The control system is based on a PLC platform and communicates over a CAN bus. The control system is very user-friendly. The disc trencher is fitted with sensors that send information to the control system about, for example, the base machine’s speed, the angle of the discs, and the position of the arms. The control system has eight programmable operating programs chosen from the controls in the cab. The display is used to make settings in the control system and read information from the scarifier. The control system keeps track of the scarified area and the distance covered, for both individual sites and in total, as well as the number of hours worked.
