scope:

ISO 11783 specifies a serial data network for control and communications on forestry or agricultural tractors, mounted, semi-mounted, towed or self propelled implements. Its purpose is to standardize the method and format of transfer of data between sensor, actuators, control elements, information storage and display units whether mounted or part of the tractor, or any implements. This part of ISO 11783 describes a universal virtual terminal that can be used by both tractors and implements.
