Overview
The Raven CAN Switch Box is designed to interface with Raven CAN control
consoles and field computers such as the Viper Pro, Envizio Pro, or SCS 5000
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.
• Ten section switches for quick boom or implement section control
• Five product control switches for quick product control mode selection
• 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 OmniSeed
systems offers implement control switches for raising and lowering the seed
tube openers and controlling the down pressure on the shanks.
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.
Increase/Decrease Flow 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.

Master/Override Switch
The master switch toggles all section switches on or off. When the master switch
is in the ‘ON’ position, each section will function according to the corresponding
section switch (see the “3-Way Selectable Section Switches” below). Toggle the
master switch to the ‘OFF’ position to turn all boom or implement sections off.
Hold the master switch to the ‘OVERRIDE’ position to temporarily override any
sections controlled by an optionalAccuBoom system on.
3-Way Selectable Section Switches
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 or a Viper Pro controlling an
OmniSeed system are required to access section mapping. Contact a local
Raven dealer for additional information.
Each of the ten 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.
Product Control Switches
Each of the five product control switches may be toggled individually to one of the
three following positions:
• AUTO - The product rate will automatically be controlled by the product control
console or field computer based on the vehicle speed and programmed target
rate. Refer to the control console or field computer operation manual for
information on programming a target rate for controlled products.
• MAN - The product rate must be manually controlled by the operator. The
Raven control console or field computer will not adjust product rate based on
vehicle speed or section status.
• OFF - The programmed product is off. Corresponding control valves, injection
pumps or spinners will remain closed or will not run regardless of section or
master switch changes.

CAN Switch Box for OmniSeed Systems
The CAN Switch Box for use with OmniSeed
systems (P/N 063-3001-008) feature two
additional switches configured for controlling
seeder implement functions via a drill control
node connected to the OmniSeed CANbus
control system.
Note: Contact a local Raven dealer for
more information about drill control
nodes and other OmniSeed control
hardware options and features.
Openers Switch
Toggle the openers switch to raise (UP) or
lower (DN) the seed shanks during field
operations.
Note: If the packing pressure settings on the field computer are set to automatic
or manual control, the system will automatically shut off products and seed
rate control sections when the shanks are raised. If packing pressure
control is set to off, the openers switch will only raise and lower the shanks
without changing product or section status.
Packing Pressure Override Switch
The OmniSeed system allows an operator to set the target packing pressure and
an override pressure for use during a field operation.
When the Pressure Override switch is in the down position, the OmniSeed system
will control based upon the target packing pressure setting. Toggle the Pressure
Override to the up position to engage the override pressure setting.

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.
