The input interface of the CAN controller C4 includes, as input devices, an accelerator lever sensor 59a for detecting the operation position of the accelerator lever 59, a vehicle height adjustment lever 62, a vehicle height control changeover switch 63, a tilt setting device 64, a depth of handling. Automatic control switch 130, automatic harvesting lifting / lowering switch 131, automatic harvesting clutch switch 132 for automatically transmitting power to the pre-harvest processing device 4 when the pre-harvest processing device 4 is lowered to a predetermined cutting height, harvesting switch 134, threshing Switch 135, sorting adjustment dial 136 for adjusting the grain sorting state in the sorting device, auto lift switch 137, auto set switch 138, cutting lift lever 139, handling depth adjusting lever 140, auxiliary transmission lever 66, traveling machine body Reverse switch 141 for moving 1 backward, Switch 142 and the like are connected (see FIG. 12).

  The output interface of the CAN controller C4 includes, as an output system device, a vehicle height control changeover switch lamp 143 that is turned on when the vehicle height control is switched to automatic operation, and a handle that is turned on when the depth control is switched to automatic operation. An automatic depth control switch lamp 144 or the like is connected (see FIG. 12).

  The input interface of the CAN controller C5 built in the case 60a has a first setting switch 71 used for moving the cursor on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b upward, and a display used for moving the screen downward. A changeover switch 72, a buzzer stop switch 73, a second setting switch 74, and the like used for switching the screen display of the liquid crystal panel 60b are connected (see FIG. 13).

  The output interface of the CAN controller C5 is connected with a liquid crystal panel 60b as display means, a work lamp 70 that is turned on when the power switch 142 is turned on and off for the entire combiner, and the like (FIG. 13).

  Next, the mode switching control by the CAN controller C5 will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, the combine mode (operation state) includes an initial mode M1, a normal mode M2 for running on the road and various operations, an alarm display mode M3 for notifying an abnormal state of each part of the combine, a detection error, and the like. An error display mode M5 for notifying the content of the error and an environment setting mode M4 for performing settings such as automatic travel control are roughly divided into five modes, and each mode is processed by the control means.

  The normal mode M2 includes a non-work mode M2a for running on the road and a work mode M2b for cutting and threshing, and a maintenance mode M6 that can be shifted only from the non-work mode M2a is also set (FIG. 15). reference).

  First, when the power switch 142 is turned on and operated, the initial mode M1 is activated and the initial image information shown in FIG. 16 is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b.

  Next, when a preset time (10 seconds in this embodiment) elapses in the EEPROM 78 of the CAN controller C5, or when the rotation speed of the engine 15 exceeds a preset rotation speed (240 rpm in this embodiment). Then, the mode automatically shifts to the non-working mode M2a in the normal mode M2 (see FIG. 15), and the screen display of the liquid crystal panel 60b changes from the initial image information to image information such as the engine speed and the remaining amount of fuel ( Transition to image data corresponding to the non-working mode M2a (see FIG. 17).

  In this case, on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b, as image information of the non-working mode M2a, a speedometer 85 indicating the traveling speed (vehicle speed) of the traveling machine body 1, a substantially L-shaped rotational speed graph 86 indicating the engine rotational speed, A tank monitor 87 that informs the amount of fir in the grain tank 12, a fuel meter 88 that informs the remaining amount of fuel, a sub-transmission monitor 89 that informs the setting state of the sub-transmission lever 66, and the speed setting state of the pre-cutting processing device 4 A cutting speed change monitor 90 for notifying and an integrated value monitor 91 for indicating a value obtained by integrating the operating time of the engine 15 and the like are displayed.

  During execution of the initial mode M1, when the threshing clutch for power transmission to the threshing device 3 is in the engaged state, that is, when the threshing switch 135 is in the on state, the operation proceeds to the alarm display mode M3 and the alarm buzzer 129 And the image information on the clogged cylinder is switched and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b (see FIG. 19A). This is to prevent the threshing switch 135 from being started while being in the on state.

