Glossary
AUX assignment
If, in addition to the terminal and implement the CCI A3 is con-
nected to the ISOBUS, implement functions can be performed using
the CCI
A3. For this purpose, operating elements of the CCI A3
must have been assigned implement functions.
This process is refer-
red to as
AUX assignment.
AUX control
AUX controls are typically joysticks or toggle switch strips.
An
AUX control enables the comfortable and efficient handling of
frequently used implement functions.
Button
Operating element in the three operating levels or the settings of
the CCI
A3, is activated by pressing the touchscreen.
CCI
Competence Center ISOBUS e.V.
Coupling
Female connector on the end of a cable.
Generic
pictogram
A pictogram saved on the CCI A3 to which an implement function
can be assigned. After the assignment, the
pictogram replaces the
lettering F1
-F10 of the buttons.
Implement
Towed or attached implement. An implement with which a task can
be executed.
Implement-specific pic-
togram
Some implements replace the labelling F1-F10 of the buttons with
the pictogram of the implement function. The pictogram originates
from the implement and is not part or the software of the CCI
A3.
In-cab
Term from the standard ISO 11783. Describes the nine-pole ISO-
BUS panel connector in the tractor cab.
ISOBUS
ISO 11783
International standard for data transfer between farming
imple-
ments and devices.
ISOBUS participant
A device that is connected over the ISOBUS and communicates via
this system.
Operating screen
The graphical user interface visible on the ISOBUS terminal of the
CCI
A3. The AUX assignment can be checked here.
or
The
buttons portrayed on the display of the CCI A3.
Plug
Male connector on the end of a cable.
Terminal
ISOBUS terminal
Terminating resistor
If no ISOBUS participant (e.g. an ISOBUS Terminal) is connected to
the ISOBUS
plug of the CCI A3, a terminating resistor must be
plugged into t
he cable end. This is contained in the scope of delivery
of the CCI
A3.

Touchscreen
Touch-sensitive display of the CCI A3, via which it is possible to op-
erate the implement functions and adjust the
AUX control.
UT
The Universal Terminal is the human machine interface (HMI) of
ISOBUS. This is the display and operating device.
Each
implement connected to the ISOBUS logs on to the UT and up-
loads its Object Pool. You operate the
implement via the operating
screens of the Object Pool.

About the CCI A3
The CCI A3 is a manufacturer-independent ISOBUS AUX control for handling
ISOBUS implement functions.

. Level pushbutton
The CCI A3 is operated via the touchscreen. The display brightness can be ad-
justed (⇒Chapter 3.6).
The CCI A3 acknowledges the touching of a button by vibrating and output-
ting a touch sound. The vibration intensity and the volume of the touch sound
can be adjusted (⇒Chapter 3.6).
The CCI A3 has three operating levels and up to 10 buttons. One button can
be assigned one implement function in each operating level (⇒Chapter 3.7).
→Up to 30 implement functions can be controlled.
Pressing the level pushbutton on the rear side of the casing, switches you to
the next operating level (⇒Chapter 3.4).

The grids differ in respect of the number and arrangement of buttons. Using
the grid you can optimally match the CCI A3 to implement and application
(⇒Chapter 3.5). Three different, quickly interchangeable grids are available
with 8, 9 or 10 buttons, the separating strips, delimit the buttons from each
other in a tactile manner.
Identify your device based on the information on the nameplate. The name-
plate is attached to the cable.

With each new version, the CCI A3 undergoes the AEF conformity test and is
certified for the following AEF ISOBUS functionalities:
Universal Terminal
So that with an ISOBUS terminal, the buttons of the CCI
A3 can be assigned
implement functions.
Auxiliary Control (new)
For the handling of frequently used implement functions wit
h the CCI A3.
NOTE
Implement and terminal must be connected to the ISOBUS and sup-
port AUX
-N.
If one of the two
components does not support AUX-N, the implement can-
not be operated with the CCI
A3.
Before commissioning the CCI A3, check whether implement and ISOBUS
terminal support AUX-N.
Use the operating instructions of the devices or alternatively the compat-
ibility check of the AEF ISOBUS database (⇒https://www.aef-isobus-da-
