ISOBUS for CODESYS 3.5

The worlds easiest way of configuring ISOBUS projects has now been extended to include Epec's CODESYS 3.5 units. The first unit to receive this support is EC44-020. ISOBUS C3.5 SW supports:

VT client (UT2.0)

AUX-N Functions

TC client (TC1.0)

TECU class 2 PGN interface

Diagnostics PGN interface (Min CF 1.0)

Archive file format

MultiTool can export the project in .mtarchive format in addition to saving it in the .mtproject format. The archive file format .mtarchive includes for example the device descriptions and libraries of all the programmable units in the project. For slave units, the eds files are also included in the archive. When opening an .mtarchive file, MultiTool can install the devices and libraries to CODESYS and the eds files to MultiTools device repository.
