SAE J1939 Vehicle Bus Adapters For FMS And IoT - Test & Development Aspects
As it turns out, I recently received two inquiries that involved the testing of wireless vehicle bus adapters for FMS and IoT applications, thus requiring the simulation of SAE J1939 data traffic. In one case, the device in question was the Wireless Vehicle Adapter (WVA) by Digi; the second case involved an unspecified IoT device. In [...]
Miniature Joystick With CAN Bus Interface Supports SAE J1939 And CANopen
Megatron introduced its TRY120 series of miniature joysticks with an installation depth of 26 mm. The onboard CAN Bus interface supports the CANopen and SAE J1939 serial protocols. With the TRY120 series, Megatron expands the TRY100 finger joystick series with a version for the operation in harsh environments. Both sets use identical geometries and thus allow a direct replacement. The [...]
IoT Enabled Controller With CAN Bus Port Supports SAE J1939 And NMEA 2000 Protocols
Divelbiss Corporation introduced its HEC-P2000 Family of IoT enabled controllers, offering the highest control capability in harsh environments. The HEC-P2000 family renders maximum flexibility for controlling mobile equipment, communicating with various serial bus protocols, logging system data, or adding Internet of Things (IoT) capability to existing systems. The device can be programmed using the FREE Divelbiss [...]
CANCrocodile - Contactless CAN Bus, SAE J1939, OBD-II, And SAE J1708 Reader
The CANCrocodile product line was created for safe and sound data reading from a vehicle CAN Bus network. The contactless reader can be used for vehicle telematics, GPS tracking systems, and monitoring multiple CAN Bus parameters of vehicle operation. These include speed, RPM, oil pressure & temperature, fuel volume & consumption, and more. The data reading takes place [...]
Electromechanical Linear Actuators With Embedded SAE J1939 Interface For Mobile Off-Highway Applications
Thomson (US) introduced its Electrak MD electromechanical linear actuators with an embedded SAE J1939 interface. They are suited for mobile off-highway, material handling, and factory automation applications. The integrated features reduce space consumption by keeping external equipment (e.g., encoders, switches) within the actuator housing. This functionality provides straightforward control and communication methods. Besides the CAN Bus connectivity, the actuators [...]
Difference Between CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Data Logger
SAE J1939 has become the accepted industry standard and the vehicle network technology of choice for off-highway machines in applications such as construction, material handling, agriculture, and forestry machines. SAE J1939 is a higher-layer protocol that utilizes Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) as its hardware layer. Consequently, many vendors in the CAN Bus industry claim SAE [...]
SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger With Real-Time Clock - July 8, 2020
Our SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger is ideal for vehicle fleet management (trucks, buses, agricultural equipment, and any other diesel engine application), prototype field testing, diagnostics, or reverse engineering. The SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger records SAE J1939 message frames (PGNs) onto an onboard MicroSD memory card and timestamps them with a real-time clock (RTC). [...]
SAE J1939 Data Logger - SD Micro Card Capacity And Write Speed Requirements
Our SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger was designed for vehicle fleet management (trucks, buses, agricultural equipment, and any other diesel engine application), prototype field testing, diagnostics, or reverse engineering. The SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger records SAE J1939 message frames (PGNs) onto an onboard MicroSD memory card and timestamps them with a real-time clock (RTC). Alternatively, it [...]
SAE J1939 Sensor Array Reports Vehicle Angular Rate, Acceleration, And Attitude Data Of Heavy-Duty, Off-Highway Vehicles
Honeywell's Tars (Transportation Attitude Reference System) series of 6D inertial sensor units allows the concurrent acquisition of rotation rate, acceleration, and tilt data for heavy-duty, off-highway, or other specialized vehicles. The sensors are available from SE Spezial-Electronic. The vehicle network protocol is SAE J1939. The reference sensor unit Tars-IMU operates either with a 5 VDC or 9 to [...]
