General Overview

This guide contains information on navigating the 20|20 Gen 3 monitor, understanding the information that it displays, and setting up basic equipment and systems. For detailed troubleshooting or specific Precision Planting product information, refer to all specific product operator's guides, or contact Precision Planting Product Support.

Hardware

The 20|20 consists of a Display Base Module [DBM] connected to at least one Display by an Ethernet cable. Other Ethernet devices may also be connected to the DBM.

The DBM Power over Ethernet [PoE] ports require a Shielded Twisted Pair [STP] CAT6 Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet device to the DBM. The different Ethernet devices that may be connected to the DBM are the 10” display, the 16” display, the FieldView Module, and the Ethernet Switch.

warning

Do not connect an Ethernet cable from an Internet access point to the Ethernet port on the DBM. Doing so will crash the access point. See Connectivity in the Settings section of this guide for information on connecting the 20|20 to an Internet access point.

Indicator Light Overview

Each Ethernet device utilizes a light to indicate device status. Use the following table to determine the status indicated by the light on the corresponding device.

Blinking Red	Failure - Contact Support	N / A	N / A	Failure - Contact Support

Powering On / Off

The 20|20 requires 12 volts of key switched and constant power. Connect the display to the DBM, and the DBM to the power supply. If connected to a tractor or cab, turn the key to the on or run position. Press the DBM power button to the on position. To power the system off, press the DBM power button to the off position or key the tractor / cab off.

User License Agreement

Once the 20|20 has booted up, read and agree to the User License Agreement to use the 20|20. Agreement is required on first boot up, after a Delete All is performed, or when major software updates are completed.

note

If this system is being set up for a third party, reset the agreement to appear on next startup so the end user agrees to the document. Navigate to Setup > Settings > About, select Agreements and press Reset EULA.

Cab Control Module

All Precision Planting control products require a Cab Control Module [CCM] to be installed below the display. The CCM is connected using an RJ11 port located on the back of the display. If two displays are being utilized, only one display of the user’s choice may have a CCM installed. The CCM will be auto-detected when connected properly.

The switch on the left-hand side is the Master Plant switch. For all control products to function the Master Plant switch must be in the up position. If it is in the down position, all control products will immediately be disabled. The three switches in the middle are swath section switches. Toggle these to the down position to swath off a rate section. If these switches are in the down position, the rows assigned to the switch will be shut off. The rows assigned to each switch may be configured by navigating to Setup > Systems, selecting the default Implement system, changing Cab Control Module Mode to Custom, and selecting a preset or custom number of rows to each switch. See Implement (Default) System Settings in the Systems section for more details.

The left and right swath section switches are also used to Autoload any systems which have the auto load function enabled. Raise both switches up for one second to load systems. Systems with autoload enabled will dispense product. This allows product to immediately be dispensed when beginning to plant / apply. To continue autoloading, lift and hold both switches. Product will continue to dispense as long as the switches are held up.

Safety Warning

If any control product is configured on the 20|20 display, the system will require a CCM and will prompt the user to toggle the Master Plant switch on the CCM before any control products may be used. This warning is triggered any time the system is booted up, and when the system has traveled for more than half a mile. If a CCM is not installed, press cancel to bypass this warning. No control systems will operate until the Master Plant switch is toggled. The Master Icon will be present in the top right of the 20|20 screen in the Status Center if the safety warning was bypassed and a control system is configured.

Home Screen

Overview

The Home Screen displays seeding and application data in an easy to read and navigate format. This information is presented as both metrics and high-definition maps. Additional screen configurations may be added and customized with different metrics, map sizes, controls, and bar charts. Screen configurations may be toggled between by pressing the arrows at the top of the screen.

Screenshots

To take a screenshot, press and hold in the upper right corner of the screen until the screen flashes white. This action may be performed at any time and in any menu of the 20|20. See Data in the Settings section for information on exporting screenshots to a USB drive.

