What is ISOBUS?
ISOBUS (ISO 11783) is a communication protocol used for agriculture and forestry machinery. Allowing easy integration with machines like tractors and implements (e.g. sprayers) across manufacturers.

The protocol is based on the Controller Area Network (CAN bus). It has been derived from the SAE J1939 protocol used in most heavy-duty vehicles (including most tractors).

ISOBUS is implemented in most modern tractors and implements (like balers, sprayers, fertilizers, seed drills) and enables standardised communication between them.

For example, a tractor may use J1939 internally. The Tractor ECU (TECU) then serves as a gateway to the tractor's ISOBUS network. Similarly, a sprayer may use e.g. J1939/CANopen internally, while an ISOBUS gateway facilitates the communication with the tractor. Assuming ISOBUS is properly implemented in both tractor and implement, the integration is seamless.

With certified ISOBUS solutions, end users avoid cluttering cabins with implement-specific terminals - and instead control any implement from a single universal terminal.
