Valid for CANoe.ISO11783 as of version 17

CANoe.ISO11783 extends the standard functionality of CANoe. This document presents the application areas and functions
of Option ISO11783.

Product information and technical data for the basic functions of CANoe are available in separate documents.

 CANoe.ISO11783

1 Introduction
ISO 11783 (or ISOBUS) is a J1939-based CAN protocol for communication in the agriculture industry. ISOBUS is a CAN-based
multi-master network whose protocol has been harmonized with J1939. This means that both systems may be used in parallel
in the same network or segment.

Figure 1: Overview

 CANoe.ISO11783

2 Application Areas
One of the greatest difficulties in developing ISO11783 systems is the number and complexity of the components that make
up an ISO11783 system. The major components include:

> Tractor ECU

> Virtual Terminal

> Task Controller

> File Server

> GNSS Module

> Auxiliary Inputs (Joystick)

> One or more Implement ECUs

For each of these components, CANoe.ISO11783 provides support for performing component-specific simulation, analysis,
testing and diagnostics in a very effective and user-friendly manner.

 CANoe.ISO11783

3 Simulation
A critical key function of CANoe.ISO11783 is simulation. CANoe.ISO11783 can simulate almost any ISO11783 component.

3.1 Simulation of Implement

Because each implement is unique, whether it is a sprayer, loader, planter, etc., its simulation is not a simple task. Here we
provide a very useful help in the form of an advanced modeling library (Iso11783_IL.dll).

On the one hand, it implements all aspects of ISO11783 communication, such as network management, diagnostic, transport
protocol and request/response behavior. They are drawn in blue on the picture.

On the other hand, it implements essential parts of communication with all components of an ISO11783 network, such as
virtual terminal, task controller, file server and TIM server or client. They are drawn in red on the picture.

Based on these function blocks, it is no longer difficult to implement the desired behavior. This is done by configuration via the
database and via the CAPL programming interface. They are drawn in green on the picture.

Figure 2: Simulation of an implement

3.2 Simulation of TIM Server and TIM Client

Additionally, the ISO11783 IL implements both the TIM Server and TIM Client. A comprehensive set of CAPL functions makes
possible:

> Configuration

> Control

> Fault injection

This implementation is the basis for AEF TIM Conformance Test.

Based on ISO11783 IL, CANoe provides an example for modeling TIM Server and TIM Client: Both TIM Server and TIM Client
behave conform to AEF TIM standard. However, if necessary, the behavior of each component can be adjusted as desired.

3.3 Simulation of further components

CANoe.ISO11783 provides means for simulating other important ISO11783 components such as Virtual Terminal, Task
Controller, File Server and GNSS Receiver. Each part can be simulated by two components:

> Window (VT Window, FS Window, TC Window, GNSS Simulator)

> Interaction Layer (VT IL, FS IL, TC IL, GNSS NL)

Each window can be used immediately, without programming, for standard scenarios. However, for more complex scenarios
the user can leverage the Interaction Layer (IL), which does not have its own graphical interface, but can be extended as desired
by a CAPL program. The Interaction Layer can also be controlled directly from a test unit and provides a powerful tool for
experienced users. The picture offers a clear comparison between the respective window and interaction layer.

3.4 Simulation of Virtual Terminal

CANoe.ISO11783 provides the capabilities to simulate a virtual terminal (VT) for all released version from 2 to 6.

The Virtual Terminal Window (VT Window) offers the full functionality of a Virtual Terminal and can be added with a mouse
click and used immediately. The VT Window variant lets you simulate a VT without prior programming knowledge and offers
the possibility to visually control the data masks as well as the contents of object pools.

However, if special behavior is desired, or the simulated Virtual Terminal will be controlled from a Test Unit, the VT window can
be supplemented by a Virtual Terminal Interaction Layer (VT IL). The VT IL can be controlled with CAPL. This allows any
complexity of scenarios (including fault injection) to be realized (and automated).

Figure 5: Virtual Terminal: VT Window vs. VT IL

3.5 Simulation of Task Controller

CANoe.ISO11783 provides all the capabilities for simulating a Task Controller (TC) for released versions 2 to 4.

