ADVANCED FARMING SYSTEMS
Introduction
The Case IH Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) yield and moisture monitoring system on an
88 Series combine shares many of the features found on previous midrange (2100, 2300,
2500) AFS combines. However, there are significant differences as well. The following pages
will provide an overview of the entire 88 Series AFS system, including component identification
and discussion, an explanation of how the components work together to provide data to the
operator, and information on setup, calibration, operation, and diagnostics/troubleshooting.
Objectives
After completion of this section of the training manual, the learner will be able to

Flow Sensor
The grain flow sensor, also called the “Yield Sensor Module” or “YSM”, is located at the top of
the clean grain elevator. It is an impact type flow rate sensor that uses an internal strain
gauge to measure the force of the grain against a plate. A voltage signal is sent directly to the
cab display via the primary vehicle CAN bus. The voltage signal is directly proportional to the
force against the impact plate. The higher the force, the more pounds of grain that are being
delivered to the grain tank and the higher the voltage sent to the display.
While harvesting, the flow sensor MUST be calibrated for each crop type to synchronize it to
the display. Calibration teaches the display that X Volts equals Y lbs. of grain in the tank. If
calibration is done properly, the grain flow sensor is extremely accurate. Errors of less than
1% are easily achieved.
The grain flow sensor’s impact plate is a wear item. It should be inspected often and can be
replaced when needed. The impact plate is designed to provide extended wear in abrasive
crops. If the flow sensor or impact plate is replaced after the system has been calibrated, the
calibrations will have to be rechecked to ensure system accuracy.
Wait a Minute… What about the Yield Monitor Interface Unit (YMIU)? The
YMIU is no longer used, beginning with MY2008 AF 7010/8010 combines and MY2009 88
Series Axial-Flow Combines. The flow sensor now produces its own CAN signal, which is sent
directly to the cab display via the primary vehicle CAN bus.
Wait a Minute… What about the deflector plate, paddle tip clearance and
chain adjustments that are so important on the 2x00 Series combines? The 88 Series
elevator has the deflector plate built in, and the flow sensor is attached to the elevator head.
Therefore, as the chain is adjusted, the position of the sensor relative to the paddles doesn’t
change.

IMPORTANT! The grain flow sensor must be calibrated for each crop type!
The crop’s moisture and temperature levels have a direct impact on accurate yield readings.
To provide accurate yield per acre, the moisture and temperature signals are processed by the
CXCM and sent to the display unit, where it is used to correct the incoming flow sensor data.
¾ The moisture and temperature sensors are in a common housing mounted to the
bypass unit on the clean grain elevator. The bypass unit is mounted on the outside of
the clean grain elevator. (see next page)
¾ The moisture sensor is a capacitance type sensor, which monitors the crop moisture
levels during harvest. The sensor fin sends out a low voltage and the housing of the
sensor is grounded to the clean grain elevator. The grain flowing over the fin is the
electrical conductor between the fin and the elevator. Higher crop moisture levels
provide a better conductor, resulting in more electrical current flowing between the fin
and the grounded sensor housing ground. A signal voltage based on the crop moisture
is sent to the CXCM. To get accurate dry bushels per acre, the wet bushels value
must be corrected for the amount of moisture it contains above marketable moisture
levels.
¾ The temperature sensor (the bronze dot at the base of the moisture sensor fin)
measures the crop temperature during harvest. The temperature sensor is a current-
based sensor. Higher temperatures result in higher current levels transmitted to the
CXCM. Generally speaking, an 11°C (20°F) change in temperature will produce a 1%
change in moisture. This change is inversely proportional. (As temperature increases,
moisture decreases.)
¾ The moisture sensor is easily removed from the housing using 2 wing nuts. This
allows for inspection, cleaning and testing if needed.
IMPORTANT! The moisture sensor must be calibrated for each crop type!

