ISOBUS: reading and changing an implement's NAME

Where: Remote sessions › Diagnostics › Service functions › Channel “v2 procedures (beta)”

On ISOBUS each module (tractor, terminal, implement) is identified by its NAME. If you fit two identical implements, their NAMEs can clash; changing the instance tells them apart.

• “Current or pending ISOBUS NAME of each module (NAME Management)”: read-only. Shows the NAME of each module, or the pending one if a change is half-done. Needs the ignition on.
• “Change the NAME instances of an ISOBUS implement (NAME Management)”: changes only the ECU instance and the function instance of one module.

1. Stop the machine: parking brake, engine off, ignition on and task stopped.
2. Run the read first to see the NAMEs and choose the module.
3. Run the change, confirm on screen and press the unit's button.
4. If the module refuses it, nothing changes. If something fails after the change, the unit restores the original NAME.

Important: After the change, the terminal and the task controller may see the implement as a new module and the module may change address. It is in beta and only tested in simulation.
