Content

• Introduction and short History• AEF and ISOBUS today; State of the Art• AEF Organization and development work• International bodies and cooperation• Conclusion


Why standards?

• PTO• Hitch• Aux Valves• Lights• ISOBUS

Farmers buy different brands of tractors andimplements

Next comes

Data……


Not just orange or blue…..Most of them are

equipped with ISOBUS


Early 2000s:• ISO-11783 commonly named ISOBUS• ISOBUS started slowly in 2001• Since 2005 rapid growth in ISOBUS

applications• Plugfests for testing, and DLG tests

• Many companies involved worldwide• Different interpretations of the standard (the

standard is extensive!)• Incompatibility issues Bad start

Need for structured Conformance Testing

ISOBUS market introduction


Typical ISOBUS system

Sold with wrong marketing promises, mainly due to lack of knowledge


• Lesson learnt: Implementation of complex standards require coordination and cooperation!

• Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation• Founded in October 2008 by• 7 major Agricultural Equipment manufacturers and 2 Associations

Founding of AEF

AEF Products

• Certification through AEF Conformance Test (Hardware and SW Functionalities)– AEF works with 5 recognized Test Labs– Certified Equipment will be stored in the AEF Database

• AEF ISOBUS Database• Organization and hosting of Plugfests

– Up to 250 participants testing equipment

• Web based Training Modules• AEF publishes Guidelines

– Implementation or Functional Safety guidelines


Conformance Test

• Highly automated test suite, for in-house use by engineering departments, as well as for the official certification at an AEF Test Lab

• To ensure the highest possible degree of reliability for customers

• To ensure that ISOBUS products actually support a specific functionality

• To ensure storing formal result in the AEF Database

• Conformance Test Video

Data Exchange - FMIS

• Data exchange is standardized in ISO11783, Parts 10 & 11 • Currently data is transported by USB stick

– No longer adequate and useful

• Direct wireless communication of task data is necessary• AEF is developing a new data transmission, called EFDI

– EFDI stands for Extended FMIS Data Interface• It replaces the function of the USB stick in the Machine / FMIS chain

– Communication channels could be• Mobile Communications• Bluetooth• Wireless LAN• ….


High Speed ISOBUS• Existing ISOBUS is CAN based

– Speed and bandwidth are at the limit

• Need for increasing bandwidth on the Bus, to ease and speed up data exchange– Ethernet technology in the scope

• This will lead to new possibilities;– The expansion of diagnostics – The support of electric drives– M2M communications– Connection of real-time video systems


Radio based communicationChallenges:• Machines operate in rural areas with low population

density• Low bandwidth and bad cellular coverage• 90% of the world population today is connected via cell

phone• Only 30% of the landscape is covered by cellular radio

and even less with 3G

General demand for standardization of wireless direct M2M communication

Conclusion

• Customers expect seamless connectivity– Between Tractors and Implements;– Between Data Management and equipment

• Industry cooperation is a must• Industry Standards needed for communication

and data exchange• AEF facilitates the practical implementation and

cooperation for this• AEF facilitates cooperation with other Industry

bodies and organizations
