For years electronic control has been used to enhance the performance of various components in agricultural machinery e.g. engine, transmission and implement functions. Yet networking these components has potential to significantly improve the performance and modularity of the total system. The ISO 11783 standard specifies the communication between a tractor and an implement. Standardized communication is needed to ensure compatibility and interoperability of components from different manufacturers. In the Agrix Project the automation of agricultural implements is researched. The Agrix Basic Prototype is based on the ISO 11783 standard. The ISO 11783 compatible commercial tractor and virtual terminal are shortly reviewed and the realised implement controller, task controller and GPS-adapter are presented in this paper.
