ISOcores
Designed for agricultural terminals and server-side applications, ISOcores provides the flexibility to run across modern platforms while guaranteeing full AEF compliance. Build certified ISOBUS software faster, safer, and with lasting reliability.
The modular foundation for ISOBUS server applications
With ISOcores you can develop ISOBUS-compliant terminal and server applications quickly and reliably. Its modular, well-documented API together with practical tutorials reduces complexity and accelerates development, leading to faster time-to-market, seamless hardware integration, and certified interoperability.
Key benefits of ISOcores ISOBUS library
Flexible Use across Modern Platforms, No Vendor Lock-In
ISOcores runs natively on Linux, Android, and Windows. This hardware independence gives manufacturers and integrators freedom of choice and long-term investment security without vendor lock-in.
Faster Development and Easier Integration
The modular, well-documented API makes implementation straightforward. Teams can pick the functions they need, focus on applications, and bring ISOBUS terminals to market faster — with lower development overhead.
Quick Onboarding with Tutorials and Examples
Ready-to-use console and GUI tutorials provide developers with practical guidance from day one. They shorten onboarding, speed up project ramp-up, and ensure consistent implementation across teams.
Reliable Interoperability through AEF Certification
Demo Applications Prepared for Certification
The ISOcores library includes sample GUIs for Virtual Terminal and Task Controller, already validated with AEF tools. These ready-made applications give your team a solid foundation and make certification faster and more predictable
Optimized Performance with Seamless Integration
Custom builds ensure stability from the start, while the lightweight C++ design integrates smoothly into embedded environments. Your team avoids complex adjustments and keeps ISOBUS systems reliable across diverse hardware.
What you get with ISOcores ISOBUS library
ISOBUS Communication Framework (ISO 11783-3/5/12)
The ISOcores framework provides a robust backbone for data exchange between terminals, ECUs, and machines. By ensuring reliable and standard-compliant communication, it lays the foundation for stable ISOBUS systems across diverse devices.
Virtual Terminal (ISO 11783-6)
With Virtual Terminal support, you can create standardized operator interfaces for your machines. This ensures operators benefit from consistent, user-friendly controls across different brands, reducing training needs and improving day-to-day usability.
Task Controller (ISO 11783-10) with GNSS Data Integration
The Task Controller adds advanced precision farming functions such as task management, section and rate control, logging, and geo-based applications. By integrating GNSS data, you can optimize inputs, reduce costs, and increase productivity in your fields.
File Server (ISO 11783-13)
The File Server manages structured file handling and data exchange between machines, terminals, and back-office systems. This simplifies the transfer of maps, prescriptions, and log files, ensuring smooth information flow across the agricultural ecosystem.
ISOBUS Shortcut Button (ISB)
ISOBUS Shortcut Button support gives operators fast and intuitive access to essential functions. A single press can stop or adjust implement operations instantly, improving both workflow efficiency and operational safety.
TECU (Tractor ECU ISO 11783-9)
Communication with tractor-side systems is handled through the TECU core, which provides key data such as speed, engine load, and hitch position. This enables implements to respond dynamically to tractor conditions for more precise and efficient control.
Diagnostics Services (ISO 11783-12)
Built-in diagnostics make it easy for your team to troubleshoot and monitor ISOBUS networks. Issues can be identified and resolved quickly, helping you minimize downtime and keep your systems running reliably.
Extension Modules (GPS, FS, TC, VT Qt)
Optional extensions provide additional flexibility for advanced use cases, including GPS parsing, enhanced File Server capabilities, Task Controller add-ons, and advanced VT visualization. These modules make the library adaptable to complex and evolving ISOBUS projects.
Development tools perfect for the ISOBUS library
Maximize the efficiency of your ISOcores ISOBUS implementation with dedicated companion tools. These professional Windows-based applications are designed to work seamlessly alongside ISOcores, helping your team test server functions and analyze CAN communication in real-world conditions. Together with ISOcores, these tools form a complete development ecosystem: from protocol libraries to simulation and analysis, everything your team needs to accelerate ISOBUS projects and secure AEF certification.
