Synopsis

SAE J1939 has become the accepted industry standard and the vehicle network technology of choice for off-highway machines in applications such as construction, material handling, and forestry machines. J1939 is a higher-layer protocol based on Controller Area Network (CAN). It provides serial data communications between microprocessor systems (also called Electronic Control Units - ECU) in any kind of heavy duty vehicles. The messages exchanged between these units can be data such as vehicle road speed, torque control message from the transmission to the engine, oil temperature, and many more. The information in this book is based on two documents of the SAE J1939 Standards Collection: J1939/21 - Data Link Layer J1939/81 - Network Management A Comprehensible Guide to J1939 is the first work on J1939 besides the SAE J1939 standards collection. It provides profound information on the J1939 message format and network management combined with a high level of readability.

About this title

Review

Finally! A great book on SAE J1939! - 5 Stars

Well, it can't get any better than this! Together with "A Comprehensible Guide to Controller Area Network" by the same author I now have a reference to J1939 that covers the most important documents: SAE J1939, SAE J1939/11, SAE J1939/21 and SAE J1939/81 and that for a fraction of the price of the SAE downloads. Just to put things into perspective, the book does not contain all PGNs and SPNs (but I do know now what they are), which make 1000+ pages in the SAE J1939 Standards Collection, but it explains the J1939 standard (as the title promises) in a "comprehensible" way. The author uses plain English (something that you won't find in the SAE documents) and provides a great number of illustrations that are painfully missing in the SAE J1939 standards. A great reading for everybody who either needs an entry into J1939 or just wants to know how J1939 works.
