PROFIBUS TO J1939
Ethernet to J1939 Gateway (p/n
AB7645)
Firmware Version 2.04 Now Available (Sept.
2009)
The
BridgeWay Ethernet to J1939 Gateway
supports EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP protocols over Ethernet. It 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 provides a free Windows-based configuration tool (BWConfig) 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).

Important Firmware Update Notes
- The Occurrence Count field in the
J1939 diagnostic table entries now contains the SPN Conversion
Method Flag in the high bit. The Occurrence Count value must be
masked from the lower 7 bits. See the user manual for
details on use of the Conversion Method Flag.
Other Key Firmware Updates
- Updates to further enhance module
reliability
- The module now supports up to 35
incoming J1939 Transport Protocol (large message) sessions.
Previously the module was limited to a single BAM and RTS/CTS
session.
- The module can now monitor up to
120 different PGNs in the Input data point configuration and
transmit up to 100 different PGNs in the Output data point
configuration. The previous limitation was 50 and 50.
- The J1939 Transport Protocol
(large message) handler now rejects incoming session requests
(both BAM and RTS/CTS) for PGN/Address pairs that are not
configured as input data points. Previously all large message
sessions were accepted and the messages were filtered after they
had been completely received.
- The SPN Conversion Method Flag is
now included in the high bit of the Occurrence Count field in
the J1939 diagnostic table entries. See the important notes
section above and the user manual for more details.
