Guest Post: Eclipse 4diac for Agrimechatronics: The Project logiBUS®

The folks at HR Agrartechnik GmbH have been busy to port Eclipse 4diac™ FORTE to the ESP32 and integrate the ISOBUS (ISO 11783) protocol over the last year. is the Fusion of IEC 61499 programming and ISO 11783 compatibiltiy. ISOBUS, also known as ISO 11783, is a communication protocol standard developed for agricultural equipment to facilitate the exchange of data between different types of farm machinery and implements. The term “ISOBUS” stands for “ISO Bus,” where ISO refers to the International Organization for Standardization, and “Bus” refers to a system of communication between multiple devices.

You Can't Make an Omelet Without Breaking Eggs!

For 4diac FORTE, API stability was always our major concern. However, this came at a cost (e.g., performance, memory usage, memory-safety). Therefore, we decided that we need to do a major rework of 4diac FORTE for the next release! The first results are already looking very promising. We get twice the speed for FB algorithm execution and reduced the runtime overhead (event and connection processing) by 30%. We hope for more progress to come in the next weeks.
