MiC 4.0 BUS
MiC 4.0 BUS
The goal of the MIC 4.0 BUS is to create a standard for cross-manufacturer communication between attachments and construction machinery. For this purpose, an interface has been developed that covers all relevant use cases for communication between attachments and machines.
The goal was not to standardize the existing mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical interfaces between the attachment and the construction machine, but rather to investigate 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 the tool functions.
The data interface is supplemented by rules for operating MIC 4.0 BUS attachments, the control and monitoring of quick couplers, and an overarching safety concept to ensure safe operation.
The interface described in this document was developed between 2019 and 2024 by Cluster 7 of the MIC 4.0 project, which consists of representatives from machine and implement manufacturers as well as end-users of the products. The common motivation during the development process was to create maximum customer benefit.
