MiC 4.0-BUS – The comment period for the update of the implement interface version 1.1.0 ends on July 11, 2025

With the MIC 4.0 BUS, a standard for cross-manufacturer communication between attachments and construction machinery has been created. For this purpose, an interface was developed that covers all relevant use cases for communication between attachments and machines, with the goal of investigating which data needs to be exchanged. This includes

• Identification data such as serial number and tool type,
• Status data such as the measured angular position and
• Control data for controlling tool functions.

The data interface is supplemented by rules for the operation of

MiC 4.0 - connection modules, control and monitoring of quick couplers, and an overarching safety concept for safe operation.

There is now a new update with version 1.1.0. The documentation for the interface is publicly available here.

The deadline for submissions is July 11, 2025.
