CAN J1939 Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator
Deep Sea Electronics has introduced its DSEA108 digital automatic voltage regulator with an onboard SAE J1939 port that allows the integration with third-party devices. The DSEA108 regulates the output voltage of an AC alternator that is supplied by a stator auxiliary winding or a shunt system taking power from the output windings. It features higher levels of stability [...]
CAN Bus And SAE J1939 Bus Voltage
CAN Bus MediumAccording to ISO-11898 specification, the CAN bus medium must support two logical states: Recessive and dominant. A CAN controller with its TTL output uses an additional line driver (transceiver) to provide the standard CAN Bus level. The dominant level (TTL = 0V) always overrides a recessive level (TTL = 5V), which is, especially [...]
SAE J1939 Standards Collection - Serial Control And Communications Vehicle Network
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. The J1939 Standards Collection was designed to follow the ISO/OSI 7-Layer Reference Model as far as necessary. Each layer is addressed by a corresponding document. The SAE has named documents addressing the transport (4), session (5), and presentation (6) layer in the ISO/OSI 7-Layer [...]
SAE J1939 Programmable Data Traffic Simulator For Generating Diesel Engine Signals (PGNs)
The following represents an update on our current development activities, in this case the jCOM.J1939 Programmable Data Traffic Simulator (a first prototype is shown in the image to the left).In short, the plan is that the device is being set up by means of a Windows software and then runs the programmed PGNs (Parameter Group [...]
SAE J1939 Monitor, Analyzer, And ECU Simulator For Windows - New Byte & Bit Editing Mode
The jCOM1939 Monitor Software by Copperhill Technologies is the ideal software tool for monitoring, analyzing, and simulating SAE J1939 data traffic. The program links to our jCOM.J1939.USB ECU Simulator Board that operates as an SAE J1939 to USB (or UART) gateway. This comprehensive and easy-to-use, easy-to-understand Windows software illustrates not only SAE J1939 data traffic; it also allows the [...]
ELD Concept: SAE J1939 Data Recording And Display Using Android Or iOS Devices
An electronic logging device (ELD) is electronic hardware that is attached to a commercial motor vehicle engine to record driving hours. The driving hours of commercial drivers (truck and bus drivers) are regulated by a set of rules known as the hours of service (HOS). The Commercial Vehicle Driver Hours of Service Regulations vary in Canada and [...]
SAE J1939 Address Management Messages (Address Claim PGNs)
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. According to SAE J1939/81, network management procedures are used to “collectively manage the network”.While other higher layer protocols based on CAN Bus do not support dynamic node address assignments per default, the SAE J1939 standard provides yet another ingeniously designed feature to uniquely identify ECUs [...]
SAE J1939 Joystick With Multi-Axis Hand Grip Controller For Off-Road Vehicles And Machinery
The XD series of joysticks by Apem is a multi-axis hand grip controller engineered for demanding vehicle applications in harsh environments, and it supports the SAE J1939 higher-layer CAN Bus protocol.The joystick feature non-contacting Hall effect technologies fit for off‑highway vehicles and machinery. It measures 60 mm below the panel, yet resists horizontal loads of up to 400 [...]
SAE J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator - Quick Start
Our jCOM.J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator is designed to allow the experienced engineer as well as the beginner experimenting with SAE J1939 data communication without the need of connecting to a real-world J1939 network, i.e., a diesel engine. To establish a network, you need at least two nodes, and that fact applies especially to the CAN Bus [...]
Programmable SAE J1939 Analog Signal Output Controller
The 4 Analog Signal Output CAN Bus Controller by Axiomatic extends machine control networks by adding I/O control to the CAN Bus. Diesel engine control systems with SAE J1939 can communicate with 4-20 mA or other analog signal input devices using this controller as a smart interface. The controller can be configured to accommodate a particular application utilizing [...]
