What is the ISOBUS?

The ISOBUS technology is a milestone in the development of agriculture. In the course of farming, professionals often have to use machines and implements from different manufacturers. These different tools’ own, non-standardized solutions make it difficult to use the components commonly. For many implements a separate control unit (terminal) is required, which makes hard to exchange the devices for each session.

The agricultural equipment manufacturers have agreed on ISOBUS as a universal protocol, which is a standardized communication between the supporting implement, tool and the cab terminal. This allows you to control any manufacturer's ISOBUS-enabled device with a single universal terminal (ISOBUS UT).

The primary aim of the ISOBUS data-forwarding and operation is to standardize the communication between the tractors and the agricultural devices while providing entire compatibility for the data-operation of the different mobile systems and office softwares.

With this technology, ISOBUS provides a solution that makes it easier for users to control their machines and communicate, by enabling a single universal terminal (ISOBUS UT) to control any manufacturer's ISOBUS-enabled device. The effectiveness of ISOBUS is also demonstrated by many years of practical experience.

The protocol is based on the international standard ISO 11783 ("Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry - Serial control and communications data network").

ISOBUS devices

ISOBUS data loggers

Automatic and general data-logging! The LogBox can read, process and forward the data provided by the tractors and implements’ ISOBUS and different CANBUS.

The device can automatically recognize the used CAN protocols as the ISOBUS (ISO11783), SAE J1939 universal CANBUS, ODB or the CANopen protocols.

The device can read the implements’ on-work and application information via the ISOBUS and read the diagnostic information as fuel economy, engine usage or work hours of the tractor.

During the processing all the data are combined and extended by the GPS information provided by the integrated GPS receiver and forward the collection data on-the-fly to the servers for further data-processing.

These features are integrated into a very compact outdoor device, which can work without any problem in -20 to +60 C° in dusty or humid environment condition.

The advantages
