SAE J1939 - Simulation of Request Message with J1939 to USB Gateway
Posted by on
The above image shows my SAE J1939 test setup with a total of three nodes, all connected through our CAN-Bus Hub with 7 Ports and DC Power Connection. They are:
- SAE J1939 to USB Gateway in Plastic Enclosure...
- SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board With USB Port...
- PEAK PCAN-USB Pro FD - CAN, CAN FD, and LIN Interface for High-Speed USB 2.0...
The PCAN-USB Pro is set up in Trace mode, i.e., it is in mere monitoring mode.
Today's task is to demonstrate the simulation of the SAE J1939 Request Message.
SAE J1939 Request Message
As the name implies, the Request message type is being used to request data globally or from a specified destination in an SAE J1939 network. The Request message type is associated with a specific PGN as described here:
A node, receiving a request, is required to respond in any event, even when it means to send a negative acknowledgement (NACK) when the requested PGN does not exist (See also chapter Acknowledgement). A global request will not trigger a NACK when a particular PGN is not supported.
For more detailed information about the SAE J1939 protocol, see A Comprehensible Guide to J1939.
SAE J1939 Request Message Simulation
In our test setup, we have assigned one node (associated with the COM16 port) as the message responder as shown in the following image:
We are using PGN 65280 as the sample PGN. The node has claimed an address of 128.
In the next step, we set up the second node (associated with the COM4 port) as the message requester as shown here:
The Request Message PGN is 59904 (0xEA00) as defined in the SAE J1939 Standard. The data field contains the requested PGN 65280 (0xFF00). The node has claimed address 130.
As soon as we transmit the Request Message (node 130), node 128 responses:
To verify the functionality, let's have a look at the PCAN View trace data window:
In detail:
- First node claims address 128
- Second node claims address 130
- Node 130 requests PGN 65280 (0xFF00)
- Node 128 responds with PGN 65280
Our SAE J1939 gateways allow you to monitor, simulate, and record any PGN defined in the SAE J1939-71 Standard and diagnostic messages according to SAE J1939-73. Furthermore, they support the full SAE J1939 network management functionality, including request messages, address claims, and more.
SAE J1939 to USB Gateway in Plastic Enclosure
The SAE J1939 to USB Gateway utilizes our SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board With USB Port and embeds it in an enclosure. The SAE J1939 gateway allows you to monitor, simulate, and record any PGN as defined in the SAE J1939-71 Standard but also including diagnostic messages according to SAE J1939-73.
The board 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.
Quick Prototyping by Copperhill Technologies
As they say, a picture tells a thousand words. The above image demonstrates a predicament we encountered a few days ago. The enclosure we are using for our SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger With Real-Time Clock is not available at the moment, and it might take a few more months before new supplies arrive. At [...]
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 [...]
Any CAN Bus, SAE J1939, NMEA 2000 Development Requires the Right Testing Tools
I want to reiterate a point made in a previous post ("A Beginner's Guide to SAE J1939 Embedded Software Development"): When developing and testing your CAN Bus application, may it be Classical CAN, CAN FD, CANopen, SAE J1939, or NMEA 2000, you need to connect your device to a functional network. One solitary node connected to your [...]
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 [...]
NMEA 2000 / SAE J1939 Data Scanner with BLE Interface for iOS Applications
This post is a follow-up on NMEA 2000 Data Scanner with Bluetooth, BLE for Android, iOS, PC Applications. In this new post, I also include SAE J1939, since NMEA 2000 is based on J1939. Also, in this particular case, instead of the NMEA2000-compatible 5-pin M12 connector, I used a DSUB9 as it applies to the CAN Bus [...]
NMEA 2000 Data Scanner with Bluetooth, BLE for Android, iOS, PC Applications
Our N2K-BT gateway functions as a NMEA 2000 to Bluetooth data scanner for any host device with a Bluetooth or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) port, such as PCs, phones, or tablets. Therefore, it supports operating systems such as Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and more. In addition, the wireless communication protocol employs easy-to-read and easy-to-process ASCII [...]
Agricultural Control Unit Supports Isobus, SAE J1939, and CANopen Connectivity
The EC44 Agri control unit by Epec (Finnland) supports Isobus communication for agriculture applications. In addition, the device can upgrade existing systems to Isobus connectivity when used as a gateway. The Isobus-compliant device allows plug-and-play compatibility between tractors and other agricultural equipment (e.g., seeders or fertilizers) from different manufacturers and brands. Legacy implementations operated via customized human-machine interfaces (HMI), i.e., [...]
