SAE J1939 Simulator Generates Frequently Used SAE J1939 Signals (PGNs) For Diesel Engines
Our SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board With USB Port allows any host device (e.g., PC) with a USB COM port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with the SAE J1939 vehicle network, which makes it also suitable to simulate SAE J1939 data traffic. The simulation of SAE J1939 signals (i.e., PGNs) is a valuable [...]

SAE J1939 And CAN Bus Display Gauges For Off-Road And On-Road Vehicles
Veethree Technologie (UK) offers a range of CAN Bus and SAE J1939 LCD display gauges. The range of gauges directly wires to an SAE J1939 compliant CAN Bus without needing another device to drive them. Compact and easy to install, the gauges are available in 2″ & 3" sizes, in conventional black or white dial colors with chrome [...]
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, [...]
Repeaters for CAN Bus, CAN FD And CAN-Based Higher Layer Protocols Such As CANopen And SAE J1939
Adding to the current IXXAT line of CAN bridges and gateways, HMS Networks launched four Ixxat CAN FD repeaters, all supporting both the new CAN FD standard as well as traditional CAN Bus.With the IXXAT CAN FD repeaters, HMS allows the networking of existing CAN Bus systems as well as in CAN FD-based systems.The repeaters enable CAN FD (CAN [...]