  Both pieces of image information shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B are automatically scrolled and displayed in the vertical direction of the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. In this case, when the threshing switch 135 is turned off, the alarm buzzer 129 stops operating and shifts to the non-work mode M2a, and the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b transitions to the screen shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the threshing switch 135 is turned on and operated during the execution of the non-work mode M2a in the normal mode M2, the operation mode M2b is entered, and the display of the screen showing the image information in FIG. And image information such as the remaining amount of fuel (image data corresponding to the work mode M2b) (see FIG. 18). On the other hand, when the threshing switch 135 is turned off and operated, the mode shifts to the non-work mode M2a, and the image information of the non-work mode M2a is switched and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b.

  As shown in FIG. 14, during the execution of the normal mode M2 (non-work mode M2a or work mode M2b), for example, abnormal control data out of the control range allowed in each output system external device is transferred to the CAN controller unit C5. Or when the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed while the CAN controller unit C5 is receiving the abnormality control data, the screen shifts to the alarm display mode M3 and the screen shown in FIG. 17 or FIG. Are screens (FIGS. 19A, 19B, 20A, and 20A) showing image information for notifying the abnormal state of each output system external device that is the source of the abnormal control data, for example, clogging of the handling cylinder, abnormal hydraulic pressure, and the like. ) (See (b)). When various types of abnormal data occur, the work lamp 70 (see FIG. 7) provided in the case 60a of the liquid crystal display device 60 is turned on.

  When a plurality of abnormality control data are generated, image information about the abnormal state of the output external device corresponding to each abnormality control data is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b in order by predetermined time.

  Note that not only both image information shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B but also both image information shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B are automatically scrolled and displayed in the vertical direction of the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. Is done.

  Then, when the abnormal state of each output system external device is canceled, or when the abnormality related to the engine such as an abnormality in hydraulic pressure has occurred, the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed once to change from the alarm display mode M3 to the normal mode M2. The screen shown in FIG. 19 (a) (b) or FIG. 20 (a) (b) transitions to the screen shown in FIG. 17 or FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14, when various errors such as detection errors of sensors and setting devices and operation errors of various actuators occur during execution of the normal mode M2 (non-work mode M2a or work mode M2b). Then, a character indicator 92 of “error” blinks on the right side portion of the auxiliary transmission monitor 89 on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b (see FIG. 21). By blinking the error indicator 92, the operator can quickly recognize that an error has occurred on the screen showing the image information of the normal mode M2.

  In this state, when the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed down for an appropriate time (in this embodiment, 5 seconds) or longer, the display shifts to the error display mode M5, and the screen display of the liquid crystal panel 60b shows the content of the error that has occurred at this time. Transition to information (see FIGS. 22A to 22D).

  Then, when the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed once again or the error is resolved, the error display mode M5 returns to the normal mode M2, and the image information of the normal mode M2 is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. The display is switched.

  When the second setting switch 74 is pressed once during the execution of the normal mode M2, the screen shifts to the environment setting mode M4, and the display on the liquid crystal panel 60b changes from the image information of the normal mode M2 to the environment setting mode M4. Transition to image information (see FIG. 23). When the second setting switch 74 is pressed again, the mode is changed to the normal mode M2, and the display on the liquid crystal panel 60b returns from the image information of the environment setting mode M4 to the image information of the normal mode M2. In this embodiment, since the frequency of executing the environment setting mode M4 is low, the second setting switch 74 is provided separately from the buzzer stop switch 73 so that the environment setting mode M4 is not inadvertently operated. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the controller performs processing to shift to the maintenance mode M6 by performing a specific operation that is not normally performed during the execution of the non-work mode M2a. For example, when the display changeover switch 72 and the buzzer stop switch 73 provided on the case 60a are simultaneously operated for an appropriate time (in this embodiment, 5 seconds) or more, the operation shifts to the maintenance mode M6 as the alarm buzzer 129 sounds. The image information of the selection menu in the maintenance mode M6 (hereinafter referred to as selection menu information) is switched and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b (see FIG. 24). The alarm buzzer 129 stops ringing when the screen is switched. However, the operation to enter the maintenance mode is not limited, and may be an operation that is not normally performed such as pressing any two or three switches simultaneously for a predetermined time or more.

