A data communication interface for an agricultural utility vehicle, particularly an agricultural tractor, having an interface connector that can be connected either to a first data communication network or to a second data communication network by means of an electrically operatable changeover device, wherein the first data communication network is terminated at a line end associated with the interface connector by means of a disconnectable terminating resistor, and having a control unit that connects the interface connector to the first data communication network by means of appropriate operating of the changeover device exclusively when it infers the presence of a control signal that is provided for disconnecting the terminating resistor.

Data communication interface for an agricultural utility vehicle

The present invention is directed to a device for steering a second agricultural machine which can be steered over a field relative to a first agricultural machine. The device includes a distance meter mounted on one of the machines and operable for recording measured values with regard to direction and distance of objects adjacent to the distance meter over a horizontal region. The device also includes an evaluating means which is connected to the distance meter and is designed to output a steering signal for causing guidance of the second machine relative to the first machine on the basis of the measured values of the distance meter.
