ISO11783

The J1939-based ISO standard 11783 describes CAN-based communication on open networks for mobile use in the agricultural sector. ISO11783 is a multimaster network based on CAN, whose protocol is harmonized with J1939. Important features for the user are:

• Manufacturer-spanning interoperability between implement and tractor.
• Use of a single input/output terminal (virtual terminal) for all implements.

The term ISOBUS describes a practical minimum scope of functionality for software and hardware from the ISO11783 standard which ECUs and networks must provide. This is necessary in order to be able to guarantee interoperability between different manufacturers of ECUs at any point in time. Since in the meantime the ISO11783 standard includes 13 documents that are in different stages of maturation, this allows early implementation of components.
