OptiControl, an digital control system for entire
machine (harvesters, forwarders), developed by
Ponsse.
OptiControl is based on modular computer system,
where computers are connected to ARCNET -
network.
All the important measurements and controls are
combined to OptiControl system.
Intelligence of machine is divided in those
places where intelligence is needed