Wait a Minute… In abrasive, hard moving crops like rice, an auger sleeve
insert was available for 2300 Series units to help prevent excessive wear on the auger
and the premature failure of the auger drive motor. Do the bypass units on 88 Series
combines need an insert? No insert is needed. The design of the 88 Series bypass unit
features a curved auger housing as an integral part of the component. This is also true of the
AF 7010/8010 bypass unit.
The clean grain elevator RPM sensor (SEN-213) monitors the elevator speed. This sensor is
actually a switch mounted to the left end of the clean grain auger that closes once for each
revolution of the clean grain auger. The speed signal (pulse) is sent directly to the A Post 2
(Connector 34, Pin 17), which counts the number of times the switch closes in one minute
(Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)). The A Post 2 broadcasts this information to the other
controllers on the combine via the primary vehicle CAN bus. The AFS Pro 600 display sees
the information on the CAN bus and uses it to determine that the separator is running and to
establish the current grain flow rate used to adjust the incoming measurements from the flow
sensor. Yield monitor data is only recorded if the sensed clean grain elevator shaft speed is
between 250 RPM and 599 RPM.
Wait a Minute… This looks just like the sensor on a 2500 series combine. Is
it any different? No, this is the same clean grain elevator shaft speed sensor used on 2300
and 2500 series combines. The part number is 87389529.

The ground speed sensor (SEN-209) is mounted in the top of the ground drive transmission.
Although the AFS Pro 600 display refers to this sensor as the “Wheel” speed sensor, this
sensor actually monitors the transmission speed, not the wheel speed. This provides a
theoretical ground speed. The mathematical formula for Area is: Area = Length X Width
(A=LW). Ground speed (distance traveled (in feet or meters)) is used to determine the Length
(L) component. The operator uses the cab display to set a Header Width and Work Width.
The system uses the Work Width as the Width component. So, for AFS purposes, Area =
Distance X Work Width. The number of acres covered is used to provide accurate crop yields
in bushels per acre (Bu/Ac) or tonnes per hectare (Tonnes/Ha). The accuracy of the signal
depends on the tire inflation pressure, combine weight and weight distribution, field conditions
and tire slippage. The operator must go through a distance calibration procedure to ensure
the accuracy of the ground speed sensor. This signal is shared with all combine systems that
depend on ground speed.
The ground speed RPM sensor is actually a switch that closes every time a tooth on the bull
gear in the ground drive transmission passes by the sensor. It is wired directly to the A Post 2
(Connector 34, Pin 21). The A Post 2 broadcasts the ground speed on the primary vehicle
CAN bus and compares the speed value with the distance calibration value from the AFS Pro
600 display, which is also broadcast on the primary vehicle CAN bus.
If the A Post 2 detects that a Distance Calibration has not been performed in the AFS Pro 600
display, the A Post 2 (and AFS Pro 600 display) will use the A Post 2 ground speed value to
display vehicle speed and to calculate distance traveled and area covered. If the A Post 2
detects that a Distance Calibration HAS been performed in the AFS Pro 600 display, the A
Post 2 (and AFS Pro 600 display) will use the AFS Pro 600 calibrated distance value.
Wait a Minute… What about using Radar or GPS speed? 88 Series combines do
not have an optional radar system available. Some versions of AF Midrange display software
may include “Radar” as an option in the Ground Speed Source popup window; however, radar
is not supported on 88 Series combines.
GPS speed is supported, and can be selected in the Ground Speed Source popup window.
When “GPS” is selected in the Ground Speed Source popup window, the AFS Pro 600 and A
Post 2 will use the speed signal from the installed GPS receiver. If the speed signal from the
GPS receiver is not valid, the Pro 600 and A Post 2 will revert to the transmission speed
sensor signal. Distance Calibration is not required when using the “GPS” speed source.
Wait a Minute… What if the combine is not equipped with an AFS Pro 600
display? How is distance (ground speed) calibration completed? If the combine is not
equipped with an AFS Pro 600 display, distance calibration is completed using the A Post 2. If
an AFS Pro 600 display is added in the future, the AFS system will continue to use the
calibrated A Post 2 distance calibration value until a distance calibration is performed in the
AFS Pro 600.

