Abstract
A plurality of different controllers on an agricultural machine are time synchronized. A first controller, identifies an action to be taken based upon a location of the agricultural machine and a speed of the agricultural machine, and also based on a geographic location of where the action is to be taken, and generates a timestamp indicating a time at which the action is to be taken. An action identifier and the timestamp are sent to an actuator controller that controls an actuator to take the action. The actuator controller identifies an actuator delay corresponding to the actuator and controls the actuator to take the action at a time identified in the timestamp based upon the actuator delay.