  In this maintenance mode M6, failure diagnosis of each input / output system device and setting of the control range of each device can be changed. Therefore, the maintenance mode M6 is not shifted to the maintenance mode M6 unless the above-described complicated procedure is performed. Prevents setting changes due to incorrect operation.

  When the maintenance mode M6 is entered, a selection screen (selection menu) for a plurality of setting items is further displayed. In this embodiment, the following three modes are displayed on the selection screen. Initial setting mode for performing various settings such as cutting height position when various sensors and CAN controllers C1 to C5 are replaced, a checker mode as a failure diagnosis mode for diagnosing the presence / absence of failures in input / output devices, and past maintenance information There are three modes of the serviceman mode in which the stored contents of the EEPROM 78 of each of the CAN controllers C1 to C5 are rewritten.

  The screen of FIG. 24 showing the selection menu information displays character information 161 to 163 of “initial setting mode”, “checker mode”, and “serviceman mode”, and a cursor 160 indicating the character information to be selected. Yes.

  In addition, operation instruction indicators 165, 166, 167, and 168 indicating the functions of the switches 71, 72, 73, and 74 as input means are displayed at the four corners of the screen.

  Each of these operation instruction indicators 165 to 168 is a simplified representation of the operation content when the switches 71 to 74 corresponding to the display positions are pressed, with characters, figures, and the like. For example, referring to the screen of FIG. 24, when the first setting switch 71 corresponding to the operation instruction mark 165 (upward arrow) in the upper left corner of the screen is pressed, the cursor 160 moves upward in the screen, and the lower left corner is displayed. When the display changeover switch 72 corresponding to the operation instruction mark 166 (downward arrow) is pressed, the cursor 160 moves downward in the screen. Further, when the second setting switch 74 corresponding to the operation instruction indicator 168 (the character “RETURN”) in the upper right corner of the screen is pressed, the display on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b returns to the selection menu information.

  The character information 161 to 163 are displayed in reverse in a state indicated by the cursor 160. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 24, the buzzer stop switch 73 corresponding to the operation instruction indicator 167 (character “decision”) at the lower right corner of the screen in the state where the character information 162 of “initial setting mode” is highlighted. When is pressed, the initial setting mode is selected (determined), and the display of the screen showing the selected menu information transitions to image information of the initial setting menu (hereinafter referred to as initial setting menu information) (FIG. 25A ) (B)).

  The initial setting menu information includes character information 171 to 178, that is, “cutting top position” (171), “cutting bottom position” (172), “handling depth shallow handling position” (173), “handling” “Deep shallow handling position” (174), “Auger storage position” (175), “Vehicle height uppermost position” (176), “Vehicle height lowermost position” (177), and “History deletion” (178) The list of character information groups 171 to 182 is displayed on one screen or divided into two or more according to the number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b (this book). In the embodiment, it is divided into two (see FIG. 25).

  In addition, the switching display of a plurality of menu information on the screen (see FIG. 25) is performed by pressing the first setting switch 71 and moving the cursor 160 upward on the screen in the same manner as the switch operation in the selection menu information described above. This is executed by depressing the buzzer stop switch 73 in a state where the character information 169 of “to next (1/2) screen” indicated by the cursor 160 is highlighted.

  Then, each initial setting after selection is operated like an interactive form between the operator, the operating means, and the display means, such as the initial setting method is displayed and the confirmation operation is performed to display the next operating method. The initial setting can be made. Furthermore, necessary conditions are checked at each stage of the initial setting operation. When the controller (control means) determines that the conditions are not satisfied, an operation for satisfying the conditions is displayed on the display screen. A process of displaying an instruction screen for an operation procedure that prompts the user to satisfy is performed. In addition, a description of the displayed operation can be displayed by operating a specific switch (a switch other than the switch to be operated). This description may be a character or a graphic.

  For example, in the case of the initial setting of the auger storage position, as shown in FIG. 25A, when the switch 74 is pressed with the character information of “auger storage position” highlighted, the auger storage position is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. The storage position initial setting image information is switched and displayed (see FIG. 26).

  In this case, character information 180 of “Store the auger in the rest position and remove the auger motor from the bracket so that the motor can be rotated” is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b, and the initial setting of the auger storage position is performed. An operator is shown an operation procedure to do this.