ADVANCED FARMING SYSTEMS
The feeder position sensor (SEN-202) is mounted on the left rear corner of the feeder house.
It monitors the feeder’s position, toggling data recording on and off as the feeder is raised and
lowered. This permits the logging of harvesting distance only while the feeder is in the cutting
position (below the calibrated Maximum Working Height). Maximum Working Height is
specific to each Crop Type, and therefore must be set independently for each Crop Type
and/or field condition.
It is common for portions of the crop in a given field to vary in height. If the operator does not
set the Maximum Working Height high enough, the display may shut off the logging of data
when the operator raises the header for the taller crop and the display detects that the header
is above the Maximum Working Height, based on the feeder position signal.
The feeder position sensor is a solid-state potentiometer that is wired directly to the CXCM
(Connector 18, Pin B2), which then broadcasts the feeder position over the primary vehicle
CAN bus. The AFS Pro 600 picks up this signal from the CAN bus and uses it to inform the
operator about cutting height and as the ‘switch’ to turn acre counting and GPS data logging
ON and OFF, based on the position of the header relative to the current Maximum Working
Height. Since the system is running off a relative voltage signal from the sensor there is no
predetermined adjustment. Make sure that the continuous signal varies over the full feeder
house travel and that the sensor is calibrated (Maximum Working Height) for each Crop Type.
NavII Controller
When the operator performs an autoguidance-related operation via the AFS Pro 600
display, the display sends messaging on the secondary CAN bus (CAN-B) to the NavII,
which then performs the commanded function. For example, if the operator presses
the Nudge Left arrow on the Pro 600, the Pro 600 sends a “Nudge Left” message to
the NavII, which then processes this message and sends the appropriate pulse-width
modulation (PWM) voltage (based on current heading, yaw, pitch, roll, and position of
the vehicle relative to the desired path) to the Steer Left solenoid (SOL-167A), which
opens to allow oil to flow to the steering cylinder to steer the combine to the left. 88
Series combines have a solid-state steering sensor (SEN-164) mounted on the right
steering knuckle. This sensor sends a variable voltage to the NavII. When the NavII
detects that the steering sensor signal indicates that the steering correction has been
completed, the NavII reduces the pulse-width modulation to the Steer Left solenoid,
causing the valve to close slightly and steering to return to the “pre-nudge” position.

The NavII is a controller and has firmware that can be updated to change or improve
system performance using the same hardware. The following components are wired
directly to the NavII Controller:
- autoguidance enable switch
- manual override sensor
- autoguidance enable solenoid (isolation solenoid)
- steering sensor
- steer left relay & solenoid
- steer right relay & solenoid
- GPS receiver
Other sensor/controller data may be available to the NavII controller on the primary
and secondary CAN busses.
The NavII is mounted to the outside front wall of the grain tank, behind the right hand
service door. The NavII must be mounted with the flat side of the controller against the
grain tank, and the connectors facing down. Any other orientation will cause a fault to
be displayed on the AFS Pro 600 display.
The NavII does not have an LED light or other external indicator to show the operating
condition of the unit. Use the EST or the onboard diagnostics in the Pro 600 display to
determine if the NavII is operating correctly.
The operating software within the NavII is updateable using the Electronic Service
Tool. NavII controllers shipped from CNH Parts should arrive with software loaded,
ready to install on the vehicle. However, this software may or may not be the latest
version available at the time of installation.
Autoguidance Valve
The Autoguidance Valve is responsible for executing the commands sent by the NavII
Controller to actually steer the combine. The Autoguidance Valve consists of an
Autoguidance Enable Solenoid (SOL-168), Steer Left and Steer Right Solenoids (SOL-
167A & SOL-167B), a pilot-operated load sense valve, and a shuttle cartridge. Refer
to the 88 Series Axial-Flow Combine Hydraulic Schematic for a valve diagram.
NOTE: Enabling the system does NOT mean that the autoguidance system is steering
the combine. It only means that the pathway through the valve is open and available to
be used. If the system has not been “enabled”, no oil can flow through the valve.
After the autoguidance system has been enabled, and a number of parameters are
met, the operator can “engage” the system. Engaging the system means that the
operator has commanded the NavII Controller to automatically steer the combine
based on inputs from the AFS Pro 600 display, GPS receiver, and steering sensor.
When the autoguidance system is engaged, oil flows from the steering priority valve
through the Autoguidance Enable Solenoid to the Steer Left and Steer Right Solenoids,
which are commanded by pulse-width modulation from the NavII controller.

