Abstract

The authors showed that a further productivity increase and an improvement in the tillage quality require the use of automated control systems for the tillage units operation. (Research purpose) To make a structural components analysis of a complex of tillage units automated control. (Materials and methods) The authors used scientific and technical information and patent literature. They made a structural components analysis of an automated control system of the tillage units operation.(Results and discussion) The authors showed that the system for assessing the technical condition of a tillage can use a vision system and tensometric equipment. The adaptive functional configuration system involves the use of a system for scanning the subsoil layer, technical vision, and tensometric equipment. One of the most important aspects of the stability of the technological process is the development of conditions for the formation of a self-fulfilling traction line. (Conclusions) Tensometric equipment, a vision system, and ultrasound scanning can be used as systems included in the automated control complexes of the tillage units operation. The functioning of these systems should be based on the operation of a neural network, linking the soil cultivation quality indicators and the implement kinematic parameters in a joint complex.
