Communication system for exchanging data
First Claim
1. A communication system for exchanging data between data recipients and data generators, comprisinga communication network via which a data exchange takes place between stationary and/or mobile units and/or within a stationary or mobile unit, said communication network connecting various communication media to one another;
- at least one communication manager assigned to said communication network and identifying a communication route of a data record between a particular data generator and an associated data recipient independently of a communication medium;
a mobile unit configured as an agricultural working machine including a CAN bus system, wherein said communication manager is assigned to said mobile unit and controls the data exchange between data generators and data recipients within said CAN bus system and between said CAN bus system and external data generators and data recipients; and
at least one control device including a software and hardware module which is directly connected to the CAN bus system via a first communication interface, said control device including at least one further communication interface that includes a communication manager which makes it possible for data to be exchanged between said CAN bus system and a software module of said software and hardware module of said control device in a protocol standard, as a bypass of said first communication interface.
