ISOBUS test
What it is:
The official test of a component (software + hardware) for compliance to
the latest ISOBUS implementation level
Result:
Certificate ISOBUS 20xx conform
Added to www.isobus.net
Idea behind:
Only compliant components make ISOBUS work in practice
No free use of the term ISOBUS compatible

ISOBUS test
Advantage for the manufacterer
Commercial: Customer confidence + marketing argument
Legal/Safety: all possible measures taken to ensure proper functioning
Service:chances of failure limited to minimum

But they still need lunch

Organization today
Initiative of
VDMA (German federation of manufacterers)
AEM (US federation of manufacterers)
IGI, NAIITF (user groups)
Done by independent testing institute
DLG (German agricultural association)

Hints for developers

Have VTs and components available for developers

Use of mask generator tool that usually produces correct code
Electronics components: reuse, so no big issue (TBC, connectors,
cables
Others terminals / ECUs
In house use of P-convert: buy at DLG
Plugfests
Finish software prior to testing: new software = new testing procedure
