Overview
The Raven CAN Switch Box is designed to interface with Raven field computers
such as the Envizio Pro and Envizio Pro II and offer product and section control
features at the operator’s finger tips.
The CAN Switch Box features:
• Internal boom sense and speed node and CANbus terminator for simplified
cabling and installation. The CAN Switch Box provides section status
information (based upon switch positions) to the product control console or field
computer for section mapping and rate control adjustments.
• Bright backlit switch panel.
• Four section switches for quick implement section control.
• A Master/Override switch for full boom or implement control.
• An Increase/Decrease switch for quick application rate adjustments.
• A Logic Power LED.
• In addition to the above features, the CAN Switch Box for use with OmniRow
systems offers implement control switches which may be used to control
several functions connected to the OmniRow control system.
Care and Maintenance
Refer to the following items when selecting a mounting location for the CAN
Switch Box and Raven control console.
• The switch box is not weatherproof. Mount the switch box inside of the machine
cab or driver compartment within easy reach of the driver or operator.
• The switch box should be mounted in a location where it will not be jarred during
normal equipment operation. Keep the console and switch box clear of moving
elements within the cab.
• Route all cables to avoid pinching, kinking or damaging the cable and to avoid
tripping hazards.

CAN Switch Box Operation
Important: The CAN Switch Box must be used as the primary control interface
for section, master or product control status.
Make sure to toggle the master switch to the off position when closing or
exiting a job to avoid unintentional product application once the field
computer or control console closes application management functions. It
is also good practice to shut off product and section switches when the
application system is not being used.
The CAN Switch Box puts the section and product control modes right at the
operator’s finger tips.
Refer to the following sections for detailed
operation of the CAN Switch Box:
Logic Power LED
This LED indicates the status of CAN logic
power into the CAN Switch Box. This LED
should be on (solid) during normal
operation.
The Logic Power LED will begin flashing if
low logic power is supplied to the CAN
Switch Box. Troubleshoot the logic power
system before proceeding with operations.
If this LED is not lit when the Raven console or field computer is powered up,
troubleshoot the CANbus system before starting any system operations.
Transport/Plant Mode Switch
The transport mode switch is used lock out switch box functions when the
implement is being transported over the road or when ready for work in the field.
TRANS. Toggle the mode switch to “TRANS” mode when transporting the
implement. This mode allows the operator to use the fold, wing, and latch
features.
PLANT. Toggle the switch to field “PLANT” mode to use the switch box during field
operations.

engage the fan or vacuum system or a down pressure control system connected
to the OmniRow system for seed handling and singulation.
5 - Lights Switch. The Lights switch may be connected to a work light system or
provide auxiliary output for general purpose use.
6 - Section Switches. The 3-way selectable section switches may be used to
toggle each section (up to four individual sections).
The section switches may be used to toggle up to ten individual sections. Raven
field computers are also capable of controlling additional sections using the
section mapping feature to group sections to the same switch. Refer to the field
computer Installation and Operation Manual for additional information.
Note: Envizio Pro software version 3.5 or newer is required to access section
mapping. Contact a local Raven dealer for additional information.
Each of the four section switches may be toggled individually to one of the three
following positions:
• ON - manually control the section on. AccuBoom control of the section is
disabled and will not automatically control this section based on coverage, zone
maps or field boundaries.
• ACCU - AccuBoom automatic section control is enabled for the section. If
installed and properly set up for the active job, the AccuBoom features will
automatically turn sections on or off based upon previous coverage, zone maps
or field boundaries created or active in the job.
Refer to the control console or field computer operation manual for more
information about using the AccuBoom system.
• OFF - manually control the section off. This section will remain off regardless of
AccuBoom control features.
Note: Leave the section switch in the off position for any sections not connected
or controlled by the Raven control console or field computer.

7 - Increase/Decrease Rate Switch.
Note: The INC/DEC switch only controls the selected product in automatic or
manual mode. Refer to the field computer or control console manual for
more information on selecting products during application.
For selected products set to automatic control mode, the INC/DEC switch is used
to increase or decrease the target rate of products selected and actively displayed
on the console or field computer.
In order for this switch to work properly, a ‘Rate Bump’ (Rate +/-) value must be
programmed for each product. Refer to the control console or field computer
operation manual for more information on programming this feature.
For selected products set to manual control mode, holding the INC/DEC switch
will open or close the product control valve, increasing or decreasing the flow of
product respectively. Refer to the control console or field computer operation
manual for instructions on programming products or switching a product to
manual mode.

CAN Troubleshooting
Although the control algorithm is located within the CAN node(s), the same
troubleshooting techniques that apply to traditional hard wired control systems still
apply to a CANbus control network. CAN allows for modularization of the control
system, but the behavior of the system remains the same. Flow and speed
sensors, the control valve and any boom valves, are used in the same manner.
The following are some common causes for communication failures:
Issue Possible
Cause Solution
Console or
CANbus cannot
find nodes
Switch Box is
not properly
connected
Check switched power connection.
Check the CANbus connection to the
Switch Box and reinitialize the console
to detect the Switch Box nodes.
Ensure console is powered on.
No power to
Switch Box Check chassis cable power and ground connections.
Weak or dirty
power to CAN
nodes Verify at least +10V DC is present on