Steering Sensor
The Steering Sensor (SEN-164) is responsible for monitoring the steering angle of the
combine. The sensor sends a variable voltage signal to the NavII Controller, which
uses this signal input, along with signals from the AFS Pro 600 and from the GPS
receiver, in calculating steering corrections while autoguidance is engaged.
The Steering Sensor is a solid-state sensor, not a potentiometer. There is one gyro
and one accelerometer inside the Steering Sensor unit, allowing the sensor to
accurately sense the degree of change in steering angle.
The Steering Sensor does not typically require a user-initiated calibration. The sensor
self-calibrates periodically during operation. If the self-calibration fails, a message will
be displayed to the user, advising the user to drive in a straight line for a given
distance. This allows the sensor to recalibrate, after which normal operation can
resume.
On combines equipped with a Power Guide Axle (PGA), the Steering Sensor is
mounted on the rear side of the kingpin. On non-PGA combines, the Steering Sensor
is mounted on the front side of the kingpin.

priority valve.
When autoguidance is engaged, the Manual Override Sensor detects when the
operator attempts to manually override automatic steering, and sends a signal to the
NavII Controller. The NavII Controller then disables automatic steering, allowing the
operator to manually steer the combine. There are two types of Manual Override
Sensors found on 88 Series combines. (Only one will be used on any given machine.)

Campaign H1309 (AFL UP 003 09) replaced the flow switch override sensor
with the sprocket sensor, for all pre-production 88 Series combines
equipped with AFS AccuGuide autoguidance.
The Autoguidance Enable Switch (SW-101) is used to manually enable or disable the
autoguidance system. Remember that “enabling” the system means that the NavII
Controller energizes the Autoguidance Enable Solenoid (isolation solenoid) to provide
a path for oil to flow through the Autoguidance Valve. When the operator “disables” the
system, the NavII Controller de-energizes the isolation solenoid, closing the pathway
through the valve, and making autosteering impossible.
The Autoguidance Enable Switch is installed into the right hand console, at the far left
side of the third row of switches. This position is directly to the left of the Upper Sieve
Position Control switch position, and directly below the Auto Header Height Control
switch position.

The CXCM performs a number of functions on the combine, including some precision
farming functions. In this document, we will discuss only the functions related to
precision farming. The CXCM does not provide any message processing specifically
related to autoguidance.
The CXCM is a controller and has firmware that can be updated to change or improve
system performance using the same hardware. The moisture, temperature, and feeder
position sensors are wired directly to the CXCM. Other sensor information is available
to the CXCM on the primary vehicle CAN bus.
The CXCM is mounted on the inside back wall of the cab, under the instructor’s seat.
The CXCM does not have an LED light or other external indicator to show the
operating condition of the unit. Use the EST or the onboard diagnostics in the Pro 600
display to determine if the CXCM is operating correctly.
The operating software within the CXCM is updateable using the Electronic Service

Wait a Minute… The YMIU stored some AFS-related values (calibration values,
etc.) as a backup of the values stored in the display memory and on the datacard. Does
the CXCM now store these values? NO, the CXCM does not store these values. (In
addition, the YMIU does not store any values when used on any vehicle with a color display.)
The AFS Pro 600 display provides a touchscreen operator interface for yield and moisture
monitoring (standard), mapping (optional), autoguidance (optional), and Automatic Crop
Settings (ACS) (optional). The AFS Pro 600 is a ruggedized mobile computer that monitors
the various machine functions and provides the operator with control over selected vehicle
functions. It is mounted to the headliner above the right-hand service door, within easy reach
of the operator. The display mount utilizes a RAM ball-mount, which allows a nearly infinite
range of positioning to accommodate operator preferences and operating conditions. The
display also has adjustments for speaker volume and backlight.
The AFS Pro 600 provides the operator with an interface to perform setup functions and
calibrations, control selected vehicle systems, display selected system parameters, and
download data to ATA Flash or CompactFlash data cards for transfer to a compatible precision
farming desktop software application, such as AFS Harvest and Application Control Systems.
Position data can also be collected if used with a DGPS receiver; this allows for the creation of
real-time yield maps while harvesting or in the desktop software after transferring the data with
the data card. Harvest summary information and machine calibration information is also
stored in the display backup memory when the system powers down.
The AFS Pro 600 display is a controller and has software that is updateable using the
Electronic Service Tool (EST). New displays from Parts are shipped with no software
installed, and must be programmed prior to use. Updates to the display software may require
updates to other controllers installed on the vehicle.

