ISOBUS
AOG-TaskController
Official ISOBUS Task Controller for AgOpenGPS. Controls sections on any ISOBUS implement via PCAN adapter.
TC
Control your implement sections automatically with AgOpenGPS — via ISOBUS, RS232, CAN or hardware mods.
Section Control allows AgOpenGPS to automatically turn on/off individual sections of your implement (sprayer booms, planter rows, spreader sections) based on your field boundary and already-covered area. This eliminates overlap and skip, saving inputs and money.
There are multiple ways to connect your implement to AgOpenGPS for section control. Choose the method that matches your equipment:
The standard way. AgOpenGPS acts as an ISOBUS Task Controller and sends section commands over the CAN bus to any ISOBUS-compliant implement. Requires a PCAN adapter.

For older rate controllers and implements that accept serial RS232 commands. These bridges translate AgOpenGPS section commands into the proprietary serial protocol of your controller.
Section control bridge for Bogballe spreaders via RS232 serial connection.
Bridge for TÜVR (Hungarian) rate controllers. Translates AOG commands to serial protocol.
Bridge for AGTronik rate controllers. Enables section control via serial communication.
Serial bridge for Hardi sprayers. Implements Hardi's section control protocol over RS232 (this is the proper protocol — Hardi is not TUVR).
Bridge for the AMAZONE ASD / LH5500-style serial protocol. Translates AOG section commands to ASD telegrams. Work in progress.
Direct CAN bus communication for brand-specific section control, bypassing the ISOBUS Task Controller layer. Useful when the implement doesn't fully support ISOBUS TC but does respond to specific CAN messages.
Physical hardware modifications for section control when no digital interface is available. Typically involves intercepting or replacing valve drivers with relay boards controlled by AgOpenGPS.
Hardware modification for Amazone Amaspray section control. Relay-based section switching with wiring diagrams.
Physical key toggle solution for Hardi sprayers. Automates the physical section switches on Hardi control boxes.
Custom PCB for Hardi Navigator section control. Replaces or intercepts the original section switching logic.
Complete rate control solutions that handle both section switching and application rate. These systems include their own custom PCBs and can fully control a sprayer.
| Method | Best for | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| ISOBUS | Modern implements with ISOBUS socket | PCAN adapter + CPC connector |
| RS232 | Older controllers (Bogballe, TUVR, AGTronik) | USB-RS232 adapter + custom bridge firmware |
| CAN | Brand-specific direct control | PCAN adapter + brand-specific software |
| Hardware | No digital interface available | Relay board + wiring work |
