SAE J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator
Our JCOM.J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator are designed to allow experienced engineers and beginners to experiment with SAE J1939 data communication without needing to connect to a real-world J1939 network, i.e., a diesel engine.
To establish a network, you need at least two nodes. This applies especially to CAN/J1939, where the CAN controller will shut down after transmitting data without receiving a response. Therefore, our jCOM.J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator consist of two J1939 nodes: our jCOM.J1939.USB, an SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board with USB Port. More Information...

Literature on Maritime Electronics, Including NMEA 2000
Replacing Your Boat's Electrical System The electrical system on a boat is crucial for the operation of all manner of valuable and critical equipment, yet a simple failure or weakness can render these systems inoperable. In older boats, fatigued or damaged wiring can be problematic or even terminal, so Mike Westin shows how to replace a [...]
Display for Off-Road Vehicle Engines with J1939 interface
The EngineMonitorPlus is a display and control device with a CAN Bus interface designed specifically for use in off-road vehicle engines. It supports the most common messages (PGN, Parameter Group Number) of the SAE J1939 standard. Furthermore, it provides a simple configuration of displayed parameters, errors (DM1), and service messages, allowing the user to configure and [...]

SAE J1939 Display Units for Off-Highway Industrial Engines
The Enginemonitor displays by B-Plus are expansion tools, especially for industrial engines with SAE J1939 interfaces. They enable users to retrieve information from mobile machines and communicate commands directly. Thanks to their robust housings and protection level, the devices can operate directly in the cab and the outdoor area of mobile machines. Due to various device versions, the [...]
J1939 Protocol Stack Sketch for ESP32 Using the Arduino IDE
The ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system-on-chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth. The ESP32 series employs a Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core and single-core variations and includes built-in antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power management modules. Furthermore, the processor provides the means to easily [...]
SAE J1939 Diagnostic Device Includes a PGN, SPN Database
The handheld PCAN-Diag FD device from PEAK-System supports diagnosing communication on a CAN (FD) network. In addition, a separately available module extends the functionality to analyze SAE J1939 data traffic. The SAE J1939 Standard describes communication in utility vehicles via CAN Bus. The standard specifies messages and data for transmitting diagnostic and control information using PGNs (Parameter Group Numbers) and [...]
SAE J1939: Simulation of Analog and Digital Signals with the JCOM1939 Monitor Software
The JCOM1939 Monitor Software is ideal for monitoring, recording, analyzing, and simulating SAE J1939 data traffic. The system works in combination with our SAE J1939 gateways. This comprehensive and easy-to-use, easy-to-understand Windows software displays not only SAE J1939 data traffic but also scans the network, simulates an ECU (incl. full node address negotiation features), and responds [...]
Data Acquisition from Heavy Duty Vehicles Using SAE J1939 CAN Bus
Modern vehicles have electronic control units (ECUs) to control various subsystems such as the engine, brakes, steering, air conditioning, and infotainment. These ECUs (or ‘controllers’) are networked to convey information and output measured and calculated data to each other.This in-vehicle network is a data goldmine for improved maintenance, measuring vehicle performance and its subsystems, fleet [...]
