SUPPLIER FEATURE: Building machine interoperability into high-speed data communication
Heavy equipment doesn’t work alone and interoperability between brands of equipment has become more critical. As industrial machinery becomes part of connected networks with command centers and other equipment units, system architectures are incorporating CAN with Ethernet to meet the growing data networking requirements. Controller Area Network (CAN) systems have been used in industrial machinery applications since the 1990s as part of proprietary manufacturer equipment solutions. Interoperability solutions took shape in the 2000s when the global agriculture industry united behind the work of AEF-the Agriculture Electronics Foundation to develop ISO 11783, a control and communications data network protocol similar to USB found on commercial electronics.
