Content
Tractors and implements need to be connected and powered not only mechanically, but also electronically; in order to communicate with each other. ISO 11783 is the current standard series, accepted worldwide for this purpose. The standard is also known by its market name, ISOBUS. In this course, we shall go through ISOBUS technology in detail,starting from pins, bits, and bytes and continueall the way through messaging, signals, protocol stack and the functions of a tractor-implement system. In the moduleyou will learn about CAN bus technology, the history of ISOBUS, bus addressing, virtual terminal communication, task controller communication, CAN based GPS data transmission and other functionality-hands on. The module consists of lectures (2h per week) and closely connected exercises (2h per week). The module can only be completed as 5 ECTS; written exam in the end of the module. Success in exam requires active participation in lectures and exercises.