Wait a Minute… I already have an Ag Leader Insight. Can I use that display in
this combine? Unless expressly authorized by CNH, the use of 3rd-party displays or
components is not supported, and may require replacement or modification of existing
sensors, harnesses, or other components.
Wait a Minute… I already have an AFS Pro 600 that I use with another piece of
AFS equipment. Can I transfer that display to my 88 Series combine? YES, absolutely.
The AFS Pro 600 is completely portable from one supported vehicle type to another. The only
requirement is that the correct software is loaded in the display.
Data Card
A data card must be used to save data from the AFS Pro 600, and to transfer data between
the AFS Pro 600 and the desktop software or another AFS Pro 600 display..
IMPORTANT! The data card must be installed in the display before turning on
the key switch, and must not be removed until the display has completely powered
down.
The data card stores all data recorded by the display, including GPS data if the combine is
equipped with a GPS receiver. The internal flash memory in the AFS Pro 600 display stores
setup data, calibration data, and yield/moisture summary data, but DOES NOT STORE ANY
GPS DATA. When GPS data is received by the display, the display writes the GPS data to the
data card. The display also holds the GPS data in temporary memory for onscreen mapping
purposes only. This temporary onscreen mapping memory in the display is erased when
the operator selects a different Field, and when the display is powered down. When the
key switch is turned OFF, the display will writes ALL remaining harvesting information
(including GPS) and other vehicle parameters to the card before shutting down. As the
system powers down, all data EXCEPT GPS data will be written to backup memory on the
display. The backup memory information will be an exact copy of the summary data that is
stored on the current datacard, but will NOT include the GPS data.
If the data card is removed BEFORE the display unit has completely powered down, the
operator will lose data. DO NOT REMOVE THE CARD FROM THE DISPLAY UNTIL THE
DISPLAY HAS COMPLETELY POWERED DOWN!!!
By default, the AFS Pro 600 checks for a data card as the display boots up, and if no data card
is detected, the display will warn the operator via an audible alarm, a popup window, and an
icon in the Status/Warning Icon Area. However, if the operator intentionally chooses to
operate the display without a datacard installed, the display offers a configuration option that
will disable the “missing datacard” warning. This mode of operation is not recommended, as it
completely disables GPS and may affect other functionality.

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the card from the display until the display has
completely powered down.
Wait a Minute… I was riding with my neighbor, and saw that he had a map on
his AFS Pro 600 display, but he didn’t have a datacard installed. How does that work?
As indicated above, GPS data is stored temporarily in the display “map memory”. This
memory is used to display an onscreen map to the operator, and is used even when no
removable datacard is installed in the display. HOWEVER, this memory is permanently
erased any time the operator changes Fields, and when the display is powered down. GPS
data cannot be recalled from the internal memory or saved later to a datacard. If a removable
datacard is NOT installed in the display at the time the GPS data is received into the display,
the GPS data is not permanently recorded and is lost. Your neighbor was not recording GPS
data, even though he was seeing a map on the display.
Before any harvesting information can be written to the data card the following signals have to
be received by the display unit:
The card must be detected by the AFS Pro 600 display. (Install the card before
powering on.)
The Maximum Working Height must be set for the current Crop Type and the
header must be positioned below the Maximum Working Height setting. The
display unit will provide one long beep when the header is lowered below the set
value and a user-configured number of beeps when raised above the set value.
The number of Work Alarm beeps is set on the TOOLBOX > COMBINE screen in
the AFS Pro 600 display. (COMBINE SETUP > COMBINE in v16.* software)
The ground speed must be above 0.5 MPH. This value can be monitored on any
RUN screen in the AFS Pro 600 display.
The clean grain elevator shaft speed must be between 250-599 RPM. This value
can be monitored on any RUN screen in the AFS Pro 600 display.

