New Universal ISOBUS Terminal

IsoMatch Tellus – Technical Specifications

Kverneland Group will launch its next generation universal ISOBUS Terminal – IsoMatch Tellus – at the Agritechnica exhibition in Hannover, November 2009.

2 Interface screens in 1 terminal

The IsoMatch Tellus is the first ISOBUS terminal in the world that displays 2 different interfaces simultaneously. The advantages of displaying 2 different interfaces means that the operator can observe 2 ISOBUS machines through 1 terminal without the need to constantly toggle between screens. e.g. a fertiliser front hopper and a precision drill at the rear.

Due to the increasing number of functionalities that can be added to a machine such as cameras, task controller, internet browser, operator manuals or tractor ECU, the need for simultaneous controlling of those functionalities is a must for operators.

Some of the examples of multi-screen combinations:

·         The use of an ISOBUS machine interface in the top screen and a camera display in the bottom screen, e.g. to see the machine interface screen of the loader wagon to monitor the trailer content with a camera in one terminal.

·         The use of an ISOBUS machine interface in the top screen and a Tractor interface screen at the bottom.

·         The use of an ISOBUS machine interface in the top screen and a Task Controller screen in the bottom.

·         The use of an ISOBUS machine interface and its operator’s manual in the bottom, helping the operator configure the machine without the need for separate manual.

Safety

Kverneland Group is one of the seven founding members of the AEF (Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation), which was formed to steer ISOBUS development and standardisation. Therefore, the latest regulations, e.g. the “ISOBUS Stop Button” are integrated in the IsoMatch Tellus. The ISOBUS Stop Button is a new feature conforming to the very latest ISO 11783 standardisation. When the operator detects an unsafe situation and presses the ISOBUS Stop Button, a safety message will be sent to the connected ISOBUS implement.soMatch Tellus is a major step forward in the innovation of ISOBUS Virtual Terminals, developed to fulfill the future needs of farmers in terms of ease of use, multifunctional monitoring and controlling all processes from a single terminal in the tractor.
