SCS900 2.5 Coming Soon!
The new SCS900 v2.50 software continues the focus on the following key
application areas
- Road Stakeout and tighter integration with Terramodel Project file
capabilities
- UTS Total Station support
- Trimble Connected Community integration
- Advanced GPS positioning techniques
- Support for new and improved hardware and firmware components
- Closer integration with GCS900 software
Feature staking routines have been extended to allow
- The creation of custom surface segments through the selection of any pair of
feature nodes e.g. two edge of pavement nodes or two shoulder nodes, and to
extend the custom segment to infinity. The custom segment can be offset
vertically, the nodes can also be subgrade adjusted. This process allows the
user to create custom surfaces, especially useful in the creation of temporary
surfaces for the creation of box outs, large cuts or large fills.
- The creation of a custom feature through the intersection of two surface
segments, the first created from a single surface segment and the second from
any two nodes. The custom feature can be offset by fixed or random amounts. The
custom feature can incorporate vertical offsets and subgrade adjustments as
required to meet the application needs. For example the pavement segment could
be vertically offset by 0.15m and the sideslope perpendicularly offset by 0.2m
to allow for topsoil respread, the custom feature would be the intercept of the
projected pavement subgrade segment with the soil adjusted fill tie slope
segment.
- Dual surface segment selection is now possible from any two surface
segments, they can be split either side of the centerline or on the same side of
the centerline. The two surface segments can be projected to the offset (fixed
or random) stake location as required.
-
Catch point staking have been extended to allow
- The use of alternative side slope designs defined within the PRO file e.g.
Rock Cut, Depth of Cut alternates etc.
- The use of complex i.e. multisegment sideslope elements such as ditch and
s
 lope or slope and bench elements
- The creation of custom side slopes from any node and at any slope, defined as a %, Run:Rise or Rise:Run input
- The ability to disable or override the design side slope through the input
of a user defined side slope allowing the user to adjust side slopes in order to
meet right of way restrictions and unexpected existing ground
elevations
- Surface scanning productivity for stockpile measurement has been increased
by as much as 40% through a new "Air Shot Avoidance" algorhithm that
automatically detects areas where there is no surface, thus reducing the number
of points that need to be measured
- Surface profiling productivity has been increased through the ability to
define a polyline rather than a single line baseline, thereby allowing users to
measure more of a surface from a single setup than was previously possible
- A new Automated Point Measurement process allows the user to select a number
of points (control, stakeout, measured) and define a number of pointings on each
face and the frequency of measurement (hourly etc.). The software automatically
and repeatedly drives the total station to each point, measures multiple rounds
to each point and reports the results. Results, errors and failed measurements
as well as instrument status is reported on screen and optionally via email on
each round completion, instrument battery warning, failed connection warning or
failed measurement so that remote observers can control the process.
- Office
personnel can post information to the TCC for field crews
- Field crews can retrieve
the information directly from TCC
- For site
supervisors using the new Trimble Tablet they can also retrieve design files for
machines under their supervision, and create data cards for the machines when
design updates or changes are made.
TCC Synchronization coordinates with direct
PC synchronization through Trimble Office Synchronizer, through an additional
synchronization between the PC and the TCC filespace. This allows the field crew
to sync over WiFi, Cellular or direct cable connection whenever and wherever
they need to update or deposit information.
Travel time, down time, fuel costs
and rework is avoided through having up to date information available to anyone
at anytime, operational visibility is increased through centralized availability
of data.
GPS enhancements include the following
- Incorporation of the Static measurement mode within the site calibration and
measure control point functions. Users can now select the observation period or
required GPS precision for all types of measurement including site calibration
points, control point measurements and during stakeout operations
- Support for version 4.0 GPS firmware which includes the new CMRx correction
protocol transmitted by the base station to rovers that can now handle an
increased number of constellations, satellites and signals within the available
bandwidth. Version 4.0 also incorporates the enhanced R-Track RTK engine that
provides faster initialization, further enhanced performance in poor GPS areas
e.g. under tree canopy, as well as a new and significantly improved estimate of
precisions that allow the receiver to work in tough GPS locations with reduced
accuracy - e.g. for operations in tree canopy for setting clearance lines where
the highest accuracy is not achievable nor required for the application.The new
firmware also increases the range at which high accuracy GPS positioning can be
carried out, ideal for users operating over cellphone to an internet enabled
base station.
- Background Map has been renamed to Site Map
- Foreground Map has been renamed to Design Map

Trimble PCS400 Paving Control System Available Today!
The Trimble Heavy and Highway business area is
pleased to announce the new TrimbleŽ PCS400 Paving Control System, an
easy-to-use 2D paving system with the most accurate sensors in the business. The
system employs superior Trimble sensor technology which helps it reduce asphalt
usage by paving closer to the minimal required paving thickness. A smoother mat
is achieved using the superior averaging capability of the sonic tracers and
averaging beam. The Trimble PCS400 is used in production paving applications - highways, state roads, airports, large commercial
surfaces.
Using the Trimble PCS400 system can help paving
contractors:
- Achieve smoothness and accuracy up to the finish
grade via the averaging beam capability. Trimble's sonic averaging beam
technology can lay the finish at an accuracy of 3 millimeters (0.011 inches) to
meet even the tightest of smoothness specifications.
- Minimize use of expensive material through better
accuracy of the Trimble ST200 Sonic Tracer. The ST200 allows paving to a tighter
tolerance and saves money by minimizing the use of expensive
material.
- Reduce training time and operator mistakes through an advanced controller and simpler operation. The PCS400 has the most user-friendly
interface in the industry. The large display has an easy-to-understand layout
for measuring cross slope and height of material.
- Pave slopes accurately and consistently. The PCS400
handles 0.5% slopes accurately and consistently.
- Earn bonuses for rideability, a state DOT-defined
measure of smoothness - Get the job done faster and with excellent smoothness
results, meaning greater bonuses. Achieve road specifications with minimal cost
while maximizing your bonuses.
- Increase efficiency and productivity - The system can
easily monitor and control both sides of the screed from one of the large user
interfaces. Thus the PCS400 can free up an operator to perform other tasks and
allows the paver to run faster while maintaining the required quality
levels.
