摘要：
In one embodiment, a pneumatic distribution system configured to distribute agranular product to an agricultural implement includes a first pressuresensor, a secondpressure sensor, and a controller. The first pressure sensor is configured tobe fluidlycoupled to a storage tank configured to store the granular product andpositionedupstream of the meter roller. The first pressure sensor is configured tooutput a firstsignal indicative of a first static pressure in the storage tank. The secondpressure sensoris configured to be fluidly coupled to a component of the pneumaticdistribution system,downstream of the meter roller. The second pressure sensor is configured tooutput asecond signal indicative of a second static pressure downstream of the meterroller. Thecontroller is communicatively coupled to the first pressure sensor and to thesecondpressure sensor. The controller is configured to determine a pressuredifferential,wherein the pressure differential is the difference between the first staticpressure and thesecond static pressure. The controller may also be configured to generate afirst warningwhen the first static pressure is below a threshold value and output the firstwarning to anoperator interface, generate a second warning when the pressure differentialis below adesired range and output the second warning to the operator interface, andgenerate athird warning when the pressure differential is above the desired range andoutput thethird warning to the operator interface.
