Suppliers often provide their ECUs to multiple manufacturers. These ECUs are equipped with a standard software which are able to support different implement types. To facilitate the inclusion of new ISOBUS products into the AEF ISOBUS Database, the AEF offers sub suppliers certifications.

The AEF Plugfests take place every spring and fall, alternately in the U.S. and Europe. They provide the industry with the opportunity to test their own ISOBUS product developments in combination with those from other manufacturers using the test protocol defined in the ISO 11783 standards.

The AEF Engineering & Implementation team has been investigating the use of Twisted Pair Physical Layer (TPPL) for use on ISOBUS systems.

What is ISOBUS? How does the AEF ISOBUS Database work? What are the advantages of the AEF ISOBUS CheckTool? These and other questions are answered by the various training modules developed by the AEF in English, German and Italian specifically for its member companies. Simple, fast and easy to understand, these training units make every participant a competent contact partner when it comes to compatibility of agricultural machinery. The AEF thus offers the perfect introduction to the world of ISOBUS.
