ISO 11783-9:2002

Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry — Serial control and communications data network — Part 9: Tractor ECU

This part of ISO 11783 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 sensor, actuators, control elements, and information-storage and -display units, whether mounted on, or part of, the tractor or implement. This part of ISO 11783 describes the tractor ECU, the electronic control unit that provides the gateway between the network’s tractor and implement buses, as well as performing other functions.
