Hardware specifications and ratings for ISOBUS Block

Technical Specifications

Power Supply

ParameterSpecification
Input Voltage7-36V DC
Typical Systems12V and 24V tractor systems
Power SourceThrough the ISOBUS connection; relay loads draw from a supply you provide
Power ConnectorScrew terminals (BAT+, BAT-) for bench/direct feed

Digital Inputs

The module has 8 digital inputs. Sensors and switches wired to them can drive the relay outputs automatically. See Automation (AUTO). Using them is optional: the relays are switched by hand from the VT buttons, AUX-N buttons or the web interface TEST function whether or not anything is wired to the inputs.

ParameterSpecification
Number of Inputs8 (IN1–IN8 on the housing, DI1–DI8 in the UI)
Input Voltage Range5-36V
Input TypeOptocoupler isolated, bidirectional
Input LogicActive when the input is energized; INVERT setting per input
Supported SignalsDry contact (switch) or wet contact (NPN/PNP)
Debounce10 ms to 1 s per input, default 50 ms
Per-input timingOn delay, off delay, minimum on-time, maximum on-time
Input ModesFOLLOW, TOGGLE, BLOCK

The 32-channel module has no digital inputs.

Protection Features

These protect the module and its outputs during normal operation. They are not safety functions: the module is not a safety device and must not be relied on for any safety-critical function. See our Terms of Service.

  • Optocoupler isolation on inputs and outputs
  • CAN bus isolation
  • Automatic output shutdown on communication timeout (500ms)
  • OTA update authentication
  • Firmware rollback capability
  • Boot failure automatic recovery