You can simulate basic as well as geo-based and section control. The Task Controller Window has a graphical user interface
and allows the simulation of a Task Controller without programming knowledge. The TC Window offers the ability to change,
request and visually control the data provided by connected implements (including Section Control) as well as the configuration
of all types of logging: time interval, distance interval, min / max / change threshold.

However, if special behavior is desired, or the simulated Task Controller is to be controlled from a Test Unit, the TC Window
can be supplemented by a Task Controller Interaction Layer (TC IL). The TC IL can be controlled with CAPL. This allows any
complexity of scenarios (including fault injection) to be realized (and automated).

Figure 6: Task Controller: TC Window vs. TC IL

3.6 Simulation of File Server

The File Server in an ISO11783 network is designed for use by a tractor or self-propelled implement to provide file access such
as read and write operations. CANoe.ISO11783 offers the whole functionality of such a File Server. All versions specified until
2022 are supported.

File Server Window (FS Window) can be used to set up a ready to use File Server instance within a few steps without additional
CAPL programming. The FS Window displays connected clients, opened files and read/write operations as well as a log file
with detailed information about communication.

However, if special behavior is desired, or the simulated File Server is to be controlled from a Test Unit, the FS window can be
supplemented by a File Server Interaction Layer (FS IL). The FS IL can be controlled with CAPL. This allows any complexity of
scenarios (including fault injection) to be realized (and automated).

4 Analysis
Option ISO11783 supports and extends the basic analysis of CANoe. The existing Trace Window is extended in such a way that
ISO11783-specific data can be interpreted and checked for protocol violations.

Figure 8: ISO11783-specific analysis windows in CANoe

Map Window allows the numeric and graphical display of GPS data. You can also use the Virtual Terminal Window, File Server
Window, and the Task Controller Window, which analyze object pool data, file server data and process data without affecting
network communication (passive mode).

4.1 Trace Window

One of the most important and universal modules in CANoe is the Trace Window. Trace Window allows the user to monitor
communication on the symbolic level, where the parameter groups transmitted are displayed.

All relevant information is displayed in separate columns, including the parameter group number, priority, source, and
destination addresses, as well as protocol and content interpretation in text form. There are more than 30 different columns
available, from which the user can select according to their requirements.

The picture shows only a small number of them.

Figure 9: Visualization of ISO11783 bus traffic in Trace window

Individual topics such as transport protocols, network management and diagnostics are color-coded, making them even easier
to use. Highlighting of protocol violations helps to assure ISO11783-conformant communication. In order to reduce the number
of messages displayed in the Trace Window, many different filters are available, and can be combined as desired.

Figure 10: ISO11783-specific filtering options in Trace window

10
 CANoe.ISO11783

These include among others:

> Programmable filters that can implement any complex filter criteria

> Configurable filters that evaluate and combine information from any column

> Predefined filters for all important themes or protocol components

> Network Management

> Transport Protocol

> Diagnostic

> Virtual Terminal

> Task Controller

> File Server

> TIM

> >Sequence Control

Each filter can be used as both a pass filter and a blocking filter. The combination of filters optimizes the amount of data
displayed in the Trace Window.

4.2 Spezialized Modules

Trace Window can do a lot, but not everything. How, for example, does one recognize what the display of a virtual terminal
should look like if the corresponding object pool is several kilobytes in size and is transmitted in binary form? Specialized
modules are available, which observe and visualize bus traffic from the point of view of a specific device type. Virtual Terminal
Window, File Server Window, Task Controller Window and Map window all observe the bus traffic in passive mode and present
all important information to the user in a well-prepared form.

Figure 11: Generic and specialized modules for analysis of ISO11783 bus traffic

 CANoe.ISO11783

4.3 Virtual Terminal Window

Virtual Terminal Window implements all the functionality of a Virtual Terminal according to ISO11783-6, but has a very useful
additional features. In "passive" mode, the Virtual Terminal Window receives messages via the bus and reconstructs everything
that happens with the real Virtual Terminal:

> Screen layout

> User interaction

> Object pool data

The object pool uploaded to the real virtual terminal can be analyzed and exported at any time - even after a communication
failure or an error in the real virtual terminal. So, VT Window becomes a true mirror of the real Virtual Terminal.

