TECHnote Plug-and-play for the world of agriculture Erich Jaeger offers ISOBUS-compliant connectors for precision farming What is ISOBUS? The ISOBUS standard (defined in the ISO 11783 standard series) has ensured manufacturer-independent compatibility between tractors, accessory equipment, and agricultural software on office PCs since 1991. Founded in 2008, the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) is actively promoting this topic in order to further develop this common international standard at all levels—and The ISOBUS standard unifies communication between tractors, accessory equipment to optimize communication and data (implements), and agricultural (office) software. exchange. It brings together different manufacturers of agricultural machinery and components. The compatibility of new components is checked, their conformity tested, and new standards are thus defined. These concern all relevant components of the supply and communication chain—from common interfaces and transmission protocols to uniform hardware. The AEF thus defines the basis for the products’ certification according to the ISOBUS standard and enables compatibility between different manufacturers’ components. ERICH JAEGER is an AEF member. As part of a subgroup that focuses on developing and standardizing connectors, it works to consistently push ISOBUS development along. The ISOBUS Breakaway Connector (IBBC) for smooth connections ISOBUS is tucked away in many components and various functions. These can therefore also be used across devices. And this is the only way the desired plug-and-play works. With its plug sets, components, and accessories, Erich Jaeger covers the entire spectrum of the ISOBUS Breakaway Connector (IBBC). In developing the connector system, the company was guided by the specifications of several well-known agricultural machinery manufacturers. The system thus meets very high requirements in terms of temperature resistance (from -40°C to +95°C), environmental and medium-based influences, electromagnetic interference, and short-circuit protection. This guarantees functionality even in extreme situations. All components comply with the ISO 11783-2 standard. The various model variants include, for example, active and passive sockets as described in the standard. Erich Jaeger GmbH + Co. KG Strassheimer Strasse 10 11/2019 [email protected] www.erich-jae

TECHnote Plug-and-play for the world of agriculture Erich Jaeger offers ISOBUS-compliant connectors for precision farming Terminator circuit supply for master sockets In accordance with ISO 11783-2, active (master) is usually installed at the rear of the tractor. The socket has an internal connection between ECU_ PWR (ECU = Electronic Control Unit) and TBC_PWR (TBC = Terminating Bias Circuit), and thus ensures the terminator circuit’s electrical supply. It supplies the terminator circuit of all sockets in the bus segment. With this configuration, no more than one master socket may be installed...

TECHnote Plug-and-play for the world of agriculture Erich Jaeger offers ISOBUS-compliant connectors for precision farming Recent developments: the TPPL network As an AEF member, Erich Jaeger is also actively involved in further developing the ISOBUS standard. The development of the socket for twisted-pair physical layer (TPPL) as described in the current edition of ISO 11783-2:2019 is an example of what’s currently in the pipeline. The TPPL connector type is a cost-effective solution for smaller tractors and implements This connector is a more cost-effective system intended for use in smaller...
