Southern Illinois | The AIM consists of 2 types of modules. One is set with the armrest switches to set boom pressure. The pressure module uses a pressure sensor and changes the pump speed hydraulically to keep the set pressure constant as the flow demand changes.
The boom modules control the pulsing of the nozzles. The master boom module gets input from the rate controller as a + or - 12volt on 2 wires. This is how the rate control of the agleader will control things. The boom modules just copy the even and odd solenoid on/off time out of the master module. You add slave modules to add 3 more boom sections off each one.
You set your agleader liquid system to act as if it was running a "standard valve". This tells it to do the +/-12 volt signalling.
So this gives you a wide speed range for a given tip size where boom pressure can be kept constant. Check the AIm/ Capstan tip charts to select the nozzle size you want to use.
So then the agleader can be connected to all the armrest boom switches but you have to do a bit of customizing to still run the raven autoboom through the pro700.
A pro700 with sprayer software will expect a boom sense and a product node to still be talking to it on the vehicle can bus. While it's fine to still let them onboard, you will need to disconnect those from the rate control and boom control shutoffs on the boom itself. There will be an accuboom node (boom shut off raven) mounted on the center boom. You can tie your agleader boom outputs in there and disconnect the accumboom.
Since the AIM modules are all under the plastic cover on the boom, you can just get to everything there. All of your agleader stuff can be connected back there.
And again, unless you replace the autoboom node with a raven ISO bus autoboom node, you will have to set the boom height in the 700. So leave the boom sense node getting signal also from the master switch on the hydro lever.
It's been a few years since I worked on sprayers so just from memory it isn't too hard to connect in the agleader while keeping the raven hooked up so the boom height can still be run.
