What does PWM do?

Pulse-width modulation rapidly switches nozzle valves on and off. Adjusting how long each valve stays open controls its average flow, allowing application adjustments while maintaining the selected operating pressure within the system’s working range.

This helps manage spray output without relying solely on pressure changes.

Understanding PWM

Practical control features

  • PWM nozzle control

    Adjust nozzle output through pulsing, with equipment and nozzle selection suited to the intended application.

  • Turn compensation

    Adjust output across the boom to account for the different speeds of inner and outer nozzles during a turn.

  • ISOBUS integration

    Operate the IBX100 ISOBUS Flowtron controller through a compatible ISOBUS display. METLAN Distribution can help confirm display requirements and supported functions.

  • Spot-spraying integration

    Flowtron supports integration with compatible weed-detection systems. Required hardware, software and supported functions depend on the selected configuration.

  • Multi-rate control

    Manage up to 16 independent application rates across the boom, subject to the selected system configuration.

  • Additional machine functions

    Configure auxiliary outputs and hydraulic controls for supported sprayer functions. Discuss the requirements for your machine with METLAN Distribution.
