Ethernet to J1939
The BridgeWay Ethernet to J1939 Gateway supports EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP protocols over Ethernet. The AB7645 can operate as an EtherNet/IP Adapter Class device, allowing an EtherNet/IP Scanner to read and write J1939 network data. The AB7645 can also operate as a Modbus/TCP Slave, allowing a Modbus/TCP Master to read and write J1939 network data. Pyramid Solutions offers a free Windows-based configuration tool that allows the user to map J1939 parameter (PGN) data into input and output tables accessible over EtherNet/IP (via Assembly data) or Modbus/TCP (via Register data).
Use Case Examples
- A low-cost interface used on oil and gas equipment, marine vessels, locomotives, pumping stations, generators, engine test cells and other mobile and stationary equipment. Use to access engine parameters from a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), HMI or PC and send data to the J1939 network for control and management.
- An on-vehicle gateway used to interface a J1939 network to an onboard industrial automation-based control and monitoring system or HMI
