Most CNH machines have a wiring harness that brings all the sensors, valve controls, etc, to the NAV II or NAV III controller computer box, which is often bolted the floor of the cab, sometimes under the seat. I donāt have any wiring diagrams handy. Everything should be quite accessible on this harness without hacking the tractor apart. I found some wiring information from my sprayerās service manual. The WAS sensor is 4 wires and goes to a gyro on my sprayer. Not really sure what kind of signal that is, whether itās CAN or what.
In the PDF Iāve attached, I think the first plate shows you just about everything. The steering valve coils are LH_STEER_ON/LH_STEER_GND, RH_STEER_ON/RH_STEERING_GND.
I believe on the steering valve is a master on/off valve but Iām not clear on how itās wired into this diagram. output.pdf (841.0 KB)
To be informed, does this valve have better features than canbus for MF for example?
Or is it like the ones used by John deere with a single connector?
Itās the same as many of the factory autosteer valves, works with the curvature command. You can also control the hydraulic part with analogue or direct CAN commands left/right.
So you have the possibility of PWM and CAN, my factory valve only works with CAN and has 2 connectors, thatās why I consulted (it works wonderfully with can).
Thanks for answering.
Yeah, the PVED-CLS has a built in steering controller whereas PVED-CC or PVEA-CI is a CAN valve that takes a flow & direction command. Very easy to drive with CAN board on arduino and slightly modified ino as I have now in the older Valtra with the PVG valve group.
If you already have a CAN valve I see no need to replace it with an analogue one with PWM control! Just add a can board and use what you have.
Here you can find the ino for direct CAN control of valve with just the flow commands, itās working on ISOBUS PGNs, you might need to change the valve ID if your valve is using the ISO messages or then you need to dig the messages if they are of some proprietary format. The code also has a support for a CAN wheel angle sensor (Danfoss DST510 message format)
Thereās some deadband testing stuff in the code that you might want to remove, needed to add it as a workaround for some hydraulic issues.
Currently I already have it working thanks to @CommonRail , I will soon receive a new John deere combine (is ready), I will have to investigate how it comes from the factory to install AOG.
I donāt know if they communicate by Can Bus or by PWM.
When I have it I will investigate.
At least on the machines I have, John Deereās valves are PWM, and the sensors for wheel angle and steering wheel movement are analog. The SSU computer communicates with AutoTrac over CAN, however. Would be nice if the protocol used was deciphered. Iāve figured out small parts of it, but no where close to asking the SSU to move the wheels to a certain position. I have no doubt it can be done.
I also got told you can buy unlocks for JohnDeere and use 3rd party steering on ISOBUS? Not sure what models and what cost tho? I donāt know anything about JD gear
@Val In another search I saw this parts list for T7 tier 4B type made after 06/15
Maybe that could help finding the later service manual
Try part number cnh 47936462 or cnh 47936461 to check if they are newer than the one you already got.
