SAE J1939 vs. CAN Bus - Physical Layer And Higher Layer Protocol (HLP)

To answer the fundamental question upfront: SAE J1939 is a higher-layer protocol (i.e., an add-on software) that uses the CAN Bus technology as a physical layer. In addition to the standard CAN Bus capabilities, SAE J1939 supports node addresses, and it can deliver data frames longer than 8 bytes (in fact, up to 1785 bytes). However, [...]
