SAE J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator for Bench-Testing Vehicle Applications

The SAE J1939 Starter Kit by Copperhill Technologies is the perfect learning tool for the newcomer as well as the expert to get familiar with the details of the SAE J1939 protocol. The combination of user-friendly simulation hardware and software, including a readable SAE J1939 reference provides a pleasing contrast to working through the SAE J1939 Standards Collection.

A Brief Introduction to the SAE J1939 Protocol

The Society of Automotive Engineers  (SAE) Truck and Bus Control and Communications Subcommittee has developed a family of standards concerning the design and use of devices that transmit electronic signals and control information among vehicle components. SAE J1939 and its companion documents have quickly become the accepted industry standard and the vehicle network of choice for off-highway machines in applications such as construction, material handling, mass transportation, forestry machines, agricultural machinery, maritime and military applications.

Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) Tutorial - Extended CAN Protocol

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Truck and Bus Control and Communications Subcommittee had developed a family of standards concerning the design and use of devices that transmit electronic signals and control information among vehicle components. As a result, the higher layer protocol SAE J1939, based on CAN, was born, which required some backward-compatible functionality to older RS-232-based communication protocols (SAE J1708/J1587).