  On the screen, only the operation instruction indicator 167 (characters of “next”) for the switch 74 among the operation instruction indicators 165 to 168 is displayed, and after performing the operation according to the operation procedure displayed on the screen, When the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed, the screen display of the liquid crystal panel 60b is switched (see FIG. 27).

  Subsequently, the screen displays the character information 181 of “When the buzzer stop switch is pressed, the auger motor rotates and stops at the stowed position. Install the motor when it stops”, and the next operation procedure is the operator. Shown in

  When the buzzer stop switch 73 corresponding to the operation instruction indicator 167 (character “next”) is pressed according to the operation procedure displayed on the screen, the screen display of the liquid crystal panel 60 b is switched and the characters “motor rotating” are displayed. Information 182 is displayed (see FIG. 28).

  That is, when the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed, the CAN controller C5 transmits control data via the CAN communication bus 76. When this control data is received by the CAN controller C2 to which the turning angle sensor 81 is connected, the CAN controller C2 rotates the auger motor 29 to the storage position in order to start the initial setting operation.

  When the CAN controller C5 receives the control data transmitted by the CAN controller C2 based on the initial setting operation via the CAN communication bus 76, the CAN controller C5 recognizes that the auger motor 29 has started driving. The character information 182 of “motor rotating” is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b to indicate that the auger motor 29 is being driven.

  When the auger motor 29 reaches the storage position, the CAN controller C2 stops driving the auger motor 29 and sounds the alarm buzzer 129. At the same time, when the CAN controller C5 receives control data from the CAN controller C2 via the CAN communication bus 76, the CAN controller C5 recognizes that the driving of the auger motor 29 is stopped, and displays on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b “ Character information 183 of “Motor storage position stop” is displayed to indicate that the auger motor 29 has stopped at the storage position (see FIG. 29).

  On the screen, only the operation instruction indicator 167 (the character “next”) for the buzzer stop switch 73 among the operation instruction indicators 165 to 168 is displayed. When the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed, the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b is displayed. The display is switched and the next operation procedure is displayed. This operation procedure is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b as character information 184 of "Please push the auger operation switch downward when the auger motor is installed. The alarm buzzer stops." (See Figure 30)

  When the auger operation switch is operated downward according to the operation procedure displayed on the screen, the CAN controller C2 stops the alarm buzzer 129 and the value of the turning angle sensor 81 corresponding to the position of the auger motor 29 at this time. Is stored in the EEPROM 78 as sensor adjustment information, and the result is transmitted as control data to the CAN controller C5 via the CAN communication bus 76. When the CAN controller C5 receives this control data, the screen is switched and the initial setting result information is displayed. That is, the character information 185 of “normal end” is displayed when the initial setting is normally performed, and the character information 186 of “abnormal end” is displayed when the initial setting is not normally performed. (See FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (b)). Thus, the initial setting is completed. In this way, the initial setting result is displayed on the display means so that the operator can recognize it.

  At this time, only the operation instruction indicator 167 (the character “next”) for the buzzer stop switch 73 is displayed on the screen, and when the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed, the screen display of the liquid crystal panel 60b is initially displayed. Return to the setting menu information (see FIG. 25).

Next, a specific example in the case where the initial setting of the vehicle height lowermost position is performed will be described.
When the buzzer stop switch 73 corresponding to the operation instruction indicator 167 (character “decision”) is pressed in a state where the character information 177 of “vehicle height lowest position” is highlighted in the initial setting menu information, the vehicle height maximum This means that the initial setting of the lower position has been selected (determined), and the image information of the initial setting for the lowest vehicle height is switched and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b (see FIG. 32).

  On the above screen, the text information 188 is displayed, “Please rate the engine and keep pressing the vehicle height adjustment switch downward. When setting is complete, the buzzer will sound.” An operation procedure for performing the setting is shown.

  In addition, only the operation instruction indicator 167 for the buzzer stop switch 73 among the operation instruction indicators 165 to 168 is displayed on the screen, and when the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed, the screen display of the liquid crystal panel 60b is initialized menu information. Return to (see FIG. 25).

