Anybus X-gateway Module Description
Overview
The X-gateway J1939 to Modbus Interface (JMI) allows you to monitor and con-
trol data on a J1939 heavy duty vehicle network using a Modbus RTU master
device. Data from J1939 messages are mapped to I/O table locations, making
them addressable using standard Modbus read and write commands.
Examples of JMI applications:
•
An interface used on a diesel generator package to access engine parame-
ters from a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
•
An on-vehicle gateway used to interface the J1939 vehicle network to an
on board industrial automation based control system.
