investigating how ‘machine to
cloud’ and even ‘cloud to cloud’
communications can be
standardized for machines from
di erent manufacturers. Only then
can the full range of bene ts of
digital farming be realized.
ISObus to go wireless?
When can a wireless ISObus system
like this be expected to work onsite?
According to Schlingmann,
development is ongoing with pace
and rst pilot installations to be
tested in the eld in 2020.
Concerning the critical choice of
wireless transfers, two technologies
will be used: WLAN for short
distances of up to 100m and, for
distances of up to 1,000 m, the
802.11P standard for V2X (vehicleto
everything) communication.
ese standards will, of course, also
be tested during the pilot
installation, including encryption
and functional reliability.
ISObus compatible wireless HMI
ere are, though, wireless
technologies that can already be used
ABOVE: In Claas cabs, iPads
can be integrated ‘on air’ into
ISObus systems
LEFT: A familiar sight in
the agricultural machinery
world: the ISObus plug.
Will it soon be replaced by
wireless systems?
in certain ISObus-related applications
– for instance at the ‘front end’ of the
HMI in the cab. For this
purpose, Claas has
app which enables
the driver to control
the machine by
iPad via ISObus.
