Au Gateway 5 (GW5) is a gateway device. It converts pressure signals from up to two pressure sensors to digital format of "Brake Primary Pressure " and "Brake Secondary Pressure" information onto J1939 and J1708/J1587 network.
GW5 supports Bendix pressure sensor part # 5005758, 5008677.
Nominal Power Supply: Operating range: 12V DC nominal input, +14.2V DC recommended
Operating Electric Current: 65mA typical, 250mA max
Operating Temperature: -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C)
Compact size: 4-1/8" L X 1-3/4"W X 7/8"H

Dual CAN Baud Rate: supports Two field configurable CAN baud rate: 250K and 500K
Audile warning and LED indicators
RS232 side DB9 female connector: for firmware boot-loading purpose
BUS side DB9 male connector: for power, J1939 network, J1708 network, pressure sensor signal inputs and output +5V to pressure sensors
Hardware Connection
Au GW5 is a handheld gateway device. It can run independently without a computer. A typical topology of SAE J1939 network with GW5-PS-CAN is illustrated here:
On the RS232 side, Au Gateway 5 (GW5) can be connected to a computer through a USB to RS232 convert cable (part #: CBL-USB-01). Connection to PC is only used for firmware boot-loading purpose,
computer is not necessary during general use.
On the Bus side, a 9-wire pigtail cable (part #: CBL-GW5-001) can be used to connects GW5 to power supply, J1939 network, J1708 network, and up to two pressure sensors.
For testing purpose, an optional Digital Gauge Driver can be used to connect to the J1708 network and drive Primary pressure gauge and Secondary pressure gauge.
Note: All devices must use the same reference ground.
GW5 LED Settings and Status
Au GW5 equipped with 3 push buttons (Menu, Down, Up) and 9 LEDs (one of the LED is not in-use for GW5)
When GW5 is powered up with +14.2V DC, Power LED will be constant on, Run LED will blink at 1 second interval. One of the CAN baud rate LED (250K/500K) will lit depends on the device CAN baud rate setting.
To switch CAN baud rate, press and hold both Menu and Down buttons at the same time until LED status change. In the following figure, the first LED (Yellow) lit up indicates GW5 device is setting at 500K CAN baud rate
And in this figure the second LED (Green) lit up indicates GW5 device is setting at 250K CAN baud rate
Here is the summary of LED indicators on device status, and how to use push buttons to change device settings.
LED
Device Status
Power
Constant on. Device is powered up
Run
Blink every 1s. Device runs normally
500K
When the LED is on, Devices running at 500K CAN baud rate
250K
When the LED is on, Devices running at 250K CAN baud rate
(Primary) Low
When the LED is on, Primary brake Pressure is below 62 PSI
(Primary) Error
When the LED is on, Primary brake Pressure Sensor not connected or malfunction
(Secondary) Low
When the LED is on, Secondary brake Pressure is below 60 PSI
(Secondary) Error
When the LED is on, Secondary brake Pressure Sensor not connected or malfunction
Note: the 500K and 250K LED are mutual exclusive, only one LED will be on at a time. They cannot be both on, nor both off.

Silent the buzzer, the buzzer can only be turn off when warning is on, it will be automatically turned on at each power reset.
Buzzer Warning
GW5 has both audible and LED warning indication. If GW5 detects one of the following situation, a beeping will sound out at 1 second interval:
GW5 is not connected to primary pressure sensor or primary pressure sensor malfunction
Primary brake pressure is lower than 62 PSI
GW5 is not connected to Secondary pressure sensor or Secondary pressure sensor malfunction
Secondary brake pressure is lower than 62 PSI
To silent the buzzer, press and hold both Up and Down button. The buzzer can only be turn off when warning is on, it will be automatically turned on at each power reset.
Following video demostrated that Au GW5 receives anolog pressure signals from pressure sensors, then convert them into to digital format of "Brake Primary Pressure " and "Brake Secondary Pressure" information onto J1939 and J1708/J1587 network.
