Electronic control sensors applications for the next generation tractor based on open source library

The present agricultural machineries work with the embedded electronics and remote sensing devices. This paper presents the development of electronic control sensors applications for the next generation agricultural tractor. This development work is mainly based on an open source library which follows an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard named ISO11783. The ISO11783 standard (also known as ISOBUS) specifies a communication system for agricultural and forestry machineries based on Controller Area Network (CAN 2.0) protocol, and the principle of this standard is to provide an open, interconnected system for on-board electronic systems. It's planned to allow electronic control units (ECUs) for communicating with all other on CAN bus, provided that a uniform system. The open source library applications are written by C/C++ programming method for developing tractor ECUs. his research work mainly describes the system architecture of this ISO11783 based open source library and developing application program of virtual terminal and some electronic control unit(ECU) for agricultural tractor.
