Hook-lift trailer on a 32-channel module (Tramline Tec install)
A hook-lift trailer carries a long list of solenoids: the hook arm, the container locks, the rear door, the lift axle, the lights, and whatever the body on it needs. One 32-channel module on the chassis covers all of them from the tractor screen and the joystick, with more than half the module still free.

Retrofitting
Add relay outputs to a modern tractor (Fendt 724 install)
A Fendt 724 gained eight programmable relay outputs it didn't have from the factory, wired and named like any other AUX-N function on the terminal. Six of them land on a new 15-pin ISO 12098 socket at the rear, so any implement wired to match can plug in and get working controls straight away. The other two stay in the cab, and each implement gets its own preset, so swapping to the next one is a preset change on the terminal, not a rewire.
8 outputs · 1× 8-channel
Conveyor with automatic lift
Two outputs raise and lower the conveyor head. A flap sensor on one input raises it for you as the heap builds, on a button you arm from the armrest. Six channels spare and seven inputs still free.
2 outputs · 6 spare · 1× 8-channel · 1 sensor
Claas Disco butterfly mower
A Claas Disco butterfly combination on the back of the tractor. Each unit lifts and lowers on its own double-acting valve, so four solenoids run off four relay outputs and four channels stay free.
4 outputs · 4 spare · 1× 8-channel
Hydraulic fork stacker
A tractor-mounted fork stacker with a three-section directional valve: lift, tilt and fork spread. Six double-acting solenoids, one 8-channel module, and nothing changes on the valve block.
6 outputs · 2 spare · 1× 8-channel
Pöttinger forage wagon
A Pöttinger forage wagon with no ISOBUS of its own. Eight outputs cover the pickup, the boom, the rear door, the conveyor floor and the buzzer. Two sensors on the digital inputs take the floor over while you load and unload, on one button you arm from the armrest.
8 outputs · 1× 8-channel · 2 sensors
Not on the list?
A channel switches any 12 V or 24 V ON/OFF load up to 10 A. These are the ones people wire most.
Hydraulic solenoid valves
Front loader third function, diverter valves, implement valve blocks. Anything with a 12V ON/OFF solenoid coil.
Work lights & LED bars
Extra work lights, boom lights, cab lights. Switch them from the joystick. No new harness, no new switches.
Beacons, strobes & horns
Road beacons, warning strobes, rotating lights. Assign them to armrest buttons. No extra switches to mount.
Pneumatic valves
Spreader gates, seed shut-offs, air valve blocks. Same 12V control, same joystick buttons.
Electric actuators
Linear actuators and small motors. Anything 12/24V pulling under 10A.
Pumps & fans
Wash pumps, transfer pumps, oil or liquid cooling fans. Assign each one to a joystick button. No toggle switch to wire in.
Modernize an old implement. Run it from the cab.
Run a twenty-year-old seed drill from the tractor's own screen and AUX-N buttons. Wire its functions to relay channels, or have the whole build made for the machine.
