PROFIBUS to J1939

The BridgeWay Profibus to J1939 Gateway enables a Profibus-DP Master to read and write J1939 network data. The AB7614 operates simultaneously as a Profibus-DP Slave node on a Profibus network and a CAN node on a J1939 network. The module exchanges data from either network, based on a user defined configuration. Pyramid Solutions provides a free Windows-based configuration tool that allows the user to map J1939 parameter (PGN) data into the module’s input and output tables, accessible by the Profibus Master as I/O data over the Profibus-DP network.

Use Case Examples
  • A low-cost interface used on oil and gas equipment, marine vessels, locomotives, recreational vehicles, pumping stations, generators, engine test cells and other mobile and stationary equipment. Use to read parameters (data contained in configured inbound PGN messages) from a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), HMI or PC and/or write data onto the J1939 network for control and management (data populated in configured outbound PGN messages).
  • An on-vehicle gateway used to interface a J1939 network to an onboard industrial automation based control and monitoring system or HMI
Key Features
  • A configurable gateway that allows the user to configure the specific J1939 PGN messages to be transmitted or received by the module and the data within a PGN that is required for the user’s application
  • Supports SAE J1939 vehicle protocol over CAN and Profibus-DP (Slave) industrial automation protocol.
  • Configuration via free Windows-based software tool
  • Supports Flash field upgrades
  • LED network and module status indicators
  • Includes DIN rail mount
  • Rugged extruded aluminum enclosure
  • Brand label/OEM options
