SAE J1939 vs. CAN Bus - What's the Difference?

To say it upfront, the difference between SAE J1939 and CAN Bus (Classical CAN and CAN FD) has all to do with so-called "Higher Later Protocols (HLP)," and SAE J1939 is one of them. I have written a post about HLPs (see: Guide to SAE J1939 - CAN Bus Higher Layer Protocols), but I would like [...]

Guide to SAE J1939 - Parameter Group Number Compilation

The following is an excerpt from  A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. For internal purposes, the parameter group number is extended to 24 bits = 3 bytes, where the most significant 6 bits are always set to zero. Each ECU must accomplish this process individually; this procedure is not part of the CAN standard. To compile [...]

Guide to SAE J1939 - Transport Protocol (TP) Message Packaging and Reassembly

The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. Certain parameter groups may require more than the eight data bytes supported by the CAN standard. The SAE J1939 standard, namely the Transport Protocol Function, supports message lengths up to 1785 bytes. If a program group requires more than eight data bytes (9…1785 bytes) and [...]