ADVANCED FARMING SYSTEMS
On previous AFS systems there was a simple answer. We knew how much space the
summary information required, subtracted that from the total, and the rest was available for
GPS records. It’s not as simple now. The AFS Pro 600 display stores data in a multiple-file
format, called Voyager2. Because of this and because we store calibration data at the Task
level (instead of one set of calibrations for all Tasks), it is difficult to predict how much harvest
information will fit on a card. Factors that influence how much harvest activity can be stored
on a card are the number of Growers, Farms, Fields, and Tasks, the GPS logging interval (if
installed), and the capacity of the datacard. More Farms, Fields, and Tasks fill up the card
faster. A shorter GPS logging interval (for example, 1-second) fills up the card faster than a
longer interval (for example, 3-second). Engineering tests and field reports indicate that an 88
Series display, logging GPS data every 1 second, will record approximately 500 hours of data
to a 128MB datacard, or 2000 hours of data to a 512MB datacard.
The display will tell you how much data you can store. Error codes are built into the system to
warn an operator when the card is 90% full, and when the card is full. Also, the Diagnostics
screens can be used at any time to find out how much of the card capacity is being used.
IMPORTANT! The only way to gain more card space is to delete existing
combine data. Make sure the data is archived (saved to the desktop software) before
deleting. When GPS records are deleted, they are permanently erased. If the data hase
not been archived to the desktop software, it is lost forever and cannot be recovered.
IMPORTANT! CNH color displays utilize a multiple file format instead of the
.yld file format of older systems. All files are contained in a file folder named *.CN1,
where “*” is an 8-character (YYMMDDRR) datestamp, such as “080421R1”. Do not
delete individual files or sub folders from within the CN1 directory. Also, don’t put more
than one CN1 folder on the same card. When using Windows Explorer to move files
make sure you move the entire CN1 folder. Also, the AFS Pro 600 places error log files
on the card in the following directory: *.CN1\LOG. The error logs are text files (*.txt),
and can be read using any text editor on a desktop computer. These error logs can be
valuable troubleshooting tools.
The data card does not need to be removed from the display unit when the combine and
display unit is shut down. There are no batteries to run down (either in the datacard or in the
display).

CAN Bus
The CAN (Communication Area Network) Bus is a communications system that uses
digital signals rather than analog signals to provide communications between ALL the
controllers on the combine. The communications will be coming and going between all the
controllers at the same time. It may be best to think of it as a telephone party line, where
many people can carry on a conversation over one pair of wires at the same time. On 88
Series combines equipped with AFS, there are always 4 different controllers
communicating with each other via the primary vehicle CAN (CAN-A) bus. They are:
CXCM (Combine XCM), A Post 2, AFS Pro 600 color display, and the flow sensor (also
call the “YSM” or Yield Sensor Module). If GPS is installed, the receiver communicates
with the AFS Pro 600 on a second CAN bus (CAN-B). If autoguidance is installed, the
NavII controller communicates with the display and the GPS receiver on CAN-B.

CAN Terminators
CAN terminators are non-serviceable 120-ohm fixed resistance units that are used to
remove magnetic interference that may be coming from radios, phones, message
echoes, etc. This ensures that the digital signals between controllers are not
corrupted. The CAN terminators look like 3-pin Deutsch connector caps, but have only
two wires. The two terminators are both connected to the yellow and green wires.
There are 4 passive CAN terminators on an 88 Series AFS combine. (Remember that
we can have two CAN busses on these combines.) One terminator is located at each
end of each CAN bus harness. For CAN-A, one terminator is located in the headliner
near the A Post 2, and the other is located near the engine controller (not IN the engine
controller). (See below for CAN-B.)
As noted above, 88 Series combines have a second CAN bus (CAN-B) to support the
additional messaging required by the optional DGPS receiver and/or AFS AccuGuide
autoguidance. This second CAN bus includes two additional passive terminators, one
located at the DGPS receiver, and the other located in the headliner near the AFS Pro
600 display. If DGPS and/or AccuGuide and/or the AFS Pro 600 display are not
installed, the second CAN bus is not used.

bus systems? The CAN terminators used on 88 Series combines are fixed resistors
and are referred to as “passive terminators” because they don’t need to be powered up
to work. “Active terminators” (used on 2x00 series combines) require 12VDC and a
ground to work – passive terminators don’t need to be powered. Other CNH
equipment using the CAN system has adopted passive terminator technology as well.
If one terminator is removed from the system it may or may not work correctly. There
may be intermittent communications especially in the vicinity of radio waves. The
messages that the yellow and green wires carry may become corrupted. If both
terminators are removed the system will not operate properly. Since the 88 Series
combine relies on CAN messages even for non-AFS-related communication, the
machine will not work properly if both terminators are failed or removed.