Navigating the 20|20

In the different screens of the 20|20, there will often be a right and left window displayed in the center screen. The left window is typically used to view and select various settings, while the right window is typically used to make changes to the selected setting.

Dashboard Mini-Chart and Metric Screen

The Dashboard Mini-Chart [DMC] may only be placed at the bottom of the screen. The DMC displays a row-by-row bar chart for one of the metrics measured by the 20|20 for each row. Good row bars will be green, Alarm row bars will turn yellow, while Failure row bars will turn red. A scale showing numerical values is displayed in the lower right corner. See Systems for more details on adjusting Alarm and Failure thresholds.

Rows that are swathed off will show yellow under the bars on the bottom line of the DMC.

The name of the active metric shown on the DMC is displayed above the Setup button. To change the metric, press on the active metric name to open the Metric screen.

The Metric screen displays a more detailed row-by-row chart. Press any option on the right to view the row details screen for the selected system metrics. Scroll on the menu to view all available options. For applicable metrics, use buttons at the bottom of the screen to scroll between rows or to select a specific row.

Press DMC Configuration in the upper right to toggle DMC Auto Scroll on or off, or to adjust the scroll frequency that the DMC will use when cycling between metrics. If Auto Scroll is set to single, change the displayed metric by selecting it in the table in the right window.

tip

The Metric screen may also be accessed by pressing the corresponding widget (e.g. Singulation) on the home screen, or pressing the DMC directly.

Hybrids

Hybrids are displayed below the bar chart. The hybrid name in the lower left screen will alternate between hybrids if multiple are active.

Manual Swath Control

A Swath Control Bar may be added to the home screen instead of the DMC. The swath control bar may be used to manually swath on / off any rows for all systems which the 20|20 is controlling.

note

The Swath Control switch on the CCM must be in the Up position to enable manual swath control.

Press and hold on any row in the Swath Control Bar until it turns yellow to swath that row off. Press and drag across multiple rows after the initial row turns yellow to swath off multiple rows.

caution

Swathing off any row manually will engage Manual Swath Mode. In Manual Swath Mode, the 20|20 will no longer swath off to boundaries or coverage. To return to Automatic Swath Mode, press Reset in the lower right corner.

info

The Swath Control Bar is also displayed on the Control screen for any control system, and on the Swath Control screen. See Swath Control Screen for more details.

note

Product will only be dispensed for the specific system through which the Prime System function was accessed.

Controlling a Second Display

Three Large control widgets are available which may be used to control map or layout features of another display that is connected to the same DBM. This feature may be useful when one display is mounted in a hard-to-reach area of the cab.

The number in the top right of each widget indicates the serial number of the display that the widget will control.

• Map Controls - Sets map zoom and orientation. See Controlling the Map for more details.
• Map Layers - Selects which map layer will display. See Controlling the Map for more details.
• Active Layout - Toggles between all saved layout tabs. See Home Screen Layout Tabs for more details.

Controlling the Map

The 20|20 displays high definition maps while operating. Different map layers may be selected and viewed during operation.

The map will default to displaying the tractor / implement in the center of the screen at a preset zoom level. Control buttons are located on the map to adjust settings.

1. Map Splitting:

• To split the map viewing area into two maps, press Split in the top right of the map. When viewing two maps simultaneously, any adjustments done to one map (other than adjusting the legend) are also applied to the other map. (e.g. zooming in on one map will also zoom in on the other map.)
• To exit the split map view, press Full on either map to change the view to only that map.

2. The Red / White Arrow indicates north. Change the map orientation by pressing the compass. There are three orientation modes:

• North Facing – The top of the map is always pointed north. The tractor icon will change directions on the screen. This is the default orientation mode.
• Implement Facing – The implement icon is always pointed towards the top of the screen and the map rotates around the implement.
• Custom — place two fingers on the map and rotate it. This will lock the map into the selected orientation. Press the compass to return to north facing mode

3. Press the Field button show the entire field.

4. Press the Tractor button to keep the tractor / planter centered in the screen. Zoom level will be reset and centered on the tractor.