Figure 12: Virtual Terminal Window

4.4 Task Controller Window

Task Controller Window implements a Task Controller according to ISO11783-10 and offers - just like VT Window - a very
useful function. In "passive" mode, the Task Controller Window receives messages via the bus and reconstructs everything that
happens with the real Task Controller:

> Uploaded device descriptions

> Content of the process variables

> Status of the task

The device descriptions uploaded to the real Task Controller can be analyzed and exported at any time - even after a
communication failure or an error in the real Task Controller. So, the Task Controller Window becomes a true mirror of the real
Task Controller.

Figure 13: Task Controller Window

4.5 File Server Window

File Server Window implements an FS Server according to ISO11783-13 and offers - just like VT Window and Task Controller
Window- a very useful function: In "passive" mode, the File Server Window receives messages via the bus and reconstructs
everything that happens with the real File Server:

> connected Clients

> opened files with original and changed content

> whole communication in easy-to-read form

Figure 14: File Server Window

4.6 Map Window

For the visualization of the current position and travelled path there are a specialized window that extracts the route
information from the messages specified in J1939, ISO11783 and NMEA2000. The route color can be used to visualize any
other parameter, such as altitude, speed or application rate.

Figure 15: Map Window

5 Testing
The challenge in test development for an ISOBUS component is that the component needs a complex network environment to
be tested in a meaningful way. An implement needs e.g., a Virtual Terminal, a Task Controller, one or more Auxiliary Inputs and
possibly other ISOBUS components.

These components must always adapt their behavior to the requirements of the respective test step. In some test steps they
must interact strictly according to the standard, in others they must interact in the gray area, and in some test steps they
must violate the corresponding standard. The behavior of each component must therefore be changed again and again.

This is exactly what our interaction layers offer: you can call them directly from your test and thus change the behavior of the
simulated component. The entire CAPL API of the respective interaction layer is directly available to you.

Figure 16: CANoe.ISO11783 test system: easy control of all simulation nodes from a test unit

This allows complex test scenarios to be implemented very quickly and efficiently. The implementation remains clear and easy
to maintain. Here is a sample implementation for testing a sprayer. In the left part, individual steps of the test scenario are
listed, in the right part - the necessary implementation. Note: the code is fully executable (no pseudo code)!

6 Diagnostic
CANoe.ISO11783 make it easy to work with the diagnostic protocol defined in ISO 11783-12. For OEM-specific diagnostic
protocols, the Diagnostic Feature Set (KWP2000 and UDS) is available.

6.1 Analysis with DTC Monitor

The DTC Monitor offers a simple interface to the J1939 diagnostic protocol. Without programming, DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Codes) and diagnostic messages can be displayed or queried on demand. Additionally, you can jump from a selected error code
to the respective position in the Trace window.

Figure 20: DTC Monitor

6.2 Simulation with Interaction Layers

Each Interaction Layer like J1939 IL, ISO 11783 IL, VT IL, TC IL and FS IL provides a simple and convenient CAPL interface to
control the sending of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

With a single call you can:

> Activate one or more DTCs

> Modify properties of an active DTC like Occurrence Counter (OC) or Failure Malfunction Indicator (FMI)

> Disable one or more active DTCs or make them Previous Active DTC.

The internal state machine of the Interaction Layers automatically manages the associated counter (OC), shifts DTC from
DM1 to DM2 and controls the cyclic or spontaneous sending of corresponding diagnostic messages.

Differences between sending the DM1 message in J1939 and ISO11783 are also considered.

7 Database
The included ISO11783.dbc contains more than 100 ISO11783-relevant parameter groups - with all signals resp. SPNs.

Special attention is paid to the parameter groups used for communication between an Implement and a Task Controller,
Virtual Terminal, File Server, or Auxiliary Input:

Figure 22: ISO11783 messages can be edited using CANdb++ Editor in a convenient way

The user can expand the database (or even create their own) and define application-specific parameter groups (Proprietary
PGs) or additional nodes using the CANdb++ Editor (included with delivery). This makes it possible to define application-
specific parameter groups, for example. Parameter groups and signals defined can be selected symbolically in the entire
program. The CANdb++ Editor was extended to support the J1939 and ISO11783 environments with dialogs and additional
views to make creation and verification considerably easier for the user.
This includes the presentation and modification of J1939-specific message properties such as PGN, Source, Destination or
Prio - both in the list view and for each individual message.
