@Bob lincs will probably have run a few at some point I would think?
And could be wrong but I think @towns specialises in RDS kit
I’m running an iso-bus Artemis which is very good.

We used lite on our avadex applicator and it was good . If your thinking of using it on your machine your building I would go for twin motor full Artimis especially if you have four metering units .

Ahhh
Bit that concerns me is 4 sections. And area metering...

I asked a similar question a few years ago before fitting it to my front hopper.

It's good, does everything I need it to and a lot cheaper then full Artemis, so long as you can get away with 1 drive motor it's fine, if you need more you have to go up to the full version.

No idea what you are building? (Always interested in a build though ) but we run lemken drills with 4 metering units all running of one motor/shaft and they just close the shutter to stop seed entering the metering wheel very simple design small double acting ram which is supplied with same oil as the hyd fan and an electric control valve, much simpler than stopping a motor?? Area meter also takes into account the shut off section but no idea how that works tbh??

I have one on my drill but it’s only 1 section (3mtr) works well enough

Building an avadex spreader 4 metering jnits stop start for section control
It's tying that to the area clock if that makes sense

Should be fine for one motor

 

[Bob lincs]

The new Artimis can run multiple motors .

For those followers of this thread there is an RDS Artemis lite system on a rough looking accord tank that has been on Fert in York sale?
