a plow accurately.
Note – Before completing this process, ensure that the system drives to a consistent depth. This
depth may not be the optimal depth, but it will ensure that the hydraulic system is operating well.
Once you are certain that optimal performance has been achieved, you may begin the process of
determining the proper pitch offset with consistent results.

WM-Drain Farm Drainage Solution: Roll Correction and Pitch Control
Now Available
The Trimble® WM-Drain™ farm drainage solution is now capable of roll correction and controlling the boot pitch
on a drainage plow using a slope sensor.
Note: For any of these features to operate, the WM-Drain passcode (P/N 93530-01) must first be activated on the
FmX® integrated display.
Note: The FmX display must have version 6.5 or later of the firmware installed for the IMD-600 unit to work with
the WM-Drain solution.
The following key features are now included in the solution:
1. You can now eliminate inaccuracies created by vehicle roll using T3™ terrain compensation technology:
2. You can now take complete control of a double link or parallel link plow by controlling the up and down
hydraulics with GPS, and controlling the pitch with the IMD-600 slope sensor: | |