5. Press the Perspective View button to toggle the map view angle between 0, 65, and 75 degrees.

7. Press Show to toggle the map legend on, or Hide to toggle it off. The map legend will display differently for each map layer. Most legends may be edited.

• Press and hold on the legend and drag up / down to adjust the high or low ends of the legend.
• Tap on the legend to open a popup that allows for adjustment of high / low values and number of steps, or use the auto-adjust button to automatically add a set number of steps. Press Enter to return to the home screen.

General Mapping Principles

• All maps are generated at 5Hz except for SRI (2Hz), meaning there are 5 data points mapped for each second of time.
• Mapping is drawn on a row-by-row basis.
• A dark line will be mapped on either side of the implement to distinguish passes.
• Rows which are inactive or are not collecting information on a row will not map (e.g. a row does not have load cell installed will not map down force).
• Active map layers may be changed at any time by selecting a different layer.
• Some map layers require specific Precision Planting products to be installed on the implement to generate the information necessary to create that layer.
• Some map layers will not be generated until application begins.
• If the map has moved away from the tractor / implement location, a white arrow will appear on the edge of the map pointing in the direction of the tractor / implement.

Swath Control Screen

The Swath Control screen allows the user to manually swath rows on / off, configure a swath control plan, record a boundary, or simulate headlands.

Swath Settings

Use these settings to determine how the 20|20 draws coverage, to change which parameters the 20|20 will use to swath on / off, or to enter an offset to use when recording boundaries.

The 20|20 will not swath off to any option under Swath Control Plan which is set to Disabled.

info

Setting Always Draw Coverage to Enabled will cause the 20|20 to draw coverage whether the implement is actively planting / spraying / etc. or not.

Simulated Headlands

Select a width for Field (Exterior) or Inner to set the simulated headland width for either option.

info

A Boundary file must be assigned to the field to enable simulated headlands.

Recording Boundaries

Active Field

Press the active field on the Fields Landing Screen, or press Active Field under Fields in the Navigation Menu to navigate to the Active Field screen. Use this screen to access all options from the Field Setup screen with the Navigation Menu still visible.

Passmaster

Press Passmaster under Active Field in the Navigation Menu to share field maps between multiple 20|20 monitors that are paired with the same Panorama operation. This is referred to as "Subscribing" to a pass. Data sharing is not limited to Coverage - all data will be shared. Data sharing is field-specific, the user must select what passes to share for each field on each DBM.

A table of all passes is displayed on this screen. Press any pass to begin subscribing to it. Any pass that is subscribed to is indicated by a blue-green outline. Press the three dots on a subscribed pass and press Disconnect to stop subscribing to it.

note

"Pass / Passes" above refers to the entire field coverage map for a specific DBM in the listed field, not a single down-and-back field pass.

This table may be filtered by DBM Name, Client, Farm or State using the filters at the top.

note

DBM Name will default to the serial number of the DBM. This name may be changed by accessing the DBM on Panorama.ag and changing the nickname.

info

"State" filters the table by passes that are currently subscribed to (active) or unsubscribed to (inactive).

Subscription is not limited by field name or Implement type. Any pass may be subscribed to. However, map layers on the home screen will only build for systems that are installed and configured on each implement / 20|20. Coverage will always build.

tip

Passes from a DBM are not available by default to share "with itself" using Passmaster. In any case where this would be desirable, it is possible to export the field map data from the 20|20 onto a USB drive, and then re-import that field map data into the 20|20. The pass will then be available to subscribe to on the Passmaster screen.

important

The speed of data sharing will be limited by Internet connection quality for all sharing 20|20 monitors. With high-quality Internet connections, data sharing can appear to be live. Lower quality connections will have increased delay. Precision Planting recommends 1mb upload / 1mb download speed per DBM.

Field Summary

Use this screen to view various field-related metrics for the active field. General information, such as hours, acre counters and seed count is shown after navigating to Field Summary.