  Then, operating according to the operation procedure displayed on the screen, and satisfying the conditions necessary for carrying out the initial setting, when the vehicle height adjustment switch 62 is continuously pushed down, the vehicle height starts to decrease, Initial setting operation is started. When the vehicle height is at the predetermined position and reaches the lowest position, the descent of the vehicle height stops, and the value of the vehicle height sensor 41 at this time is stored in the EEPROM 78 as sensor adjustment information. When the initial setting operation is thus completed, the alarm buzzer 129 sounds and the screen is switched to display character information 185 and 186 indicating the result of the initial setting. That is, when the initial setting is normally performed, the character information 185 of “normal end” is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. When the initial setting is not normally performed, the character information 186 of “abnormal end” is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. (See FIG. 33). Thus, the initial setting result is displayed on the display means.

  On the other hand, when the vehicle height adjustment switch 62 is pressed according to the character information 188 displayed on the screen (see FIG. 32), if the conditions necessary for performing the initial setting are not satisfied, the screen is displayed. The operation procedure for switching and satisfying the condition is shown. For example, the character information 191 of “Please rate the engine”, the character information 192 of “Move the tilt adjustment dial horizontally”, “Move the machine to a horizontal position. Is displayed on the screen as the character information 193 (see FIGS. 34A to 34B). At the same time, when it is necessary to satisfy a plurality of conditions, character information indicating each operation procedure is sequentially switched and displayed on the screen. Then, the operation is performed according to the operation procedure displayed on the screen, and the initial setting is started by satisfying the conditions necessary for performing the initial setting.

  It is also possible to perform control so that the initial setting is automatically performed sequentially. When this initial setting is executed, a visual alarm such as a buzzer sound or a lamp or display is notified to the operator or the surrounding people. I am doing so. In this case, when the desired initial setting is selected from the initial setting menu information, for example, the character information 177 of “the lowest position of the vehicle height” is selected, the character information 194 for prompting a safety confirmation of the surroundings and warning is displayed on the screen (FIG. 35). Then, when the display changeover switch 72 corresponding to the operation instruction mark 166 (character of “confirmation”) is pressed, the surrounding safety is confirmed, the alarm buzzer 129 sounds and the initial setting operation is automatically started. The This alarm buzzer 129 continues to sound during the initial setting operation. When the initial setting operation is completed, the alarm buzzer 129 is stopped and the screen is switched, and character information 185 and 186 indicating the result of the initial setting is displayed, as in the case of manual execution (see FIG. 33). ).

  In other words, the initial setting, which is a complicated operation by manual operation, can be automatically performed, so that the burden on the operator can be reduced. Furthermore, even an operator who is not very familiar with the structure of the work machine can easily perform the initial setting. Further, by continuously sounding the alarm buzzer 129 during the initial setting operation, it is possible to alert the operator and the surrounding area to ensure safety.

  If the control is performed as described above, the initial setting can be performed if the operations of the switches 71 to 74 are executed in accordance with the display on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. Therefore, the initial setting of each device is surely performed with a simple operation. be able to. Therefore, there is no problem that the initial setting cannot be performed without the instruction manual describing the operation procedure of the initial setting.

  Even if the conditions necessary for the initial settings are not met, it is possible to satisfy the conditions by executing the operation according to the display on the screen of the liquid crystal panel. The problem that the setting cannot be made does not occur, and the initial setting can be surely performed.

  Furthermore, since the character information indicating the result can be switched and displayed after completion of the initial setting, the operator can easily grasp from the contents of the result information whether or not the selected initial setting has been normally performed.

  In addition, at the time of shipment, maintenance, etc., the CAN controllers C1 to C4 identify whether or not the initial setting has been performed based on the sensor adjustment information that has been initially set and stored in the EEPROM 78 as described above. It is configured to be able to.

