AEF celebrates 10th anniversary of ISOBUS Conformance Test and Database

With the AEF ISOBUS Database, AEF has been ensuring transparency of ISOBUS compatibility for more than 10 years now. As of today, 1280 certified ECUs, 755 product types, 1630 product models and over 3000 product versions shown in the database from the well-known agricultural machinery manufacturers and suppliers speak for themselves.

A few weeks ago, the AEF kicked off the new project team Digital Camera Systems or DCS for short. More than 25 participants from various AEF member companies out of the the USA, South America, Europe and Asia seized the opportunity to attend.

One of the first tasks after the founding of the AEF was to make ISOBUS (ISO 11783) easier to understand for the whole industry. This led to the development of a communication concept based on ISOBUS functionalities. The idea being that if you see the same functionality on two different products connected on the ISOBUS you know that you can use that functionality.

AEF member companies enjoy complimentary access to our web-based training courses. These instructional videos cover technical fundamentals across diverse topics, including ISOBUS, the AEF Functionalities, the CAN-BUS, as well as the AEF Check-Tool. Additionally, they offer insights into diagnostics and the ticket system.
