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).
