A customer's Fendt 724. The module in a weatherproof box bolted under the cab. Full wiring on the use-case page.
A custom build, shown for reference. The standard module is the bare unit; this box, its wiring and its connectors were built to order.
Inside the same build: module, fuse block and output wiring done before shipping. On the standard module, this is the part you wire yourself.
Each lead ends in the connector the machine needs. This build uses Deutsch connectors and 3-pin sockets, plus a plug for the in-cab ISOBUS socket.

Not sure it fits? Check in 30 sGrab and tilt from the same joystick
The third function kit's push button is made for a mechanical joystick, taped or clamped to the lever. On a newer tractor, the loader joystick is part of the armrest electronics, with no spot for the button, and the button's cable ends up across the cab.
ISOBUS Block switches the diverter valve's coil, and the button is one the tractor already has. You set up a button called GRAB on the tractor screen and assign it to a joystick or armrest button. Press it, and the joystick's tilt movement moves the grab instead of tilting the bucket.
Set GRAB to momentary, like the old push button, or to toggle.
Fitting the third function on an ISOBUS tractor
- Mount the module in the cab and connect it to the in-cab ISOBUS socket with the In-Cab Connector Kit.
- Wire the diverter valve's coil to a relay output on the module.
- Create the GRAB button on the tractor screen, link it to that output and choose momentary or toggle.
- Assign GRAB to a joystick button.
What you need
- ISOBUS Block 8-channel module.
- In-Cab Connector Kit. The plug for the in-cab ISOBUS socket, with the module in the cab. On a tractor with a front ISOBUS socket, you can mount the module on the chassis with the External Connector Kit instead.
- ISOBUS cable in 3 m (10 ft), 6 m (20 ft) or 10 m (33 ft), from the ISOBUS socket to where the module is mounted.

On customers' machines
A customer's machine: an Amazone Pantera being converted from a sprayer into a harvesting machine. A 32-channel build switches its new functions.
A hook-lift trailer in the UK, fitted by our dealer Tramline Tec. The 32-channel module in an enclosure on the chassis. We ship the module only; the box, terminals and wiring are the installer's.
A customer's Fendt 724. The module in a weatherproof box bolted under the cab. Full wiring on the use-case page.
A customer's potato trailer in the UK. The 8-channel module in an enclosure on the trailer replaced the switch box in the cab.
What customers tell us
It was a pleasure to work with you, very knowledgeable and nothing too much of a problem. Great piece of ingenuity.
A customer in Austria fitted the module to a new Fendt 724 and wired six channels to the 15-pin socket for a three-way tipper, with two spare in the cab. He wrote that the install was plug and play and that controlling the tipper from the terminal is comfortable.
Austria. Fendt 724 Gen6, three-way tipper with lift axle.
Excellent customer service. The rake worked really well all season, much easier steering with the ISOBUS Block installed.
Name it. Assign it. Press it.
Mount it, wire your loads, plug in one ISOBUS cable, and set up your buttons on the tractor screen. A screwdriver does the module end.
Name your button
Type a name (up to 8 characters), pick an icon, select which outputs it controls, and choose toggle or momentary mode.
See it on the screen
Your buttons show up on the tractor display with the names and icons you chose. Pick a layout that fits your setup.
Assign to your joystick
Open the tractor's AUX-N menu. Your named buttons appear there. Assign them to any joystick or armrest button you want.
Press it
Your joystick button switches the relay. Active outputs light up green on the screen. That's the whole system.
What actually changes
Same tractor. Same cab. Completely different setup.
- Drilling holes, mounting switches
- Clean cab, no modifications
- Relay boards, fuses, wire harnesses
- One ISOBUS cable, done
- Hard-wired, can't change it
- Reassign any output from the screen
- Reaching across the cab for toggle switches
- Everything on your joystick hand
- Which switch was the work light again?
- Labels on the tractor display

Let a sensor do the switching
The module has 8 digital inputs. Wire a proximity sensor, a limit switch, a pressure switch or a cab panel switch to one, and it switches the relay outputs for you. 5 to 36 V, optocoupler isolated, for dry contact, NPN and PNP sensors.
You decide when it runs: arm it from the tractor screen or from an armrest button. Everything is set up on the terminal. No laptop, no app, no programming.
How the inputs work
Output on while the input is active.
A sensor on the wagon door. When the load pushes the door open, a buzzer sounds in the cab.
Each pulse flips the output on or off.
Forces the outputs off while the input is active.
For an end switch or a limit switch. It stops the automation, never your own button press.
Manual always wins
Grab the joystick and the automation drops out. Any joystick, armrest or screen button that overlaps a running function disarms it. The automation never blocks, limits or delays what you do by hand.
- Automation never resumes by itself. Re-arming is one deliberate press.
- Nothing arms itself. After a power cycle everything is manual again.
- A latched STOP holds every output off until you release it. It is an operator control, not an emergency stop.
Tune each input to the machine
Five settings per input, stored per preset. A live IN and OUT indicator on the same terminal page shows the raw sensor next to the filtered result.
| Setting | What it does | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Debounce | Filters contact bounce and electrical noise. | 10 ms to 1 s |
| On delay | The sensor has to mean it before anything moves. Ignores bumps and blips. | 0 to 10 s |
| Off delay | Stops hunting when a sensor sits right on its trigger point. | 0 to 10 s |
| Min on | Once on, the relay stays on at least this long, so a twitchy sensor cannot chatter it and wear it out. | 0 to 10 s |
| Max on | Ceiling on continuous on-time. Catches a sensor that fails stuck-on. | No limit, or 1 to 300 s |
Hard floors of 100 ms on and 100 ms rest are built in. No combination of settings can chatter a relay from the input side.
What it is not
This is not a safety system. Block inputs and interlocks stop the automation, not you. If a movement has to stop whatever happens, fit a mechanical end stop.
An input is on or off. It does not measure a level, count pulses or read a frequency. Two inputs can be interlocked so they never run at the same time. That is the only logic between them.
The web interface only tests outputs and updates firmware. Switching an output there turns all automation off.

Optional add-ons
Connector kits and cable
Where you mount the Block decides the connector. In the cab, it plugs into the tractor's in-cab ISOBUS socket. On the implement, it plugs into the external socket at the rear or front, and the ISOBUS cable runs from there to the Block.
None of these are required. The module takes any ISOBUS cable you source yourself. The kits and the cable just save you sourcing the parts.
