Ruggedized CAN Bus - IoT Gateway Connects Vehicles To The Cloud Via Wireless Or Cellular Interfaces
Posted by on
TTControl, a joint-venture company of TTTech Computertechnik and Hydac International, introduced an end-to-end solution connecting vehicles and mobile machines via a cloud platform for data processing and analysis.
The product was designed to enable OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and fleet owners to optimize their fleet management and machine design. It also serves to assure the availability of machines, which is particularly valuable for the agricultural and construction market. The company’s solution includes a hardware unit named TTConnect Wave (IoT gateway), an M2M SIM card, as well as cloud platform access (TTConnect Cloud Service).
The introduced hardware unit TTConnect Wave is a ruggedized IoT gateway that connects vehicles or machines to the cloud via cellular or wireless interfaces. It is designed to connect the customer’s fleets to the TTConnect Cloud Service platform. The device provides in-vehicle interfaces such as CAN Bus in addition to its wireless and cellular interfaces.
The solution allows machine OEMs and fleet owners to benefit from machine data and enables services such as convenient monitoring and management of machines through up-to-the-minute information on machine status, operations, and locations. Comprehensive information on parameters, individually defined by the customer, assist in improving operational efficiencies as well as to perform remote diagnostics.
The system allows customers to reach informed and data-driven decisions regarding future machine design. Based on the insights from machine operations, the option of creating new applications and services adds value to the system. High availability of machines is crucial, especially for the agricultural market. Some work within an agricultural year takes place in a limited time frame, such as harvesting or planting. For this reason, up-to-the-minute machine status information is beneficial since it indicates potential upcoming technical issues in advance, providing enough time to react and keep the machine in service — also, connectivity assists with field efficiency analysis and field operation recording.

SAE J1939 to Bluetooth Gateway With 9-Pin Deutsch Connection Cable
The jCOM.J1939.BT gateway is a high-performance, low-latency, wireless vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications.
It allows any host device with a Bluetooth COM port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with the SAE J1939 vehicle network. An SAE J1939 cable, suited for a 9-pin Deutsch connection, is included with the gateway.
The gateway supports the full SAE J1939 protocol according to J1939/81 Network Management (Address Claiming) and J1939/21 Transport Protocol (TP).
It is also supported by an extensive programming interface for Windows and Linux/Ubuntu applications, including full C/C++/C# source code for short time-to-market developments.
