ISOBUS SYSTEM
ISOBUS provides a consistent user interface for planter functionality, regardless of the tractor brand that is pulling the
implement. The ISOBUS control system plugs into a compatible, existing monitor in the cab of the tractor. The existing
monitor becomes a Virtual Terminal (VT) for Kinze controls and monitoring.
CAN-BUS TECHNOLOGY
The ISOBUS system uses Controller Area Network (CAN) technology. CAN systems are comprised of individual
modules, each with their own high speed processor, connected through a high-speed communications cable. CAN
has many benefits, including greater ability to configure and expand the system, compatibility, simpler installs with less
wiring and increased system dependability.
9-PIN CONNECTOR
The 9-Pin round pin connector contains CAN, ECU power, solenoid power, and grounds .
NOTE: The displays used in this manual are from a John Deere virtual terminal. Your
virtual terminal may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
