BS ISO 11783-4:2011

This standard BS ISO 11783-4:2011 Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry. Serial control and communications data network is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.240.99 IT applications in other fields
• 35.100.30 Network layer
• 65.060.01 Agricultural machines and equipment in general
• 35.240.68 IT applications in agriculture

ISO 11783 as a whole 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 network layer, which defines the requirements and services needed for communication between control functions (CFs) in different segments of the ISO 11783 network. The various types of network interconnection units are defined in this part of ISO 11783.
