Au J1708 to NMEA 2000 Gateway (GW4)

Au J1708 to NMEA 2000 Gateway (GW4)

Au GW4-1708-NM2K is a family of gateway products which can convert SAE J1708 data to NMEA 2000 data. It can be used for both stationary heavy duty diesel applications (such as Gen-set) and on-highway vehicles.

Supported J1708 PID (12)

PID 92, 100, 102, 110, 127, 158, 167, 168, 177, 183, 190, 247

Supported NMEA 2000 PGNs

PGN 126993, 127488, 127489, 127493

Features

  • Power Supply: Operating range: 10V ~ 32V DC ; nominal voltage: +12V DC or +24V DC
  • Operating Electric Current: 65mA typical, 250mA max
  • Operating Temperature: -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C)
  • Enclosure Color: Black
  • 1 LED: indicator for event indication. After power up, the LED will blink one time per seconds.
  • IP rating: IP68. It is an environment sealed device (IP68) with a Deutsch 12 cavities connector (DT15-12PA). A cable (Part #: CBL-DT06-12-232-001) can mate with the DT15 serial 12-pin connector. It can be ordered separately.
  • 1 DB9 Male connector on BUS side
  • Pin-out: Pin-out definition of the DT15 serial 12-pin connector (DT15-12PA) connector is illustrated here:

When DT15-12PA connector on GW4 is mated with cable CBL-DT06-12-232-001, a RS232 provide capability to connect the device to a PC and monitor running parameters, such as, the GW4 device status, the J1708/J1587 network status, and NMEA 2000 network status. RS232 port can also be used to perform device configuration when it is needed, such as, Engine Instance Configuration, Device sleep mode on /off control etc. After GW4 is setup and network is up and running, RS232 connection to PC is NOT necessary. PC is NOT required for a GW4 to work at normal condition.

Typical topology

By default, the GW4 will receive engine parameters from J1708/J1587 network, and these parameters will be automatically broadcast on NMEA 2000 CAN network. No complicate setup is needed. A typical topology of NMEA 2000 network and J1708 network with GW4-1708-NM2K is illustrated here:

GW4 Demonstration

Following video demostrated that Au GW4 receives Engine data from J1708/J1587 network, and transmit the same parameters to NMEA 2000 network.
