ISOBUS
Kverneland Group Mechatronics BV
The origin of ISOBUS
In the eighties Kverneland Group
Mechatronics applied for a patent on ISOBUS,
a protocol for data communication between
tractors and agricultural equipment.
The company released the patent in 2001,
whereupon ISOBUS grew to become the
international standard. Any farmer purchasing
agricultural machinery equipped with
electronics and an ISOBUS networking
provision, is now on a “Plug& Play” level with
all systems meeting that standard.
What is ISOBUS?
In 2001, farm machinery manufacturers
agreed to implement a common standard for
communication interfaces on tractors,
implements and farm management systems.
This common communication standard will
enable products from different manufacturers,
to easily communicate with one another and
eliminate the need for separate controls,
terminals and displays.
The common communication standard is
called ISO 11783 and is commonly referred to
as ISOBUS.
Basic components in ISOBUS system
• Tractor Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
• Virtual Terminal (e.g. IsoMatch Tellus)
• Implement Electronic Control Unit

Why ISOBUS?
The goal of a common standard is to
allow single point control of all
implements. All data collection from your
machine(s) is centralized and can be
easily transferred to your terminal (e.g.
IsoMatch Tellus).
Tractors will ultimately have just one
terminal instead of multiple devices to
control sprayers, spreaders and other
implements.
How you will benefit from ISOBUS
One and only one control console means:
• Lower costs: No need to purchase a
separate control device for various
implements.
• Easier operation: Learn how to use
just one terminal.
• Easier installation: Standardized
plugs, cables and software make the
concept of “plug-and-play” a reality.
Kverneland Group – ISOBUS Compatible
All ISOBUS implements manufactured
by Kverneland Group ensure fleet-wide
ISOBUS compatibility, also on
competitor Tractor Terminals, such as
CNH, Challenger, Müller-Elektronik/
Dammann, Fendt, John Deere and
Massey Ferguson.
At the same time - the universal
IsoMatch Tellus terminal ensures
compatibility with other ISOBUS
implement manufacturers.
Kverneland Group – The ISOBUS Company
With the development and availability of 29 ISOBUS machines, the
Kverneland Group profiles itself as the ISOBUS company for Agricultural
Equipment.
All initiatives in development in ISOBUS Technology are undertaken:
- to increase the customer benefits in relation to the application of ISOBUS
technology within ISOBUS machines.
- to improve the compatibility of ISOBUS products worldwide (plug & play).
