The development of a CAN (Controller Area Network) based control system for an air seeder system will be presented. The CAN bus is a high‐speed serial communications system, which was developed by Bosch and is being used in automotive, truck and bus industries. It is also being adopted as an ISO standard (11783) for use on agricultural equipment. This paper will present the development of a controller‐monitor for a variable drive air seeder. The variable drive air seeder allows changes in application rate on the go, making it well suited for precision farming applications. A discussion of the design process involving possible architectures of the system, expandability considerations, and compatibility of the electronics across various systems. The system architecture had to be a balance between cost, cable complexity, ECU complexity, and system flexibility.