  When the controller serving as each control means is replaced or shipped, the EEPROM 78 serving as a nonvolatile memory stores a predetermined value that is not used after maintenance or shipment. For example, FFFF in hexadecimal is stored in an 8-byte memory. Therefore, the controller can determine that the initial setting has not been performed when this value is read.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, when the mode is shifted from the initial mode to the normal mode, the sensor adjustment information is not stored in the EEPROM 78, and when it is identified that the initial setting is not performed, it is input from the sensor or the like. The controller determines whether the detected value is within the set range. If the detected value is within the normal range, character information 195 and 196 for prompting the initial setting is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b (FIG. 36A). (See (b)). If the detected value is out of range, the input device is specified and the alarm display mode is set. If it is within the range, the character information 195 that only prompts the initial setting is displayed on the screen (see FIG. 36A). Alternatively, the character information 196 for allowing the initial setting to be continuously executed is displayed on the screen (see FIG. 36B).

  In the former case, the initial setting setting mode is entered from the maintenance mode. When the character information 196 that allows the latter initial setting to be continuously executed is displayed on the screen, the character information 196 includes “Yes / No” as an option for determining whether or not to perform the initial setting. When the initial setting is performed, the character “Yes / No” is displayed by pressing the display changeover switch 72 corresponding to the operation instruction indicator 166 (character “left”). When “Yes” is highlighted in the information and the buzzer stop switch 73 corresponding to the operation instruction indicator 167 (the character “decision”) is pressed in this state, it is determined that the initial setting is to be performed. Transition from mode to initial setting mode. Similarly, when “No” is selected, the normal mode is set and the image information of the non-work mode M2a is switched and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b.

  Here, when shifting from the normal mode to the initial setting mode, a display prompting a specific operation that is not normally operated is displayed on the screen (display means). That is, in order to display the initial setting menu information (see FIG. 25 (a)) on the screen, a manual operation that satisfies a certain condition is required, so that the transition to the initial setting mode is complicated, and the operator Prevents inadvertent initial setting. As a manual operation that satisfies a certain condition, for example, a password is input. In this case, when “Yes” is selected in the screen of FIG. 36B, the screen display changes to image information for inputting the password. (See FIG. 37).

  That is, the screen displays character information 197 including selectable characters of “Return to 12345”, which are constituent elements of the password, together with operation instruction indicators 165 to 168. Here, by pressing the first setting switch 71 and the display changeover switch 72 corresponding to the operation instruction signs 165 and 166 (characters “right” and “left”), any number is selected from the character information 197. When the buzzer stop switch 73 corresponding to the operation instruction mark 167 (character “decision”) is pressed in this state, this number is determined and entered in the password field 198.

  If an incorrect number is entered, “Return” is highlighted in the character information 197 and the buzzer stop switch 73 is pressed, so that the numbers entered in the password field 198 are canceled in order from the right side. .

  Similarly, any number of character information 197 is selected and sequentially entered in the password field 198, and the password is determined by pressing the buzzer stop switch 73 in a state where the password has been entered. If this password has been entered correctly, the initial setting menu information (see FIG. 25A) is displayed on the screen. In this way, it is possible to shift to the initial setting mode and perform the initial setting.

  On the other hand, if the password has not been entered correctly, the password field 198 returns to the unentered state as shown in the screen of FIG. 37, and the password must be entered again.

  Note that manual operation that satisfies a certain condition required when shifting to the initial setting mode is not limited to inputting a password, but after pressing the buzzer stop switch 73 and selecting to perform initial setting. Such operations as pressing the display changeover switch 72 and the buzzer stop switch 73 at the same time for an appropriate time, and pressing the display changeover switch 72 for an appropriate time from the time when the power switch 142 is turned on are not performed in a normal operation. Any operation is acceptable.

  Also, if a detection error occurs when the detection value input from the sensor or the like is not in the normal range, it is a failure and needs to be replaced (even if the CAN controllers C1 to C4 are replaced after maintenance). The same). After the replacement, when the detection value input from the sensor or the like returns to the normal range, the controller determines that the replacement has been performed, and performs initial setting for the sensor on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. The prompting character information 199 is displayed (see FIG. 38).