Press any of the options under Field Summary the Navigation Menu to view detailed information regarding hybrids, tank mixes, or systems. Use the tabs at the top to switch between the current pass summary and the entire field summary.

note

"Pass" in this context refers to the current field coverage map and its map layers, not a single down-and-back pass.

Importing an Account Configuration will erase all saved Equipment profiles, display layouts, Clients / Farms / Fields, and field map data. Export all desired elements before importing.

Prescriptions and Boundaries

For prescriptions and boundaries, connect an external USB drive with the desired files and select the desired option. A popup with files of that type which are loaded onto the USB drive will open. Select each of the desired files, or press Select All in the lower right, then press Import.

note

The Force All Exterior Polygons option is a troubleshooting measure intended for use when experiencing improper prescription / boundary control. Delete the originally imported file before using this option.

info

All prescriptions and boundaries must be in shape file format (or .2020 file format) to import into the 20|20. A shape file consists of 3 files with the same name but a different file extension (.shp + .shx + .dbf). For example, to import a prescription named "Seeding", the user must to generate the following files from a third-party program:

• Seeding.shp
• Seeding.shx
• Seeding.dbf

The user must then place those 3 files onto a USB drive, then import into the 20|20. The 3 files will show as 1 file in the popup.

tip

If issues are encountered when importing prescriptions or boundaries, try using a different USB drive, or try importing only one shape file at a time.

Panorama Account Configuration

Press Panorama Account Configuration or select Panorama Account under Import Data in the Navigation Menu to import a Client / Farm / Field structure from a paired Panorama operation.

Understanding Home Screen Metrics

Singulation - Measure of meter performance showing the percentage of seeds that are properly singulated - where the meter releases one seed rather than a skip or multiple.

SRI - Seed Release Index. SRI measures the consistency of seed spacing. It only takes into account properly singulated seeds so that skips and multiples are factored out of this measurement. It is a rolling average of the Seeds to Average value set in the seeding system alerts. The lower the number, the more consistent the seed spacing is. A theoretically perfect SRI score would be zero (0) and would indicate that every seed was placed in the exact correct position relative to its neighbors. Seed Release Index values over 32 mean that consistency of seed spacing is so erratic that it is considered to be random. Many factors, including meter type, meter performance, drive type, sensor location, ride quality, and seed characteristics may affect SRI. The expected SRI will be different for different planters with different meter and drive type combinations. Regardless of these differences, SRI commonly begins to have agronomic implications when it rises to 20 or higher. Because of this, the SRI button is configured by default to turn yellow when SRI reaches 20. This may be changed in the Limit Adjustments menu. Note that SRI on the planter will be higher than SRI on a MeterMax test stand

Down Force - This indicates the force acting on the gauge wheels. This is achieved by measuring the pressure against the depth stop created when the gauge wheels push against and converting that pressure into pounds of pressure. This is accomplished with a load cell installed on the row unit. For information on setting down force controls, see the relevant operators guide.

Down Force Average - This displays the average measurement of all load cell readings on the planter over a given period of time. This time period varies depending on the down force system installed.

Margin - This is the lowest measured load cell reading in a given period of time on one row (varies with down force system installed). The Margin value displayed on the home screen Down Force button is an average of this value across all load cell-equipped rows on the planter.

Ground Contact - The percentage of time the system can confirm that the gauge wheels have met the depth stop, which generally indicates that the row unit is planting at the depth to which it has been set.

Skips / Multiples - This metric identifies the breakdown of improperly singulated seeds among skips and multiples.

Good Ride - The Good Ride metric displays the percent of time when ride quality is sufficient not to interfere with seed spacing. This measurement provides assistance in diagnosing spacing errors caused by rough row unit ride. It is primarily used to help maximize speed while maintaining good SRI performance. When SRI is high and good ride is high, slowing down may improve SRI performance.

Average Spacing - This metric indicates the average spacing of seeds in the seed trench. It is calculated by dividing a number of seeds by the distance traveled while planting those seeds. It is not an indication of spacing accuracy.
