Anybus-X Module Description
Overview
The Anybus-X Ethernet to J1939 Gateway allows you to monitor and control data
on a J1939 heavy duty vehicle network from an Ethernet device. Data from J1939
messages are mapped to I/O table locations, making them accessible to the Ether-
net network. The EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP protocols are supported. The
Anybus-X acts as an EtherNet/IP Adapter, allowing J1939 data to be transferred
to an EtherNet/IP Scanner device using I/O or explicit messages. The module
acts as a Modbus/TCP server, allowing J1939 data to be addressed as Modbus reg-
isters by a Modbus/TCP client device.
Examples of applications of the Ethernet to J1939 Gateway:
•
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.