The 88 Series combine uses the CNH standard 9-pin Deutsch connector for vehicle
diagnostics. This connector is used to communicate with controllers on the vehicle
CAN bus (CAN-A) – the AFS Pro 600, the CXCM, the A Post 2, and the Flow Sensor
(called the Yield Sensor Module on the EST). The diagnostic connector also includes
access to CAN-B; however, no diagnostic or programming functionality is supported for
controllers on CAN-B at this time.
This special connector is located just to the left of the cupholder at the right-rear corner
of the operator’s seat. A special communication interface box (Dearborn Protocol
Adapter, or DPA) must be connected between the combine and the EST in order to
monitor system operations, perform diagnostic procedures, or upload software to any
of the vehicle controllers mentioned above.

Although CAN is the easiest, not all receivers can communicate using CAN. All current Case
IH and/or Trimble receivers (AFS 100, 110, 130, 162, 252, 262, 332, 432, 442) are CAN-
compatible. Case IH AFS Universal Receivers (Trimble AgGPS 132) may or may not be CAN-
compatible, depending on the age of the receiver. AFS Universal Receivers with a part
number ending in “A5” or higher, and that are identified on the back near the antenna
connection with “J1939”, are CAN-compatible. If the Universal Receiver in question is not
identified with the “J1939” marking, it is not CAN-compatible. RS232 must be used to connect
these receivers to any Case IH vehicle. All Beacon Receivers and all competitive receivers
communicate using RS232.
Since there are two communication methods, the display needs to know where to look for the
GPS signal. In the AFS Pro 600, there are four possible GPS Communication Types: CAN-A,
CAN-B, RS232A, and RS232B. For 88 Series combines, CAN-B, RS232A, and RS232B are
all valid options. All GPS receiver setup is performed in TOOLBOX > GPS.
(The following instructions assume an AFS162 or AFS262 receiver is being installed. For
other receivers, contact Technical Support.)

Component software compatibility has become too complex and changes too often to be
included in this service training manual. A chart similar to the chart above is maintained
on ASIST, and includes compatibility information for controller software on all Case IH
combine series. This chart includes AFS systems, as well as vehicle controllers. All AFS
systems from the “Black Box” through the AFS Pro 600 are covered.
Important notes:
• 88 Series combines can use either RS-232 or CAN bus GPS connections
• Any receiver firmware version will work for RS-232 communication
• AFS Pro 600 software version 16.* and higher requires GPS receiver firmware version
3.0 or higher if communicating on the CAN bus.
• All AFS Pro 600 displays must use 32MB and larger data cards (max 4GB).
• AFS desktop software version 6.5 or higher (or an equivalent competitive software
package) is required to read data from the AFS Pro 600 display. The current desktop
software version is always recommended.

When operating in the field, how can I tell if the AFS system is operating correctly?
There are a few display screens that are very useful to help determine the operation of the
system. There are four basic questions that need to be answered:
Determine which values seem to be in error, then check to see if the sensors are working, then
determine if the system has been properly setup, and then check calibration.

After determining which values don’t seem correct, use the charts on the next page to
determine which sensors, setups and calibrations might need to be checked.
Yield Equations
100 - Moisture %
Dry Bushels = Wet Bushels X 100 - Dry Crop Moisture %
Dry bushels are calculated using the wet bushels calculated above and adjusting for moisture
and temperature. The Moisture % is the actual crop moisture as registered by the moisture
sensor and is adjusted for temperature registered by the temperature sensor. The Crop Trade
Moisture is a constant for each Crop Type harvested. It is the usual and customary moisture
at which the crop is traded locally. The system contains default values for Crop Trade
Moisture (varies by Crop Type) that can be changed by the operator if needed.
After determining if the Wet Bushels, Dry Bushels or Acres are not correct, check the
appropriate sensors, setup and calibrations.
