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 [...]

The Benefits Of Controller Area Network - CAN Bus - For Embedded Applications
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Controller Area Network, like any field-bus system based on serial communication, will reduce wiring, which was initially considered only as an advantageous side effect. Distributed control, i.e., the use of a multi-processor system, will consequently result in increased performance, and the vastly reduced costs [...]

Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Remote Frame And Avoiding Of Usage
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Experience over the years has revealed some quirks in the CAN Bus protocol, which are naturally not covered by any official document, and one of them has led to the call to avoid CAN remote frames. In August of 2005, CAN-in-Automation (CiA) published (but [...]
