3D-MC: Slope Control Button

Slope Control Button

  • The Slope Control Button displays the slope of the blade and whether the system is in 3D or 2D mode. 
  • It also indicates the status of the connected sensors and blade slope with graphic and colors.
  • The information that displays will be different, depending on the control application.
  • Tapping the Slope Control Button activates the Adjust Slope screen.

Slope Control Button (MC2 Dozer)

  • MC2 Dozer Adjust Slope screen displays the following information:
    • Blade slope is displaying the current slope of the blade not the design surface. Changing this value will change the slope calibration.
    • Mainfall slope is displaying the current machine mainfall not the design mainfall surface. Changing this value will change the mainfall calibration.
    • Slope gain adjusts the speed of the hydraulic response for the slope.  Changing this value will affect the performance.
    • Slope locked allows the operator to override the designed cross slope and lock in any value.  Changing this value will affect the finish grade.

Slope Control Button (MC2 Motor Grader)

  • MC2 Motor Grader Adjust Slope screen displays the following information:
    • Blade slope is displaying the current slope of the blade not the design surface.  Changing this value will change the slope calibration.
    • Blade rotation is displaying the current blade rotation angle. Changing this value will change the rotation calibration.
    • Mainfall slope is displaying the current machine mainfall not the design mainfall surface. Changing this value will change the mainfall calibration.
    • Blade Mainfall Slope is displaying the blade mainfall pitch value. Changing this value will affect the calibration.
    • Slope gain adjusts the speed of the hydraulic response for the slope. Changing this value will affect the performance.
    • Slope locked allows the operator to override the designed cross slope and lock in any value. Changing this value will affect the finish grade.

Slope Control Button (3D-MCMAX Dozer)

  • 3D-MCMAX Dozer Adjust Slope screen displays the following information:
    • Blade slope is displaying the current slope of the blade not the design surface.  
    • Mainfall slope is displaying the current machine mainfall not the design mainfall surface. 
    • Body Mainfall Slope is displaying the body mainfall pitch value.  
    • Slope gain adjusts the speed of the hydraulic response for the slope. Changing this value will affect the performance.
    • Slope locked allows the operator to override the designed cross slope and lock in any value. Changing this value will affect the finish grade.
    • Calibrate take you to a screen that allows you to set the calibration values for both the Body and Blade sensor. Changing any of the values will affect the performance.
