The ISO 11783 Serial control and communications data network standard is composed of a number of parts or documents. This paper presents the status of completed parts of the standard and the state of the parts that are at various stages of the standard drafting process.

A summary of the requirements of each part is presented and how they are to be used to complete the design of an agriculture and forestry compliant Serial control and communications data network on tractors and implements. A review of the global implementation of ISO 11783 is also presented. There are recommendations of the use of ISO 11783 as the standard communication system by researchers of new sensors and controllers for agriculture.
