The Bucher Automation system solution
Bucher Automation’s automation solution is fully scalable – for simple to highly complex slurry tanks and compatible with all common types of application rate control. Equipment options are equally flexible: you decide which functions and components to integrate – based entirely on your requirements and desired functionality.
Our principle: we divide the slurry tank into individual functional areas, develop an optimal automation solution for each sub-function, and combine them into a modular overall system. The result: vehicle manufacturers can configure and activate individual system combinations – precisely tailored to their specific requirements.
Scalable system architecture
The scope of automation depends on the number of desired functions – accordingly, the system can be expanded with additional input/output modules on the machine.
Expansion examples
Operating devices
The operating devices are ergonomically and functionally designed to meet the specific requirements of spreaders, ensuring safe operation at all times.
Controllers
The compact controller JetControlMobile X231, despite its small dimensions, offers a high number of flexibly configurable inputs and outputs. A special feature is the generously dimensioned half-bridges, which can be configured as full bridges and deliver up to 24 A in parallel operation.
I/O-Modules
The expansion modules JXM-IO-EX30 and JXM-IO-E30 are robust, CANopen®-enabled I/O units with a balanced I/O configuration. The EX30, with its innovative plug-and-play cabling concept, is ideal for flexible, decentralized solutions, while the E30, with reference output and efficient wiring, is optimized for series production in identical machines.
JXM-IO-EX30 and JXM-IO-E30 are part of a comprehensive product family of powerful I/O modules – discover more variants and use cases of our JXM modules..
Central electrics
The central electrics unit JXM-CE-60A offers a simple way to wire complex agricultural machines.
Cabling
The matching cables for connecting all components – from central electrics to ECU and I/O modules, as well as all actuators and sensors – are overmolded and rated IP69 when plugged in (dust- and waterproof).
For fast and secure integration of our I/O modules into mobile working machines, we provide clear documentation on recommended cable configurations. A cable overview for JCM-X231 and EX30 includes all relevant information for field wiring and supports efficient commissioning. All details are available in a compact PDF document.
HMI extensions and special control units
The POWERKEY PRO keyboard series features a compact design. Equipped with a CAN interface and individually assignable keycaps, the device offers a wide range of application possibilities.
An overview of available keypads and inserts is provided in this PDF document.

Precision Farming
The Bucher Automation system solution supports the Precision Farming functions defined by ISOBUS. This allows the ISOBUS terminal to specify exactly where and how much material should be applied. The application rate control adjusts the output precisely according to driving speed and predefined values. If a NIR sensor is installed on the machine, the application can also be regulated based on the nutrient content. The controller reports the actual application rate back to the task controller in the terminal for documentation. The terminal can then forward the collected data – for example via AgriRouter – to the FMIS.
