Abstract
In one aspect, a system for monitoring fluid conduit connections of an agricultural machine may include a first fluid conduit having a first coupling device, a second fluid conduit having a second coupling device, and a third fluid conduit having a third coupling device. Each of the second and third coupling devices may, in turn, include an identification device. A controller of the system may be configured to receive an input from the identification device of one of the second fluid conduit or the third fluid conduit when the respective second coupling device or third coupling device is coupled to the first coupling device. Furthermore, the controller may be configured to identify the one of the second fluid conduit or the third fluid conduit as a connected fluid conduit based on the received input.
