PROFIBUS to J1939 Gateway (p/n AB7614)

Firmware Version 1.04 Now Available (Sept. 2009)

The BridgeWay PROFIBUS to J1939 Gateway enables a PROFIBUS-DP Master to read and write J1939 network data.  The AB7614 accomplishes this by operating 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 provides a free Windows-based configuration tool (BWConfig) that allows the user to map J1939 parameter (PGN) data into the module's input and output tables, accessible by the PROFIBUS Master over the PROFIBUS -DP network.

See our sample configurations and application notes to get instant access to J1939 data or to test your application !
