ISOBUS Standard for tractor implement communication Use of electronic control on tractors and implements has rapidly evolved during the last decades. An ever increasing demand for integration of the electronics has lead to the development of an interna- tional standard, ISO 11783, or commonly called ISOBUS. This protocol defines communication between tractor electronics and implement electronics through a communication bus.
With decades of experience in ISOBUS technology, Kverneland Group has now developed the next generation ISOBUS terminal: IsoMatch Tellus GO. The IsoMatch Tellus GO is tested by the DLG and has been certified following the latest ISOBUS 2009 standardizations. The IsoMatch Tellus GO with its integrated Tractor ECU, supplemented with the IsoMatch Power set, upgrades any non ISOBUS tractor to a fully ISOBUS compatible tractor.

License keys IsoMatch GEOcontrol functionalities IsoMatch GEOcontrol is an application on the IsoMatch Tellus GO terminal. The terminal is delivered with a 25 hours demo-license, which will count down only while using the licensed functionalities of the application. After the 25 hours have expired, the application's functionality will be limited. The user must obtain and enter a valid license key to enable GEO-SC (Section Control) or GEO-VR (Variable Rate).
GEO-SC The GEO-SC license allows the user to section control with any compatible device. GEO-SC will automat- ically switch off the sections of the connected device when passing over an already covered area or when crossing a field boundary. GEO-VR The GEO-VR license allows the user to do Variable Rate applications based on Iso-XML imports.
