ISO 11783-1:2017

Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry - Serial control and communications data network - Part 1: General standard for mobile data communication

ISO 11783-1:2017 as a whole specifies a serial data network for control and communications on forestry or agricultural tractors and mounted, semi-mounted, towed or self-propelled implements. Its purpose is to standardize the method and format of transfer of data between sensors, actuators, control elements, and information-storage and -display units, whether mounted on, or part of, the tractor or implement. It is intended to provide open system interconnect (OSI) for electronic systems used by agricultural and forestry equipment. This part of ISO 11783 gives a general overview of ISO 11783.

For ISO 11783 application developers, the content of this electronic database provides the current listing of the ISO 11783‑1 address assignments, identity assignments, and parameter definitions which have been assigned and which are officially registered by SAE J1939. This information is found in the online database on the ISOBUS website (http://www.isobus.net/).

It is intended to enable electronic control units (ECUs) to communicate with each other, providing a standardized system.

This document defines and describes the network's 250 kbit/s, twisted, non-shielded, quad-cable physical layer and an alternative cable and architecture named twisted pair physical layer (TPPL) based on a 250 kbit/s, un-shielded, twisted pair cable network layer which is fully backward compatible to twisted quad based machines and devices.

NOTE Where not differently specified, requirements are valid for both twisted quad and TPPL.
