Business Model for ISOBUS Stack Solution
Our pre-tested, ready-to-deploy and stable ISOBUS protocol software is based on ISO 11783 standard. It is offered under a one-time licensing fee model.
This model provides you the ownership of the software IP rights and the source code of the ISOBUS protocol stack.
With IP rights and the source code, as a customer you can leverage the benefits of reusing ISOBUS software stack across multiple projects and/or across product lines.

Ans. ISOBUS software stack is a pre-packaged software solution developed in compliance with ISO 11783 standard.
This software stack enables and manages the in-vehicle network communication between the agricultural tractor ECUs and implements ECUs.
Ans. We provide detailed analysis for the end-user application prior to the stack integration. Also based on your requirements, we provide ISOBUS protocol integration services. Following is the detailed list of services that we provide as the part of our Service Level Agreement (SLA):
- ISOBUS software stack integration to with your hardware platform
- ISOBUS software stack integration with the target application
- ECU re-programming module/ Bootloader development based on ISO 11783 standard.
- Low-level driver development to assure compatibility of the stack to your hardware platform.
- Conformance Testing services as per ISO 11783 standard.
Ans. Our ISOBUS software stack is hardware independent. We have developed low-level driver modules to ensure hardware abstraction.
Ans. Our ISOBUS stack is complaint to ISO 11783 standard.
Ans. The source code is developed in embedded C in compliance to MISRA-C standards. We adhere to software development and project management best practices as per CMMI level 3 standards at the organization level.
Ans. With over 10 years of domain experience of being technology partner with global automotive OEMs and suppliers, we have provided successful stack integration and post-production support for multiple customers across their product lines.We share the specific success stories of our customers only on request after signing the NDA.
Ans. We provide end-of-line testing services after the software stack integration. This ensures complete support from our development team in the production environment
Our team of expert automotive software engineers have experience of working with global OEMs’ and Suppliers for providing integration and conformance testing in compliance with ISO 11783 standard.
Ans. We provide one-time licensing to our customers according to our business model. This includes source code for the ISOBUS software stack and IP rights. The IP rights provide the customer flexibility to reuse the software stack across multiple projects.
However, we are also free to the idea of re-framing the business model depending on the client requirement.
Ans. Yes. We follow a well planned process of maintenance and support as a part of our SLA. The terms of the SLA depend on the specific project requirements and customer’s expectations.
ISOBUS Protocol Stack Implementation Success Stories:
- Customer: – Stack Configuration and Integration Testing for a European Tier-1 Supplier.
- Business Challenge – The need to migrate products to ISO 11783 standards became inevitable for our customer (Tier-1 supplier of Agricultural automation products) to ensure compatibility with the agricultural implements.
- Embitel Solution – After discussions and adequate requirement gathering our Automotive experts designed the following solutions:
- Off-the-self pre-packaged and pre-tested ISOBUS stack was integrated with minimum modifications.
- A CAN driver was designed to ensure hardware abstraction for data communication, further making the ISOBUS software stack platform independent.
- The ISOBUS software stack also included the feature of compatibility with both RTOS and non-RTOS.

ISOBUS Software Stack Architecture:
We have developed an in-house verified and validated stack with Implement message application layer, diagnostic layer and the task controller layer which can be modified according to the requirement of services.
The ISOBUS software stack is implemented with a Hardware Abstraction layer (CAN HAL) which ensures that the stack is hardware independent (Not dependent on CAN) and reusable or easily portable.
| ISO-OSI model layer | Embedded software standard |
|---|---|
| Data link / Transport Layer | ISO11783-3 (Data Link) |
| Network Management Layer | ISO11783-5 (Network Management) |
| Presentation Layer | ISO11783-7 (Implement message) |
| Diagnostics Layer | ISO11783-12 (Diagnostic Services) |
| Session Layer | ISO11783-10 (Task Controller) |
| Application Layer | ISO11783-13 (File Server and Virtual Terminal) |
The layered architecture consists of layers as depicted in the blog diagram below:
