  • Patent number: 11564343
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a method for operating a user terminal (7) of an agricultural machine, comprising providing a user terminal (7) in a control system (3) of an agricultural machine, the user terminal (7) connected to a power supply and configured to transmit, through a control bus (6), control signals to functional elements (10a; 10b) of the agricultural machine; enabling operation of the user terminal (7), after a period of time the user terminal was turned-off before, comprising enabling a user control mode of operation of the user terminal (7); running software applications in the user terminal (7); enabling a display device of the user terminal (7); and enabling the control bus (6), thereby, operating the control bus (6) in a bus control mode allowing for transmission of the control signals through the control bus (6); controlling operation of one of the functional elements (10a; 10b) of the agricultural machine in the user control mode of operation; in response to a user input, generating

  • Patent number: 11233673
    Abstract: The disclosure refers to a method for operating an user terminal (7) of an agricultural machine, comprising: providing a user terminal (7) in a control system (3) of an agricultural machine, the user terminal (7) connected to a power supply (13) and configured to transmit, through a control bus (6), control signals to functional elements (10a; 10b) of the agricultural machine; applying a supply power, through a supply line, to the user terminal (7) with a voltage level provided by the power supply (13), the voltage level being an normal operation voltage level; determining at least one of a turn-on state of an ignition device of the agricultural machine and a drop of the supply power provided by the power supply (13) in the supply line to a reduced voltage level which is smaller than a minimum operation voltage level, the minimum operation voltage level being equal to or smaller than the normal operation voltage level and the drop of the supply power being caused by the ignition device switching into the turn
