SAE J1939 Utilizes CAN Bus Message Collision During Bus Arbitration
SAE J1939 is a higher-layer protocol (HLP) based on Controller Area Network (CAN Bus). It provides serial data communications between microprocessor systems (also called Electronic Control Units - ECU) in any heavy-duty vehicles. Everything that has to do with the CAN Bus provides reliability with the maximum possible performance in mind, not only regarding required electrical robustness [...]
Digital Signal Processor Board With One CAN Bus Interface
Renesas Electronics Corporation, a Japanese company providing leading-edge semiconductor solutions, introduced its RX23E-A MCU starter kit for analog evaluation of automation and measurement equipment. It utilizes an onboard CAN Bus driver integrated circuit.The starter kit serves developers working with the CAN-Bus-capable 32‑bit RX23E‑A MCU (micro-controller unit), featuring the analog front‑end (AFE). The package integrates hardware, software, and tools [...]
Quick Reference: Controller Area Network - CAN Bus - Versus Industrial Ethernet
At first glance, a comparison of the two networking technologies, Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) and Industrial Ethernet may appear as a battle between David and Goliath. On one side, you have the clear underdog, CAN Bus with its 1 Mbit/sec baud rate, its limited network length, and a maximum data length of 8 bytes per message. [...]
SAE J1939 Message Format And Interpretation Of PGNs
It happens on a regular basis that I am contacted by a user of our SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board With USB Port, complaining that our device does not display a PGN correctly or modifies the PGN before transmitting. The real problem here is a misinterpretation of the PGN and its purpose. For instance, a PGN [...]
