The MasterCAN V-Gate module reads messages from an SAE J1587 and SAE J1939 network, filters and merges the data into single SAE J1939 messages, and transfers the processed data via the output CAN Bus interface. The converter is suitable for vehicles and machinery equipped with SAE J1708 (SAE J1587) networks.

The device input signals may be:

• PGNs (Parameter Group Numbers) according to SAE J1939/71
• PGNs (Parameter Group Numbers) according to ISOBUS
• MID/PID data according to SAE J1708, SAE J1587

The MasterCAN V-GATE automatically and simultaneously receives SAE J1939 and SAE J1708 (SAE J1587 protocol) data. The MasterCAN device analyzes the received data, filters out a pre-configured set of most valuable PGNs, generates SAE J1939 messages (PGNs), and transmits them using the CAN/SAE J1939 output interface.

Note: The MasterCAN V-Gate translates only a sub-set, i.e., the most important vehicle data from J1708 into J1939. For a list of transmitted PGN, please refer to the product page. Please make sure the list includes the data you need for your application.

The converted messages are valuable for fleet management systems such as telematics devices and GPS trackers.

SAE J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator

The JCOM.J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator is designed to allow the experienced engineer as well as the beginner to experiment with SAE J1939 data communication without the need of connecting to a real-world J1939 network, i.e., a diesel engine. 

In order to establish a network, you need at least two nodes. That fact applies especially to CAN/J1939, where the CAN controller will shut down after transmitting data without receiving a response. For that reason, our jCOM.J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator consists of two J1939 nodes, namely our jCOM.J1939.USB, an SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board with USB Port.

The jCOM.J1939.USB gateway board is a high-performance, low-latency vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications. The board supports the full SAE J1939 protocol according to J1939/81 Network Management (Address Claiming) and J1939/21 Transport Protocol (TP).
