Topics

J1939 Interface

J1939 is a high-level protocol built on the CAN bus that provides serial data communication between electronic control units (ECUs) in heavy-duty vehicles.

J1939 Parameter Group Format

The application layer deals with parameter groups (PGs) sent and received over the network.

J1939 Network Management

Each device on a J1939 network has a unique address.

J1939 Transport Protocols

J1939 transport protocol breaks up PGs larger than 8 data bytes and up to 1785 bytes, into multiple packets.

J1939 Channel Workflow

Diagram to transmit and receive J1939 parameter groups.

MathWorks Virtual Channels

Emulate virtual CAN channels provided with the toolbox.

Supported Block Features

Supported features of blocks in the Vehicle Network Toolbox block library.

Featured Examples

Create and Use J1939 Parameter Groups

Create and Use J1939 Parameter Groups

Use Vehicle Network Toolbox™ with J1939 to create and manage J1939 parameter groups using information stored in CAN database files. This example uses the CAN database file, J1939.dbc.