  The character information 199 displayed on the screen includes character information “execute / not execute” as an option for determining whether or not to perform the initial setting. Then, by depressing the display changeover switch 72 corresponding to the operation instruction mark 166 (character “left”), “Execute” is highlighted, and in this state, the operation instruction mark 167 (character “decision”) is displayed. By pressing the corresponding buzzer stop switch 73, it is determined that the initial setting is to be performed, and the mode is shifted to the initial setting mode. At this time, in order to display the initial setting menu information on the screen, a manual operation that satisfies a certain condition as described above is required. In the same way, when “not implemented” is selected, the normal mode is set and the image information of the non-work mode M2a is switched and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b.

  In this way, when initial settings are not performed at the time of shipment or maintenance, information that prompts implementation of the initial settings can be displayed on the screen and alerted as necessary. It is possible to prevent the operator from forgetting to perform the initial setting. As a result, it is possible to prevent problems such as start-up failure and operation failure due to the initial setting not being performed during farm work.

  Further, when shifting to the initial setting mode in order to perform the initial setting as described above, conventionally, all the CAN controllers are in a state in which each input / output device is not controlled. Therefore, for example, when the threshing clutch is engaged and the initial setting is performed by shifting to the initial setting mode, the emergency stop control of the engine or the like does not work even if the cutter cover covering the waste cutter is opened. There was a thing.

  Therefore, when the initial setting mode is executed, the CAN controllers C1 to C5 other than the CAN controllers C1 to C5 related to the initial setting control the input / output devices. Therefore, even when the initial setting mode is executed, control such as manual operation and emergency stop can be executed in the same manner as when executing the other modes, so that necessary operations can be performed and safety is improved.

  Each of the CAN controllers C1 to C5 has an EEPROM 78 serving as a nonvolatile memory, and each EEPROM 78 is connected to other CAN controllers C1 to C5 in addition to information on devices connected to the controller. Device information is also stored. In other words, the EEPROM 78 of each of the CAN controllers C1 to C5 has information for storing information such as an initial setting value to be saved even when the power is turned off, a time of an hour meter, and a history when an abnormality occurs. Although it is stored, information that is important at the time of rewriting by that controller is also stored in the information of other controllers.

  Thus, even if any of the CAN controllers C1 to C5 is replaced, the necessary information is transferred from the EEPROM 78 of the other CAN controllers C1 to C5 to the newly replaced CAN controller C1 to C5. The data is transmitted via the communication bus 76, stored, and the information can be restored. Therefore, since the adjustment information of the sensor can be easily restored, it is not necessary to perform initial setting again and the maintainability is improved. When all the CAN controllers C1 to C5 are replaced, the character information that prompts the initial setting is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b.

  Further, even when an abnormality occurs in any of the EEPROMs 78 of the CAN controllers C1 to C5, the information stored in the EEPROM 78 can be restored using normal information stored in the EEPROM of another CAN controller. Therefore, the reliability can be improved.

  Furthermore, the practicality is improved by limiting the information stored in the EEPROM 78 of all CAN controllers C1 to C5 to only the information relating to the adjustment information of the sensor excluding the information such as the hour meter. Can do.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be widely applied to agricultural work vehicles such as tractors and other work vehicles.

  The communication bus (line) in the present invention may use not only a CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol but also a LAN (Local Area Network) protocol. The present invention can be applied not only to the above-mentioned CAN communication environment but also to a control system in a LAN communication environment. However, data communication using the CAN communication protocol facilitates exchange of control data between the controllers. In addition, it is possible to smoothly detect a communication error state and perform error processing during that time. Note that there may be a plurality of controllers as control means, or a single controller.

  The input means in the present invention is not limited to the four switches 71 to 74 described above, but may be a touch panel provided on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 60b. In this case, the touch panel is connected to the input interface of the CAN controller C5 via the flexible wiring board, and when the operator presses a portion corresponding to the operation instruction signs 165 to 168 on the surface of the touch panel with a finger, a pen, The touch panel detects this position and transmits the pressed position information to the CAN controller C5 via the flexible wiring board, and the contents of the operation instruction signs 165 to 168 corresponding to the pressed position (for example, the cursor is moved upward on the screen). Etc.) may be executed.

  Furthermore, the display device of the present invention is not limited to the liquid crystal display device 60 using the liquid crystal panel 60b, and may be a CRT display, an EL display, or the like.
