    摘要: In accordance with one or more embodiments herein, an agricultural machine (100) comprising sensors is provided. The agricultural machine (100) comprises a number of sensor programming devices (110), each comprising a unique set of sensor programming instructions, and is arranged to comprise one single corresponding sensor device (120) for each of the sensor programming devices (110). Each sensor programming device (110) is mounted in a programming position (115) adjacent a sensor position (125) for the corresponding sensor device (120), and each sensor device (120) is arranged to be mounted in the sensor position (125) and automatically receive the sensor programming instructions from the corresponding sensor programming device (110). This ensures that if a sensor device (120) is moved from one sensor position (125) to another sensor position (125), it automatically receives a different set of programming instructions.

    摘要: An agricultural implement (1) for soil working, comprising a frame (10, 101, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e), a number of ground-engaging tools (12, 13) carried by the frame, at least one rolling ground support (11a, 11b), the height position of which is adjustable relative to the frame, a height sensor (31) for contact-free measuring of the height position of the frame relative to a ground surface (G1), and a control unit (15), arranged to receive a signal from the height sensor (31) and to control the height position of the rolling ground support (11a, 11b). At least one of the tools (12, 13) is resilient relative to the frame (10, 101, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e). A tool position sensor (32) is arranged to measure the orientation of the tool (12, 13), and the control unit (15) is arranged to receive a signal from the tool position sensor (32) and to calculate a work depth for said tool (12, 13) based on the signal from the height sensor (31) and based on the signal from the tool position sensor (32). Furthermore, a method of determining the work depth of a soil-working agricultural implement is shown.
